The influence of influencers

CAR is my fav smg, but it doesn't need a buff. Influence is annoying.

I honestly think that influencers are purposefully saying these “hot takes” just for the clout and their followers really fall for it. Right now a few pros are complaining about the Wingman being OP and that it should be a carpackage weapon. Same goes with people asking for a Bangalore nerf because of her smoke bug that’s in the game since S8. I really don’t care what they think just very curious on how people mirror their favorite content creator’s opinions either good or bad. I guess this is my undergraduate psychology degree kicking in. LMAO. 

Now that the R301 is the main assault rifle on the ground, watch these kids complain about it being OP about a month or two from now. My crystal ball is telling me that they’ll cry about the R301 saying “It’s too easy too use. The reload animation is too fast for an AR. It’s so flexible you can use it short, mid, and long range.”

@Cheese9Man LOL at 301 comment.  You are probably right though.

My response to those types of complaints is "You know you can pick it up too right?".  Leave it as it is!

I freakin knew it that they’re mostly doing it for the clout! LMAO. Ryan Rigney (ex head of communication at Respawn) explained it better than me that they’re trying to make these complaints trending. Of course he’s replying to the #1 complainer of Apex.

Now the questions is why is that devs keep on insisting that to use twitter and reddit for communication and not in a more moderated place like the AHQ?

The joke is as if there isn’t always going to be imbalance.

Blaming guns is just the most stupid. Sure, you know, some will be op and need adjustment but the most common malfunction is the user.

Buff all the weapons to do double damage and let it ride I say. Enjoy the taste of tears. The game will be better.

Everyone keeps throwing around devs do devs did and what not. But truth be told a dev develops stuff by a decided priority done by the project and/or product team. The developers are to be protected to give proper productivity time as well so there will be communication walls around them, this is to maximize productivity and focus time. For instance Scrum, a popular method used these days (not my particular favorite) has a i call you, don't call me policy for devs, where the scrum master is the communication screener for incoming communication for the team. Most of the priorities are done outside the devs control, sadly. Just needed to be said at some point, I'm tired of my devs getting the heat when they 

I too am very frustrated that they actually use Reddit istead of AHQ, twitter I can understand as its a way of giving messages outside if entire platform is down but not Reddit. In my opinion its a bad habit/trend used by game companies, and its a trend I don't buy into - I use AHQ.
