This is the reason I'm leaving Apex Legends
To me, playing this game has been basically a never ending chore - it is not even fun anymore. So I have decided to list the reasons why I can't play it anymore with some possible solutions:
- Gameplay issues:
1. It takes too long to use the Legendary knockdown shield - long enough for a massive war to end and people still finish you off before you revive. Compare this to warzone's revival time of self-revive kit and you will see how this is an issue.
2. Melee in this game is broken, it's simply useless. A guy can jump on top of you and you still miss the hit easily. I think it should be somewhat reverted to the original design where the hit was guided to prevent this annoying misses.
3. Shields have too much sustain compared to weapons' damage, so you can't kill people on open grounds that easily unless you hit them with every single bullet in your mag. Compare this to warzone's damage / shield sustain and you can see how this is ridiculous unless you are a cheater or a pro (maybe both? its pretty common these days...).
4. Wingman should have a falloff damage, because people are using this weapon as a sniper to kill people from insane ranges - this is a pistol for god's sake!
5. You can't cook granades - this is a basic necessity in FPS games! - By the way, where are the mines!??!?!
6. Can't swap a broken evo-shield for a white one on corpse unless you hold the button. I literally died once because of this delay...
7. Thermite is bugged - Once I died by a thermite that hit me through the walls and there was no signs of it burning there... - Lack of incentives to play:
1. The amount of customizable things is very limited and expensive:
1. Too little weapons to choose from (no grenade launcher yet?). The customization is poor compared to Warzone - where you can change the weapon loadout, put stickers, change skin, etc. Also, a single skin in the shop costs twice as much as the battle pass - this is insane.
2. The legend's skins don't change the legends abilities' effects as is the case in any MOBA game. For instance - caustic's Santa skin could've changed the traps to be a present, or whatever.
3. I think it would be awesome to be able to customize the legend's abilities with power-ups, for instance, something to increase range of caustic traps, but making it slower to act, etc.
2. The rewards in this game are not interesting:
1. It takes a long time to get loot boxes and when you get them, their contents aren't exciting.
2. The events' loots are also not worth the trouble.
3. Respawn should not use events as an excuse to test gameplay - just make an update and test it, it's no like we want a party for us to play regular stuff (I'm talking about the solo matches for instance)
4. Too much effort to get battle pass level 110 - This game punishes people that play for long times occasionally instead of playing regularly every week. This is annoying because not only most people don't have time to play every single week for days to grind level, but also because people aren't slaves to Apex - We have other things to do / play. I think it would be nice to have double xp on weekends or on the season's last weeks, or maybe give absent people bonus xp to make them come back and play.
5. Legend tokens are a useless joke and the crafting materials are very rare - some might not use them as much as they might like (I have used it in a legendary skin once since last year). Maybe it would be better to allow us to change the weekly challenges with the legend tokens and increase crafting materials drop.
6. I feel Rrespawn does not listen to the community to give the users a better game experience while playing. - Quality of live issues:
1. The lobby screen takes too long to start the match and if someone picks your main legend, you are assigned a random one. This can be avoided by making people define a preset of three legends so the loading screen skips your pick faster and chose a legend you might like to play with. Make it optional if this is such a problem!!!
2. I'm still getting connection problems to this day, even with a reasonable internet speed. Always getting prediction error / micro-lags. Maybe there could be something to test the server-client connection and output logs for the user to see what we could do to improve this. Also, please allow us to change servers in-game - not while starting the game.
3. Too many cheaters in this game - I can tell that at least 20% of people I play against are either using wallhacks or no-recoil, with just a small amount of people using aimbot.
4. Origin is one of the worst gaming platforms to play with - always getting problems opening this up to start apex. Please let me play without opening origin first, or move to Steam (lol).
Until this game starts to be fun again I'll be playing cod warzone...
Have I forgotten anything else? Please leave a comment to keep adding to this list...
