As mentioned in my QOL post, that no one is liking lol, I think having a "party up option" after matches will alleviate some of the team balancing issues. If you come across a like-minded player(s), you can party up instantly for the next match and beyond instead of rolling the dice and starting over with new teammates.
In regard to cheating, I play on the PS5, and I don't see a lot of cheating when playing or spectating. I'm in Ranked queues mostly, not sure about Pubs. I think complaining about cheating takes too much mental energy. Only thing that will stop cheating is to take the companies that make cheating software and devices to court.
It wasn't that I didn't like it. I appreciate the thought that went into it. I guess I'm just looking for more of a "why" when you say that solo players should be encouraged to stay out of ranked, or possibly banned from ranked altogether. I had to make an educated guess as to why you felt that way, but I'd rather hear you give your own thought process on that one.
I actually had a post I was working on to reply to you yesterday. Unfortunately, the page refreshed, and I lost the post. Sometimes the universe stops me from doing certain things. So, I decided to just understand your position and follow that. That's actually how I play the game too, just follow my teammates right or wrong. It's the Apex way. I've deleted Apex and redownloaded Rivals, Fortnite, Fragpunk, etc. I would rather play Apex, but it's just easier to play games I'm less passionate about. It's a win-win for everyone. :-)
I apologize for mentioning my post. It won't happen again. Yes, Fortnite has taken legal action against cheat makers since 2019. Google it. I would never type anything on a forum that's not meaningful.
You don't need to endlessly apologize. I'm well-aware of the companies taking cheat device makers to court. I was a kid when Game Genie came out and they fought an insane battle in court but due to technicalities, they still sold it. Game shark went on for a while too.
These companies are have the ability to ban scripts, exploits and anything else in their game. They have the resources but continue to fire people and increase the store. At no time should any type of cheating be able to continue in gameplay. Other games have banned it or the game will shut down. I have reported over and over and I get an email saying "no action taken at this time." These cheat makers are making $5000 a pop on these cheats, this game is a joke.
Now I'm sorry I'll never get to read that post.
And I definitely get "easier to play games I'm less passionate about." I would add, it's easier to play games that have a PvE component. To this day I break from Apex with Halo Reach Firefight mode which is fifteen years old now and showing no signs of wear. I was all over it when Respawn launched Bot Royale even though there was huge room for improvement. But they do keep improving it, so that's what I really look forward to with new seasons. Definitely not the endlessly repetitive LTMs or the insanely overpowered new/old legends.
