So you guys want to make this game more competitive? okay.

TLDR: Remove useless weapons. Limit the amount of healing supplies players can carry.

The current major problems holding this game back from being competitive are the huge balance problems when it comes to random loot. But as this is a battle royale that's kind of the point... Scavenging for loot and all that. But let me get straight to the point here; at higher levels of ranker play you start to notice more squads being alive towards the end of the games. The reason for this is extremely obvious. It's impossible to push the lucky players, meaning that the players with more healing supplies and decent long ranged weapons will require way to much effort and resources, also the potential risk of losing to make a push. To fix this problem I suggest the removal of all nonviable weapons, and a separate healing item slot in the backpack in order to reduce the amount of healing supplies any player can carry at all times. 

This has probably been said many times before, I'm just pointing it out again.

  • @Cyturion How does this help anything? If there are few healing items and I gain more rank from placing high rather than killing then I'm just going to hide with a charge rifle. If I finish a squad but don't have any healing items then I'll once again hide. Also whenever we kill a squad they're always loaded with the healing items that they never got to use which is why I run into the next fight with 20 heals that I won't need.

    This suggestion doesn't make the game any more competitive just different. Turns it more towards a slow paced campfest with one sided fights that favor the players that shot first.

    Changing the rank rewards to favor kills rather than placement will encourage players to seek out fights more if you're concerned about that.

    Fewer heals would also screw with legend balance, as we saw in the armed and dangerous event.

  • The reason why this game will never be competitive overall is because premades are the only even remotely competitive aspect about the game. As soon as you enlist by yourself in a server, you get basic bots 9/10 games who can't handle more than 3 minutes without being killed trying to fight an entire squad.

    This whole game is based on communication and cooperation, and there is none of that whatsoever in the base game, which is why we need a solos mode. Nobody wants to play trios with all these shiteheels anymore.

  • @Cyturion Stop trying to change the game for yourselt.
    Poor loot is the biggest problem this game has and every content creator has mentioned it. From Dr Disrespect, to Shroud and Kandyrew.

    No one want to play a game with poor loot.
    People want to land grab an r99 and blue body shield and go to work.

    The so call competitive play changes you mentioned would kill this game.

    Apex is not a true br, it really a squad based team deathmatch with easy to find loot, or was.
