In May, 2021, I posted this:

That got pretty much ignored, so in July 2021:

From what I've observed, they rather release reskins and event items, rather than fix some of the issues. Then when they do go and fix an issue, its one of the things that aren't even "game breaking" or a problem.

They said they fixed audio countless of times, but its still broken in one way or another.

Hey look it's me!
And yeah audio is still completely busted. Octane still makes no noise while jumping. Constant audio bugs. Inconsistent footstep sounds. I could make a whole grocery list of terrible audio. The devs just don't care.

  @Kateh8sapex Oh hey, look, it is you!
  
  Yeah, footsteps are very inconsistant. Sometimes it sounds like someone is there, but there isn't anyone, other times it there's no sound and then its a full squad.
  
  You can hear the trident from 3 named map locations away, you can hear gunfire 200+ meters away, and it doesn't make much sense.

    When it comes to audio very rarely do I ever have issues with it in terms of hearing things. Not sure if it is people's headsets (I am sure a lot will spout out I paid 200+ for mine they are good) I would have to disagree. You paid for a logo not quality IMO. I use the HyperX Cloud headphones and I am able to hear when people are coming from a distance hear people looting below and above or beside. Friends often ask if I have wall hacks because I hear people in buildings they can not. They bragged I paid 200+ for mine one of the best on the market. All I can ask them is why can't you hear then? =P Not at all saying people's headphones are bad or anything or not what they paid for im saying the quality between them is what makes the difference. My friends who recently swapped to Hyperx can now hear things like I did.
