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.
