Knockout is a glitch fest
I just tried knockout for the first time. Not only did my shots do nothing to the enemies (which is the usual experience most people are having right now in all modes of apex), but the enemies were ...

@reconzero I've never successfully defended a zone and not moved on in the mode. The thing is tho there are multiple rounds and your points reset each round so doing it once will not be enough. There are also other ways to earn points, such as getting Evo and opening the red bin. Actually, opening the red bin in round 3 is almost a guaranteed advance as it gives 50 points. My friend will die and look for one when coming out of the ship. The mode is horrific with randoms. None of them know how to get or keep a zone. And none seem to get that on the final drop you need to land in a good spot relative to the last point, which is not in the middle. I'll only play it with friends.
As for why people like the other modes over traditional Apex BR. Because it's still BR but with a twist. This means you still get BR feels but with the good feels from other types of modes. For me there isn't one or the other and a BR doesn't mean it has to be a certain way. Heck each BR outside of Apex has different rules so you can't even say a BR has to be a certain way.

Every time I play one of these LTMs I feel like I'm seeing the bad movie version of a great book I once read. The book is full of characterization, plot points, maybe even a little action. The movie is just action, action, action all the time. Run and gun, run and gun, run and gun. Maybe you don't even have to run all that much. I don't know. I guess this is just the cranky old man in me.
I'd be the last one to say that Respawn shouldn't try new things, but it's starting to feel as if they aren't trying new things. They're trying one single old thing over and over again with, as you say, a slightly different twist each time. I can't help every single time feeling as if what I'm playing is "dumbed down" compared to trios. I get that they're trying to give me new things to learn, but I'd like it better if the new things were in addition to all the stuff I've already had to learn instead of making me feel like I don't really need any of the old stuff at all. Except the gun mechanics. Which, as you know, are not my favorite part of the game.
