Apex is just broken
Hello. As the title states the game is just broken. The game has no consistency. I get that situations are dynamic and players are better than others. However that’s not the problem. I can get instan...
I fail to believe you have never had any of those issues. We have all had matches where you land every bullet. We have all also had matches where you can't land any or only land a few. Is that servers? - possibly. Is it servers every time - doubt that very much. Too many ppl with the very same experiences. Balance of probability at that point.
Have you ever shot at a revenant, pathy or ash (I use them as examples because its much easier to notice) - upon hitting them you always see medal shards or sparks indicating that you have landed hits? I can't count how many times I blast into one of them, see the medal sparks but not a single damage point is given. I do not die, I duck down behind cover and reload and never do generate those damage points.
Now usually if it is a server issue or lag, you will still receive those damage points but after a delay. Is that always a server issue? - possibly....every time it happens when their is no other type of lag issues what so ever in that match, and my fps and ping are exactly where they are supposed to be? - also, doubt that very much.
Here's a good example from my many many experiences - lets take the wingman. I do not know how to use a wingman, only used it maybe 3 or 4 times since game launch. Can't hit the broad side of a barn if my life depended on it, I know cause 2 out of the 4 times I've used it was in firing range. Realized really quickly it just wasn't for me, can't use it - stink with it completely. However there are times in a match where it is my time to have fun - and I have picked it up because it was the only gun available and I started getting shot from behind. I panicked and did a 180, I didn't find the guy in my sights and fire. I didn't track him. I just turned out of sheer panic and took a wild guess roughly where he was firing from and downed him in 2 head shots! I know my skill level - I know when I am being helped and when I am being takin away from. I am not that good. I went on that match and again in two shots from over 300 meters away killed another guy with the wingman in 3 head shots. I am sure I was reported for cheating that day....even I would have reported me.
I went on that match and couple following to not miss a shot. Even when I could visibly see that my cursor was just beside the enemy and not right on him as my aim at that particular moment wasn't great but still I generated hits I could clearly see that I shouldn't have. Got 14 kills that match and 2900 damage. Again - I am not that good, that is above my average skill level. I couldn't do anything wrong.
Another example - I am in duos as a solo -I have blue shield, being shot at by a duo team, one my east side 20 feet away roughly, and his partner on my west side about the same distant away. This is a game over situation. Again, I panicked and did a 180 and started firing out of desperation, ducking, jumping, spinning 180 again firing at his partner going back and fourth. I know they are landing hits. They are too close to miss. Some how I came out of that battle knocked and eliminated that duo. Here is where it got weird. When I finally looked down to see my health. I only had one blue cell out of my shield that was depleted WTF! I though what the hell, I have matches where I'm red evo and take a few bullets and get knocked. I just had two guys spraying me on both sides at close range and that is the only damage I took. Again - where those two terrible shots - possibly, but I fail to believe those guys at that distant missed every shot in a battle that felt like 45 seconds long. Cause I know there are too many matches where my bullets seem to go right through or don't register at all despite seeing the medal sparks from indicated hits landing.
So with just those two simple above examples just 2 out of many, I ask, is that just the server working like its supposed to? Why am I landing hits when my reticle is still half a foot off the person's hit marker?
Again, I know my skill level. I can tell the difference from an off day. I can also tell the difference from when the system is helping me to play above my skill level and when it forces me to play below it. I've been playing this game since day one. After awhile it is pretty easy to tell.
Hence EOMM. But this is just my opinion.
