Game is incredibly stale

apex legends is just not fun, the whole process feels like a means to keep me engaged with the lowest effort possible

all of the heroes are not fun to play and not fun to play against, theyre not charming theyre not funny, theyre not attractive. the models are absolutely hideous. I dont feel inclined to spend any money on these dumb awful characters that i dislike. theyre obnoxious people i would never enjoy talking to or being around. 

about 5 of them are actually viable, and by that i mean just low effort stomping pathfinder, wraith ect. other characters just feel like a half thought out joke. you could call them a 1 trick pony if they even had a trick to pull of. 

the loot in the game is too f---ing random. idk how many moz' and p2020's im going to pass by before i find a slightly worse gun. why not just balance all the guns and have an equal distribution? and Kings canyon loot, where is it?

half the time while dropping other teams are STRAIGHT UP invisible, most times when you land your character is unresponsive and people who CLEARLY land after you are opening doors and looting before you can perform a single action. most of these hot drop "epic" engagements result in a scrable of punching and throwing grenades at doors.

characters being slowed on hit SOUNDS reasonable on paper. but in reality it stops you from sliding and stops you from sprinting , so not only are you slowed you also move slower than base movespeed (im assuming) and you cant even slide down a 30 degree slope you just sit there crouching because some stray bullet just happened to peg you for a WHOPPING 7 damage.

non-universal hitboxes. just why honestly why. 

cant pickup certain items. if i have a lvl 3 bolt and i want to carry a lvl 2 bolt for whatever reason WHY CANT I. let my manage my own goddamn inventory

no option to increase player microphone levels. i dont know who at EA or respawn is in charge of testing the client but clearly youre all in discord or skype or ventrilo or AIM and havent realized theres no F----ING option to increase incoming voice chat volume i have all other sounds at 3% and i STILL can barely hear people. 

inconsistent pings - the ping system is great only, when it actually works. characters have COMPLETELY different responses for VERY different things.  "im going over here" and "whats over there" are NOT the same thing. why why why why WHY would you make pings and information vary so much. why do i have to PING which hop-up i need multiple lines before my character says "choke" why is there no way to get your teammates attention realiably without spamming enemy pings. even if theres no enemies around. great idea making revenant a complete d-ck head in his pings. im sure you thought it was quite clever but honestly it seems really really unnecessary.

no  hold to fire option in the settings, why. whats the point of this. some guns fire while holding others dont. why have this inconsistency??? why when i pickup a gun do i have to check which one it is when im being punched to death on spawn. and i hold the trigger without EVER firing the gun. i want to fire this weapon AS SOON as my character picks it up. i want to fire this weapon AS soon as its ready to fire again (burst) 

guns forcing shotgun animations when you are in a fight, this is cool if no one is around and you just pickup this badboy but why under certain conditions is it that i am FORCED in a POINTLESS animation when im engaging enemies. 

rats - players hiding in buildings/in small hidden areas to gain placement points. there needs to be a negative penalty for not taking actions. if there are players in your area and you are not taking actions then you should lose placement points . you shouldnt be rewarded FOR DOING NOTHING

lastly , every action in the game is designed to ALERT everyone nearby of your EXACT position, not counting bubble shields, and air strikes. literally every action in this game provides a visual/audio queue for players hundreds of meters away to know right where you are. lifelines ultimate is unusable most times and at the very least will get you 3rd/4th partied in some situations. gun shots can be heard from extremely long ranges and just rings the dinnerbell for existing teams to come in for a flank ITS NOT FUN TO 3rd PARTY but YOU HAVE TO DO IT. 

this ones new but everytime i finish i ranked game i have to change my selection back to ranked from TRIOs unranked. grats to whoever managed to mess this up. 

losing is frustrating & winning is completely unrewarding for 3rd partying your way to the top or killing off a team that just finished engaging another team.

ive never played any other battle royales, only this. im not sure if this way of making a completely frustrating experience is on purpose or what. you will never get a DIME from me for as long as you continue to have your game in this boring state.

    @InvisibleOnionJust from reading the first few paragraphs, it sounds like you don't like the game at all. If so, why do you play it? There are other options you know...

    If the entire game is boring, why are you playing it?

    You don't have to spend money on the characters. Plus, you don't have to like them either. I also highly doubt that anyone would want to talk to an insane robot or deranged scientist, the point is that they're fictional characters. This isn't a bestselling novel.

    Most characters are viable. I'm sorry, but this is a git gud moment. If you're good, you can beat other characters. Just keep in mind that you may have to use a different strategy.

    They buffed King's Canyon loot recently, plus if you literally look in more than a few supply bins, chances are you'll find better stuff.

    If the other teams who drop are invisible, this can mean three things. 1. You simply aren't rendering them. 2. You just aren't watching closely enough. 3. It's a mirage decoy, which will disappear upon landing. Also, if people who are landing after you are able to get stuff faster than you, that's just on you. You have to be faster then. You also don't have to go to a hot drop. What did you expect? For everyone to get the same stuff and then have a "fair" fight?

    Getting shot doesn't stop your slide. Plus, some characters are immune or have abilities that offset this.

    It's because it has different characters. Kind of like Overwatch. Each character has their pros and c.ons, just get used to it. (c.o.n.s. is apparently censored. I think it may be a bad word in French)

    You can pick up weaker loot, on ps4 it's triangle. You might have to swap it out for something though if your inventory is full.

    I'm fairly certain there is an option to increase volume, just look for it in settings.

    The ping system is good. This sounds more like your teammates are bad. Also, the character lines are different, my suggestion is that you don't follow what the character says and just try to understand the ping itself. (Usually, a regular ping just means I think we should go there. If you hold down ping button there is also more options) You don't have to ping hop-up multiple times, it will say in the chat what hop-up you need.

    The gun problem. This is literally how guns work in like every game. Some are full-auto, some are semi-auto, some are bolt-action. This is a basic skill, and this is truly, simply, just get good.

    I'm not exactly sure what animation you mean. There's an inspect animation, which can be annoying, but should rarely ever be the deciding factor. The reload animations and animations in between shots are basically essential.

    Camping is literally a part of ever battle royale. Deal with it. It's strategy. There are also characters who are better equipped to deal with campers. Bloodhound has a big scan radius, or Wraith who can basically turn invincible for a short period of time.

    Well, yeah there are going to be audio cues and visual effects for abilities. Do you think that every ability should be completely silent and so nobody can know what's going on? Also, yeah some abilities are really noticeable, but others aren't. Most normal abilities aren't that noticeable from range, (at least audio-wise. You can probably just see the ability taking effect if you looked).

    The ranked thing is a bug and is supposed to be fixed at some point.

    Well, yeah, losing isn't enjoyable. Did you think it would be? Winning is pretty rewarding. It sounds like you are still at a low skill area, so third partying is your best bet, but if you get better you won't have to third party so much.

    If this is your experience, I'd recommend doing other battle royales. You don't seem to have the necessary basic knowledge of battle royales, and it doesn't sound like you have many games to choose from. Apex is also a free game, so it really isn't required (at all) for you to spend even so much as a penny.

    Since you've never done other battle royales, I'd recommend doing Fortnite or pubg to get better.

    Could you also share what rank you are in? That'd be helpful to know.

    @InvisibleOnion Well, that part isn't true. I do have a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about, actually a really good idea.

    Anyway, how much of that was real?
    And what rank are you?

    @InvisibleOnion Ah, but that's where you're wrong buckaroo

    Tbh, probably, as I stopped playing for a while after the ranked reset. I only returned like Tuesday, and I haven't done any ranked yet.

    @InvisibleOnion But seriously, a lot of your points are stupid and I can't tell if you're joking. Many seem like git gud things, and also some basic knowledge.
