Classic Mode

First, I love it.  Brings me back to the original game when I first started playing.  That's fantastic.

Sadly, the same issues are present.  I am just smashed every single game.  I think I lasted 15 or so games before enough was enough (that didn't take long, believe me - every squad we encountered we were absolutely destroyed.  Won zero squad fights.  None.  In 15 games).  My KD is normally .9-1.1 and avg damge is around 400.  Not great numbers but it is what it is.

KD .15.  Avg damage around 100.  Just absolutely destroyed every encounter.  Spoiled it for me and i cut my session short.  I want to play but... what's the point?  Why would I spend time on that?

Same issues.  It's unplayable.  As per usual I get green team mates and we come up against squads that never miss.  How am I supposed to compete in that environment?

  • @RockDokRock Matchmaking is what's hurting the game most. No amount of added stuff will fix that.

    Also I thought the mode was bad.

    @hayhor It was probably a mistake limiting it to the original legends... someone who mains Loba, for example, won't be thrilled.  But outside of that I don't see the problem with it.  Forcing you to play it over regular trios might have been a bad move (give people the option).  This will appeal to original players like me but new players will probably have some confusion about the mode as it's very different to what you have today (no EVO shields... what you find is what you have and you start with no shield for example).

    But, ya, my complaint is always MM.  Tired of looking forward to a session and just cutting it short because it's unplayable.  At least I've reached the point to know when to quit rather than just continually play and be frustrated.

  • @RockDokRock I actually had fun in my games surprisingly. I'm Off to a decent start this season. Every game I finished top 5 in the classic. Ranked is a different story tho & the knock to bronze when I finished in plat irritates me.

    "It was probably a mistake limiting it to the original legends... someone who mains Loba, for example, won't be thrilled."

    As a Valk main forced to revisit the days when I mained Pathfinder, it was refreshing. Not because Pathfinder is intrinsically great, but because the absence of Loba, Horizon, Rev, and Valk... made him great. He was the only vertical legend and King's was full of places virtually no one else could get to. Won my second match in exactly that way. Oh how I miss the times when a match could come down to something other than someone else's aimbot.

    @hayhor Yeah, same again. Got our squad of 3 together. Just quit after half our. Just out classed every time. Didn't win a single fight. I'm sure this isn't helping player numbers. Not willing to do it anymore.

    @Lord_Scorpion34The knock to bronze came bcs Respawn drove away millions of ranked players since the Start of S20. just not enough players in the lower regions anymore, so you have to fill it up with people that dont even want to play down there ... typical death spiral in process.

    They did something in S20 they are not willing to admit, quite a lot of players began complaining their KD dropping at exactly S20 start, getting beamed by every 2nd player.
    You really believe thats all cheaters ? bcs when i spec those guys i cannot see that miracle aim with which they took me down ...
    You can guess what , i have my suspicions which got me suspended from this forum twice in the matter of minutes , should tell a lot 😉

    @RockDokRock

    just look at the numbers of apexlegendsstatus
    500K total for S23 and also S22
    S19 -> 144K Masters and Preds made up for 3.5% of the rank playerbase equals 4.1 Mio players total tracked by that site,
    S18 -> 44K Masters and Preds made 1% of the Rank Player Base tracked equals 4.8 Mio).
    Simple math ...
    Tracker sites are a more valid data source than those steamcharts, bcs they track every player who has at least one tracker set on the Legend, no matter the system they are playing on.

    @r1ggedgame lol. I couldn't care less about ranked. Won't touch it.

    Not millions though. That stat is laughable

    @RockDokRocklol, they literally grab the numbers from the official Apex Legends API, pretty much like Overwolf does for its overlay.
    Those numbers were pretty  stable in the 3-5 Millions until S20, just look it up.
    Also the fact that i super rarely got the same random player in the following match before S20 , now its way too often and you end up getting the same randoms 3-4 times in a row
