Doesn't it take too long before starting a game? Quickplay button?

Hi,

I think starting a game in Apex Legends takes more time than it should, let's see...

1) [From the Lobby] Click on "Ready"

2) Matchmaking message

3) "XX players in queue" message

4) Connecting...

5) Kings Canyon screen

6) Waiting for Players / Starting in xx...

7) Apex Legends curtain

8) Countdown and then "Select Legends"

9) Time to choose your Legend, repeat for each player

10) Your Squad screen

11) Champion squad screen

12) Countdown before being able to jump

Sometimes I find that way too much (and maybe I've forgotten some steps).

The whole process could be lightened up a bit, maybe even a Quickplay button could be added (could work like this):

1) Choose your Legend in the Lobby

2) Click on 'Quickplay' and the system will assign you to a squad automatically... the next screen you're going to see is number 10) from my previous step list or even number 12)

Any thoughts?

  • I've always thought Apex is great at getting into games quickly. There are 60 players remember! How fast do you need it? Lol. It takes about 1 minute to get into a game, every single time for me.

    I'd stay away from ranked if I were you. Wait time may be a touch longer.

    If this process is affected by network speed, then I understand what the problem is: my DSL connection is not good at all... I usually have the 'latency' icon on the screen but can't really do much about it (just wait for some Internet operator to deploy some fiber optic on my area) ☹️

    If network speed has nothing to do with it (and I'm using a SSD drive), then I'm more impatient than I thought XD
