Who else thinks this is the beginning of the end?

I quit playing Apex about 2 weeks into S20 and then decided last night to see what S21 was all about.  Solo queue Trios is absolutely unplayable unless you are cheating or a 3 stack of pros.  It is a...

Competitive multiplayer shooters always seem to suffer from a fun deficit after the initial novelty has worn off. It gets very grindy and very repetitive very fast. Even battle royale, which was meant to remedy those problems with more complexity. Bad matchmaking and armies of cheaters are the things we tell ourselves have ruined the game, but the truth is these games are a test of anyone's attention span and eventually patience wears out. I'm not quite there myself yet. But I've been feeling it inch up on me since season 14.

"Even in likes of PUGB, CS, Fortnite you can play PvE but not in Apex."

And that's the biggest rub of all for me.

@reconzero I find it interesting they haven't put in a PvE mode. Just the other day Mande posted a video where destroyer was back and he made all of the other players in the lobby go after Mande's team. Surely if a hacker can do it it can't be that hard to implement. Hell Divers 2 has showed how popular it can be. My son plays a mode in SWBF2 where you team with 3 others and fight cpu enemies.

    Well, they actually let leak that they were working on a PvE mode a year or two back. Then publicly announced they were cancelling it. This was right around the time the mobile version came and went. Don't know if they were related in any way. But I take some hope from the fact that they adamantly insisted solos would never return and here it is. So there's presumably still hope for a whole list of things that were never supposed to happen.
