Too many lag fests when first dropping in and instead of addressing the issue they were telling players it was their own internet when it was happening to everyone in the lobby. Took way too long to adjust the wingman. Too long to address the rampant cheaters in the game. The battle pass was extremely bad. The game at its core is the BR by far, but too many problems and lack of communication with its player base. People have been begging for solo player and duos which would've helped with the server load. That part personally doesn't effect me, but a lot of those sole players out here have no incentive to play the game right now.
could be malicious haters. and if all them left to go find another game thats fine by me. still popular enough to have good match maker. titanfall 2 is still popular enough for me to have competitive matches. so apex is hugely popular in comparison. pubg just had a tournament and its not as many players as apex still.
but I don't know why it doesn't have a decent matchmaker. I don't mind waiting titanfall 2 queue times. which is like a couple minutes.
ban quitters. ranked and unranked queues. skill rated matchmaker.
Right now playing without two friends is murder. torturous with randos that run around with rambos for kills. Its really cool we can invite last squadmates and I like that alot, but usually i'm looking to just find people at my own lvl. like if we all won a match with even dmg and kills. we gonna regroup for sure. but a skill rated matchmaker on dmg and kills would be great without having to search for friends. and ranked season queues with elo rating based on wins. or top 3 placement. and then unranked queue for practice or people who like randoms..obviously I'm dreaming but if they did any of those it would be cool start.
You forget the most important thing about your stance:
It doesn´t matter at all how popular the game is for YOU or the other 100 people left in any game that ever got released (even you can still get matches running).
The game has to be popular for a huge amount of people, especially if it´s F2P because only a small percentage will buy cosmetics.
Otherwise the companies behind these games wouldn´t have enough revenue the keep devs (who work on bugfixes, balancepatches), servers (which are usually rented and even cost upkeep like energy and traffic if they´re their own), anticheat (which you usually have to pay a monthly fee) paid.... which will usually end in games getting shut down after ~1 year.
Have any of you turned your mic on in game and talk led to the randos? See im not a toxic player, if your level 1-50 i don't care, lets talk ill help you out with whats going on, lets have fun. Ive added a lot of people to my friends list while playing this game. Granted im on console so we dont have as big of a cheat problem, but im still having fun with this game. Its still a fairly new FREE FREE br game. Did fornite have it all when it first came out? Think thats been around awhile... anyway, unmute your mics, relax, and make some friends!
- I would if every single game didn't have Asian players speaking Chinese or whatever other language. It's a ton of fun getting down to the last three or 2 just to be killed in the blink of an eye by an aimbot. I would play the same maps, with the same guns, with the same characters over and over and over if it meant that cheats were gone.
I feel like the lack of variation is what's killing the game for me. I applaud it for holding my interest for as long as it has despite being a free-to-play game. I bought the battle pass as appreciation for delivering the game to begin with, however I don't think the rate of new content is going to be enough to influence a season 2 pass purchase.
They need more maps for starters. Smaller maps with smaller player caps would be fine. But even the potential of Kings Canyon is left untapped. It has multiple TDM/CTF/Attack and Defend maps within it that we could be practising in. No custom modes. Can't alter the loot table, choose the squad size or make the rounds tick faster. The choices are tragically rigid.
I never praised this game for its cosmetics. PUBG feels like a tiny evolution above H1Z1 and DayZ before it. Fortnites BR was a clear afterthought that began as a lazy attempt to follow an industry trend. Apex's gameplay was a breath of fresh air. PUBG was a bit dull with the same combat mechanics as I could find in any other military sim. Fortnites building system was obnoxious; instant cover whenever you're caught with your pants down, every match ending with this messy jenga contraption. Apex Legends has the makings of a classic arena shooter built into its core.

Its easy to make friends in the game, but when you are competitive person you are alooking for your firneds at your level, damage, kills, wins. and thats not that easy. especially to have twoi players like that to play with at all times. Its not practical or realistic.
The game is dying because not enough content has been published so far. The Battle Pass was an utter disappointment, but a whole month to see a +10% health to Gib and Caustic? Come on.
We expected it to be the best BR FPS around. After 2 full months and a half what did we saw so far? A new weapon and a single new champ? Not even close to what people expected.Game is ded because the basic design of the game is seriously flawed. And they have no intention of fixing it. So it's gone. Team based only. Loot drops are always too thin. Run around frantically and no still no weapon! What? What am I supposed to do? Just die? Well, yes. I guess so. And that's what happens game after game. Too many weapon options. Find a gun? Great, but no ammo. RNG based. Massive cheating that went unchecked for weeks. Game is based on specific heros which are tough to design and make alot of. (Should have been dozens of heros at launch with no specific powers etc. Like Fortnite. What are they going to do now? Design 8 more characters with 8 more specific powers? I could tell from day one this game wouldn't last. Indeed it is ded.
I have had zero problems finding top tier people to play with maybe it is your tryhard attitude which you do not have to have if you are a good player tryhards are just not fun to play with they take all enjoyment out of gaming

top tier people? huh? what does that have to do with a skill rated matchmaker?
I'm not looking to befriend top tier people to carry me in matches. Why would they even want to play with me? I'm an avg player I'm not top tier, but I want to play matches with people of my own ranking and skill level. Every now and then I'll have a good match. get top 3 or win and my teamates do even dmg and kills and we all squad up again. I'll add them to friends list, etc...
But that doesn't happen often and people are not always available to play with 24 hours a day. If you claim its that easy to find people of your own skill level to play with you are being disingenuous.
And my try hard attitude? Most people want competitive matches, its human nature. Whether a low skill casual player or a top tier paid pro, it makes no difference. The game is considered a sport.
