Hello? Developers?

Apex Legends on Console Is in a Horrible State, and the Developers Need to Be Held Accountable.

Apex Legends is getting harder and harder to enjoy, especially on console. Between cheaters, DDOS attacks, suspicious players, and ranked matches being ruined, it feels like the people who actually play this game are being completely ignored.

How are we still dealing with DDOSing and cheating in a competitive game that has been around for years? People spend hours grinding ranked, trying to improve, and pushing for higher ranks, only to have their games ruined by people who exploit the system. What is the point of a ranked mode if players can’t compete on a fair playing field?

And the most frustrating part is the lack of meaningful action that console players can actually see. We keep hearing about updates, balance changes, legend reworks, and future roadmaps, but what good is any of that if the fundamental competitive experience is still being ruined? Nobody cares about another legend adjustment when they can’t even trust the integrity of their ranked matches.

Console players deserve better. We deserve effective anti-cheat measures, real consequences for exploiters, protection against DDOS attacks, and communication that goes beyond vague promises. Stop treating the cheating problem like it’s something the community should simply learn to live with.

Apex has the gameplay to be one of the best competitive shooters out there, but gameplay alone isn’t enough to keep people around. Players will eventually get tired of investing their time into a game where fair competition feels optional.

The question is simple: how much longer are console players supposed to put up with this before the developers make fixing the actual game a priority?

At some point, the community needs more than promises. We need results.

    I  agree. I hope developers take this poster’s opinion seriously.

    I feel that the developers are too heavily focused on new features and flashy updates. In reality, the absolute prerequisite of a competitive game—"fairness and integrity (power balance, violation prevention, and matchmaking accuracy)"—is broken, and the game is no longer functioning properly.

    •  "power balance" here does not refer strictly to specific weapon or legend adjustments.
    • "Violations" are not limited only to external third-party cheats.
    •  "matchmaking issues" are not exclusive to high-tier ranks (Diamond and above), but represent a shared challenge across all rank tiers.

     

    This issue is not limited to the console version; it is a fundamental problem that runs through all of *Apex Legends*, including PC. I strongly believe the development team needs to re-evaluate their update priorities and resource allocation.

    Right now, Apex is like a bodybuilder who only trains their upper body while neglecting their legs—a total chicken leg. That gets zero art points, right?

  • Don't forget the constant nerf to Console controller aim assist. Hell, the last one Respawn wasn't even going to say anything. 0.3 aim assist and forced lobbies against PC players with superior movement and aim, yet they keep nerfing console into the ground!
