Apex Legends after 3000 Hours

Right off the bat after playing apex for over 3000 hours I can EASILY say that this game is one of the buggiest and least cared for games I have ever played. And its getting worse every season making...

Swapping weapons

Okay that's a fair reason, honestly they should just allow us to customize the amount of time we'd have to press it to pick up.

General bugs

The only 2 bugs that go back to the start which you've mentioned is the knockdown shield issue and audio issues.

I've barely heard of users encountering old bugs, even if they are, it's happening to such a small amount of users that it's barely getting any traction.

Bug reports are important because the team will not look at every video and scan for any issues.

Social media isn't so easy for them to find issues, they really have to go viral for them to take notice of such issues.

As for the more recent issues, there have been numerous statements indicating that they are working on it, especially those viral things like the freezing and heirloom issues.

It seems like you've got a problem with these issues, which is understandable, I just find it a bit confusing that you haven't made a bug report yourself as that would help quite a bit resolving these types of issues.

Audio

I've seen so many reports of poor audio in other games from many users, usually it was related to them in some shape or form.

Not saying it's the case here, though do note that there are others that can encounter these types of issues in other games.

After all, I've never had any audio issues with Apex, so does that mean it's actually so widespread?

Have you tried troubleshooting certain audio issues already?

Gameplay

Yeah, giving the options to split off from crossplay might be good, though it's still not something that can 100% be avoided.

Users on PC can just plug in a controller mid-game and use that, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Companies typically don't share their security systems, so if Fortnite and CoD have found a way to block these types of devices then that won't instantly mean that everyone on the market is aware of how to do this.

And cheaters do get banned, a lot... though there are just too many damn cheaters or the same cheaters that just get past their ban to play again.

It's a constant war, typically we don't really see a drop in cheaters unless an extremely big breakthrough for the AC.

(Byfron/Hyperion getting removed doesn't really help either)

@XHelperZ
I haven't really encountered much bugs in apex myself aside from foot step audio, but imo with such a complained about bug already I'm sure hundreds of people have already complained and reported about it. So why add to it??
In my past experiences on different a game reporting on an already known bug does nothing, but for you to be sent an automated message along the lines of "we're sorry you had to deal with this, but this issue is being worked on."
I feel very much the same would happen when reporting a known bug on apex due to the already well known fact that ea loves sending automated messages to its customers seeking help.
(Not sure where you got the info that he never reported a bug and don't really care, I just don't think it's fair to be condescending about it when these bugs (most of them) are already well known)
All in all I do think you both make fair points.
Yes, it does need to be fixed and yes it does seem like they just don't care because these issues have been persistent for a long time.
Also yes this stuff isn't easy, it takes a lot of time, and it's easy to miss things and it's not lost on me that games like apex rely on their player base to report bugs they encounter, not just complain about them in the forums.
But when new maps and skins take priority over these old bugs, it really makes you wonder.
