“Switching to other games.”

We as a community, deserve better than the garbage we are receiving. There are many issues that I won’t even discuss but I will mention gameplay, and cosmetics. 

Gameplay: 

Legends: Extremely unbalanced. Two words, Crypto and Ash. Not going to get into it too much.

Guns: Also extremely unbalanced, the Eva-8, L-Star, the Rampage, the 3 best (unfair) weapons on ground, I don’t pick them up, they are boring, and too easy to kill people with. 

TTK: The TTK is way too fast, especially for something like Apex, an ability based game, the game is an outright healing game, you can hold so many heals but in games like Fortnite or COD, you can’t hold that many. For new players and casuals, the TTK is terrible, I like it. I love being able to everyone with a R99. But for others, it is just unfair. My friend is a casual and he can’t even protect his team anymore? He mains Gibby. I main Octane. He loves playing slow and supporting his team. He can’t do that anymore, even I, a sweat can’t even play as well. I can’t carry my team as I used to. And by all means, me and my friend aren’t terrible at the slightest. Many game styles have been thrown to the dust. Respawn cares about the “pros”? What about casuals? I can still play the new TTK, but it’s not that fun anymore. I’m a sweat, and I hate just killing everybody in a few seconds and then getting a squad wipe pretty easily, as we are trying to heal, something called 3rd parties come out of their den to hunt us down. We beat them, another on comes. I’m not joking, the 3rd parties got worse as healing don’t matter as you are looting and trying to armour swap.

Matchmaking: Even worse than last season, they added some chart before you get into selecting your legend? That doesn’t help anything. We want changes. The TTK made matchmaking worse, level 5s can kill a good amount of people playing Ash and using the Eva-8, and end up in lobbies with platinum, or higher.

 

Cosmetics: 

Legend and Weapon skins: The skins are terrible, they are just terrible. They are never creative, and useless in game. You can’t even see the skin unless you’re using an heirloom which costs 500 bucks and even if you have one, you can see the hands of the skin? Wow, amazing. I can go to Fortnite to get more skins for less money. They are more creative, more interesting, and I can see it in game. Or for Overwatch, I feel like they gift skins to players very often, they are pretty generous. Valorant weapon skins have actual different reload and inspect animations, the only time we had that, was with the new 500 dollar mythic R301, and Valorant isn’t even close to that expensive. Fortnite has creative skins, that are modeled nicely, despite them being kind of stupid, they are cool. A pickaxe, sometimes, you get a parachute as well, and honestly, being able to play as Master Chief would be as sick as hell. Another example, Overwatch, Overwatch gives legendary skins pretty often, and give extremely good sales on them like discounts. Valorant (I already mentioned). 

Honestly, bros. I’m going to switch to Valorant, Overwatch, and who knows, maybe even Fortnite.

To Respawn, it doesn’t matter, I’m just one player lost, just a spec of dust in a old cabinet.

    All true, but they don't care. I hope 2025 is the last year of this game if this is how it's going to be. This season I've been going in for a few minutes a day to see everything you've described. I've uninstalled the game and I'm waiting for the moment when they'll retract most of the stupid changes from s20-24. Then I'll come back. This is not Apex Legends anymore. This is a completely different game, but focused mainly on professionals and cheaters. By the way, this season shows that there are still plenty of the latter and EAC sucks.

    Good luck with another game.
