Matchmaking in Apex vs Apex Mobile
Yes, yes, I know, this board is not about Apex Legends Mobile.
But, out of curiosity, I finally tried it. And oh my sweet baby Jesus is it ever rigged toward new players.
How do I know? Well, those of you that know me know I am at best 'Meh' at Apex Legends. I know tactics and ring awareness, but am just a bit to slow and the moving and shooting part. My best kill streak is 4. I have only been the kill leader twice. This is a normal "good match for me:
But this, this was game #2, EVER, in Apex Legends Mobile for me:
Nine kills? Almost 1700+ damage? A SOLO WIN!?
There is no way the matchmaking in Mobile isn't slanted to trick you into spending cash on the game. This was playing with a touchscreen for crying out loud!
That said, there are some Quality of Life things in this game I would love to see in regular Apex:
- Auto Looting (you can set it to take cells, med-packs, matching ammo automatically when you have room in your bag).
- The ability to request characters other than just hovering over it.
- Incoming fire direction indicator ON THE MINIMAP. I don't think it's 100% accurate, but dang if that doesn't make the ability to know which way to duck for cover easier.
- Firefight indicator on the minimap (if you are close enough) - lets you know exactly where the gunfire you hear is coming from.
- 3rd person view option (no more backing myself into a corner)
- I am not sure, but I think there was also a closest sound direction indicator, but I can't be 100% sure.
There is some nice things in this game that would be nice to see in the real thing. Or the new PvE game...
