General Changes/Suggestions that I believe may improve quality of life for Apex

These are some changes that have been bugging me personally. They are small enough to add, and I believe they may improve the quality of life for Apex Legends. I am open to any feedback 🙂

1.) You should be able to see when allied teammates have their ultimates ready. I believe this will help teams when deciding whether they should engage in a teamfight or not. Perhaps a dedicated "Quip" that allows a legend to verbally state when their ultimate is ready, or even an icon next to their health bars.

2.) When looting from a deathbox, a value should appear next to consumables (such as health, shields and ammo) that shows how many of the item you already have in your inventory. This will help for quick looting and easy inventory management, as there are times where you waste time after looting to rearrange your inventory since you looted too many/too little of a particular consumable. This feature can also be incorporated into looting from the ground.

3.) Looting should be done per stack/per half stack. Why, when I click on syringes/shield cells, do I sometimes get 1 too many/1 too little to complete a stack. Wasted time trying to sort out inventory space later.

4.) You should be able to toggle your own voice comms off, while keeping allies voice on. The "Enable Voice Chat" feature disables ALL voice chat. There are times where I do not want to talk, but I still want to here my allies. I cannot mute myself without muting allies. 


5.) There should be a way to ping a certain category of gun you are looking for. For instance, you could request a shotgun/sniper (similar to how you can ping for health, shields or ammo). I will admit that having very specific gun ping, such as pinging specifically for an R99, would be impractical, as the ping menu would be overloaded. Sometimes I have parts for a specific gun type, but I can never let my team know that I am looking for that gun type.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this, I hope these changes are worthy of adding to the game.

    1-Only needed when teammates aren't communicating with each other.

    2-Good but can make looting a little bit complicated, A good player will know what is in their inventory and what they need anyway.

    3-Not really needed.

    4-Just mute your mic?

    5-Good but again it's only needed when you don't communicate with teammates.

    I guess, but these are changes that I thought of that would make the experience easier for any player, new or experienced. The first two are particularly needed, espescially for newer players. There will be games where your entire team is not on voice comms, so why should they not be able to communicate in some other way when there ultimates are ready? The looting changes are aimed to streamline the looting process to make the game more fun, since you are focusing less on thinking what you have in your inventory, and on inventory management. Now you can focus more on getting ready faster for the next fight. After all, we don't queue up for an Apex game to spend unnecessary time in the inventory menu. The rest of the points are not a big concern, but would would be nice to see eventually. Points 1.) and 2.) and needed, and they are small enough that they will not hinder the player experience, and only enhance it.
