I uninstalled the game after 25 seasons

Good decision. TTK, but still keeping the powerful Ash for the next +/- 45 days (new split) is a joke. One character has a multiple advantage over everyone for half a year and nothing has been done about it. In the new split, Ash will also have +50HP for being knocked down. This is sick.

We are waiting until s26 to see if some people will finally get smarter and draw any conclusions from their stupid changes since Ash's rework.

Best regards.

Typical rant with little to no objective proof?

I am a much older player vs average age in Apex and have had pretty much the same experience since season 7.

There has always been OP weapons that deleted you instantly pretty much: wingman, pk, hemlock, double-tap g7, automatic prowler, akimbos, havoc, devotion, vatage's ult.

Only thing that was and still is plaguing this game is hackers and inability to deal with them.

If before you could insta-knock someone mostly via very good coordination of target focusing - was possible even with two out of three people being on the same page in comms and mechanics - now it is more and more possible just via hacks. Your typical nowadays 30-30 masters, g7 masters, never miss charged sentinel shot masters, to lesser extent bow masters.

I don't know how much people record their games and revisit situations of the game but for me it is clear as night and day, I often even predict and call hacker pushes in advance because difference between legit good player/team and hacker/hacker team is just day and night. If legit scenario you still have a good feeling about the fight, it is tough but you are in it. In hacker fights you are always on a back-foot and it escalates almost instantly and you never have this feeling of 50/50.

That is just the sate of the game, have to accept or quit it but it has nothing to do with ttk or for sure not the main issue of the game.

I agree as being an older player who enjoyed the game to pass the time that it is almost unplayable.  I started gaming in the early 80's on the old Delta Force games. I was in a clan that we would police our servers and catch cheaters. Also had my own server for Battlefield games and used to police it and kick/ban cheaters. I have only been playing for less than a year and I am not a bad player and learned this game by spending lots of time on the range to learn the guns and their firing patterns. in a typical TDM or Control match I can get 6 - 8 kills... in a BR match 2 - 4. Now with all the blatant cheaters I am starting to hate the game.  Five of my friends have already quit the game and my grandson refuses to play it due to all the cheaters. EA must be really proud of what they allow (getting a kickback from the cheat coders maybe).  There was a post in the forum a few months back by an EA admin... that said "we can't stop cheaters, play until the game is not fun anymore then quit".  What kind of attitude is that? 

I am a spreadsheet kind of guy and a data analyst... It should be really easy to gather metrics on those that have a high KD ratio, HS ratio and high hit probability to see that they are using some kind of tool.  Spectate them and then permanent ban their MAC address... that way they need to buy a new hardware... There are several YouTube videos that show cheaters and the tools they use - start there, 2nd there are several (90%) of the Twitch accounts that you can spectate and you can see the crosshair movement of the aim assist in their videos. Many are Master and Predator level players. No one would watch their channels if they were not doing well.

Also, think of all these low self esteem kids that grow up thinking that "it is OK to cheat", "the only way to succeed is by cheating".  All I can say is - Karma is going to bite hard one day... and GOD doesn't sleep.  :-)

I am old (nearly 58) and hardly played the last two seasons but I am enjoying this one. I play on console, though. I tried PC and gave up after 20 minutes lol.

I switched mains (Fuse to Ballistic) which upped my enjoyment. My KDR is much lower, but I used to be an absolute beast with the Hemlock until they nerfed it.

It's funny. The ttk is too low. And is a reason to uninstall the game. A good reason. But it's far from the only reason. There are a lot of problems I would have put higher up the list. But it doesn't really matter how we count back our change when what we've been sold is a steaming pile of "don't give a crap."

What I will say in the dev's defense is that at least this season they've made a real effort, the first I've ever seen from any dev of any game I've ever played, to keep the left side of the skill curve from becoming a sewer of wide-range matchmaking. The left side of the course is pretty tight, I assume in an effort to make entry into the game something other than completely impossible. The smurfs are still legion, but somehow they seem less odious than getting a match where the range spans from the bottom of the curve to the top. Those used to be common. Now they're rare. Little victories.

I uninstalled a couple weeks back from PC. Tried one last time on PS4 about 3 days ago, and uninstalled there too. 

No more fun at all in it. Titanfall 3 is confirmed canceled. Nothing in this IP for me anymore. And the Lore has turned into a joke. 

I installed it after the new split came in. After 2 hours it was enough for me to say that this game is a bigger piece of garbage than it was.

Uninstalled again and we wait another 41 days for the developers to restore balance to this game. If not - it's time to forget about it completely.

God, but this game is really unbalanced **bleep** now... Is this some kind of beta? XD

It's bad enough that we have a meta of characters - Ash/Ballistic/Sparrow/Alter, which in most of them has been bothering us for half a year, now we have the mighty Wattson to sell as many mythical skins as possible.

Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic. I have no words for how you've brought this game to ruin.

I'm glad that people have finally woken up and are making it clear to you where they stand with you. :)

Keep destroying this game. That's what you're doing best so far.

You wanted to introduce the greatest chaos in the game and a total lack of balance between everything? You've succeeded 100%. Congratulations.

You fully deserved this result and if you don't change your approach to this game - I wish you another -30k online in the next month.

Flying Ash has been destroying everything and everyone for almost half a year - you gave her an additional health restoring buff.

You made Wattson powerful to sell as many of her event skins as possible.

You are nothing more than a monetized company to rob us of money for your own gains while destroying a 6 year old game.

Sell this project to someone else who will treat it with LOVE and RESPECT, because both EA and Respawn don't have that anymore.

Yeah I could not agree more regarding legend changes and I am sad to see how many people in the community actually are "buying" this s#@! figuratively and literary.

Health restore for Ash is basically as OP as Revs Ult when it was "indestructible".
Number of Wattson players per lobby has increased and most of them still are really bad, now they just have a bit longer stay in bunkered houses if they manage to put down at least once fence per game. Yet all without exception are rocking new skins, emotes from what I have seen. On the one hand - thanks for keeping this game alive, on the other had - pain to play with such players.

As for player base - yeah, that is sad, yet well deserved.
Switched to playing with Discord LFG a month ago, now after demotion went from P2 to D4 in this few day span and what I see in EU LFG is basically 10 other players at D4 level and maybe 20-30 P2/P1 but same faces as before. Played soloq last night - got matched by same <10 players like 5 games in a row, pity I was not recording as Respawn managed to do something with the game a season ago that makes OBS + Apex unplayable for my hardware = lagging as crazy.

I have a feeling that only playable servers these days are NA and when that runs dry / is infested with hackers / people are tired of playing in lobbies where Gold meets Preds, that will be it - turn the lights off and shut the door.

I've been saying for a long time that EU is a waste of time. The number of cheaters like wallhacks or scripts for weapon recoil is outrageously high. Nothing has been done about it yet.

The way this game balances in terms of characters and weapons deserves as many people as possible to leave this game to show them that they have completely destroyed it.

They probably don't even care, but I'm very glad that people have seen the light and moved away from this broken project.

If not Respawn and EA, then cheaters will finish this game off this year.
