Apex is garbage
Utterly pointless, useless game. Run around shoot each other. Guys quitting, cursing you out. Games are supposed to be fun. Remember? I get on this piece of crap and get cursed out by little kiddies....
"And I'll say one more thing. Any developer, anybody working on this game, who doesn't respect the game as a sport. Should be fired immediately."
In case of a pvp multiplayer game, that is correct. That's why I like Apex Legends. They successfully avoided the "game for everyone" fiasco Overwatch did, where you can do whatever you want, nothing warrants a report and everyone has their own 'vision and approach to the game'.
Here, developers have actually invested effort in developing mechanisms that aren't contradictory to themselves, excellent ping system, above average gunplay and even the ability to "carry", which was sorely lacking from modern multiplayer titles.
Being a semi pro quake 3 competitor, I was left to dry for a decade or so, then I tried Overwatch, it turned out to be a blunder with absolute anarchy and lack of competitive elements. Apex, despite being a BR game, actually delivers as a functioning FPS, even in solo queue. This game might actually revitalize the genre, if they add structure to it.
Oh, and I see you are full of assumptions. Well, just for the record, I was also a street basketball player, not a great one, but a decent one, I'd say I was in plus financially after I stopped playing. I think I kinda know about esports and sports from first person perspective, but hey, don't let that stop you from creating that world you started to create in this thread.

No idea what you are trying to say or referring to bud. Did I reply to you in another post somewhere? IF a developer doesn't consider this a sport he should be fired. Don't like that comment I guess? I'm trying to figure out what the heck you are upset about. I don't think that was flaming respawn. But now I will.
One thing thats a slap in the face to solo players by the devs, is the only win stat being "wins with full squad". Thats a joke on us. Its like they favor people with friends and look down on the majority of gamers. Or maybe they are non sportlike carebears who think stats breed negative players. When anyone who follows sports, know that stats are what makes sports and will attract more players who simply like to follow their own personal progress then those who will be turned off by them. More stats is always better.
But what an insult to the majority of people playing this game who don't have two regular teamates to play with. To me that's very telling on how they don't know how to put themselves in the gamers shoes to even foresee teaming with random people on 3 man teams with no raking system being a problem.
Unlike in the street where you can't change face, anonymous people online have very little respect for anyone else, especially the game. Its like respawn never even used the internet before!
You know whats weird? You calming i ever responded to you. and then responding to your own post as if you are responding to me, before I even had a chance to respond hahah. Your a strange duckling.....
And I still don't even know what you are saying. That you don't consider video games as respectable as athletic sports in the street? That you think competitive only means professional tourneys where money is involved? That pwning noobs is competitive? That most casual players don't want competitive matches? Well then you are absolutely wrong!
