Season 26 has so much wrong with it!!!

I really hope respawn and EA look into all feedback the community leaves in the forums in general because there is just so much wrong with the changes! 

I only had time to player for about an hour and was a bit disappointed in the changes and i never really felt that way before. Always some change that i do not care for. Maybe my mind will change as i play more.

People who hate to drop hot will love the new ranked, but those who like to drop hot will probably not play ranked as much. Push comes to shove, dropping somewhere out of battle was not really an issue before so i feel letting people pick where to drop was a happen medium for all. I got this gut feeling that leveling up in ranked will take longer now with the delayed action. 
(I personally dont have time to rank up but i did use ranked as an escape to get out pred like sweaty pub lobbies i get stuck in halfway through the season and when i get sick of people leaving after they get dropped over and over.) 

I do like the change to the RE-45 but at the same time, gun was easy to use and good for noobs and game has limited pistols to begin with but making the P2020 Mythic and making the RE-45 harder to use for the average player was a mistake, now not really any good pistols for noobs. I know they did not want to add any guns but a pistol could have been added just for Energy! 

Ding Ding Ding Ding, please fix the dings. 

Bangalore is way to OP against Caustic! 

Every time we level up we need to watch an animation! Come on!! 

Matchmaking is still broken 

Please add to this list!! I will add more as i play and maybe retract something but i wanted to speak up right away. I thought last season was the worst state of Apex but this season takes the cake!

  • Been playing Apex and only Apex for 6 years. And I have never felt as little joy with it as I do now.

    If you offered me Apex, years 2-4, at $20 a month, I would lock in that deal faster than Octane stim stick in a cheetah. And the people who made that game, must have been literally amazing. 

    What has Apex lost this last 1-2 years? Balance.

    Important criticism: making everything overpowered does not make a competitive game balanced. And if a competitive game can't be balanced it becomes a joke. 

    My advice, my desire, trim the fat, make Apex lean again. Get rid of all the unnecessary and bad additions to the game.

    Power ups? No. Cross class abilities? Absolutely not. Leveling tree? Arguably how things started going wrong. Seasons/events that made 20bomb, 4k, and Master badges all completely obsolete? Us fans worked so so hard to get those. Fire and blacklist whomever allowed that to happen.

    Players should be able to see a character, hear their weapons, and thus know EXACTLY what they are up against. And their badges should be affirmation, not a joke.

    Did the decision makers change pre Season 17?  What even happened! People who couldn't pass Plat got Masters badges!?

    And what cruel person with a support fettish thought to make support class so strong that not using them ment giving up winning all together?! Why doesnt Mirage fly? he literally does everything else. 

    And this ranked spawning in fixed zones? If I had been training 6 months for a tournament with crazy money on the line then sure. But it's not the case, and that change sucks the fun out of the 1st 10-15 minutes of gameplay, as I cannot land in my favorite zones, nor plan how I want to approach the match, nor explore. It's just a buzz kill. 

    Then I get pounced on by a team where every other person can double dash, jump insane distances, instantly rez their teammates. 

    It's awful, it's all awful.  But more than that is sad, because Apex was a great game that has been so poorly cared for that I don't believe it will ever recover. Like watching some famous actor implode their career.

    ... I suppose this is what happens when you make additions to a game every few months, that eventually you brake something that was perfect.
