Game favors camping

I killed 10 people been pushing all game finish off a team get insta 3rded I knock 1 they set port I hit port and get insta knocked bc they all just hard scoped port sat and waited there. Stop favoring camping it ruins the game!!!!!!! They won that game to from camping and hiding all game and it’s not just pubs or ranked I’ve played mixtapes and other game modes where ppl do the same shii. how is that fun? it ruins the game for ppl who actually know how to play. I mean put a marker on a team or something if they stand still long enough you can’t keep favoring ts were done most ppl who play apex hate the game. I’m day 1 player and ready to delete it. Not even just that my bar is pretty much maxed and even when it is maxed the game gives me terrible teammates wtf is that? MM 1000% doesn’t work for mixtape matches bc I will get 1v3 over and over and over while I can see my teammates sitting there or hiding or just missing every shot. In conclusion the games dying fix **bleep** before we’re gone bc we’re ready. I used to play this game everyday now I play a 10 year old game that’s better than this one lmk how? Honestly it’s prolly br, br is so overplayed so just nonsensical just favors terrible players, favors a 3v20 it’s not fun anymore and nice job getting rid of arenas ik ppl don’t play it but i do bc br is horrible.

  • This game uses shooter mechanics but it is primarily a survival game mode. It seems like you have a lock on the first part but somehow keep forgetting the second part. If you're going to chase every kill you can get your hands on then that's all well and good, but you have to have learned by now that's not a reliable path to victory. If you're looking for a game where mechanical skills = wins then you should be playing an arena shooter, not a battle royale.

    Br has changed it wasn’t always like this it’s kinda been pushed to become toxic. I liked arenas and ur probably right ab that I just don’t understand it survival is just camping sniping and spray than 3rd everything u hear I don’t see any of that being fun. I used to play to win but it kinda ruins it like u can’t have both anymore bc a constant 3rd party but it’s not just that it’s become a camping simulator for half the ppl in these lobbies. 9/10 you’re gonna get the kill if u just sit there and wait scoped in makes it feel like there’s no point in even moving u get what I mean? 1 person does it and sooner or later everybody’s just sitting in buildings waiting for ppl to walk by or in

     

    edit: also I play this game for mechanics the movement, cod never really had movement like this but when people aren’t using the movement there’s no point. This also ties into mnk vs controller but I don’t even wanna go there rn lol.

    "Br has changed it wasn’t always like this"

    I'm not really sure that BR has changed at all. I think what's happened is that a lot of players in the early days wanted to play BR exactly the same way they played all the arena shooters they came out of. And that worked to a point. But, as some YouTuber said, over time players will optimize the fun out of the game. Why run around trying to execute a lot of very high-risk engagements when you could just be patient, loot up, find your position, and wait for the final two? Is it lazy? Or is it efficient? Truth is, it's both. But what it also is very likely to be is successful. And people do what works. Or what the ranking system chooses to reward. I can't hold either one against them.

    "it’s kinda been pushed to become toxic."

    I'm gonna take exception to the use of the word "toxic." Cheating is toxic. Camping might be "irritating" or "anti-competitive" or "lazy," but I wouldn't call it toxic.

    "I don’t see any of that being fun."

    And there's the real argument in a nutshell, and I respect the opinion completely. I don't share it, but I've been playing long enough to know that different people find their fun in sometimes very different ways. I guess the problem comes when you can't reconcile game objectives with personal objectives. It's something I struggle with every day in every match.

    "1 person does it and sooner or later everybody’s just sitting in buildings waiting for ppl to walk by or in"

    I blame the ranking system for the times when it has favored placement over kills. I personally think that's what it should do, but I can also see how that's forcing people to play the game in a way that mostly sucks the fun out of it for them. Taken to its logical conclusion, the game would turn into exactly what you said: a bunch of campers waiting for the circle to close. Tense? Maybe. Fun? Probably not for most people.
