Why apex is not fun right now. (in my humble option)

 I've been playing apex for quite a long time. About 4000hrs right now. And last spilt was boring and stressful ever for me. I know I'm not the only one that feels this way because there is large am...

Well, Mixtape keeps getting degraded in fun. First auto shield-regen gone, then shorter Control matches, then they add kraber to Gun Run, and now abysmal short TDM games. 🤡 Oh, and the extremely boring... what's it called? The one where you have to hold zones, they added to take more time away from Control and TDM.

Then we have the BR problem: Hot-dropping, 5 squads left Round 2. Then they add assisted jumping in ALGS, the one mode where they actually spread out on the jump! Apparently no one at Respawn has never played Trios, which should be the first mode to get assisted jumping, as +70% of the playerbase doesn't understand how it works.

I guess we got quads today? Sounds fun, now we can have 2 squads left round 2 instead. 🤡

Yeah, lockdown sucks. But tbh if hate Hot-dropping and more competitive experience, you can play ranked.

@raphi0099 I have no interest in ranked. Remove the ranks, points, abandon penalty, and so forth then okay, I'll play ranked. I just want to actually play the video game.
A BR game is RnG heavy, you don't need to add more RnG by making poor drops and give worse players a greater chance of defeating you on pure luck. Makes zero sense.

PS. Rookie-Gold more or less plays the same as Trios anyway. And now you can't leave, because you're in a ranked game.

     @CCbathwater I never thought Rookie-Gold was like that. And I get it would really suck. I kind of get what you what. It reminds me of "unranked" gamemode in r6. If assist drop comes to ranked, adding unranked with assist drop, tighter MM, etc.. to make normal gameplay more enjoyable would be great. I think it would be great middlegroud for pubs and ranked. Btw RnG is something that BR just can't get rid of and I think apex was doing pretty great making game less RnG heavy. You can't just pick purple armor from ground and win drop fight now.

      @raphi0099 I'm not gonna sit through Rookie-Gold before you start being able to play the game in plat, and then have Respawn do a "split" and knock me back down again. Remove abandon penalty, then I might have the mental to sit through it all.

      The problem is that my teammates who want to drag me into a Fragment drop will, 90% of the time, do absolutely nothing and expect me to carry... with a P2020, no ammo, no heals, etc., in a 1v21. It is further from being fun than the distance to the Sun.
      If you want me to carry you need to give me a gun, ammo, and heals. And a reasonable scenario - not a 1v21. Which is why Mixtape is more fun, despite Respawn's many attempts at sabotaging the playlist, as I pick a loadout, don't have to worry about ammo or heals, and the toughest scenario will be a 1v9. Now I have a chance if I'm expected to be a one-Wattson army.
