Quality of life community requests

*URGENT*

- Fix our directional sound consistency please!

The competitive community has a gameplay experience in which often times the directional sounds (i.e. enemies running around you) are inaudible / ineffective.

(Some theorize that this has to do with how Apex compresses relative sounds when many sound sources are simultaneously active within the sound field)

- Fix matchmaking Algorithms please!

There is no reason why Masters / Pred should be matching up with & against brand new players, rookie, bronze, silver, golds, platinums....

ESPECIALLY in RANKED! This is destroying the experience for players on all ends. For both Ranked Arenas and Battle Royale this is happening.

Please simplify the system closer to what is used to be to make things more fair.

(Preds should only play against masters, and MAYBE diamonds less than 1% of the time)

Ranks should be playing against their own rank the VAST majority of the time.

(i.e. Diamonds vs Diamonds, and Plats vs Plats)

This KILLS the solo queue experience for those that want to rank up but receive teammates that are 3+ tiers beneath them in rank (i.e Plats getting matched with Rookies ~ Silvers against 3 stack current Preds.)

Please fix ranked Arenas AP gains. & Arena team solo queue experience

+12 to +20 is hell for all those diamonds trying to rank up to Masters, especially when Solo queueing in Diamond will pair you up with people that are brand new to the game (less than level 100) and people that are Unranked ~ Gold. This is unreasonable.

(Keep matchmaking organic. Diamonds with Diamonds VS Diamonds. Easy)

Not, Solo Diamonds, with rookie and silver VS 3 stack diamond / masters / red)

yes… please fox ranked arenas.

the experience solo queue is literally hell.

the game expects me as a diamond 4 player to consistently drop 4K+ dmg with bronze teammates on my team that are doing 400 dmg a game.

like… in what world do I need to drop 5K to win games?

it literally says in Ranked Arenas “compete against teams of a similar skill” , but why on earth would any game logic consistently pair me up with BRONZE teammates?

the gaming experience is really hurting for apex legends. Especially for solo players.

not to mention how hammerpoints and turbocharged energy weapons have become the toxic meta where players must abuse these guns to win.

these need heavy balancing
