Lack of motivation for OG player.
First and foremost, Apex is still my go to game, it’s still somewhat fun to play, but…..I’m getting kinda bored, and I’m not one to relinquish because of in game changes/buffs/nerfs, that doesn’t rea...

@apostolateofDOOM also if the game has been dead for a long time why did s5 have the biggest launch. And Shiv and Diego arent the only big apex streamers.
And sure go on nitpicking on a freaking video game that doesn't affect anyone.

@RustedYoda Don't take any of my views personally as they're not specifically directed at you but don't think the only problem this game has is a bit of audio as that's pretty naïve. Also if you enjoy the game and you spend money then i'm happy for you but it's not something i will any more.
It's not a case of ''i don't like the game so it's dead''.. i have seen a graph somewhere (actually been looking for it since last reply and i'll post when i find it) but it showed a huge reduction in PC players compared to consoles. If we have such a healthy amount of players then why are preds being mixed all the way down to bronze? Or why am i being matched with the same players each day in various ranks not my own. As i said earlier, take away a handful of known streamers whose viewers would follow them anywhere and you'll see the lack of interest. Fyi i don't use twitch views as a gauge as it's to easily manipulated in various ways but it was brought up earlier.
Your argument of everyone enjoying the game in it's current state and happily spending money on it is wrong as my own opinion, many friends, competitive players, comments online on other formats including this forum have stated they're not prepared to spend more till these things are addressed. You can't have 2 million concurrent players, have half leave with a good portion being vocal about these issues and saying that all the players remaining are happy... 😛
As to biggest launch S5, we have a massive increase in repeated smurf accs compared to previous seasons (still rising) and with the introduction of Quests will give the statistic of higher player engagement which they have already said.
@MandatoryIDtag Not long but i know i get put into servers other than the one selected (London) and have ranks completely mixed often having sub level 100 golds in diamond.
Just to clarify, i'm not saying PC is dead or even Apex as a whole is dying but RANKED PC EU is.
@hayhor I don't watch them so no idea. Easier to get pred in plat lobbies? 😇
- @apostolateofDOOM i totally respect not liking the game and not want to spend money on it and trust me ik this game has more issues than just footstep audio but the positives for me outweigh the negatives. And yeah im not saying everyone is happy with the game rn but what ive seen is that after the armor revert, a lot of the community is happy.
Also may i ask why you thing comp on pc is dead? - @RustedYoda I just had a bronze teammate in Plat lobby. I don't like the ranked RP design tbh. Yeah, Apex runs better than other BRs for me but some issues are longstanding.
About the armor revert, nobody asked for that in the first place. Good thing Devs realized their mistake sooner and acted on it quickly for the sake of players. @RustedYoda Well ranked is the competitive mode and as i said earlier there aren't that many top tier players EU otherwise we wouldn't have such mixed ranks constantly. So it's either declining ranked players or ranked is completely broken. Neither bodes well for the comp scene.
Active player participation from USA is roughly 38.92% so i assume it's much better over there but they server jump to EU anyway.. Many players have spoken of the poor pay out for ALGS. Think someone calculated that even if you won one a year, after splitting it you would earn more in a job at McDonalds. Not very lucrative for an e sport and many putting their eggs into streaming instead.
Also with crashes at tournaments, initial poor legend + weapon balancing (granted it has improved), general poor stability and/or reliability and atrocious audio. Respawn have a reputation now of not getting these things fixed asap (for whatever reason) and not something people want to bank their income on.
Not to mention lowering the skill ceiling with well over a handful of updates now.
@apostolateofDOOM You're 100% being put into queues other than London server mate. I was literally talking to Vernon and Ghost about this the other day lol, we just get chucked straight into EU lobbies. I think warzone/fortnite is probably much more popular in the UK than apex is. 😛
- @BaldWraithSimp Oh the bronze thing might have been a match making error cuz i dont think that they arent enough players in plat/gold to in any region fill a lobby. And the revert kinda proves that if theres a huge amount of the player base wanting something the devs listen (atleast some times)
- @apostolateofDOOM i will have to agree that the pro scene in this game is kinda dead but in my eyes the base game is doing fine but thats just me
