SEASON 26 and What I already hate :)

i don't know what was to point to "Buff" Caustic in the next season   if they make Bangalore  unstoppable  ... u spend 30 sec to set up your  traps  anywhere  and bangalore just wipe them out with 1 smoke...  the other thing we not gonna see **bleep**  in the fights  coz the smoke

Imagine a legend like Catalyst... She wastes time to "FoRtiFy" a door -> bang smoke -> destroys door and spike trap =😁😂🤣

The fact that they haven't announced it was a mistake to have that talent for the tactical, intended only for testing,  is worrying for the future of this game. It's like they accepted a challenge to make something more broken than the double dash/assault Ash.

Season 26 Is Killing Apex: Broken Audio, No Duos, and Bad Changes

Lots of people seem rather annoyed by Season 26, I do too. Instead of focusing on things people have talked about, saying things that are clearly real problems, they went and screwed with the entire way Apex Legends works. Things that I personally dislike about the new changes include sound changes where I can’t tell where enemies are even when using optimized audio settings on $300 7.1 spatial audio headphones. Removing Duos mode was expected but what were you thinking? Wildcard trios is childish and dumb. Let me pick one friend to play with so I don’t have to pair with some random third player who loots poorly and calls us trash after dying. They completely ignored real issues with Mythics. People have been complaining about the rarity of Mythic shards, and they haven’t fixed it or made them less rare. Now Mythic weapons cost lots of shards, which means no normal player will want to grind that hard without reward. Regarding the audio problem, what did you think was cool about making it sound like teammates are whispering right next to your ear? I don’t care about light ammo notifications when I’m getting shot at and can’t hear where enemies are. I can’t even hear footsteps behind me or tell where gunshots come from. Pings are mostly silent now, and I can’t turn off dialogue because some things are important and missing them could cost the game. I propose you add a voting system in-game where people can post ideas they want to add and if there are enough upvotes, try it out, get feedback, and keep it if it’s popular. Otherwise, remove it. People can also vote to remove disliked features. This would give the player base more control and prevent changes like “Respawn added weird, immersion-breaking audio rework, removed Duos, and shoved in a goofy power-up mode no one asked for,” and players saying “Why?” while Respawn says “Trust the process.” Or things like “Do you want Duos back next week?”, “Should Wildcard mode stay in rotation?”, and “Did the audio changes improve your experience?” This would generally lead to a better overall game experience. Players aren’t happy with your changes — please listen. You can still make money on cosmetics and listen to the community about what really matters. For context, here is my entire conversation with ChatGPT about these issues summarized: Season 26 removed Duos and replaced it with Wildcard trios, which players hate. Audio changes broke directional audio, footsteps, and made it hard to locate enemies even with expensive headphones. New character dialogue audio makes teammates sound like they’re right next to you, drowning out real cues. Pings are silent or confusing. Players want a voting system to influence game updates. Respawn focuses too much on cosmetics and less on core gameplay and community feedback. I hope you seriously consider this feedback.

I've been an avid player every season but this new one is just horrible why did they make these changes no one wanted this please return the game to its former state this is just bad

I've been playing the game since release. I've been in every season. I've always enjoyed it. No matter how bad it was, it was always fun, but this Season 26 is terrible. I've deleted the game now. I can't decide where I want to jump off anymore. You have certain power-ups, so what's the point of looting ammo or batteries? A Legend who can disable any ability. That's taken the fun out of the game for me.

It's exactly what we feared.  These games are like playing in a Cheech and Chong sesh.  

I just played a game where the smoke hit the wall of the building OUTSIDE, and destroyed my Wattson pylon and all our traps.  We had one season where control legends were viable and now they're unusable again..

Personally, these would of been better:

• Smoke makes enemies visible, (even when you are outside of it)
• Smoke silences enemies' abilities, (like Revenant's old tactical / Seer's current tactical)
• Smoke causes poison damage to enemies
• Reviving in smoke is faster, (like a support revive)
  
  

Not:

• Bangalore is now a one man army, good luck!

I’ll give you my 2cents. To start off this is one of the worst season besides the The New WILDCARD mode. It offers a chance for players like me that like to fight and push to have fun and still keep their team in the game I like that. what I don’t like is the ranked in trios update it’s like the settings I’ve been using for the last two seasons that have helped me immensely all of a sudden became garbage that’s ridiculous.As  if the devs find the best settings for the season and then they switch what’s better on you on the next season and they’ll go that route until players pick up on it. And what I mean it is it’ll become void to the gameplay not to the player skills. Almost like I picked up the a game as a noob again. So so that being said with all the buffs  and nerfs none of the players I use hold any value except for mad Maggie because you just can’t defeat her unless you NErf her which you will soon. You’ve killed Ballistic and the new Rank Specific Waypoint Dropzone is the worst thing ever. It’s time for the campers to come back out. I’ve been playing for a year and love this game, if it wasn’t for Wildcard this season I would deleted and sold my PlayStation to the local 711 bum….

Duos wasn't removed
