PLEASE fix the balance/loot distribution issues I beg you

There are a lot of game-breaking issues with the weapon-balance and yes I do understand that this is a BR title, but in the end of the day a game's success is always based on the drive players have t...

@Sir_Named nobody says make it equal and lets all have guns and armor. But lets say two squad jump in Slum Lake one goes to the right and the other one goes to the left. Right side have spawn zero armors, three biq, RE-45 and two P2020. Left side team have three blue armors, three havocs and two PK. So by disign you have a serius handycap situation where you only hope the other team is bad at aiming or you run to other zone and jumping on some other team. Therefore balancing the drop will make the calculating the drop like this: spawn atleast one white armor and atleast one S or A tier weapon for the other team to even get a some chance. Same thing goes for Skull town one side 6 PK and one side only attachments not even a weapon spawn. So this is no fight right but you wasted 6-7 min looting nothing and you go to other zone with nothing and you die again. Balancing the drop dont mean lets all have purple armor and PKs it mean at least to give a little bit chance for the team that lands there 10% chance of surviving and not thinking that lost 10 min of there life for looting attachments just to give them to someone that have guns. People play games for fun and sometimes to escape some unlucky situation IRL just to find themself caught in same situation in games. If I wanted to play roulette or slot machine Ill go to casino and play the damn thing and not play some online game for a substitute. I hope you understand this basic logic behind this common sense.

Thanks for that reply I find it difficult to get my point through sometimes :-P

What you state is so true and disturbingly real in Apex that one side of a hotzone like Skull town will have nothing of 'decency' when it relates to a gunfight ie: attachments everywhere but no 'decent' guns (not a mozambique or P2020) and the other side bashes out great armors and pk's and R99 which one side of the argument would say : It's the luck of the draw, but the other side would agree that fair and logical distribution of loot does not involve the above whereas if it was a real -life situation and the above happened match-fixing investigations will definitely be on the boards!

I understand that it is completely random but it is too unbalanced and hence points to a fault in the main loot distribution mechanic of the game!

It's like 2 teams playing a game of football and the one team's goal net is half the size of the others? But play goes on and it is seen as fair?????? Some things are ok to be left to chance, I get it, but some things should be fairly balanced as the ratio/chances of successfully (even) engaging in a gun fight slumps dramatically when the presence of only one gun in a 1v1 is the case??? And no I don't class the P2020 and Mozambique as guns they are annoying pests and need to be made extinct!!!!!!!!!

At the end of the day the true concept of gaming basically is this:

WE PLAY GAMES BECAUSE WE ENJOY THEM!!!??? GIVE GAMERS WHAT THEY WANT AND GAMERS WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT...... SIMPLE!!!

And as complex as that statement might be to practice, it boils down to playability, satisfaction and enjoyment.

If a game is difficult but fair it is ok to fail as that is the drive...to do better. It also then carries a ton of satisfaction winning moreso as long as the mechanics don't interfere/minipulate the playability and overall outcome to the extent that success ratios are vastly increased merely by luck...And winning a (same health) 1v1 against a peacekeeper in a small room tapping a P2020 (standard as usual🙂 is nothing but lucky...Whichever way you look at it (and yes that includes the pk wielder being a noob...you were then well...lucky :-p  This statement obviously has more grounds in ranked where higher tiers consist of...well no noobs, yet the weapon battle mentioned above still takes place due -to nothing but- poor loot mechanics :-p
