[Megathread] Season 6 Feedback
Hello everyone, i want to share my opinion after playing some games in Season 6. First of all i want to start with legends buffs/nerfs: Legends: I saw a topic in legend feedback section, there were ...

I think the new areas are great because they allow teams to hold areas and defend them. I hated the marathon simulator aspect of Apex when your team just sprints head first into any zone with no strategy and no tactics. The players who still want to go balls out nonstop push can do that but the new areas allow more strategy. Previously this map had too many wide open fields and now there are more structures and obstacles to fight on and around.
The engine feels different, like my settings were changed. The reaction curve is sharper now too.
New legend is interesting. They are all really chatty now, I’d like to be able to switch off the incidental patter. Ramparts turret Gun is fun. Something different, requires a different play style. I’ve melted a few with it, got rekt too. The defense wall shield she deploys are interesting, allowing barriers and fortifying positions.
I love using the tunnels now for battles. They provide more variety. Overall they have tried to change the meta on the game. Instead of “third party” nonstop, teams will engage in separate zones and you have more chance to heal and loot.
I love having environment that is interactive, raising the defense walls reminds me of the Titanfall maps where you could switch on a turret and defend it.
Thank you for reducing the choke point danger. The changes allow more playing freedom.
Still getting the hang of the new layout but lots to explore, enjoying how the gameplay has changed and looking forward to learning just what Hammond is up to with that rocket.
@Professor_Doggy With the new Rampart shields, it's possible to have a protracted battle with another team from a short distance. Everyone used to complain about getting sniped and not knowing where the shot came from. I actually like going zone to zone - the way the game is set up now in Season 6 - better than the never-ending sprint over the hills and shooting on the run.
I also like the interiors of the bigger buildings now. You can run around and fight without having a camping 3rd partier shoot you in the back from a ridge half a mile away. I think they have addressed a lot of the gameplay issues.
Things like cheaters and modified controllers and so on - welcome to the garbage. Not sure how everyone expects EA to solve a problem on their own that has plagued every game ever played online. I read on here about cheaters all the time but I don't think I ever encounter them in-game. Sometimes I lose 1v1 and sometimes I win 1v1, doing the same exact moves. I attribute that more to client-side calculations than server-side or cheats or modifications. Sometimes I'm playing someone far away and their data gets processed faster. Who cares. I win enough games to know it's not super widespread. If you are getting destroyed in S6, just give it a few days for the amphetamine players to get going up their ranked levels and leave the casual play for everyone else. It will calm down.
Until then: have a look around. Enjoy the new sites, the new legend, and the new weapons.
