This almost seems like the Devs' are trolling us. Its a slap in the face! Is it that you guys don't want to admit you royally screwed up? - pretty sad that you guys can't even slightly admit that you made mistakes with Axle.
Worst addition to the game since launch. I hope you guys are proud of yourselves.... we sure aren't.
Axle has demonstrated very clearly how this game needs an input-based lobby.
Axle is currently UNSTOPPABLE on a controller.
"Is it that you guys don't want to admit you royally screwed up?"
But did they? Assuming that high-quality, balanced game play was NEVER the goal, take a long look at the player counts on Steam. This season is the highest Apex has hit all year. Actually, it's the highest it's been since May of last year. And prior to that month, you have to go back to June of 2024 to find a higher average player count. Last time we had a higher peak player count? Also June 2024.
It pains me to say this but player counts are sending the message to Respawn that not only is all well in Apexland, but it's better than it's been in a very long time. Crazy, I know. I hate it too. But there you have it.
I'd like to feel like more people are actually playing this game.
So far, I've been playing with the same people day in and day out throughout the entire season, only playing solo q.

I don't know true or not.
Those player counts may be Smurf accounts. EA ban many players lately in ALGS and the game.
Plus EA declared that Solo Q experiment would be conducted in Diamond runk or higher. This test call Smurf accounts in Platinum runk or lower. They may do leveling the account now to play runk match.
Yeah its hard to beat those ADHD kids and the short attention span individuals (there is more of them than us) - and like I said before... the Devs' are those very same gens... so they align rather well. As saddening as it is.
