Combat System.

The combat system has changed drastically in season 24, but not for the better. I feel like my teammates end up dying and leaving or the game just feels less team oriented as we all die faster due to the buffs in weapons and other changes. I am actually not half-bad at Apex Legends, I like playing alone. But I feel like now I can’t even get a single knock. The game straight up doesn’t feel as satisfying anymore. Back in other seasons, fighting another squad toke effort, skill, strategy, and a bit of luck, but now I feel like even when I end a squad, it happened so fast, I didn’t feel very rewarded. Lastly, if you falter, you die. Turn your back, you die. One single mistake and you’re finished, most of the game is spent loading in your own match. If you’re looting, and if your enemy is behind you, you are dead. Even, when I play in trios with randoms, I feel like it just isn’t as fun. Even with my friend, my and I play duos, it honestly doesn’t feel fun anymore. Plain. Boring. Frustrating. I genuinely hope they change the combat system back to how it was. The game doesn’t feel the same. It feels like I’m playing a completely different game from what I did yesterday, I can’t even finish anybody without getting killed, you can’t even escape fire, even from afar, and that’s saying something.

    Hmm, I have thee exact opposite feeling. I've been playing since beta - religiously. It was the longer TTK which kept the game more team orientated. Because battles lasted longer, you needed to work together as a unit to come out of them alive. Now with this TTK, team dynamics is pointless and doesn't require you to work as a unit to survive. 

    Press the button and watch your combatant die instantly. Why would you need teamwork for this? If anything I have found teammates are now competing with each other to get the kill first or steal the kill, because again... whom ever shoots first knocks first. 

    I can't even begin to understand your reasoning behind why you feel it promotes MORE team play?

    Not really, if you are good at the game, you can win 1v2. Yes, I do know that 1v3 is extremely hard to win against but you do have a chance. You are probably aren’t as skilled as some. I’m just saying. I wasn’t here to show how I can 1v3 someone, it was an example, I truly just wanted to show how many end up dying too quickly. I could be looting a box for a second, and next I know I’m dead.

    "1v2 and 1v3 fights should always always always end in the solo person losing the fight!"

    If there was ever a time when they didn't then that's down to bad matchmaking, not to a ttk that's too long or any other kind of combat system miscalculation that's gone on now for over five years. IMO.

    I have played a fair bit since season 2, I just have not enjoyed myself all that much!

    Not if you are good enough, if you can sole 1v3 that’s great I can’t but if he can that’s great, just because you haven’t played since season 2, and you just like it because now you can finally be good doesn’t mean it makes it fun, and I am not trying to be mean

    Yeah, but genuinely I can solo trio matches. This new season is making it harder since people end up doing more damage and that means you can’t hide and shoot them from another angle.

  • This game has not been the lease bit team oriented since season 2........With the long TTK, Evo Shields, and guns that shoot wet noodles teamwork was not really needed. The faster TTK puts teamwork, aim, positioning, and planning to the forefront of the game and it is DEFINITLEY what the game needs. 1v2 and 1v3 fights should always always always end in the solo person losing the fight!
