General patch question/suggestion

Why was the self revive ever removed when a majority of the player base never wanted it removed? I know of people that took extended breaks from this game because of this move and they were big spend...

Self revive was removed as it made end games quite unfair.

There were cases where a player was able to 1v2 and down the other 2 players, though since one of those 2 had a self rez, they still survived and the single person died to the ring, resulting in players winning by pure luck in the endgames.

A lot of players that were in a high rank have indeed complained a lot, though this issue was also present in other ranks.

In my opinion, self rez doesn't really have a place in Apex and overall doesn't bring much to the table except in very specific scenarios and it just creates a luck-based win scenario in the final ring.

I haven't seen someone ask to get self rez back for a while, so from my perspective I don't think there is much demand from the playerbase overall.

I will agree that catering to higher ranks isn't a good strategy, as they should mostly cater to the average player.

Though I personally don't believe that this change was something based on only the opinion of higher ranked players.

I'd have to disagree. People still complain about it like once a month minimal in all the popular apex groups on fb/reddit etc. I made this account today just to ask this question because I saw a post with hundreds of replies with everyone talking about how they want self rez back and I agreed. I have even seen some streamers claim to want it back. Me and all of my friends who are masters every season and prior preds want it back. Rank/skill doesn't matter in this debate anyways, it's an opinion, and from my experience 90% of players I've met in the apex community enjoyed gold knockdown self rez, especially season 0 players. If the person 1v2ing could win the 1v2 then they wouldn't allow the self rez to go off in the first place. Plus by end game multiple people had them usually, especially if they were in the crafter. I miss those days and based on the countless polls/posts I've seen, im not alone. people always vote they want self rez back almost unanimously. Until today of course with your reply... there's one in every crowd i guess.
