Apex Takes Too Long To Load

I'm not sure you'll at #respawn have the ability to make big changes, but i'll sate what I see.

First issue, Loading

This below is how I currently look at Apex Legends.

Loading, Screen shuffles, Picks a legend, Champs screen, Ship loads, Picks location, drops.

-At anytime during this you could have issues. Common issue is the 3rd person doesn't load and/ or you pick someones legend, they quit. Too many things could go wrong, even before the player has the chance to shoot.

Why is this even how Apex Legends starts in the first place? There are countless things that do go wrong with this setup. The major issue is the wasted time between each load. I want to start a game, pick a legend, drop, simple.

Also if I die, I DO NOT want to leave the game. I want the game to start looking for my next match! This might* fix the issue of people quitting (*means small chance) if they can watch while loading the next match. I myself think people quit to get into the next game.

#Respawn If you fix the loading to something quick, You might fix a couple of issues all at once. Skill Based Matchamking, Quitting, Wasted time. The only reason I see the menu in this current state is to get people to think about buying skins.

Also, I'm not saying that it takes too long to load as in time bewteen hardware. I'm just saying in the personal view of someone who just wants to play, There is a lot of steps that are not needed to get there. I just want to play myself. I also wouldn't mind a gametype with no legends, but that is a different topic altogether.

    "I myself think people quit to get into the next game."
    You are very correct in this statement. A lot of players would just prefer to load into a new game rather than wait to be revived.

    This sounds cool, I wouldn't mind seeing something like that either.

    The Legend idea goes way back (2019 March I think. Should have the topic in my bio). I went into full detail if i recall. I said something like all legend abilities should have been just attchments around the map. One, if something gets the nerf hammer it doesn't ruin a whole legend around it. Second it doesn't force a player to change their mind about said legend. Pathgot his grapple cut to 30 seconds, 80% now don't use Path. LifeLine gets med OP res, massive use spike. All because of one ability.

    Also creating pickups means everyone is the same size, so no one is left out. After I asked this I started playing COD. Around that time, they made Warzone. It's almost the same idea. I even stated that you shoudln't have to load back into the menu, just to reload the same map your already on. COD now has a load feature that jumps players into the game, at least someone is listening to me.

    It would have been sweet to start as a no one with no abilities running around. Than become some spiderbot lifeline,Toxic Octane. #Respawn make this game immediately.

    About the people quitting, yeah I understand their point of view. Some just want to reset, but you shouldn't need to reload the same map your on just to do it all over again. It's wasted time. Everything needs to be fast.

    I guess if they fixed loading, all they would have to fix is...
    Cheating
    3rd parties
    Low RNG spawns
    Cheating
    Teaming
    3rd party devices like cronusmax
    Help Dice create a good Battlefield
    Eat some bacon
    Remove EAC from Apex and ask for a refund
    Link Phones to PC accounts
    Give the DEVO the same spawn rate as someone might play Battlefield Firestorm (close to 0.0000000001%)
    Fix Pathfinder
    Nerf Lifeline
    Add a Day 1 classic Apex event (game is 100% day 1)
    Remove caustic, state a 1 million word apology

    Okay, that should work.
