APEX NEEDS A CHANGE - PLEASE READ

I’m on the verge of quitting apex legends... it’s gotten to the point that I am not even enjoying my experience because it’s too difficult to rely on others 

(Please read to the end to see my suggestion)

alright let me just start by saying ,I love this game!! I have thrown down tons of money and I don’t regret it at all because I feel it helps to keep my favorite game alive.

lately I’ve been joining matches and it seems that people have no intention of playing through the entirety of the match. From what I can tell, it seems people just enjoy to kill others while they are at a large disadvantage like not having a weapon or armor. Or perhaps people want to practice and they dive to a place that definitely has enemies (I used to do that back in season 1, skull town so I get it) but when I’m with a team like this It’s really not that fun for me. Most of the time I’m running around spamming “I need a weapon” while the enemy team is delivering massive chops to the back of my neck. It’s even more frustrating when they do a finisher on you before turning you into a death box full of weapon attachments. 

I can understand that some people find it difficult to gain experience at the game as the training range is practically useless for the feeling of actual player interaction. There is moving targets and you can shoot the stationary dummies but really the only practice you can get in the game is the 5 seconds when you lock eyes with an enemy and if they are better than you, you won’t have time to react before they empty a clip into your dome. 

My main point of what I’m trying to say is this, I don’t want to feel crippled in a match when my team dives to a densely populated area and then disconnects as soon as they die in the first 30 seconds of landing. After they are gone and I’m alone, there is really no point of continuing the match as my chance of winning is greatly decreased. So I either explode myself and queue up again...or I just release my frustration on some unlucky team by suicidally shooting at them without any expectation of winning. This ultimately is a huge waste their resources and time and I’m sure they don’t appreciate it, but honestly I’m trying to enjoy the game just like everyone else and when people take away my ability to play “normally” (trying to be final squad alive) it just makes it to where my only way of playing is to be toxic or sit in the lobby.

Another situation that is very frustrating is when you prefer a more long range play style and your team mates prefer to run at people like fricking Minecraft zombies. Very annoying... you just ping an enemy to show their location and maybe get into a strategic position and in their smooth brain/overconfident-in-their-skills mind, they think you are saying “let’s run directly at them” so then I’m spamming “defending here!!!” Inside my heavily fortified area, and sending shots with my longbow (I’m a beast sniper) and then...my team gets downed and then... I guess I have to abandon my preferred play style and run up on the enemy team like a Minecraft zombie as well to get my team’s banners....before getting gunned down 3v1 style. 

So it’s finally got to the point that Im beginning to not enjoy playing apex anymore because these kind of people are so common.

Last night I actually sighed and turned off the game out of frustration and that is a very significant thing for me as I usually play everyday as much as I can... 

Suggestion 1: So I’m not sure if others would like this idea but I definitely think it would put an interesting spin on the way the game is played . And I’m not sure about how it could even be implemented but my idea is this

SOLO GAMEMODE!!

there is lots of things that would need to be changed like whether it’s instant elimination or when you get downed all players are given the ability to self revive without the gold knockdown shield so the finisher can still be usable. A few of the gold items may need to be reworked like backpack and gold knockdown shield (the backpack used to make using healing items faster I believe) and maybe the gold knockdown shield can apply the armor to you whilst reviving or maybe speed up the reviving animation? Idk it’s just a crazy idea.

Suggestion 2: Enhance the training range or create a “zombies” style game mode so that people can actually practice against some AI enemies that are not just stationary dummies, or a target with a very predictable movement pattern.

Off topic suggestion: Rampart’s passive needs a rework, it’s very annoying to use a LMG every... single... match... or I guess you can use a different weapon, if you don’t mind not having a passive.

Please upvote my post if you agree with me about any of my points or suggestions, also feel free to share some criticism if you really think my ideas suck.

Thanks
