I wonder who believes that crap
@r1ggedgameApex is down to 47k players on Steam today . . . less than TF2 (17 years old!) and out of the Top 20. Apex has just hurtled off the cliff. I'll always hold out hope that it can be resurrected, but right now things are at an all time low.
I agree with the comments saying Apex is dead for solo queue players. I am (was?) one and have moved on to Fortnite of all games. Never thought I would but it's actually very fun. Much more low key, lots of variety, humor, nice graphics on a quality game engine (Unreal 5), and you still get tense fights and end games at times to get your competitive juices going.
- @HappyHourSumwur Generally, it might be the worst year for all the biggest studios. Maybe it's a bit early to say that, but there's some gear change going on right now in the industry. Game studios with stick shifts can avoid the crash, but studios with automatic gearboxes will crash.
- @HappyHourSumwur i only posted the steam numbers to show that everything they did S20+ was a big mistake .. they gained some players bcs as usual they promised smth huge but didnt deliver. Thats why most of those people which came back just left after S20 and it went straight downhill from there.
Their brainiac idea to still keep crossplay after all the AA controversy just alienated both fractions ... but hey "As always ...they listen to our feedback" , right ?!?! LOL . Additionally, how can you play pubs in a solo queue if there is no penalty for leaving the game? Full teams wait patiently for the opportunity to respawn, and when playing solo, 99% of the time, after being knocked down, such people immediately leave the game. This is an additional difficulty for solo queue players that I forgot to mention.
And again, in the pub, the triple predator in 3 stack on controllers kills me. Matchmaking is just one big joke. Crossplay + matchmaking with predators in one lobby means that no one wants to play your game anymore. EA, maybe you will start working with Respawn in the new year?Provide the option to disable crossplay for PC players and only allow MnK vs. MnK matchmaking. I'm tired of being cannon fodder for 3stacks on controllers.
In the evenings, I play on EU servers with the same people every day. I already remember these nicknames by heart and I know in advance what character they will play. This is sick. Do I really have to be put in a lobby where 100 people are playing and they're just exchanging with each other all the time? This is sick.
"There is a loose correlation between actual skill (as measured in MMR) and a player’s RP value."
Now that is a bold lie , there is no correlation between RP and skillYes, a very loose correlation that one team may have triple pred (probably at least KD at level 3-4) with lvl 1 (usually a cheater). Great correlation along with anti-cheat protection. :D
Pubs cannot be played because crossplay, sweating, too much skill disparity in one lobby. And in solo diamond rankings, I simply don't have the strength to fight with 3 stacks.
Now my game looks like this: I play a dozen or so days a season and then take a month break until the next split, because there is no solo mode for a player who could feel the fun of the game.
And so many hidden cheaters with configs and wallhacking. Mhm... I wonder when Apex will start detecting these wonders 🙂 If that were the case, several thousand more people would be immediately banned.
- @r1ggedgame S20 is definitely where it all went wrong. That was definitely the beginning of the end.
