Add a Game Mode with Unlimited Respawns

I’m just going to skip straight to the point Apex Legends might not be a dying game but it’s dying for me personally, I have been playing it less and less since probably Season 6...however in Season 7 I enjoyed Olympus and started playing more again but overtime the servers have gotten worse and worse to the point it’s almost unplayable, I still love the legends,lore, etc and have been at least trying to do some of my dailys (but most of the time I can’t even finish those before going somewhere else) 

Rogue Company has in a sense replaced Apex Legends for me, they may not be as in depth lore wise but they also have characters with unique personalities and toolsets and overall I love the gunplay on that game because its third person so you can actually admire your skins, defend around corners, crates, etc which is what Arenas should of been originally... a third person mode of Apex... you tested it out back in like Season 3 and honestly I loved it but it like most game modes never returned...

Anyways the reason I have noticed why I have been playing Rogue Company so much is due to their 6 v 6 Deathmatch mode, just 2 teams fighting to get to 65 kills first and it doesn’t matter if your having a great day or your the clown for the day... you can die 3 times in a row but your still in the game enjoying it with no downtime... now compare that to Apex Legends you spend more time queueing in the lobby than actually playing sometimes... 

I just feel like this is what apex legends is missing is a ‘’casual’’ game mode because it doesn’t matter if your on Battle Royale or Arenas its usually nothing but a sweatfest.... but with a game mode with unlimited respawns you can be having the worst day with the matchmaking and still be able to play it may not be a fun experience against sweats but at least your playing and thats the thing... players get better every single day... The skill ceiling gets higher and higher I’m not saying you need to handicap players who are skilled by removing their tap strafe, bunny hopping, etc to make the game more casual friendly but the fact of the matter is the better everyone gets the more time you might find yourself sitting in the lobby or hot dropping if you aren’t having the best day and unlimited respawns on death match, a 20 v 20 or 30 v 30, or even a game mode where you just hotdrop to skull town, capitol city, gardens or estates, etc might make players hotdrop less in Battle Royale because honestly thats all I find myself doing most of the time is hotdrop, get a couple kills then die and repeat because I don’t even see a point in trying to win anymore I usually get beamed from across the lobby but players using the jitter-aiming bug to remove all recoil or you can be having a great game then boom one kraber shot to the head is all it takes to absolutely ruin your day... the kraber shouldn’t even be in the game it should at least be nerfed so you can’t 1 shot someone with a purple, gold, or red shield

Edit: I was actually starting to believe you might of actually fixed the game... then we got to the final 2 squads and it started blasting music and then the very next game as the champion my game froze and now I’m getting code snake as usual after a freeze and now it MIGHT work or it might not... also in the match before that when I raised the bridges on World’s Edge the audio cut out to where you didn’t hear anything but Legend Quips until the bridge was fully raised

    Wouldnt the ultimate solution be if Respawn could man up and fix their ranked mode, making it a game mode where casual and below average skilled players are allowed to play in their own league for a longer time, perhaps the entire splits if they dont improve their current skill level, free from smurfs and soft-reset players? Because that is what I think is one of the biggest game design flaws with Apex...Rank is a joke because its so easy, almost inevitable, to advance through the lower ranks even if your actual skill in the game doesnt improve.. Its almost impossible to stay silver even if you get 0-1 kills every game (by somewhat simplified logic, 1 k/d average SHOULD mean that you are EXACTLY where you belong skill wise since that means that you are average in your lobbies)

    But on the topic of the thead; It would be interesting to try out in a LTM but I wonder how popular such mode would be as a permanent mode. When Arena came, I though that mode was a bit like "casual deathmatch" and I quickly lost interest and I might be incorrect  but isnt arena ranked quite unpopular too?

  • @BalladalidilaI don’t really like ranked for a number of reasons but mainly due to the penalty, I think the problem with Ranked Arenas is that not enough players actually like Arenas to play it... so to have both Arenas and Ranked Arenas split into 2 different queues despite them both having a leaver penalty is pretty pointless and they should be merged into 1 queue to give (hopefully) more balanced matchmaking but it probably still won’t be solid until they add different game modes, objectives, etc to keep players engaged... I originally loved Arenas but after the leaver penalty was introduced it killed the mode for me because it seems out of 10 matches 4 of them will have a afk teammate, 2-3 a disconnected player, 1 a sweat fest of a lobby so your getting steam rolled, and 1-3 matches are actually playable possibly 4-5 if your lucky and didn’t get as many afk/disconnected teammates

    Can I presume what you really dont like with ranked is not the leaver penalty per se but rather playing ranked with randoms? If so, I totally agree. Playing with randoms with leaver penalty is a nightmare and it almost becomes a mind game within your supposed team AGAINST your teammates...Like: "Will my random teammate back me up and do his part of the fight if I go in and knock two of the enemies or will he run as soon as the fight starts because he thinks you play this game by hiding until you are absolutely forced to fight?" 

    But its ha hard nut to crack since without leaver penalty, nothing would stop solo players (looking at you Wraith main =) to drop solo away from the team and do his own thing. Perhaps ranked is really a game mode for premades or smurfing hrmmm.. This game is actually one of the worst to play as a solo player since you, regardless of game mode, usually get teamed with a premade duo who only cares for each other at all times. So many times one of the premade duos get knocked, I start to fight that team to prevent him from being executed and instead of helping me, the other premade uses the distraction to run and revive his friend, which usually leads to me being executed since I had to 1v3 for a good minute... In pubs, I just leave when I notice such things but that is ofc not possible in ranked-
