Visible health bars & low TTK
I genuinely believe adding visible health bars and ruining the TTK has taken away a lot of what made Apex and the fights great and interesting to play or watch. Season 21 was the last time we played...
Forum Discussion
I've been diamond or masters every split. Sitting in D3 right now averaging over 1k damage a game and almost a 2 K/D as I constantly face masters/pred 3-stacks with my duo. My alt's numbers are even higher obviously in plat lobbies.
I simply don't think the game is as fun as it was and I think those two things are the main reason.
From your reply I conclude:
- not sure why you posted your stats
- you telling me you can keep up with Masters/Preds in legit way WHILE healthbars make your experience worse (catch me, I am falling of my chair laughing) <- dude not gonna lie this is most absurd thing I have have heard in a while and I have heard a lot of crazy stuff in Apex. Wow...speachless
- you seemed to change your argument from "healthbars are bad for the tactical gameplay" to "it is not fun (define fun, you will be the first person, later you can proceed making definition to second most popular word in Apex "toxic")"
- you just showed how low ego your personality is:
a) keeping up with Masters/Preds = probably hacking as much as I have learned over past 20 seasons
b) having a smurf = typical combo of above said, not enough ego boost getting Masters...nah have to dunk on Golds and Silvers in Plat lobbies
c) "defensive" stat posting accompanied by "fun seeking" personality - your attention do details / reading other people posts are much worse than Master level -> you did not reply to my question :)
Dude no offense but health bars if at all make damage this game less in comparison what damage players like you do, and I am not talking about 1000 damage/game here :D
You clearly don't play enough and didn't play older seasons if you don't understand how the dynamics of the fights have changed dramatically since both changes were implemented. My post clearly explains all of that.
Also, the only reason I have an alt is to play Ranked with my friends who are in silver/gold. It's literally still a level 30 account that I barely play and never play solo with.
I didn't answer/address your questions/points because none of it was even relevant to what I'm saying. You basically just said it's a skill issue along with a bunch of other nonsense. My post explains itself pretty clearly.
Health bars give away not just your HP info but they also give away your position in fights/where you're moving to and are still visible through things it shouldn't be (trees/foliage). Do you even remember what "posturing with shields" was?
Low TTK isn't good because they can't balance all the weapons/legend utility to be viable in fights when everyone gets knocked so quickly and the fights end so fast. The top of the meta weapons/legends are arguably even stronger relative to before. It's also made the fights a lot more predetermined compared to the back-and-forth nature that teamfighting in Apex was like for most of its life.The fights are just less fun, interesting, and dynamic overall. That's my entire point.
Also your replies are clearly more toxic than either of my posts and this has nothing to do with "hackers". They're just called cheaters btw. Also it's speechless*If you want me to get toxic, you type like a 16 year old and you must be on console if you think you need to "hack" to keep up with Masters/Preds.
Did my comments hit where it hurts? :)
Don't forget it is you hacking / posting stats for no reason / flexing all while not providing objective facts, replies to states questions.
Here, have some more:

I guess being top 0.3% in terms of level shows that I have played this game more than 99.7% of people...
- your argument about alt / smurf account would be valid...10 seasons ago or so when Respawn heard crybabies like you and removed 1.5 tier protection so you could play with your friends.
Yet I know what you will say - your nub friend can't keep up with Master/Pred lobbies you in... so you make that other people problem by being so good and yet going into sub Plat carrying/boosting your friend.
You just lucky Respawn struggles for active player count numbers, otherwise I am sure smurfs like you would be removed instantly and not spoil experience to new players / nub level like your friend there. - continuing theme of friends - sure they could improve on their own, playing pubs with your guidance...but that's for plebeians, real winners just get 2+ tiers higher elo superstar and get carried.
- nice try on flexing Masters...even if I would not have one based on my knowledge it used to be the case where Masters were <1% of all ranked player base, in some cases even sub 0.5%, lately with hacking and boosting epidemics those numbers have risen above 3% sometimes reaching 5%. Now back to your "insult" = 95%+ of people reading this would be those, who have never been Masters...I guess you wanted to insult basically whole ranked player based except superstars like you and Preds. Sure, I will take it that I am top 10% of bottom 95% of the game, my ego can take it, always was and always will be.
If you want to compare your aimlabs or kovaaks scores, let me know your nickname :) I will add you / share mine. 😁 from console obviously 🤣
You are exactly one of those kids from Zeus YT videos who flex hacks and when banned can't take any responsibly and act like victims. Sad story, your life outside game will be really hard with such self-esteem. Try to keep out of jail :) as hacking outside games are punished much better than Respawn does it here in Apex :)
You're actually unhinged. I can barely understand the point you're trying to make with the way you type.
If all you got out of my mediocre stats is that I'm clearly a cheater, then I'm flattered.
Also if you were actually knowledgeable on the subject you would know that nobody uses Apex Tracker and that ApexLegendStatus is more accurate.
Here's my alt: https://apexlegendsstatus.com/profile/PC/callmebluebabyClearly I've been smurfing non-stop on this level 35 account that I've occasionally used since launch to play with my MMO friends in discord...
Here's my main: https://apexlegendsstatus.com/profile/PC/Mastiffbique
Literally only hit Masters 3 times because most seasons I don't grind ranked that hard after Diamond.
You've gone on this tangent accusing me of being a cheater for no real reason and I'm truly baffled by the diarrhea of words you just spit out.
Admitting you're on console explains a lot. Typical console player who doesn't know what he's talking about and thinks every PC player above plat must be a "hacker".
PC isn't console where ranked is infested with Xims, Titans, and teamers. I'm literally just an average diamond-level player on PC, borderline Masters if I played enough and had a consistent 3-stack.You're literally a higher account level than me yet you only have 3k total kills, do you just live in Mixtape or something? Explains why you don't know average career stats when you see them.
If I was actually cheating on PC and basically hardstuck Diamond like I am now, then I think I'd probably need to spend money on some better cheats.
Does this look like cheats to you?
I'm assuming you still play on console because you can't afford a good PC. It would make sense for someone that can barely type out a coherent sentence.
And none of this is even relevant to why I made this post. I'll reiterate my point. I simply think the game is less fun with visible health bars and low TTK.
