Apex is great.

The fact that Apex Legends game / gameplay is kinda unique is basically the only thing keeping this .... afloat.

As soon as there is something even remotely similar = 100% this game is dead assuming nothing changes.

I have been gaming even longer and I can tell that I have never enjoyed the game as soon as hackers take over and get praised. Apex is notorious in this case and why many play ranked in a format - reach D4 and quit, because after that you just get crushed by hackers again and again and again.

And the saddest part is that community is at the same time:
1. uneducated enough to see who is / is not hacking
2. knowingly cheering for whomever posts crazy stats without asking questions "is this too good to be true story legit"
3. people in charge allow this stuff to happen because money and business

And what's equally bad about above said - Respawn in a way (AA strength, gun meta, legend meta) is forced to dumb the game down given people are unable to teamwork nor willing to pay the price for not teamworking. Clear example Valorant = clearly implements the system where even if you do 3x frags and you team still loses, you lose as well, not as much as others but still lose. And on the other side as soon as you do 3x frags, basically next game is vs higher ranked players as it suppose to be, forcing you to teamwork as 1 man army mode will not be enough / possible.

Apex was fun for me like 100% fun until I reached D4 easily on split to split basis, after that I am one of those "hardstuck" idiots who train, do aim training, invest in hardware yet still can't bridge the gap between mindless controller players who flexing their "push into enemy face -> get a kill or two -> sabotage team effort and make other rat -> flex that you got most RP" and hacker 3stacks.

For the past 3-4 seasons I have quit the game twice (including now) and my only goal really has been to improve game performance / settings, audio and my tracking. Rest is just pointless grind when I feel like doing it with the hope that there will be 2 more people who are willing to do the same, communicate, don't rage on you and don't go "crazy mode" as soon as you comment on their decisions, skills, suggest improvements.

p.s. argument that game is free is not applicable as if this game would not be free player base would be at least 1/5 of the current one as only insane person would pay money to play "always beta" version game, which you can lose at any point in time (see daily topics in forums about accounts being lost, hacked, banned) + known to be infested with hackers.

Thanks for your post and feedback.

I 100% agree with you. Apex is the best Free battle royal FPS game currently out on the market. I have been playing since it came out in 2019.

Are there things that could be better? Yes, the list is long but what online multiplayer game does not have issues these days.

There are two other games I like almost as much and they are well made games but they are entirely different from Apex: Baldurs Gate 3 well worth getting and Valheim also a fabulous game.  

"Yes, the list is long but what online multiplayer game does not have issues these days.".

But you created these problems, after all, you are responsible for the game, aren't you?

Do you have a problem with detecting wallhacking (the most commonly used cheat). Your solution? You add wallhacking-based skills to more and more characters. Is this supposed to be the fight against cheaters?

Game balance? There have already been so many topics, not only here, but also on reddit, that I don't want to repeat the same thing again.

Since s23, this game has been lying. You had a temporary online spike only because people got excited playing Ash for a few weeks. Now this game is boring, monotonous and looks the same in every match. You killed the best FPS game and now it definitely isn't.

I am addressing this to you, i.e. EA, because no one except the people who claim (we do not work for EA) speaks out on these topics.

First off the game is the best FPS Battle Royal Game out right now.

Secondly I think you have made a small mistake. I do not work for EA or Respawn. 

I am a gamer and a Forum Super User a part of the Community Connections Program (CCP)  you can see that next to my name with the Rank of Hero+ in gold. 

The game is far from boring, well at least for me and my friends. 

The framework for greatness is there. Still. Even after everything that's happened in the last few years... but especially the last few months.

But hey, I'm still playing in spite of all my complaints. So there's still something right going on.

I think when you see so many people complaining these days it's because games change over time, and this one has changed a lot. And if you happen to be a player who prefers the game as it was over and above the way that it is now... well, then there's a lot to complain about. And in my case, I have a lot of very strong opinions about how games should be in general, and none of them are that way, so I'll find a lot to complain about no matter what I play. But I can acknowledge that the game has a lot going for it even if it fails miserably to do and be the things that I want a game to do and be. We wait for the sunrise, said someone a lot more thoughtful than me.

I been Player for Apex legends  since come out 2019. 
This game is good because do not have to make house or wall  to defend

Another thing to mention is, After I got used to how smooth Apex feels, I have lost my appetite to play other games because no other games got the feeling right. And im not even speaking about some small games nobody knows, Im speaking about very big titles like COD and fortnite. The only game I ever take seriously is Apex and for good reasons too. When I play BR or other apex game modes its like a live or die situation to me. I have to make the right decisions and the smallest mistake can cost me the whole game. This is what keeps me alive in this dead industry.
