Dude that really smarts.
But hey if it was down to 3 squads and one of those was down to one person and the other two squads were 2-3 players left each. I might just tell my team, lets focus the solo, get the kill and secure at least second place for RP in Ranked at least especially if the the other non solo team had a better position, this would also probably leave my team in a position to contest for first place especially if we could get the solo quick.
Non ranked play would totally depend on my teams vs the other teams and the solo teams position in relation to each other and the likelihood of securing a win.
Like I said it smarts but once you have lost your teammates and are solo it is not like you were going to push one of the other squads you were at a disadvantage and all the others new this.
The ring 1 change has really compressed King's Canyon, which feels small to start with. Land on perimeter, hurry up and get in that 4-squad melee that is waiting for you at a chokepoint. If you don't get sniped first before getting there.
This was part of the fun of King's Canyon, but the quick ring has made it bad, I bet they back off on this pretty quick.
- @Nurrffed They did this on purpose so when they change it to 2 minutes everyone will be all happy and grateful to get out of this 1-minute mess.
@CCbathwaterI never felt a squad *really* needed Valk for rotations except on Storm Point, but imagine absolutely needing Valk for that on KC. It's just crazy.
Also, the patch notes say that the ring closing speed is slower, it gives the impression you have to get moving earlier but you don't have to be in a hurry, but we're hustling to stay ahead of it, anyone else notice this?
They didn't do this on purpose, they just didn't test, we are testing for them.
Ring:
New closing time of the ring is just sad. All the outer parts of the map is now a big no, if you dont want to run during half of the game.
You can do it yes, but you dont want to meet another team in the ring and having to take a fight. When you are done its next ring and now you really have to run. Hope you have heals and you are not met by 2 teams waiting for you. If you make it out alive.
Map changes:
Taking away certain tunnels/closing them. Was a big misstake just add more thirdparty to the game. Thought they wanted to minimise those.
Lasersight:
A attatchment no one needed, made to just be a new thing in the game.
Hipfire worked fine whitout colored laser pointers for 13 seasons.
Weapons:
Some buffs are just... not smart.
Give people more work sinc we know there is nerfs coming.
Other:
Still love the game, will always play and
It feels fresh to have some new things to complain about 🙌
Well, started to adapt to ring 1. It's still too little time when the lootpool is cluttered by useless bs and when they want us to use the dumb crafter though, but now I don't get into as much trouble by myself.
And with these changes there's no room for DOC disappearing after a second when deployed inside of a heat shield. Still happens on occasion. It has to stop. No more Lifeline nerfs!
@CCbathwater The solo is usually the first to go down when 2 teams with equal members fight, mainly because they were about the idea of them 3rd partying, but this also can lead to one of the teams undoings because they over focus on the individual rather than the bigger threat being the team.
Reported and blocked a player who whined about me not hot dropping "it's ok because he swore at me so im in the right even tho in apex it doesn't work like that." For people who expect to hotdrop every match, theirs people like me who don't want to fight 6 squads at once, so either shut up or go play another game pls.
Also anyone notice a bug that lets you carry several grenades and spam 4 ? I could be overthinking a coincidence but too convenient 2 squads in a row barely min apart have the same idea to forgo ammo/heals for em "neither had a Fuse"
This Rev almost made Lifeline cry. He was the Champion going into the game. He is jm, he pings construction in Frag(!!), Lifeline pings "no". Then he pings that one house up at Tunnel and Skyhook. Lifeline is like "I'm gonna go Epi". Well, to make the story short, he got revived like 5 times (4 by me and 1 by Newcastle) and used totem 0 times. And he wanted to land Frag... bruh. This is exactly why I don't land at those places anymore. One thing is I have to carry you around, one fight at a time when I have gear, but I'm not carrying in Frag, armed with a P2020 and white armour, having to 1v18 after you've died. Nope! Not this Lifeline! That is soooo season 4.
Re-installed to try out this season's changes and Vantage (had LP for it left over) and already regret it. They were nice with matchmaking early on it seems because I was gone so long. Now its back to being paired with level 30-40 players that don't read patch notes and think they can still easily outheal the first ring while my opponents are season 1 vets.
Already considering uninstalling again. Seems like not playing for 45 day stretches are the only way I can get matchmaking actually balanced to my skill.
I'm enjoying it, a lot, after the zzzzzzzzz of last season.
KDR and AD way, way up.
Wins way, way down.
G7 is now a beast, especially now the Bow and Rampage are in the CP.
Can't get use to the Spitty being light ammo.
Mourning the loss of the buildings on KC, and the re-jigging of the 'tunnel' close to market.
What do we have to do to get SP out of the rotation?
The new character is fun, despite my initial thoughts.
But the ranked system is donkey.
So I'm smurfing!
It's been roughly a week since S14 dropped, biggest gripe, first circle! It's soooooo bad lol!
A lot of good POI's on KC are on the outskirts, which is a huge risk to take now.
I'm having a hard time finding a level 1 backpack at times, that leaves me with minimal loot, forget amo, I'm now hoarding heals, which is ridiculous.
80% of the time, when running out of the storm, there's 2, or 3 teams converging in the same area, there's not that many rotations available. It's not fun!
I'm being penalized for not dropping center of the map, not sure what Respawn was thinking with this one, but it needs to be revised asap.
The majority of my rank games end within the first 2 circles.
At least give me 2 heat shields when dropping, or a level 2 back pack lol
