thank you for all the replies its honestly interesting to hear i only have 3 issues with the game(to expand on my first post)

1 the servers are still dodgy, but not always sometimes they are great its just not very consistent

2 lack of progress, since i am a level 500 character apex packs are rare unless i want to buy them, would have preferred something like overwatch where you buy the game and get lootboxes/apex packs every level, even every 5 level's gave me something to look forward to and gave me something to earn now i dont have that, still obviously play and love the game but it feels better to get stuff while playing

3 my heirloom, got a bloodhound heirloom before heirloom shards were a thing, i really love the look of rampart's heirloom and really want fuse's heirloom when it comes out, i cant get either because i already got an heirloom and i had zero choice and its for a character i do not play, i mean yes i could spend money to get heirlooms but its a lot of money for an heirloom

my issues with the game are things that could be fixed, i am still hoping they give every account 1 free(even if it was $20 to be able to get heirloom shards in replacement for actually being able to choose my heirloom is a deal i would take)

still having fun but that unwanted heirloom is still sitting there mocking me :P would feel much better to have an heirloom i actually want

here's hoping i can get a fuse get's a replica of his golden grenade and i can actually have it instead of that bloodhound heirloom i dont want

Agree with a lot of things here. Can't relate with the heirloom thing though since I still don't have one after 2 years. LOL! As for the Overwatch comparison, I still think they should move to the Free to Play format and you can definitely see the lack of players recently having 15+mins queue times. Honestly, I don't think that OW2 will make a significant impact. 

If they fix these minor problems that are lingering throughout multiple seasons and have stable servers, Apex will be the biggest and definitely the best BR in the long run. For now, they really need to work on that. As I've said before, at its core apex is still a great game but dear god please fix these small issues in the game. It took them weeks to fix for a single animated banner pose to somehow disconnect people and even some people still experience this. 

@Cheese9Mani love the idea of heirlooms they are unique and interesting and i get why they are so sought after i just wish i was allowed to choose mine because how rare they are i just feel duped that i didnt get a choice which honestly makes me less interested in spending money because i feel duped, i do think the issues overwatch is going through doesnt have to do with it being a game you need to buy it has a lot of other issues but you could be right no one wants to wait 15 minutes for a match i just wish it was an option to pay for the game and get apex packs every level

just something feels so good about opening them.......until you get a bunch of whites and blues 😛 but i do miss the excitement of opening them.

i do think apex is the best BR already even with the servers, but i just imagine how much better it would be with stable servers, it could be bigger than pretty much anything else

sure i am salty about the heirloom..........but i want my heirloom :P at least i didnt get wraith's since i never use her, at least i occasionally use bloodhound

hopefully you get an heirloom of your choice soon, gibby's heirloom(i assume you main gibby) looks so good, best heirloom in the game imo

I'm enjoying the game and most changes made to gameplay seem ok. 

I am wary of the nerfs/buffs they give to legends as the nerfs seem to be hard (I'm a caustic/ex-Wattson main and am tired of getting shafted) and buffs pretty minor (for example Wattson's ability to regenerate shields, it's pretty much useless as it's so slow and the number of fences you can put up vs cooldown is a joke - Pylon nerfed hard - etc, don't even get me started on Caustic...).

Biggest issues seem to be technical issues like connectivity, players disconnecting, etc.

SBMM seems pretty broken but with the number of smurf accounts and people gaming the system I'm not sure what can be done.  Toxic people are going to be toxic.

I think *FAR* too much attention is given to "CoNtEnT cReAtOrS" and "PrOs" as the stuff they cry about just ruins the game in my opinion as nerfs and changes seem to be influenced by anything that interferes with their 1 dimensional run-and-gun meta.  That is a real shame and a missed opportunity to enable a multi-faceted game that enables various playstyles and strategies.  When I hear someone cry about "campers" what I am actually hearing is "I can't just shoot you, this isn't fair!  WAH!".

Other problems with the game are really down to the community and there is no solution.  Players going solo, doing their own thing, not using legend abilities, quitting if they don't get the legend they want, freaking out over mic when they do something stupid, etc.

@Swarth2300you complain about the server in 1 sentence and then dedicate 10+ to talk about heirlooms... sure that is your viewpoint and it has a place to be.

At the same time this indicates "the market trend" and (unfortunately) I see this way too often in this game - people are focused so much on heirlooms, badges, and visuals than the game itself.

That begs a question - given "limited resources" why on earth should Respawn do something different than they are now = focusing all the attention to micro-transactions, game visuals?! Why fix servers if people will still complain about lost badges, missing heirlooms, not being able to get dive-trails, etc...

You get what you ask for 🙂

I would LIKE to enjoy the game but everytime I get teammates 90% of the cases they do nothing or yell at u bc they can't play and rush to get downed. I mean how can a gamer be so dumb like that? The last time I downed 2 of 3 solo (bc both were down) but the worst part ist that one of my mates was so far away where the enemy loba could use her finisher so she had her shields back up and me? I had only 3% life left no shields or whatever  bc I had to get two of his mates (and to add: I am a gold player so I can't carry people even if I wanted to).

It's so frustating because most of the gamer don't know the word "TEAMWORK" ffs. It's really hard to enjoy the game if you have almost everyday those player who wants to be a crackhead but in the end they are at fault bc the whole team is killed, just because of their stupid ego.

@Swarth2300just few minutes ago I finished in silver ranked as champions playing solo, but the question is if I won because I was good, or if it was because I played Wraith, or if it was because one of my squad members had 7 kills and the other 7 asists, or is it because I overclocked my gpu slightly more and played on 1080p instead of 900p, or is it because I drank an energy drink (which I drink once every month or so).

Perhaps they all played part, perhaps the enemies were weaker this game.

It was quite fun honestly, apart from top 5 to 4 where I got sniped by a sniper squad, but luckily to my calculations they got doomed because another squad attacked them.

I wish all of you same luck and decent squadmates just as I had this game. And no lags. 🙂
