Just Scratch Season 26 and Upload Season 25 ASAP

DEVS, you got to read the room on this feedback from the community.  It's a fat L.  I know the intensions were good for NEW and ACTION.  But what are we actually doing here???

There's no logic to this Bangalore Smoke destroying traps.  I played a game, and not only did the Bang Smoke destroy my Wattson Pylon (supposed to be intercepted).   But the smoke hit the building wall OUTSIDE.  No window, didn't go through a door.  It hit the wall OUTSIDE and destroyed not only the traps buy my Wattson Pylon.  THAT MAKES ZERO SENSE!!!!  This ability was poorly thought of and even worse poorly programmed.

Buffing Bangalore's double time was never asked for.  Why did you do that?  It's like trying to shoot Flash (impossible).  Delete that.

The amplifiers or AMPS, it's obliviously implemented to "Balance Legends" and its lazy.  To put it simply.  Instead of analyzing which legends need to be nerfed and buffed and restructured, you supplied loot perks.. You're eliminating strategy.  When I fight Support/Control/Skirmish/Assault/and Recon legends, their abilities  tell me how to engage.  You giving amplifiers allowing them infinite ammo, ultimate and tactical speed ups, health regeneration.....How can I possibly know that while fighting them....You can't.  Fighting from a distance is no longer recommended.  You risk too much with a push with a long range weapon.  By the time you get there, team is healed and reset, knocking you or your teammates.

The notifications for running and jumping was so stupid.  You recently ended that and it needs to stay that way.  Absolutely useless.  ALSO it tells me, when you guys realize you dropped the ball, you do give it your attention.  SO let's read the room, and delete these updates.  Cause it's really bad.  Like really really really bad.

I usually play like all night when a new season drops.  Im very passionate about this game, and I'm just a casual player.  When the game dropped in 2019 I never played Fortnite or COD again.  This new season I stopped playing after two games....Its bad.  Again there's no logic or strategy to it.  Ive said it in previous post and I'll say it again.  Delete Control Legends.  You obviously don't want them in the game. Like we already lack movement and now you give a legend a complete counter.  I'd like to shoot my guns too and not have to retrap every second.  Snare Smoke Snare Nades Rev Leap.  Back to Lobby.

 

Worst Regards to Everyone at EA for this Complete Failure of a Season Update

  • I completely agree with your points about Bangalore and the Amps.

    Regarding the footstep audio, I think it's likely a technical issue that's difficult to fix. If they can't get the audio right, they should explore other methods, like a visual indicator, instead of abandoning the idea.

    However, I have a different opinion about the Control class characters. They are unique and strategically rich. It's not their fault; it's simply that the developers haven't figured out how to utilize them effectively. The blame shouldn't fall on them.

    Fascinating take.

    at least apex legends is still apex legends.

    halo is more CoD than halo.

  • I agree with this 100%. Yes yes yes👏👏👏

    Been playing Apex and only Apex for 6 years. And I have never felt as little joy with it as I do now.

    If you offered me Apex, years 2-4, at $20 a month, I would lock in that deal faster than Octane stim stick in a cheetah. And the people who made that game, must have been literally amazing. 

    What has Apex lost this last 1-2 years? Balance.

    Important criticism: making everything overpowered does not make a competitive game balanced. And if a competitive game can't be balanced it becomes a joke. 

    My advice, my desire, trim the fat, make Apex lean again. Get rid of all the unnecessary and bad additions to the game.

    Power ups? No. Cross class abilities? Absolutely not. Leveling tree? Arguably how things started going wrong. Seasons/events that made 20bomb, 4k, and Master badges all completely obsolete? Us fans worked so so hard to get those. Fire and blacklist whomever allowed that to happen.

    Players should be able to see a character, hear their weapons, and thus know EXACTLY what they are up against. And their badges should be affirmation, not a joke.

    Did the decision makers change pre Season 17?  What even happened! People who couldn't pass Plat got Masters badges!?

    And what cruel person with a support fettish thought to make support class so strong that not using them ment giving up winning all together?! Why doesnt Mirage fly? he literally does everything else. 

    And this ranked spawning in fixed zones? If I had been training 6 months for a tournament with crazy money on the line then sure. But it's not the case, and that change sucks the fun out of the 1st 10-15 minutes of gameplay, as I cannot land in my favorite zones, nor plan how I want to approach the match, nor explore. It's just a buzz kill. 

    Then I get pounced on by a team where every other person can double dash, jump insane distances, instantly rez their teammates. 

    It's awful, it's all awful.  But more than that is sad, because Apex was a great game that has been so poorly cared for that I don't believe it will ever recover. Like watching some famous actor implode their career.

    ... I suppose this is what happens when you make additions to a game every few months, that eventually you brake something that was perfect.

    As a fellow Wattson main, I hardly play as her this season because of Bangelore. It makes her pointless to use when her pylon doesn’t even intercept the smokes. This season is the absolute worst and I’ve never thought that of other seasons. Forced POIs in ranked? Not a fan. Daytime in E-District? Also not a fan, but that’s a whole other thing.  

  • I've played a little more now, regular trios as well as Wildtard (I'm sure I'm not the first to call it that, but I haven't seen anyone else use the expression so I'm gonna take the credit). The good news: tripletake is back. The bad news: only in Wildtard. Of which I will only say that's it's a double down on everything I hate about shooters and a slap in the face to people who really love the battle royale game type. I'm glad if there are people who are loving it, but I despise every single thing about it. And the worst thing of all is that, like all LTMs, it siphons off enough players that trios is now (again) forced to assemble matches where the skill bracket is fully two-thirds of the curve. I knew it would happen this way. I'm absolutely certain that Respawn knew it would happen this way. Thing is, not sure they care anymore after six years. Heck, do I? Really? Does anyone?

  • I'm struggling to think of one single solitary s26 change that doesn't make me want to just turn off the xbox and watch bad YouTube videos. Depressing.
