Rate Apex Legend’s Season 11 Escape

The season is about to end with only 2 weeks left of the thematic event and 1 week of absolutely nothing. The only remaining thing left is the seasonal teasers for the season 12 legend on the 21st (look at the sky in SP 😉). So from 1-10, 10 being the best season that apex had ever to 1 being absolute unplayable trash, what rating will you give this season?

Side note: Technically the Apex anniversary day will still fall on S11 but they’ll probably push that to S12. I doubt that they’ll only allot 1 week for the anniversary. 

Here’s a quick summary of what we got and some other things this season

1. NEW BR MAP- STORM POINT

The biggest thing about this season. It’s a welcome edition to the roster of maps but it didn’t blow most of players away. It’s aethetically pleasing to the eyes but playing pubs in this map is just “okay”.

2NEW LEGEND - ASH

I actually love Ash and she’s a very nice addition to the roster. Lore-wise she is great and it’s great that we got another villain in the apex legends. She’s not too powerful nor too weak. Respawn didn’t pull off that OP Seer gimmick with a ready-to-go nerf. Hoping that we get more variety with the legends outside of mobility or recon legends.

3NEW WEAPON - CAR SMG

It’s alright. It didn’t change anything when it comes to the gun meta. It was actually the previous season’s new weapon that changed the meta. It’s just an R99 that can use 2 ammo types in exchange for a slightly more difficult recoil pattern.

3.5 Dual Shell Hop-up

I love this hop-up so much and it’s how hop-ups should be. Now let’s get rid of the shattercap rounds and bring back select fire for the prowler and havoc.

4. LTM - Winter Express

It’s still the best LTM but it’s still a recycled LTM used to test out the gun loadouts of the mode coming this year.

5. Collection Event - Raiders event

We didn’t get a town takeover for the first time and we didn’t get a new music pack for a CE. The skins are also meh. Sad.

6. Thematic Event: Dark Depths and NEW ARENAS MAP - Habitat

The thematic event is just like the halloween event where they try to sell more things but I like that it will add to existing pool of skins so that we can get from regular apex packs. The new arenas map, like Storm Point, looks great but it’s stuck in a mode that not a lot of people play.

Other stuff

Servers - Best season ever when it comes to the servers. Recently it has been a bit unstable but in general was great and had no troubles. 

Battlepass - Not the best but I like the Gibby skin (biased of course). 

Cheaters/Exploits - Don’t really notice any cheaters at all in this game (I know about strikepacks) in all honesty except when I party up with my PC friends where the cheats are blatant/obvious. The exploits has been a big topic this season with the Sentinel/Rampage bug but that’s a PC issue again. Haven’t seen people do the speed glitch yet but I saw some exploiting the broken invisible walls in Antenna in SP.

Lore - I hate this style of story telling. I already read a lot of chat apps for my job and in my social media sites so I don’t want it in apex. Bring back the comics instead. No bloodhound style lore but I guess that budget will go to the S12 teasers. Bangalore STFO is a meh and the skin is meh. Stop the fan service of bringing out pilots when you’re only opening up the wounds of the TF2 community. Also, why did they put pilot helmets in the banner frames in the BP where non of the upcoming skins will have those style? 

Rating: 6.5 out of 10

Like what I’ve said for Ash, the CAR, and Stormpoint, that they’re just okay, that’s how the season feels, just okay. When you list all of the new things this season, it seems that we got a lot of content but most of this was just at the start of the season while leaving us to dry midway and at the end of the season. SP is a nice addition as well as Ash and the CAR SMG. They could have done much better with the LTM. No towntakeover was just sad. Also, stop promising us LTMs when you’re not gonna delivery. 

What’s you’re rating? As much as possible please don’t do the steam reviews style of 0 out of 10. Let’s be as constructive as possible. LOL.

    @Cheese9Man I'm pretty negative but i'll give an overall 6:

    - Ash is a good legend and it's a viable alternative to Wraith.

    - I like Stormpoint but i think it's too big and prowlers can be a problem too often.

    - Servers side it's the same of the last seasons, so not commenting on that lol.

    - Am i the only one that really doesn't like the Car? Flatline is much better and i prefer the R99 if i want an smg.

    - The absolute lack of content this season made it very boring for me, especially this split. Thankfully Respawn said before the launch of the season that new ltms would be back. 

    - We had tons of bugs and glitches this season, and every time they fix one, you can find a new one in the game.

    I really hope something changes in S12, but if they're really changing SP and leaving Olympus like it this, i'm already negative about it.

  • @Cheese9Man Smite is not bad at all, aside from looking so absolutely and incredibly stupid.  That's, again, the problem I see...the more they want to try to appeal to the masses, the more dumb and inconsistent their art.  

    But then again, do I play Apex for it's art more or it's game play?

    I'm not going to lie, theme and art carry a lot for me.  But simply put, when I play Smite, I'm playing for a multiple in minutes of the time it takes to load a game, and most of those minutes are enjoyable.  Apex is not so much a Battle Royale as a load screen run and loot game, or you engage right away and then you are now on a fraction of play minutes versus load time.  Like most games these days, the goal is to make you anticipate playing a game more than actually playing it, which means less work needed for more gambling bucks and worst of all, your time.  Those wasted minutes are not coming back, and their wasted unless you absolutely love watching your load screen, and waiting for a revive, or playing a team game alone and advancing through the ranks, which is actually how you do it.

    Yeah, Smite looks stupid but it has a lot of other things going for it that Apex does not.

  • 1. The map is fine. Started to be able to find my way around. And also having mapped most of it in my head so I know where to rotate through depending on zones and so on. Sadly people have found those few spots they all int on so the main problem of the game persists: 6-7 squads left when ring 1 is closing.

    Oh, but get that PvE bs out of the game ASAP!

    2. Ash is nothing special. Ult worse than Wraith's, tac worse than Valk's, and a broken passive like the 3 newest characters are all flawed by.

    3. Meh gun, saved by having an (too) easy time getting mag upgrades.

    3.5 All op guns should use a legendary hop-up to be op, like Havoc e.g., and be a bit meh without said hop-up, Havoc e.g., instead of all this recoil-nerf bs. Don't know about this particular hop-up though, doesn't really seem to do much on guns that are fine and/or balanced already.

    4. Great fun, I had. Mostly great fun anyway.

    Servers: Been pretty s*** on occasion. Only been playing for a week, so don't know how they were at the beginning of the season.

    Bp: S***

    Rating: Don't know. Sbmm still a problem where I get Fragment muppets who insta die fast, people who do nothing in fights, both, or just that I get to be an unpaid babysitter against full badge 3-stack diamond+ teams.

    Crossplay still a problem. Still the only player in queue if I turn it off (which it should be by default).

    Compared to season 9 where sbmm felt better, servers were better, two broken passives fewer, etc.... Let's say 5. But! Beautiful new map, which is so detailed. I don't know how people can conjure up such vivid map creations. So 6.

    Season 11 I absolutely loved it. 

    Map is beautiful I've gotten the most wins on this map than any other in such a long time. It is big but I don't much care. Yall know I like the AI cause as I've said theyr not hard to deal with. Now we all know theyr not going anywhere so the request to remove them from just ranked and paying them Passive until attacked in pubs is more reasonable.

    Ash is really fun perfectly balanced 

    C.A.R... eh it's a neat concept but that extra ammo just takes up more room in your back pack unless you run heavy light weapons And then it's situational if you run out of one or the other to switch 

    Pirate collection and winter express I didn't get to experience due to Christmas stuff and Christmas in my family can last into January cause there's so many of us. I saw like two videos on them they seemed alright.

    Battle pass not too great legendary skins for Mirage and Gibraltar seem like a combination of islander and post apocalyptic warrior leaning more towards the latter. Didn't quite seem to fit and then there's the packs. Yaaaayyyy another banner frame in my legendary pack of which I won't use. Got a legendary seer emote in my epic pack so there's that. The thematic pack I earned this week could have gotten me a legendary or epic skin or a nice banner pose, but I got a crab gun charm... very disappointing.

    Habitat 4 is beautiful and gives more lore to the Leviathans

    lore wise I'd still like just a bit more to be released 

    As for having worlds edge in rotation specifically referring to fragment. It needs to die! Purge it with $@#/*^× fire! Purge it from out our lives! 

    Other than that it's the usual stuff dumb team mates refusing to do what needs to be done and blaming everything else but themselves for costing the game. 

    Overall 7.5-8

  • Season 11 - mehhh, borderline blahh. 

    Was disappointing to see Season 11 go right to the end with Seer's passive un-touched. 

    Cheating, smurfing etc.... all time worst from Season 10 to end of Season 11. 

    Lack of content....seriously.  Battle pass I personally thought was absolutely pathetic in every sense. Just seems to get worse and worse every Season. Those battle pass skins are awful. Looks like a pre-school class (grade 4) designed the gun skins. Sad. 

    Storm Point - Seems like they made it with optics in mind more than anything. ( Vanity)  - and forgot that the map actually still had to be playable for a BR. 

    WE fragment still destroying what used to be a great map. RIP WE. 

    Reveal meta direction is chaos and ruining the game....in every way. Stop Respawn. No more reveal meta for abilities. If you can't think of anything else - to avoid another Seer F*xk up..... just stop making legends. 

    Sound still a plaguing issue. 

    And the "BUY NOW', BUNDLE, LAST CHANCE TO BUY, PURCHASE NOW, SPEND, BUY, GIVE US YOUR MONEY" - seeing more of this season 11 than ever before - has tainted me more than the broken sound engine. The fact that despite the constant issues.... selling us garbage skins and more crap that's over priced, instead of fixing issues, brings my number this season down to a solid    2.5/10. I will go as high as 3/10 but feel it wasn't earned this time around.
