Every single time I think this is the new low...

Worst changes worst season ever in history of apex new olympus is so bad, after wildcare mode 4k's and 20bomb badges lost their meaning completly multiple season solomaster and this ranked season feels unplayable cheater after cheater in BRONZE lobbies! Like THANK GOD!!! I haven't spent a dime in apex or EA games in ages and will not in future either. NO wonder playercount is all time low.

    They've always ignored real problems by editing or adding a new map, a new legend, or some new event with a heirloom or mythic skin.

    Do you think this will change? I don't, but streamers are starting to talk about it more and more on YouTube, so maybe they're only now starting to think about it.

    So far, they haven't even been able to publicly announce that they're aware of how serious this problem is and are working on it. Nothing, zero information, just complete ignorance.

    Legit players - "Let's see what's going on with the game, how many cheaters have taken over various game modes."

    Respawn/EA - "A new event with another heirloom will appear next week."

    This is pretty much how it's been for "x" amount of time. Is this supposed to be serious about players? If they CAN'T deal with this and there will be more and more cheaters, then they should just say it clearly and people like me who are still waiting for something good to happen in this matter will just leave and uninstall this game.

    "Look at this BS with whever that glowing thing on legends backs are now these days...I saw it and my first thought legit was "if I can't turn it off, I will not play this game"."

    LMAO. My thought exactly.

    Best Thing is as always the Matchmaking Update Blog.
    A treasure trove of jokes.
    Best one this time is :

    "The suggestion is a good one, in a world where there are enough solo queue players and premade squad players to keep the matchmaking close to where it is now."

    Newsflash :
    There were more than enough people playing when players started to demand such a thing, wonder why it wasn't possible back then.
    Oh wait, Matchmaking was never about what players wanted, and never will be.
    Same as AA never was about competitive integrity.

    Matchmaking hasn't existed for a long time.

    I'll keep repeating this until I get the point: if you have above-average skill and are playing solo, the game will do everything possible to make you feel like garbage, playing against an entire 4k 20b lobby, and getting significantly weaker teammates.

    And start respecting that some people don't want to play in a 3-stack. For example, when I tried to play in a full team, I always played much worse because I felt more pressured not to let my friends down, so I prefer playing solo q, but right now it's so **bleep** it's beyond words.

    Yeah the AURA was insanely stupid addition I thought it was so hilarious when they remove ranked divetrails cuz you were able to turn it off just because people were hunting some high rank players like what in a game that has so many cheaters who cares bout someone's trail and if it bothers u just turn it off. Recent changes are so bad like the game itself doesn't even feel like apex no longer... I went solo master s17 (not campin) s18 s19. And I can tell this season example ranked is unplayable so many cheaters even in low rank lobbies. Some seasons ranked has been okay but some yeah I know exactly what u mean cheaters in higher ranks that's a fact. Pred rank like almost everyone is wallin especially on PC I have tons of clips how they instantly find u miles away no matter where u are, maybe they just have better gamingchairs LOL. matchmakin is also absolute horror useless fills match after match soloQ has never been as painful as it is now, when u forced to play against cheaters pretty much every single match. nro 1 console pred just got banned yesterday it tells a lot if u able to play for nro 1 pred that long before banhammer.

    Meanwhile, on Reddit they continue to celebrate everything, and if you write anything bad about the game, you are immediately crushed by that community.

    That is the worst part of Reddit.

    At first I thought Reddit is this cool place you can find loads of answers to especially in IT field. Now I understand that it is basically = Riot ban system = as soon as you **bleep** off some kids you get mass reported and removed.

    Reddit is very one sided most of the time, so if you lucky to look for that one side, cool, but if you need clashing opinions, alternative looks on situation = Reddit is just not it.

    Makes me wonder how it managed to grow this big to be fair given above said. There are a lot of fanboys / fangirls :) that's for sure, keeping that beast alive.

    For me game still feels great if I look at it as a game - legends, mechanics (especially after super-glide was "fixed" which I suggested as per this season like 10 seasons ago), goal of the game etc.

    The problem with gaming experience increase because of the community. Look at this #1 Pred (video on Zeus YT) - dude flexes playing with hackers, thinks it is normal, threatens in X Zeus for banning him...AND many people actually stand up to defend the little upset boy there.
    Apex community has grown into this weird thing where everyone wants to be #1 Pred by all means and basically what was D4 hardstuck insult now almost has morphed into "oh you can't reach Pred" insult.

    Also out of boredom I decided to update my knowledge on how many noteworthy streamers are there right now in Apex -> looked up in google -> found a new name I did not see before (starting with E, not to name and shame ppl) -> checked his recent Twitch stream....guess what:

    • playing with aimbot and walls, found like 2 instances in first 3 min of me watching / rewinding his gameplay where he shoots people through walls and rocks :)
    • playing with what seemed to be aimbot using boosters = as soon as he stupidly died, they almost always clutched 2v3 like that's a norm
    • dude talks about titan and other cheats as a joke, trying to downplay the issue

    And that's a top 20 current Apex legends streamer...showing to me clearly that what was fanboy/girl army that supported Hal back in the days where he made community use phrases like "s@#%$ on kids" and did basically the same as every pro/streamer now is still there just diluted to other copies of the same crap.

    If I would classify current streamers and their content I could come up with the list:

    1. Hal - people just watch him because that's what they have done for ages / to tell their friends that they watched his stream even though added value was basically never there
    2. Clowns - many of streamers just clown around (cream, shout, come up with useless challenges, focus more off topic than on the game)
    3. TOPX / challange makers - ones that only stream some sort of ranking videos be it legends or weapons or your "bronze to Pred" runners
    4. Blunt hackers that add 0 value like even less than Hal

     

    There is NO content that actually adds value, explains the game, mechanics, tactics, thought process. Why? Because you can't explain wallhacks and aimbots nor there is a demand for such content where you need to "think", use your brain.

    It is just sad to see that community for some reason(s) thinks it is ok to cheat even if the ultimate goal is not money and fame and continue doing so just to make legit player lives miserable. But it is true on other games e.g. was playing Valorant last night, after like 3 am had 2 games in a row in <Silver (basically nothing worthy in Valorant) lobbies where two blunt aimbotters were farming and boosting "their friends". And I called them out, asked why they do it in Silver lobbies...all I heard were some fragile egos and defensive "kids" in grown up bodies. Yet they clearly thought it was fun.

  • Why does EA and others allow cross platform play? 90% or more are PC players that cheat. I like the cheat where you unload your 2 weapons on a legend and his health bar never goes down. I used to be in the business and blocking cheats is easy but they won’t do it now because 90% plus will be blocked.

    For example, I don't want to play with controllers. What should I do?

    If I see Horizon, Master or Pred badges, and I realize he playing with a controller, it's better to just quit the game. You feel like you're always playing against a cheater.
