[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 ...
Forum Discussion
@Josh_2000_11 you are totally right, the majority of players are hating a lot of stuff, mainly because the devs never addressed the main issues like audio footsteps, sbmm, etc...and now after trying to change too many things around they created even more bugs and a lot of stuff (like lowering the hp and changing the shield style) is broken af. They simply put r99 into carepackage to give space to the volt, that's all but I see your point, where volt is basically an r99 with better recoil only with energy ammo haha (i like the weapon but i dont see its purpose either). As I previously said I will definetly gonna uninstall this game in the coming weeks <3

SBMM is always being addressed, always being tweaked, always improved. It will NEVER indefinitely go away. It feels unbelievably bad (data reflects this fact) when its off as when its off anyone can get matched with predators, and it was off for the first 2 days at LEAST when season 6 started (unsure if they have turned it back on) and I hate it with a passion when it's off. It is so insane to be outplayed by players that have fully mastered gun recoil AND headshot aiming with straffing, as its literally the experience of getting lazered and missing 2 bullets into a gunfight. Even more so with lower shield cap.
Audio footsteps, honestly no idea why this particular hasn't been addressed yet since it was working season 0 and suddenly it started being stupidly loud on team mates. But that's kinda a red herring in regards to why season 6 might be disliked, that's just a long standing why the hell hasn't this been addressed yet.
Bugs will always be possibly introduced, no matter what you do. That's the nature of video games, just report it, upvote it, rinse repeat. There's a bug with Octane's jump pad regarding super jumps and double jumps that is just driving me mad personally. Sometimes they just genuinely can't find what is wrong fast enough before it comes out or it just slips past them during development. Examples being bits of environment that somehow didn't get physically baked, like the fridge in worlds edge for a brief time.
If you think threatening to uninstall the game is magically going to solve problems tho ur kidding urself. If you genuinely aren't having fun with the game anymore then GG, sorry you feel that way. But if you are uninstalling just because you don't want to adapt to the new update / provide feedback on the attempts to change meta and gameplay? Then all I can say is bye. I'm personally in it for the long haul.

- @Monhulio i'm not threatening anyone, simply making a promise to myself. This forum is full of bug reporting and has also offered MANY solutions to problems. Sure as you said for example sbmm is bad, but I myself offered a pretty good solution to the ranking points system on how to reduce the frustration and punishment to losing while me being a solo queue plat getting destroyed by a full premade squad of preds. Others have offered similar and elaborated solution to all kinds of things, I'm not gonna go through this because it would be an extremely long comment. But how come as a player I see all these comments and threads and topics referencing bugs, problems, issues and also big solutions, etc and Respawn (who is paid for that) doesn't? I put a question previously to some other player on the forum, how come counterstrike 1.5 from 2002 has better audio than apex in 2020? It's not just season 6 being with NEW bugs (where as I said I reported many bugs already like survey becaon appearing on minimap but when you go there in person there isn't any, or when you die and spectate you go in between first and third person and the char looks like a nightmare, and many others) it's their consistency of doing stuff but not fixing the major ones, yet they release like what 1 or 2 legendary skins after 5 months and then boom 2 heirlooms too? it just shows as many players have smartly noticed, that they only care about our wallets. Just as PUBG did, they will die fading away by neglecting all these things. As I said, I'm not threatening with uninstall, I promise to uninstall, it is for myself, for my mental health. I advice others who feel frustrated and almost scammed to do the same, you quality of life will instantly improve 😉

Comparing a progressing game with limited dev team and various priorities to an 18 year old game that devs have had time to pin down bugs in code vs a year and a half life cycle of Apex, and might I add are the MAKERS of the very dev tool that respawn are using (tho respawns version is heavily modified) is a different thing.
Counterstrike has had years to pin down all those bugs and does not have a constant content flow of new stuff. And if it did, even then valve made Source, so they really do have the home-field advantage to knowing its quirks.
While various suggestions do pour in for match making, while you and others could think their suggestions are great or absolutely solve the solutions does it factually actually do that? Maybe the reason it wasn't implemented is because it doesn't or maybe the suggested change is so large it would take a large amount of time and resources to change how it works to accommodate such a change, therefor taking TIME. Change is not instant, and neither are updates.
The content flow doesn't just stop. It can't stop. The game is literally free to play and the only thing keeping it going are the MTX's. Yes there ARE going to be developers working on skins and heirlooms, but again those are NOT the people working on fixing bugs. It truly boggles my mind when people say "if they can make MTX's so much why can't they fix all the bugs?!". Different job. Different skill set. An artist that draws and animates the entirety of the heirloom along with skins has nothing to do with audio bugs or physics problems or lighting issues. Yes they freaking care about making money on a live service game that pays their salaries. But no the guy doing that can't go fix the freaking audio bugs. If they stopped making MTX's the game would stop period and you would lose the game anyways because unpaid people don't work in a corporate setting unless THEY are getting scammed.
The dev team assigned to bugs and fixing them needs to be increased for sure. Whether or not that will happen during a global pandemic, and whether or not the game quality will be as good as it should be during a global pandemic where they aren't working in office, that's up for debate.
If you feel you need to uninstall for health, fine hope you feel well. But please don't pin that on people trying to each do their respective jobs in their different fields of cosmetics VS audio VS whatever other categories where bugs exist. I have heard the argument time and again about that, and that's really not how it works. The game isn't likely to die soon, as they JUST got their own studio to work on the game, hopefully that means after the pandemic things will pickup.
Again as for the damn audio bug, nobody is debating that really should have been fixed season 1 when it was introduced when we literally had magnificent audio season 0. Counterstrike is a Grandpa with most of life figured out whereas Apex is a child still growing, cutting its knees, and getting scraps and bruises.@Monhulio A child you tell not to touch the stove while you're cooking because it's hot but they don't listen and burns themselves, then you say, run it under cold water but instead the child touches it again and burns their other hand. You ask why they didn't listen the first time as you go to get ice packs but come back to see they've shoved their face in the oven.
@MonhulioBut how does sbmm actually work??? It stand for skill bases match making right? So what it means is that people of silmilar skill get placed in a match right? Then how come me lvl 500 not that good not that bad player ( d3 ranked ) gets placed almost 75% of the time with 2 teamplayers below lvl 150 have absolute no idea what they are doin..... and the champion squad or the squad that kills us is ALWAYS a 20k badge 4000 damage badge 10k+ kills....... sooooo the "sbmm" thinks me and my amazing 2 teammates are on the same skill lvl as those basement dwelling sun avoiding predators???? Well im honored .. but this ruines my game...... yesterday i got in a team with a lvl 45 and a lvl 60.. they both had absolute noo idea what they where doin..... and the champion? A predator with over 35k kills!!!!! If you have over 30k kills then please look outside and see the real world please
- @Heli0sH00K SBMM is actually working quite well outside of one thing, premades. Premade squads can get placed quite wrongly but when you solo they try put skilled players with newbies so they can help them out, if the premades werent there it would work fairly well, or atleast I dont have that much beef with the system. I recently converted to PC so seen the transition from noob ranking to higher level ranking and its working supprisingly well in general, with some small hickups :D
