Knockout Feedback
Its an interesting mode and it just feels like Battle Royal with objectives. Overview: 1) The zones are very hard to identify on the map and in general. 2) The zones appear too early, which ca...

Here's my Knockout feedback:
Respawn, please stop making new game types that are built to encourage, or even force, early-game engagement. Do the children who play this game really need to be rewarded for doing the impetuous and ill-considered things that lead to ultimate failure - things they were already going to do no matter what? Revival, Straight Shot, Three Strikes, all built to remove any penalty associated with a lack of patience, all built to reward the short-of-attention-span. Every single one is like an admission that there is some fundamental flaw with the basic Battle Royale format. And there is. IF you prefer Call of Duty team deathmatch. And if people DO prefer CoD TDM then let them go PLAY Cod TDM. And then you can start using your creativity to come up with game variants that will help your players learn and get better at BR instead of indulging their worst instincts. Rant over.

Knock off "Knock out" it´s the usual fail ! Any better ideas ? Comon !!
Apex is supposed to be a BATTLE ROYAL - stop trying to destroy everything that a BR brings to the table. There is a reason I want to play a BR over say COD, TDM, et cetera. Because I want something different than that. I want the BR experience. You guys keep feeding the new generations short attention span. What about us that didn't grow up with our faces glued to a cell phone swiping every 3 seconds?
I say ask this every time... do you guys even play your own game?
@whatsthefakk The mode would of been better with a smaller ring, (like bot royal), and if it was 15 VS 15 players, (maybe more).
After a round, it would knock out the bottom few from both teams, making it a 12 VS 12, (or something like that). Then when its a 3v3, both teams get spawned apart, (like how it was in Arenas), for sudden death.
The mode wouldn't be a Battle Royal, but rather a version of Arenas. That also would of been a way to revive arenas where they could then bring back the original version of arenas for those who actually enjoyed it.
Also, instead of it simply being a Team Rumble, (like Fortnite), the capture points could spawn around the map and the overall goal wouldn't be to reach a kill goal, but rather to avoid being knocked out. There also could of been twists on the rounds where you could only punch other players, use one gun, etc. and the idea would be to outplay other players to stay in the game.
When they announced Knockout, I thought it was going to be Lockout on a larger map with more teams, not a Battle Royal with objectives. In the end, at least we got something for a mode. I wonder if they would ever have a return of other modes, like Dummie's Big Day, Armed and Dangerous, (with Mozams nerfed), etc.
