Re: Apex Legends : Quality of Life Improvement Requests

A better match making system ?

that takes your stat's and puts you with same stat players in the game,

or something.

Beccause Some player are either trolling, or just don't care. It would give the game a little bit more consistancy Imo.

    @RevenanT-G7That is called "Ranked". You play with people who also had the ability to reach the same level.

    let me clearify  we need this in Regular [aka Casual] mode as well.

    I don't play ranked unless I have people on. I'm not playing with randoms that leave you to die.

    I tried rank with randoms and It's not even a suitable game mode for me with them.

    @RevenanT-G7 so, if a predator is in the unranked lobby, you want him teamed up with other predators or diamonds, while some poor noobs that are just learning get stuck together with no one to guide them only to die 20 seconds after landing, mowed by the team of champions? Surely a fast way to get the playerbase reduced to 5-10%.

    Another thing: you have a problem with this matchmaking in ranked, why do you want it applied in casual as well then? You want the same problems with rage quitting on top?

    Not a predator though in regular mode, But a player that already put in his / her's dues.

    Example a level 300 shouldn't be paird with a level 20 - 30 player should at least be paired with someone that is at least a level 50 - 80. Being paired with new players that don't understand the game and how it's played is very annoying and frustrating to say the least. when your trying to rotate but  the level 20 wants to sit at the edge of the ring to try and fight a team by him self.

    Rage quitting happens just as much as in casual as it does in ranked which is why i don't play ranked if I don't have a team on [ too frustrating]. I'll be happy If respawn added a penaty to "Casual mode" as well as Ranked.

    Your stats still count in casual mode at the end of the day so why not.

    You say this will reduce the player base by 5 - 10%, I can't see this happening since this is a F2P game there will always be new people coming in playing. Since  you don't have to pay that $30 - $65  price tag.

    @RevenanT-G7 It really depends on the players available in the queue. In unranked, it's normal to see a lot of beginners and a few high level players looking for 20 bombs, especially when a new season starts or a new map is introduced. It's unfair to have the high level players grouped up against teams of beginners.

    I really doubt leaving happens as often in ranked as in casual. If it would, a lot of players would actually be 1-2 tiers lower than they are.

    I didn't say "by 5-10%", but "to 5-10%". The lack of a price tag makes a lot of people try Apex, but also allows for easy abandonment, since "freeloaders" won't feel like losing their investment.

    I think probably the best solution would be to have a lobby especially for players that are between lvl 1-50. They wouldn't be forced to use that lobby but it would give new players a place to practise using the weapons and such without coming face to face with a platinum player every 5mins.

    Using this lobby would reduce XP gain by 25% and stats would not be counted, challenges would still work as normal.

    Should hopefully take a lot of the new players out of the regular lobbies, while not restricting them.
  • @Cabowse This would be just like increasing the level limit for beginners' queue, from 10 to 50. Don't know what to say, it feels a bit too much, maybe 20-30 would be better. Can't even tell how much it took me to reach level 10, but I'm not sure the game had a beginners' queue when I signed up. All I remember is that it was frustratingly hard in the first few hours.

    @DoYaSeeMe I think that is fine really, having played with a relatively new player for a while I found that he only really started picking it up properly around the 70 mark. So capping a beginner queue at 50 sounds fine to me.
  • Added a few more additions around the firing range & a few of the legends.

    More suggestions welcome!!

    I think the level 70 mark is where a lot of us starting to understand the game more. Apex legends is not your run of the mill type of BR game. You just can't go grab a gun and start firing at people you may get a knock but you probably be greeted with tons of rounds coming your way and fully armored enemies.

    I'll be ok with a queue cap at 50, by then you should understand what to do and not to do. The basic's is essential and just like any game Apex legends is always evolving. 

    The last couple of night I'm being teamed with low level when not playing in my group / premade squad. Like really low level's 1 - 5, so there is a new influx of players coming in.

    @RevenanT-G7 Yeah I think you're right, I think because lvl 50 seems so far away from me now it feels really really low

    1. Ability to view team mates kit so weapons attachments, ammo count, heals count etc. 2 reasons - You can know the capabilities and limitations as a group before proposing an engagement and you can proactively drop attachments etc without them asking or vice versa you can request.

    I may even decide to carry ammo type I don't need just to be a mule for a team mates' benefit to drop later if I have excess space to use and I will know when to drop some for him when I see he is running low.

    Adds another element of team play sharing is caring attitude and tactical awareness to game.

    As not everyone speaks same language. This would make communication about eachother's gear more effective.

    Maybe ability to request a weapon you are searching for on ground as well. Already mentioned but so useful so reminding again.

    It is all about adding more communication methods if there is no Mic or language barrier in order to relay intentions, awareness, possessions and acknowledgement.

    2. Ability to ping your own level 1 gear to indicate that you are seeking higher level 2 gear etc. "I need an extended light magazine level 2 or more".

    3. Remove ground drop/care package drop for level 2 and above for armour. Actively encourages players to participate in battles to upgrade knowing they have to for surviving final ring closures where most squads are higher geared up.

    4. Already mentioned but hope it can come soon. Outside of in game I wish I had an "optional" saved character preselection set, so I don't have to manually pick per match making session.

    i.e.

    1. Bloodhound

    2. Lifeline

    3. Wraith

    So it will automatically pick in that order depending on which one(s) team mates have already taken.

    Means I can sit back with my coffee and not have to pay attention to quickly watch other player choices and choose character until time to start landing.
