New Seasons/Updates

So as most Apex Legends players have experienced, there's always some pretty obvious bugs when bigger sized updates release. I feel like that has killed quite a bit of the playerbase, along with the most obvious reason. My suggestion for the update would require a little more work/time, but it would fix the issue. When a new season is about to launch, Respawn should release a limited player "beta" of the update and let the gaming community, the people who keep the game relevant,  help discover bugs that are detrimental to the gameplay and also give feedback about the changes to legends and weapons.

      During the current season, they should let players who would like to give their input on changes sign up for a chance to be 1 out of 10,000 people who are able to download an early version of the new update like 2-3 weeks before it fully launches. There should be a dedicated beta test tab on the main menu so that players who are lucky enough to be a tester for the new season can chose to either play the season beta or play the current season, from start-up. Doing it that way would allow players to have the option of returning to the current season if they feel that the bugs or the update in general make the beta unplayable or shift the new meta in the wrong direction(like the hit-reg issue, the Wraith skin issue, the overdone Pathfinder nerf, the octane stim/heals bug, the no-one-asked-for Watson nerf, the double nerf on Wraith, and countless more).

      With such a system in place, it would give Respawn 2-3 extra weeks to fix the worst problems before the official release, since most bugs are usually noticed by the Apex player community within the first few hours. I mean the hit-reg issue? I think we all noticed it within 5 minutes of the first game. A lot of people who quit playing complained(and still say it to this day) that "Respawn doesn't care" because it takes so long for patches to be released. This would have kept those players. This would keep the players who've stuck it out thus far, but have almost reached their limit. It would give Respawn a chance to guage feedback on Legend nerfs/buffs. As above mentioned, Pathfinder obviously needed to be nerfed but it was too much. Should have been 25 or so for the grapple instead of 35.

      My last suggestion would be this...PLEASE stop making huge changes to legends that nobody asked for. I haven't met anyone who was saying that Watson's ult should be nerfed, or that Wraith's portal should be shortened(her phase was complained about though). Just listen to the communities feedback. You wanna make changes to shift the meta? That's fine, but if they are not well received by the majority of the players, swallow your pride and change it back. Don't try to fix what isn't broken. I honestly hope some of these suggestions are given thought because I really enjoy this game, but it has potential to be so much more.
