You have officially turned apex into snooze fest. TTK is soo low that the matches are very short long runs to even find people. I knew i had no life already with games played but not you have doubled them. This is double the matches for us who play 15 hours a day. Not that we find more matches it is just you have turned apex into pure snooze fest and boredom. Revert the changes so people can actually find people to fight. This is beyond boring.
Ttk is perfect, actually could get even lower. Now when you hit someone it matters, instead of the ridiculous water gun fights.
You should look for a game with respawning, that’s what it sounds like you want. Not a game in which skill and damage take you out if that bothers you. You should check out Halo if you can, it’s still pretty good.
What you say is all true. But that doesn't mean the game is less skillful.
If anything, sniper rifles SUCKED! And yeah, now the triple take is great, and it should be used by you for sure. All seasons have gun meta and energy guns are clearly meta this season (except the L star, go figure, but LMGs to me aren't that useful now unless you are running Rampart).
Skill is not, obviously, just hitting your target in the head with a bullet. It is positioning, fighting the fights to win, using strategy as the circle closes, blah blah blah you know. And frankly, with sniper rifles being okay (Charge, TTake, Longbow if you have skullpiercer...) thats definitely a more positioning, more field of view gun. What you need to do, I believe, is contend with snipers which you really never had to do before. And that means really being aware of how visible you are even if you don't see bad guys.
I say these things and sometimes people are like 'I know what you're talking about! I do that!' I'm not saying you don't. But I'm saying everyone needs to do way more of it. Personally, I like the meta, with the exception being at close range energy weapons are so good you don't even use shotguns anymore. The Volt is a little OP but the 301 both has longer range and is switchable from single fire to burst. Probably, sure a volt can outgun it at short range, but it can't compete at the mid to end of r301s spectrum. Which...is the way its supposed to be. Me, I still like the 301. But now, I'd rather carry a hemlock...availability willing, of course. And I still go for a 301 every now and then. (Hemlock needed a buff and got it)
So...I don't know, I'm just trying to help. I think the meta has shifted, and it is for the better. But it sure isn't the way it used to be. I think proper adjusting is only good, and again...only the shotguns now need a buff.
And Sentinal, because you still suck Sentinal!
@KelRieverI love it how everyone talks like a scientist when it comes to discussing these things lol.
I just pick up a gun and shoot. I dont care about recoil or ttk. But for some reason this season is * boring. All my teammates leave after they get downed.
Maybe its not s6 that's so boring but the overall game just is. Iv been playing sinds release and iv been lvl 500 for a looonggggg time now. Battlepass rewards suck. Quest rewards suck. And i dont even get apex packs anymore... winning a match does not reward. Killing multiple people has no reward. Even amazing teamwork had no reward. Its so monotonous.
I really hope s7 brings something bettter then the usual crap and some lvl changes.
actually TTK is probably higher then it was when apex got released if you just knew what this game used to be like. many guns experienced nerfs over the seasons and max shield limit is the same it was before evo was released... you are just too used into being bad player and not getting punished for your own mistakes when red evo allowed you to tank 5 mags and still run away from a situation where you deserved to die.
Most common call in professional games used to be "hes 10hp hes 10hp hes 10hp" is that enjoyable to watch them all get away when you reload especially with buffed resurrection on lifeline.
What comes to this game becoming more and more boring is direct result of wraith and pathfinder nerfs. they tried to prevent this agressive and strong playstyle of solos by nerfing them, instead of enforcing the most fun thing in this game by releasing more characters with similar cababilities.
they design bad and boring camp characters, when literally every game peoples love to play only hard carries.
Instead of helping solos by removing three stacks from same queue in ranked, they made it even worse for solos by nerfing these only fairly strong agressive characters. ttk helped this a bit but it wont change the fact that peoples get tired and bored of this game if they cannot play these pathfinders and wraiths whos abilities were some of the most enjoyable content this game ever offered, now gone.
Is it really game designers job only to determine that something is very strong and take it away from peoples who love it resulting in playerbase drops, instead of making goal to make everything else also fun when realising their games selling point. apex digs their own grave by removing their strong points that kept peoples still playing
