Stop changing game to keep elite streamers happy?

See lot of apex community on Facebook and twitter not happy with respawn changing gun damage to please the elite streams, the game is very unique and fun, don't do what over games have done like bfv and over AAA games and destroy you core surport. If you guys and girls are happy at respawn stand your ground with game and don't change it just to please top streams to keep there kills high and not die as much like rest of use.

  • If we assume that "elite streamers" on average are more skilled than the "us", then Respawn is doing the right thing. A competitive game must always  be balanced based on high elo rather than low elo if forced to make a choice between the two.

    But I personally dont feel like Respawn balance it to please elite steamers happy? I think they keep catering to low skilled players tbh. More specifically, in what way to you think Respawn changes the game to suite elite streamers @sealsquad2016 , if I may ask?

    Sure I understand that concept, but I honestly dont feel like this is happening very much to Apex. So I was curious how you feel this is happening, since you raised the topic.

    The only weapon I know that could have possibly been nerfed due to streamer complaints was the Charge rifle. Streamers and us grinders have been screaming for a PK nerf since it was buffed but they only spit in our faces. Respawn hates people who play their game a ton. They just said they are demoting all of us back down to level 100. I personally dont even grind anymore but I'll lose over 14 million experience.  Apex listens to bots, it's obvious with the SBMM. 

  • @sealsquad2016 I dont really think PK nerf is about elite streamers. I am a regular people and there is no counter play for a PK at the moment. Gold armor and someone just comes around the corner and hits you 160 and well thats nearly the end of it, i dont really enjoy this. Do you? And as a regular player i dont want the game to force me to use PK to win. I want to use other weapons!

    I understand the meta changes and i actually like it, but that means make a gun slightly op not a winning gun. Also even though i am not a crazy player i want to see some skill difference, otherwise i cant improve at all. Take a pk, aim half of your big square on someone and you get 80 damage. Meanwhile your opponent is with a wingman that has to pinpoint an enemy to get 45 damage to body or with a r99 you have to unload a full clip on the enemy with huge tracking skill while maintaining the recoil.

    The moral of the story is if you counterplay every good player with a PK you will not improve. That is why i like things that require skill so i can at least try to master them. This Pk meta is actually making regular gamers lazy and not focusing on what needs to be improved.
