Apex is a good game absolutely ruined by it’s playerbase

1000th post about solo queueing because holy is this a terrible experience. Most games consist of incessant hotdropping (where unsurprisingly we all die because landing in a hot drop barely prepared is a dumb idea) or my teammates bail once they get downed/killed

Occasionally I get matched with some decent people, actually have fun & I remember why I keep playing this game in the first place but recently the game’s just been so damn miserable. I actually like this game but the players just ruin the whole thing completely.

  • I see this complaint made a lot lately as if it's a new thing.  Both of these problems have plagued my game since I began playing Apex in S7.

    I'm not disagreeing that it's a problem - it 100% is.  But I'm not sure why people talk as if it's a recent phenomenon.

    "The primary goal is survival but the most fun aspect is fighting. Fighting in no way aids survival and simply surviving isn't fun. Who wants to play a game that isn't fun? Who wants to play using a losing tactic?"

    Never heard it put so well.

    This could be solved very fast. 

    Now you only get points if you don't fight and survive till the top 9.

    They could leave that as it is, and only add that you also get points when you kill someone. So both player bases would be happy.

    The ones who like to fight from the gecko, and the others who don't.

    Unfortunately online gaming has always will be and will always be toxic.

  • I think not getting a score if you didn’t, say, cause damage to an opponent before you hit top 10 would only prove how badly Apex, and Battle Royake fames, are set up for that.

    What people actually want is something more like Vontrol, or Arenas, or TDM. I don’t think they actually want a BR format even if they say they do. And I’ve been on this for a while.

    Battle Royales are not good games for competition.

    The game is being cultivated to help the casual gamer. The whole match used to be like 25 minutes tops people were only ratting of they had lost both teammates and couldn't get them back. Now you have entire squads sitting in buildings spam crouching while looking at each other for 10 minutes straight till circle forces them to move locations and you can't even fight a team without 4 teams sniping you from across the map. They claim it's to make it more competitive but when did camping long enough to go take a fat * become competitive gameplay?

    @kyrie764 Evo shield & crafting changes in S20 might really change ratting back to what it should be, a last resort. It won't change how toxic & weird most rwndoms are though.

    Yeah i read all the patch updates before I deleted the next season is gonna be worse because now if you play solo you're for sure going to get garbage teammates because anyone good is going to squad up for sure now.
