I think it is more than fair to give positive feedback when there is a good reason to do so and this is the time.Season 18 started a bit sluggish but something happaned a week or so ago and the game is like totally new game for me - there is no lag or any issues in the game and e.g. Mix tape games have been amazingly good with mostly fair teams and a lot of action and FUN. All the movement sluggishness is vanished now. To be honest I dont know how EA did that or did I do something on my setup but... Apex is like a different game now.Thank you!Br,-Salosieppo

I am certainly one that believes in showing support and good feedback.I'm not 100% Anti EA, I greatly appreciate if they are trying their best, and I certainly understand being a developer is not an easy thing, but there are seriously issues that have been going on for years in this game that have never really changed.To sit here and say the game is perfect, that is just total nonsense, some would seriously believe this is just trolling/propaganda.I have been playing this game since the beginning, I have over 3000 hours in the game, I know it like the back of my hand, and if it was in a really great state, I would also be right here posting about it and praising and giving thanks, but it's in a very sad state of condition.The condition/state of Apex, is some of the worst it has seen since it's inception.With all the problems of this game, I'm also still running at times into sound issues, this makes it really hard at those moments to hear anythiing, and so easy to get killed, when you can't hear. I believe happened last season. Sometimes I get a loud crackling/hissing, and also the sound becomes more muted, as if I had ear plugs in my ears. Sometimes it lasts only a few seconds, and then at other times for a few minutes.Matchmaking is still very bad.Cheating, extremely bad, ranging from 30%-60% in each lobby.Severs pings, they are the worst I've also seen since the game started. Somewhere around S15 or S16 it became the worst, S17, now S18 no real changes either with server pings.I still very much have a heart for this game, but given how bad match making is and the extreme amount of cheaters, and then for the fact, when you play as a Random player, this game is very frustrating to play now.

With all due respect, this game is garbage the way it is now. Any one who thinks other wise hasn't played for a long time or isn't skilled enough. I have played since day 1, have made pred and master multiple times but public game modes are making the game unplayable. Just because I have been in a higher rank than other people doesn't mean the only people I fight against should be other preds. If I wanted to have sweaty ranked fights I would do it in ranked. The current ranked system is complete trash and doesn't reward hard working players. It's a struggle for me as a solo player to get any where in ranked. Currently in gold and Hard stuck because I'm getting random team mates who in bronze and don't know how to shoot their guns all while I'm fighting 3 stack preds... the game needs a complete over haul and the devs just don't want to admit it.

Cheating is ever where in apex. Cronus zen and strike packs for one. You shouldn't be able to use the flatline with a 4x scope and 1 mag some one with out missing a shot from the across the map. Your cheat detection system doesn't work on console. I've had people tell me they are using cronus zen and strike packs and when I report them I get the email "we have taken no action" response. I get called racial slurs and abuse and have reported people but the same email gets sent around. Cronus zen has about 75000 in its discord alone. Let alone all the others that aren't in the discord. So he isn't making unproven statements or what it is you said he was saying. He is stating facts. Facts on which the devs won't acknowledge or say. The number 1 pred got banned the other day so why is it taking the anti cheat system so long to ban these players?????? The number 1 pred for crying out loud. He shouldn't even make it out of the preliminary games let alone the top spot

@Asmodeus566 Every so often, I end up with randoms who have cheats. I would watch them ping "enemy here" on walls, run out of zone and then suddenly I hear "shooting", "enemy down!"Cheating is indeed rampant. Most of them lean towards using wall hacks though.

@Salo_MnKDUO and Trio lobbies seem to have the same level of cheating insanity going on.Really sad...

What an earth have you been doing - game is perfect atm.

@AnyBrains I know what you are talking about. I had a feeling there are cheaters everywhere one clipping you but now.. 1-1's are fair and there are no more one-clipping at least for me so definately something changed.

Can you prove your statement? or are you just making an unfounded, non-proofed generalized statement.
I have run into cheaters of various types from time to time but not like what you state.
What you are saying is that each match anyone plays, out of the 59 other players (if you solo jump) about 1/3 to 2/3 of the lobby are cheating, or like 19-38 players per match. This would also mean that more than likely at least 1 out of 3 matches you play you are teamed up with at least 1 and possibly 2 cheaters on your own team.
I for one do not believe your statement that there is 30-60% cheaters in each lobby.
Provide proof otherwise you are just spreading unjustified rumors.

I understand what you are saying "every so often" ok what is that like 1 in 10 games?
Because every 3rd game or just about every other game is not every so often. That is why I think the unjustified statement of 30-60% is wrong.

@Asmodeus566 If I played 20 matches, about 2-3 of them had a random(s) using cheats. I mostly see them on enemy teams as the game mainly gives me bots or "noob" teammates for some reason.

I've played about 18 matches so far today, and only had one "good" game, and that was because one of the randoms was clearly cheating. Their shields never broke and they were lasering everyone, even when in the middle of 3 players shooting at them. The other one kept getting knocked over and over again.

Yeah, there's a bunch of cheaters, but I've only really seen 1-3 teams each match, and for the most part they find each other first as I would see a few names a lot in the kill feed, and then suddenly one of those names knocks down another one of the other names.

@Averageapexnoten That is true, some of the games have been crashing at the very beginning during this season (for Mixtapes) which does not matter that much. Usually before the crash there were loads of packet loss but that is a small hickup if the working games are good.
