Yep, I totally agree with your statements. EA and/ or Respawn do use streamers, influencers and/ or EA Game Changers for upcoming ideas and/ or feedback so much it's starting to create issues with original design.
Apex Legends wasn't ever designed to be a competitive shooter as core aspects from the original release show that, but Respawn has been slowly trying to turn it into one.
Over time streamers, influencers and/ or EA Game Changers use their community following to spread their narrative and/ or interest without directly understanding that what they're doing is changing the core aspect of Apex Legends.
I myself do not care for competitive Apex Legends, as the title is built upon randomness and/ or too many variations and/ or factors to actually be based around such a claim, "Competitive".
Also, you're totally correct that Respawn likes to force their decisions onto their communities and they directly did this with Arenas.
I think Apex Legends should have distinct modes within the game.
A) Public games should be a collection of fun events and/ or activities.
B) Ranked should be a competitive atmosphere.
At no point should a change to ranked gameplay affect everyone that plays solely in public games. I think Apex Legends started as a movement based first person shooter, but has started to become a camp fest.
