2 years agoWhat made YOU quit apex?
For the people that quit or barely play anymore but still visit this sub what was the reason you dropped off from the game?

I climbed to a professional level and was even invited to a major by ea. Thousands of hours of aim training and comm practice with teammates. We found that players who put thousands of less hours in the game were out performing us with aim assist.
Our org disbanned and contracts expired. I can vouch that aim assist alone destroyed 3 professional careers. It’s not balanced and professional players say it’s not balanced.
Other than it not being balanced and feeling overpowered.. the proof is that it’s statistically imbalanced.
If you want to be a professional you’re forced to play with aim assist. The last people on mouse and keyboard on a professional level are being phased out or are adapting by swapping to aim assist inputs.
We quit because of the lack of transparency and communication by EA and its developers. The stale content of aim assisted players being rewarded; and we couldn’t envision a time when mouse and keyboard would ever be viable again. So we gave up and threw away thousands of hours of our lives. Turns out it was the right decision; EA and Respawn devs are still ignoring aim assist and the data behind it to this day with no plans to change such imbalances.
Its poor design competitively, company leadership, communications and community involvement make Apex Legends a bad product for investment. Organizations should and will leave apex when a better alternative with competitive integrity comes along.
