For me, personally, it's a 4 out of 10 and the only thing I loved about it was Gun Run. On the other hand, for the general community of Apex, I think it's a 7 out of 10 because of the push for more LTMs during the Halloween season. 2. What's your current hype level for season 15 out of 10? 6 out of 10. Other than the map, I'm not excited about anything for the new season. Would love to have some quality of life features. Polish your game Respawn.

Well, checking my stats, the only seasons I played less than this one was seasons 7 and 8 (Horizon and Fuse introductions).My most played season is season 9 (Valk introduction). Because that was when I finally realized Apex seemed familiar because it was set in same setting as Titanfall 2, but with this stupid system where you have to scrounge the map for the rest of the parts of your gun before you can have a whole gun (at least we don't have to find the firing pin too before we can shoot).Stat wise, this season shows that I have given up on ever really improving and just play my 2-5 matches a day as "_________" and then log out for the most part. My KDR and wins for the season is wayyyy down from my Season 11 high, and my KDR was never good to start with (I hover in the .2 to .3 ranges).However, I have learned with this season that you can play casually, 2-5 matches per day then log out, and still get enough challenges done on accident to get into the 60 range on the season pass free track. So, I got that going for it. Also ensures enough legend tokens to buy the next legend at the start.So, I have learned to play this game as a Joke Comedy Shooter and still get the characters each season.Unless I am playing with @reconzero - then we play serious cause seems like we can always make top 3, if not top 2 or even winning.{edit to add}Oh, yeah, forgot, you want rankings and pre-play rankings for next season.For S14, I give it a 3/10. Just not much to draw me in, and while the character of Vantage annoys me less than most of the board (likely because I raised kids, and yes, you don't remember but you ALSO were that annoying at that age, we all are) the mechanics just don't fit my playstyle. I am not a long ranger fighter in this game, I engage at Marksman ranges at most. It's also annoying that they SHOW HER WITH THE STUPID EYE PIECE and yet you still have to find a 2x scope or put your guns away to make it work. It should just work.For S15, I give it a tentative 8/10, if only because it looks like they are finally introducing an Anti-Scan character. Hopefully that is true. And hopefully with the Season Balance Pass, they take a look at the roster and realize they have a guy who's entire character is based around "being off the grid" and "trying to keep us under the radar" and give Crypto some much needed love in the passive department....

S14? Well, I've had a blast during S14 as I've been hard grinding Star Trek Online. So 9/10 as Respawn's inability to create proper legend balance and do something to curb the hot-drop griefing on BR mode chased me off Apex, and forced me to have fun gaming (something else).S15 hype? Don't know. I've heard nothing about the removal of the past couple of added legends or the fixing of sbmm, so... yeah, not much hype tbh. Well, a little hope of maybe some more permanent GR or Control, so let's be generous and hype it to a 1/10.

@Cheese9ManFor me, it's probably 8/10 or so. Mainly because we finally got some LTM's again, and both of my buddies actually played quite a bit of Apex this season, and that's when I have the most fun. I had the Battle Pass maxed out 2 days after the split, simply because I'd played quite a bit because I actually had my team mates, Lmao!I still have been lucky and not really had to deal with issues. I'm not worried about weapon skins not being available for a short while, personally, or about iron sight changes. They just don't effect me, so I don't even think about it. I would have never known about the Devo skin situation or the iron sight changes, if I didn't see threads about it on here. I'm one of those people that just sets all Legendary skins that I like as favorites, and sets it to random. The only "bug" I remember dealing with this season, was that my buddy could never join the Apex servers, if he had any games updating or installing at the time. He kept having to pause downloads to be able to play.For Season 15, I'd say probably 9/10, just because we get a new map again this time. I'm a huge fan of variety, and it's a moon map. I've always been a bit of an astrophile, so I'm really looking forward to the new map, and getting to play on a moon environment. I won't have an opinion on the new Legend, until I have a chance to try them out.What am I hoping to see? More tweaking with the ranked points system. Keep at it with the LTM's, even if they just rotate old fan favorites. I know new ones take time to develop and test, but we have plenty of modes to choose from already. Also, please do away with the "Revive 50 squad mates in BR" challenge. The one for 20 revives isn't too bad, but I always pull the 50 challenge in the last week or two, and it bugs me when I have an incomplete challenge at season's end, Lmao! Would still love to finally see cross-progression and an official stat tracker. Cross-progression doesn't effect me, but I know it will benefit TONS of people, so I'm all for it. Maybe some day I'll finally get back on PCOh, and MORE GUN RUN!!!!I know I have some other stuff that I can't think of at the moment, but at the end of the day, I still manage to have a blast playing Apex, so I'll still be here.(Dallas server; Mostly evening playtime)

@Cheese9ManS14 Review 4/10S15 Hype 8/10For the most part I hated S14. Vantage is annoying, the sniper meta is annoying, the ring timer change sucked, and KC has gotten too small for the meta leading to 5th parties that are annoying. As you can tell, I found it to be annoying for the most part.That said, there were still come good things in S14. The new POI on KC is good and I'd like to see them continue with the more complex, multi-story POI's with smaller locations in between on Divided Moon and any future map updates. Gun Run was fun and I think they've got enough LTM's for a rotating one to be on tap at all times.I'm pretty amped for S15 but mostly for the new map. It looks really good and I hope the layout works well. Now if they'd only shrink SP a little and completely rework Fragment on WE, we'd have a really good map rotation pretty much all the time.I'm not sure what to make of Catalyst based only on the Launch Trailer. An 'anti scan' legend is gonna be weird if true and based on all the comments from Respawn saying they would never do that. She could totally blow up the meta & break the game if released as OP like so many legends typically do.Also a little disappointed that we haven't seen the Nemesis AR yet, but the weapons choices are fine. Will be interested to see what they put in the CP and crafter, too. S13 was all about heavy weapons and S14 was the season of snipers.

N/A out of 10The formula won't do it for me, what is it? New map every 3 seasons, a redo of an old map each season, some new character. These are not bad things in and of themselves, but I can't get hyped when fundamental problems of Apex have been around for seasons. The main one for me now is the absurd Respawn rank approach fiasco.You can add 10 characters to the game, 3 new maps, it wouldn't matter. If the basic climbing mode of the game is bad, and the basic core way the game works is bad, it's a zero on the scale. I play the game, but this game is as serious as Rumblefest now, and frankly Rumblefest lasts better.The saving grace is Control and Gun Run, but these things exist and they are on timed clocks, which then limits the good they do. I was a big hater of Destiny II long ago, but having just gone on because it's basically free, they do PVP better at the moment than Respawn's BR, and given that isn't the sole focus of Bungo, that's saying something.So, cool, new character. Whatever. Let me know when they fix ranked.

@Cheese9Man I don't have any hype, but I would if Respawn planned to fixed MM, ranked, and audio. I honestly don't even care about season 15.

You know and everyone knows that’s not gonna happen anytime soon. LMAO.

Cautiously optimistic about ranked though.

@Cheese9Man yeah, that's what it seems to me too. Respawn needs to wake up. I've been playing a lot less lately and may uninstall. Just not that fun anymore.

@pandareno1999 Ok now I remember what you said before. I never had an issue as a shadow. I think I even won 4 games killing the last person when I was a shadow. On KC there are some pretty open areas (with hills full of snipers mind you) but the map is smaller, so it takes less time to get involved. You spawn closer to the action. The timer did get lengthy and frustrated me. But overall I enjoy the mode on both maps. The bigger difference for me was you could setup more buildings of KC as a Caustic or Wattson on KC.

Glad people liked the map and shadow royale but I’m just done with BR LTMs. If I’m gonna play BR, the it’s the regular modes then if I want an LTM, then it’s Gun Run or Control.
Played a few games of Control a few hours ago. Enjoyed the Olympus map and Barometer but hated lava siphon. In the 5 games that I’ve played glad that people were actually flanking and not just going to B.

KC is in the current rotation there’s no reason to remove it from the Control map rotation.

@Cheese9Man So there's no possible BR variant you'd play? I'd love to see second chance get another run.

@hayhor Okay I’m taking my statement back I want them to try that LTM again without breaking this time. LOL. But for the usual ones like armed and dangerous and flashpoint, it’s a pass.

I prefer the LTM's that aren't BR variants, too. I usually don't play Armed & Dangerous or Flashpoint when they are up.

@Cheese9Man Yeah I'm with you on those two. I'm just saying they should still try BRs. Put the popular ones into rotation.
