everything broken and wrong with apex's character abilities

NOTICE: im not subbed to replies on here this is just to raise awareness for how broken these chars are at the moment and what needs to be done about them completely objective n straight from the game plz and thank you and yes this is posted on reddit as well

 

Mirage is up 1st

: decoys are dum asf and almost useless asf they have almost little to no use especially when sending them in a direction with objects on the ground let alone in the way because they'll either A. fall n go poof B. they'll just stand there like a dum * or C. defy physics by running in place like a dum * (which i might admit maybe a good decoy trick via acting like you're a stupid AI that has no coordination in it's programming) even cod's RC cars are better

 

: passive is wack as * solely because HE'S LITERALLY THE ONLY 1 in the game with a passive that only activates when he is downed and it's not even * good yea the decoys deployed around him is a nice trick but the mere fact that you FLICKER WHITE doesn't help now if this was destiny's version of cloaking where you mimic your surroundings with a reflective cloak like the fallen then we may have a contender but even if his * did that it's STILL USELESS cause it's not ACTIVE WHILE NOT DOWNED

 

: ultimate is basically the same as his passive expect you get to actually be alive while cloaked the only problem is he can't ride * ziplines while cloaked which is dum asf because you can interact with a zipline if you're already riding a zipline which is double dum asf

 

Wraith is 2nd

: into the void is beautiful on paper but poorly executed in game you lose the ability to actually see where dafuq your enemies are/you lose the ability to open doors/and most of all you also can't ride a * zipline unless you activate the ability whilst on a * zipline already * like having one char. that did that * wasn't enough

 

: passive is REALLY GOOD ON * PAPER but also poorly executed in game the only thing it's good for is snipers/caustic's gas trap's the * literally only tells you an enemy is in proxy if they're like dead * front an center like i * you not SHE WILL LITERALLY NOT TELL YOU JACK * until you are already getting your * beat down instead of being like oh yea there's enemies in the vicinity watch out/oh yea there's an enemy within 10m of you or some * like that ANYTHING that helps me be aware of my surroundings without actually having to look at somebody being in * front of me

 

: ultimate oh you thought i was done with that zipline * naw my * i'll admit she can see and tell where her enemies are and she gets a nice speed boost too but unless you activate the little * on the zipline it's no Bueno papi also this is a battle * royale with a death wall constantly squeezing everybody tighter and tighter YES! her portal ability is good but it's not really helpful for you or teammates because why would you run DEAD * IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE with a BLUE * TRAIL FOLLOWING YOU to place a portal when you could've shot the portal across the map without giving away where you truly are like there's no reason you have a * robot shooting a zipline across the map and in your face but you dont give the char. who literally can place PORTALS the ability to choose whether she wants to A. run to said location herself B. choose location from a distance or C. be exactly like pathfinder walk up there yourself then decide where your location should be for an even more strategic placing especially in desperate situations (oh and before you try to call this * op shooting portals in the sky is not a valid location considering there's no ceiling only walls/objects/ceilings/and or the ground)

 

Octane is 3rd

: passive is nice and all but it's * if it can't keep up with the amount of hp taken remember this is a BATTLE ROYALE shooter the speeding around is awesome but there's no point in having a self heal passive when the skill takes more than the passive can heal that's not good and that's DEFINITELY not how life steal chars. work if you're going to steal hp from yourself to perform abilities then your passive or whatever the fk you wanna call it MUST BE EQUAL to the amount being TAKEN OR ELSE YOUR GONNA DIE which in simple form THERE'S NO POINT in giving your char. a 1 off ability like stealing life from yourself to perform special abilities if you have zero support for yourself do you even KNOW how long it takes to regenerate hp with octane that's righttttt i don't either because it's just better to abuse my ability and let the health packs do the talking cause my self heal is so trash not even wolverine or deadpool is willing to hit that *

 

: speed boosting is great all around expect for the fact that he keeps getting glitched if you're not running with your weapon in hand not allowing him to pickup or bring his weapon out to shoot an enemy you can tell he's glitched by his right hand not being held up since he's right handed and always holds his right hand up when running without a weapon in his hand

 

: ultimate is great all around expect for a glitch that prevents you from jumping away if you jumped in the middle of being catapulted away and i also believe but not quite sure when being shot simultaneously this has happened a few times but i don't know if it's legit legit

 

Pathfinder is 4th

: grapple hook's range is so * that * have to hack the game just to be able to shoot the * like an actual grapple hook and that's literally all that's wrong with him

 

Bangalore is 5th

: Ultimate takes too long to detonate/has self damage in a BATTLE * ROYALE WITH A DEATH WALL/puts you and your teammates under status effects like they're an enemy endangering they're lives and yours in a BATTLE ROYALE and that's pretty much the only thing * about her

 

Caustic is 6th

: traps are good but have no ability that allows them to be used on the go without stationary hindrance cause you know GIANT * DEATH WALL CLOSING IN restricting location positioning battle royale ontop of that i think it's self-explanatory

 

Gibraltar is 7th

: Shield dome is beautiful but suffers from the same * problem caustic has you don't have any choice but to use it as a stationary skill in a * GAME THAT'S ALLL ABOUT MOVING/READJUSTING CURRENT LOCATION with MR. AND MRS. DEATH WALL ALWAYS BEATEN THAT *

 

: ultimate is very useful but suffers from the same problem as bangalore self explanatory my *

  • A bit sick of people wanting things to work 100% in their favor. I agree with you on Mirage and on not being able to use abilities on zip lines but that's all. Gib, Caustic, and Bangalore have abilities that can dramatically change a fight so its only fair if there are drawbacks. Hassling your team with your own abilities only happens when you have poor team work so that team deserves whatever they get.

    1. you dont have any choice BUT 2 AGREE WITH ME you 4get dis is a battle royale there being ANY self damaging skills at all let alone effects being applied to teammates r trash i put this up here for a REASON every character excluding bloodwinter/Ajay are broken they're trash their abilities are good on paper but in game they r half@ss bottom line period you can think whatever you want but what you not gonna do is make excuses for sh7 that is ALREADY PROVEN VIA pure gameplay exp. these are factual points about these characters you're not getting around them and nobody else is either until this sht gets fixed its a Battle royale and none of these abilities are in any condition for a battle royale setting because they're half@ss just like the rest of the game
  • oh and i think i explicitly stated at the very beginning of my post that these r purely objective points about these characters
