Season 16. I would suggest playing arenas this season before the next season drops.
@Cheese9Man
I'd rather not see the only mode I actually enjoy on apex leave or become an ltm.
But with the way the matchmaking has been, I haven't been playing. Even ranked is an unfair * fest of smurfs and uneven matches.
If they fixed it I'd play more. As it is, there's no interest in the amount of frustration from any of their game modes.
If they got rid of arenas, they'd probably loose even more of their player base. Arenas still has it issues with leavers and cheaters and smurfs, but IMO it has more potential as an actual team based game mode than br and any of these other trash modes they've been coming out with.
Control was fine, I actually liked control and wish it had stayed, but gun run? Screw that mess.

I doubt that they’ll lose a lot of arenas exclusive players compared to the retention rate of players staying for multiple modes for gun run and control.
I’m sorry but Apex will never perfectly fit for arenas because the core design of the legends are for BR. Even the newest legend, Catalyst, has a passive for doors which Arenas maps doesn’t have a lot of. Same with Ash’s deathbox passive.
The questions I got on the survey sort of suggested that they are deciding whether or not to just get rid of arenas. Like it or not, it's a very small fraction of the player base playing arenas on the regular outside of finishing BP challenges. The changes to the BP challenges this season and last, along with lots of LTMs, probably reduced that number even further.
@XxColdFangxXYeah I agree that’s my point. If they really want for arenas to stay relevant they should support it more. Even their gun balance changes are just reactionary.
Over the seasons you can see Respawn moving away from arenas. They even removed arena challenges and just called non-BR challenges so that arenas can be in line with the other LTMs.
Me wanting to remove arenas in exchange for LTMs is not because I hate the mode that much. It’s because Respawn keeps talking about splitting the player base.
Sorry I disagree.. probably because most of my friends are core arena players as opposed to BR. It will never die it just needs some Love from respawn n a few legends that cater to arenas and close quarter to mid range fighting. I found the solution to RP and matchmaking system for arena aswell I posted it on another thread earlier
