Stop Complaining.....
About your random teammates. The devs have added requeue options, use it!!! I use the feature as much as possible, but I've noticed that a lot of players are still solo queuing. If you're not actively searching out a "squad" to compete with in Ranked then it's your fault, not the devs. The update hasn't been out a week and some players in the community are being so negative and bitter. Give the changes some time to work. Geesh!!! Stop blasting your randoms. Some of y'all care so much about kills/damage, but y'all never mention anything about placement. This is a BR, not team deathmatch. You can screenshot your randoms stats all you want, but that means nothing. Maybe your randoms care more about placement then kills. I don't understand the logic behind solo queueing and then expecting "stacked" results, especially since we have an option to use requeue. The fact that solo queuers expect their teammates to kiss their butt and chase them around the map erratically is pure narcissism. If y'all really care about being a "team player" and "ranking up" you will communicate with your squad and link up if you played well together. Now that we have requeue options complaining about your randoms is a non-issue. The devs need to focus on improving Ranked further and removing cheaters and cheats from the game, along with other issues/concerns. Anyways... Ranked Distribution is looking good. Numbers don't lie and neither do I.Matchmaking Update
Does anyone know if the community will receive a matchmaking update anytime soon? Specifically, the "stay with team" feature (after matches) and any other updates that will improve the solo queue experience. The solo queue experience needs to be focused on direly. It's been too long and no action. I hope we hear something before the next season starts.
Apex ban issue not resolved
Hello ea, the reason why my game account was banned is to enhance game behaviors such as game acceleration. In the game just now, the hero I used Apex Power Boy, who was the wild card, chose the accelerated movement replicator in your latest activity mode because the Power Boy's skill also accelerates movement speed, which made my character move too fast, which led you to think that I might have used plug-ins and blocked my game account, but I have never used third-party plug-ins or plug-ins. I request to re-check my historical data and plug-in usage history and unblock my account after confirming that I have never used a third-party plug-in and used a plug-in. This is very important to me. I love this hero very much. Thank you.Dealing With "1 Player" In Queue After Being Unbanned
Hello everyone, I’ve been trying for over two months now, sending multiple emails and support tickets, to get unbanned. My account was hacked, and the hacker did something that caused me to get banned in Apex Legends. With my first unban request, I was actually unbanned and able to log back into Apex Legends on my PlayStation 5. However, now I seem to be under some sort of “shadowban”: the matchmaking queue is stuck permanently at “1.” I can’t enter the Firing Range, play Ranked, or access any other modes. I’ve already changed my email address three times, but nothing has changed. Support doesn’t respond at all—even though I’ve invested a lot of money in Apex Legends. I don’t get any replies by email, and my unban requests aren’t being processed. When I contact live support, they just tell me to submit another request—but how can I, if nobody responds? Has anyone else experienced something similar? [Superuser Edit: Updated thread title]Nobody is playing BR anymore
I cannot find games on the smaller servers anymore meaning if I want to play BR I have to go to the bigger servers that PING me at 250 - 300. Wild Card has destroyed BR. It's the only games I can play now and frankly I hate it. I don't get the appeal of dying 15 times to get 15 kills. You might as well just play TDM. What's the difference?
Are you enjoying Apex Legend Season 26 now ?
How is the solo experience? Are you dealing with 3 stack team on pubs every single lobbies now? When was the last time you had a decent game? Do you resort to camping because you got match up with bots all the time? Do share your experience. Also, don't get me started with Apex legend official discord. Finding teammates of APAC is close to non-existence.Matchmaking times EU
Hi, Since about a month (maybe two), Apex Pubs matchmaking takes about 5 minutes. I basically only play with the same 100 or so players. I am not complaining about the difficulty or anything. It's just annoying when you hot drop, die, then have to wait 5 minutes for the next game. According to steamdb there should be about 40000 to 60000 players online at the time I am playing 21:00 - 01:00 MET. It should be possible to match more than two lobbies. I also tried the East US server, it's just as slow but with a worse ping. Were there any changes to matchmaking lately? I could only find info about ranked changes, I don't like the new ranked mode with the different drops. It's super boring. I also couldn't really find others complaining about this, it's mostly stuff like "why am I getting matched with Masters?". Like I said, I don't care about that though. So, is it just me or do others have the same issue?Ranked Improvements / ALGS
After the Ranked Reset the ranked distribution looks almost unchanged. Except for the highest tiers. Ranked Distribution So, what's the purpose of a split? I got demoted to Plat 4 from Plat 3. What?!?! Ranked needs help from the top down. Top players are grinding for what? I like the cosmetic items and all for lower tiers. But Predators need something to "boast" about. Higher tier players are the ones streaming and making a living off of being an "Apex Content Creator". They need something for their viewers to get "hype" about. I just finished watching Apex on Twitch and the content creators don't have a lot to be hype about and that sentiment is passed to their viewers, which is bad for "marketing". I mentioned in previous posts that these players need better rewards, not just for them, for the hype it creates. A one-of-a-kind mythic gun skin for the #1 player. Now Unc will sit down and watch the young people play their best for that or whatever else. But Unc isn't going to watch you play around with your ALGS squad until 5pm scrims. I do watch scrims, mainly NiceWigg. But I would watch high tier Ranked play, if it were a thing. Right now, it's not. Basically, Ranked needs to "hang from a trophy" (mythic gun skin or something). With a better reward system and direction Ranked splits might become an outdated mechanic. Additionally, an end of season Apex Legends Predator Tournament would create a lot of hype and give spectators something additional to watch. Right now, Apex experiences the highest viewership for comp. I think there's room to expand on that. Ranked is a bridge to the ALGS, whether that's accepted or not. Every pro player has grinded Ranked. The notion that there should be a "large" gap between Ranked and comp doesn't make sense to me. The current Ranked system is great because if provides some structure for the whole competitive ecosystem. That's why I was advocating for the "Stay with Team" feature, because that completes the new Ranked setup. As a spectator I want to be able to watch the ALGS and when it goes off be able to play Apex and experience what I just enjoyed watching. This is the case with ALL sports. When I was growing up everybody wanted to be like Jordan, because of what we had seen in the NBA. This applies to Apex too, from an esports perspective. I'm sure there's plenty of young players who want to be the next ImperialHal. The current Ranked changes assist with starting that process. I've been watching since the beginning, EXP Invitational 2019 . I've watched all of those kids become professionals within this community. Apex gained a competitive following out the gate. We can't downplay that. I'm trying to help you all understand the "big picture", not individual preferences. There are too many "individual preferences" to try and cater to, so the devs/community needs to find a "happy medium" that makes sense for competitive Apex. Because Apex is an Esport. I hope the competitive ecosystem continues to evolve. I hope the devs find a happy medium with the esport orgs, especially in regard to having some in-game cosmetics (again). All of these improvements will create more "fandom", not less. Have fun in Japan!!!! :-)
