Respawn and EA just don’t care. Until they lose money they won’t

They never solve real issues in my opinion. It seems EA/Respawn no we’re hooked on these games and I rarely see actual change based on issues the general consumer has. They only cater to pro players....

@jlyons1823 Now that's not true, EA and Respawn care very much about the game. It's their work, their life, their future.. Now I don't speak for anyone, but based on what I have seen the Devs do, their engagement with the community (not just streamers/famous people), EA community connection program and numerous other things shows me they care deeply about the community.

Everything I have seen from EA tells me they want to and try to provide us with what we want as gamers, while still staying to true to their vision of what they want the game to be. Even putting their own unique spin/flare on some of the ideas suggested here and other places.

You don't get much more responsive than that from a gaming company.

@DarthValtrex Sorry but EA isn’t as great as you think they are. You might be forgetting what happened to Battlefront 2, Mass Effect Andromeda, FIFA, Anthem and Sim City.

    Oh and that recently released BF 2042 game. LOL.
    I have a lot of respect for Respawn but not for EA. Unfortunately that EA corporate greed bleeds into apex from time to time.
    
    Let’s not forget this PR nightmare of a tweet 2 weeks ago where even Vince Zampella (former head of Respawn) face palmed EA.

  @Cheese9Man I don't think you're being fair to them. The game is going through a huge transition. I sort of view it as season 3 when WE was released. I'm hoping with some future updates the RP system is improved and we get a good BR experience out of it + an RP system that works better.
  
  The comments about them being greedy. Come on, some of the Epic skins look better than the legendary skins. You can get the BP for what? $10 or so. Most other games I have played the BP system was $20-30+.. The BP is cheap for all the premium content you get. You also get crafting mats and the BP pays for itself.
  
  Now toss in that if you've played the game since release and done every challenge/event you will have opened 500 packs (enough for a heirloom or mythic skin). Toss in all the awesome content you could get from opening 500 packs.

    @DarthValtrexI was referring to your statement about EA and not Respawn. "Everything I have seen from EA tells me they want to and try to provide us with what we want as gamers, while still staying to true to their vision of what they want the game to be." A lot of former EA devs have said that the vision of some of the games has been drastically changed because of corporate meddling. Let's not forget how they killed Titanfall 2 by releasing it between Battlefield and Call of Duty because they didn't believe in the product. It only got a resurgence due to good word of mouth.

  Oof. 👀
  Not really EA related anymore but this is the current corporate mindset in most of these publishers.

I'm having a hard time believing that I started playing again after playing from launch up to season 3 previously. Made a new account on pc as I came from ps4 and tried rank off the bat. Had my few rookie bot matches then every rookie ranked game after I'm getting slammed by people with over 5k kills rank 500 the whole bag. I've won 5 matches and just hit level 30 but it's like im constantly playing a way higher bracket of matches then i should be after having just started at the bottom. Every team I get is for most part a pair of window lickers and I'm not a pro by any means, while everyone else I vs knows how to play the game well. I think the games in a trash state compared to when I used to play the skill gap wasn't as bad as this in games. There's no fun in it now because the lobby's are time based match making so you get slapped with who ever is available rather then skill based matchmaking cause the skill of the groups im vsing don't reflect the tiers by a long shot
