Building a better apex for the community

Hi Respawn,

I’m an Apex Legends player with some ideas that I believe could make the game more enjoyable, fair and welcoming for everyone.

I understand that not every suggestion will work, but I believe the community should have more opportunities to share ideas and have them considered.

Here are my main suggestions:

1. Classic Legend abilities
   Bring back some of the abilities and mechanics that made older Legends enjoyable, while keeping modern cooldown times to maintain balance. Every Legend should have strengths, weaknesses and fair counterplay.
2. More open public matchmaking
   Allow public matches to include real players with different skill levels. Keep Ranked as the separate competitive environment. Give players a warning before entering open public lobbies so they understand what to expect.
3. Ranked Training Simulator
   Introduce a permanent training mode where players can choose a difficulty from Rookie to Predator and practise against challenging bots. Allow solo and squad practice, but don’t count kills, wins, badges, RP or statistics.
4. Apex Combat Coach
   After elimination, explain what happened, suggest ways the player could have countered the situation and provide something practical to practise. Help players learn instead of simply showing them that they lost.
5. Community feedback programme
   Give players a place to submit suggestions, vote on ideas, receive developer responses and test possible changes.

Why I believe this matters

Apex shouldn’t only be designed around professional players or the highest-ranked players.

New players, casual players and competitive players all have valuable experiences and opinions.

I don’t expect every suggestion to be implemented. I simply want Respawn to consider giving the wider community a genuine voice.

Don’t just build Apex for the community. Build Apex with the community.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
