I'm getting tried of running BEHIND cover, and players - usually on console - are given free shots, because the servers are so bad, they're not in sync and would register hits landed on people behind cover.
I'm even getting the issue where I would shoot at someone, miss shots, reload my gun, and that person would get knocked, saying I somehow was the one who knocked them, while I was RELOADING after MISSING most of the shots. How is this even possible, and why isn't it getting fixed? Or simply, I see the hit markers, hear the bullets land, and no damage markers show up - only for the player to tap the trigger button for a nano second, and I'm instantly knocked.
I suppose player's pings are an issue as well, but its mainly the server, considering its throwing people out randomly, and punishing them, acting like the player left of their own free will, it sounds more of a server issue. So, I don't wanna hear about "checking our connections". It also shows that EA/Respawn doesn't care, considering these kinds of threads are either heavily ignored or deleted.

The Problems With Apex - Quit Ignoring EA/Respawn
I used to think "Man... why did that random get so toxic over a game?" and "Why did that person leave, even though we had the fight under control?" Well... in short: trash matchmaking + cheaters/smurphs + bad servers = toxic & DCing players.
People don't wanna deal with cheaters, they don't wanna deal with smurphs, they don't want noob teammates on their team, or even solo/duo players either. Most don't want ANY console players in their PC lobbies as well. I sure don't want them, because most of them just use strikepacks, and the anti-cheat doesn't care, even though these players have zero recoil, aimbot, etc.
The game also is too focused on "team based" gameplay, that it keeps expecting teamwork from players who have zero intentions of working as a team.
Control - as crazy as it was, allowed players to actually have a fun gamemode to play - even if cheaters and smurphs bombarded most of the lobbies. (I would constantly get 3-7 smurphs on the enemy team, with a few aimbotting and wall hacking).
Other problems with the game, is the audio. No one wants to play a game where they get dunked on because they got ZERO audio cues of players rushing behind them. I've watched a Wraith (who wasn't phasing), zip up a zipline, and empty a FULL devotion mag into me (we were point blank), and all of it had no audio. All I heard was my armor cracking, and me getting knocked.
The game needs a better anti-cheat, better servers, better smurphing/cheating preventions (or shove these people into their own lobbies, so the rest of us can actually ENJOY the game), better audio (and less wall-hacking type legends. Like for real... Seer didn't even need to exist. We all know legends like Seer got added, because no one knows how audio works, so they added these legends to "work around" the problem).
The list goes on, and on, I don't need to go into the gun or legend meta either, (like how the Rampage and Wingman are OP and getting heavily abused when used by preds/cheaters, and how the Wingman is being used as a dual wielding gun. While some cheaters are using legend abilities with no cooldown. Had a Pathfinder grapple over and over again without touching the ground, and even had chased a Wraith who phased 3 times in a row (without exploiting a bug).
Its tiresome EA/Respawn

I was just playing a game, and killed off two squads that were fighting each other. (Me and my team finished off both teams), and then the ring started to close, so we went to go into the ring. All of a sudden, the game became absolutely lagtastic, and a bunch of server errors on the top right popped up. Teammates were freezing and then teleporting, my perspective while flying (I was Valk), was that my hands were in my chest or near my feet, (instead of being out in front of my point of view), and I was being thrown way into the air, and then slammed back into the ground (while still doing the flying animation), and then suddenly the game kicked me to the tittle screen.
No error like "code:net", no nothing. It was just the title screen, as if I just booted up the game. What's even weirder, is that the game recap says we placed "0/20". Um... how?? This was in a normal pubs match, so there wasn't any kind of penalty or rank point loss.

Servers were terrible to tonight - after watching bullets somehow go right through enemies at point blank range I had to quit. what a waste of time.

Pathfinder - Ran behind COVER
Rampart - "Knocks" Pathfinder before Sheila even charges up to fire
This is why people leave matches early, cheat, etc. because playing legit isn't worth it in the s l i g h t e s t.
Oh and notice the top right? May not have the detailed server info, but guess what? No player error icons - that's the server, and the fact that its allowing high ping players the ability to break and abuse it without bothering to check shots.
My random teammate shouldn't of gotten killed in this situation. Even to my perspective - Pathfinder was NOT lagging. The servers just decided it didn't wanna properly update on the other player's end or something. I don't know, but its not our connection like EA claims it to be.

I used a shield Battery, i saw that my shield was full loaded and died with 1 shot cause at my enemys screen my shield was not full...
But your Pathfinder pinged an enemy above him and it could be that he get killed from behind and not from rampart?
We dont see the kill screen.
