Apex's biggest problems

Ever since launch there have been 3 major issues I have had with this game. 1 has been partially fixed, one looks like it may be getting fixed next week and im hoping Respawn will fix the third soon....

@RockScorpion384 The body shields can often be the difference, if they use the same approach. Unfortunately, other approaches aren’t as rewarding, such as camping or attempting a stealth attack. Plus, you can third party.
I’m not sure what you do during games, but it could be you need to get into fights more or third party or something like that.
Yeah nobody with p2020 can beat r-99, that’s a rather extreme example, but if the r-99 player doesn’t have shields, there is a chance. (With hop-up)
I meant more like r-301 and r-99 or something like that.

@Sir_Named Yeah but r301 is mid tier while r99 is top tier, im picking extremes because despite them being 'extremes' they occur extremely frequently. If p2020 vs r99 levels of extreme were a 1 in 100 games example it wouldnt be as much of an issue but it isnt, its like 1 in 3-5 games that happens. I also think despite 1 in 100 being a low % it would still be too high, having a mozambique/p2020/alternator should never put you at a disadvantage ever. They should all be viable weapons all the time.

There shouldnt be unviable weapons in a competitive game, especially one that revolves around luck and RNG. All weapons should be equally viable in all scenarios except drop weapons since they only appear late game to make the game end faster.

    @RockScorpion384 The mozam and p2020 can be viable if you have the hop up. Alternator isn’t great, but it functions. If you find yourself in this situation, it could be better to just leave.
    Plus, not all weapons should or could be equally viable in all scenarios.
    First, the obvious contradiction to this is the relationship between snipers and shotguns. One is for short range and one is for far range. (Please don’t star with pk nerfs on this).
    Second, a huge contradiction to your second point is basically Fortnite. I am not a big fan of it, but it is a competitive game that revolves around luck and rng while simultaneously having a weapon tier system. The regular pistol isn’t good and would probably lose to most other weapons in a fight.
