Matchmaking is broken!
So I play with two of my friends and we play mostly Pubs. We are gold level players. Never climbed above gold 1. And yet, in pubs, we keep betting annihilated by players with 4k, Master/Predator and 20 Bomb Badges. Fair, right? My stats: Level 200< 1.08 KD/R, 3.3% Win rate, 2.8K maximum damage ever!. Why do I keep getting in the same lobbies as all these other guys? I mean, what even is the point of this Skill Based Match Making system if it is this broken! I counted 3 masters and 1 predator landing at Es I understand that high level players may have issue finding lobbies, but this is just ridiculous. I am enjoying this game less and less and I'm pretty close of abandoning it completely. It's just anti-fun. I understand that this is a competitive game. Just don't say the matchmaking is skill based. It CLEARLY isn't. And I was in a couple of lobbies with LG_ShivFPS and ACEU at one point. Not sure why he was playing on EU Region. Good, solid matchmaking
Mike RTG is broke
I have to get on my knees and suck the devils **bleep** to get 3 tackles in the whole game. If there is a teammate 20ft. away from your tackle you automatically get assisted tackle. The online has the grip of a **bleep** silver back gorilla but any of my team members can shed and make a tackle with no **bleep** problems. The qb sits on his **bleep** thumb when I dont rush and gets his **bleep** eaten out by any of my team members. The moment I rush the qb its like every **bleep** wide receiver is automatically open and my cb and safeties are non existent. Sacking the qb is out of the question, you have a better chance sucking trumps **bleep**. Fix this **bleep** game!
Suggestions and requests regarding the Predator Master Rank matching system
I understand that Diamond level players are being included to reduce waiting times for matches. However, in the long term, this will not only lead to a decrease in the number of players in the Predator Master rank range, but will also lead to a decrease in the number of people playing ranked matches, so it should be abolished as soon as possible. This is because Diamond and Platinum ranked players will have to wait until later in the season to play regular ranked matches. This system is designed to encourage Diamond players to quit ranked matches, and is only a preferential treatment for Predator Master players, as it is a system designed to speed up matching for Predator Master players. First of all, it would not be a fair ranked match to include a significantly lower rank in the Predator Master range (even if it were included, it would probably remain at Diamond I). Second, including lower ranks would unduly raise the predator threshold, reinforcing the tendency to become a top ranker only after investing time. Third, because players' ranks will fluctuate after the reset, including lower-ranked players would create an undue advantage for existing players who started at a higher rank. It's perfectly natural for players who performed well in previous seasons to achieve higher ranks after the reset. However, an undue advantage in rankings is no longer considered fair. Fourth, if you're going to make players wait, make sure it's higher ranked players. This is one way to make ranked matches more fair. Don't take up the time of lower ranked players who want to climb the ranks in APEX. I would like to suggest one way to speed up matching in Predator Master Rank. Players who are currently active as professionals, or who have a clear intention to become professional and have a proven track record of doing so, should be able to play in the Predator Master rank without raising their rank. However, this should be based on the player's wishes and should not be done arbitrarily. It would be better to limit the time available to play at Predator Master Rank to one year or three months. This would create a more favorable environment for players aiming to become the best in the world, and would be the desired result. That's all.
Ongoing Exploit in FC 26 FUT Champions – EA Must Act
I’m raising this post out of sheer frustration and concern for the integrity of FC 26, particularly in FUT Champions. Over the past few weeks, I’ve repeatedly encountered a severe exploit where hackers freeze all but one of my players, leaving me with no ability to compete. This isn’t a one-off glitch—it’s happened multiple times, including two consecutive FUT Champs matches. In the third, when I quit due to the same exploit, I was hit with a DNF penalty. This is not just a technical issue—it’s a systemic failure. Despite reporting the problem through the official channels, I have no follow up from EA just nothing dead silence. No investigation, and certainly no resolution. Meanwhile, these bad actors continue to manipulate the game unchecked, undermining fair play and punishing legitimate players. It’s unacceptable that a company of EA’s scale and resources remains silent while its competitive ecosystem is being actively sabotaged. FUT Champions is supposed to be the pinnacle of competitive play, yet it’s being rendered unplayable by exploits that go unaddressed. We need transparency. We need action. And above all, we need EA to take responsibility for protecting the integrity of its game and its community. Has anyone else experienced this? Let’s make noise until we’re heard.
Reduce the Rip Chips price of the Day pass for the Isle of Grom
Having 500 Rip Chips just to enter the Isle of Grom for only 24 hours sounds already expensive and tedious to earn especially for those who have started the game or newcomers. For example, doing the dailies earns you 200+ rip chips so you need to do at least 3 times. HOWEVER, you have to key in the factor that you have to wait 24 hours for the tasks to reset which is just already annoying and unfun. So to do the math; 24Hrs x 3 = 72 hours ~ of real life human hours for the non-premium players to just enter the new island. I know this game really relies on engagement numbers so this method really defeats the whole goal. Sure, there are the normal missions scattered throughout the city but that earns you only 5 rip chips and you have to do roughly 100 missions to just get the day pass. Also, those normal missions have a 24 hours reset. That alone would make me if not all of us lose interest immediatelly and not play the game. My suggestion to fix this problem would be either reduce it to at least 200 Rip Chips or extend the "rental time" from 24 hours to 72 hours that way we can earn back our wasted time. ***I would rather 100% it to be "no paywall behind new areas" free too but Im trying to think as a game dev and trying to benefit the non-premium and new players.
I'm so frustrated with the report system on here.
I had someone in chat today screaming racist and homophobic slurs over the mic the entire game. It made me sick to my stomach.. I ended up figuring out how to mute them but even with reporting, as the person said themselves "they won't get banned" because there isn't any way to add input about it and since it wasn't in chat they can't head it. I tried to find a way to contact EA directly, but it just redirects me to the report a player info on their website. This isn't a person who should be allowed to play on public gaming platforms. Any advice on how to get a hold of someone from EA? This is disgusting behaviour.Avoiding Nerfs is Neglecting Over-buffs
To the Apex Legends Development Team, I recently read an interview where you reportedly discussed the current in-game meta. In it, you acknowledged the overpowered state of the Devotion, yet described it as "cool and well-done." You also apparently stated that nerfs are a last resort, and you'd try to balance by buffing other characters. This news was genuinely shocking to me. Both excessive nerfs and excessive buffs should be avoided. Are you truly looking at the character pick rates? Are you not noticing the unusually high pick rates of Ash, Alter, and Ballistic, while the number of characters with under 1% pick rate has increased? If this interview is indeed true, isn't that like a painter who, instead of fixing a mistake in their painting, just keeps adding more to it, ultimately ruining the entire piece? If you don't address the cause, you won't change the outcome. Is the Apex Development Team truly willing to ruin their own work like that painter? I sincerely hope that this interview is false, and that you are, in fact, facing the cause of the current chaotic meta – which is over-buffing – with genuine commitment.
Reset the game
Your new maps suck put ranked on worlds edge kings canyon and Olympus keep dropship take out overflow infinite ammo bottomless batts this aint COD shouldnt be perks what made this game great was the og the numbers have dropped since the new maps and yall adding similarities to other brs show yall are scrambling to stay relevant the new maps were for your tournament scene keep it in that ranked aint tournament no ones getting paid by you and your regular fanbase generates you 10x the money your pro scene does make apex the greatest br it once wasThoughts on S28
I want to preface this is my opinion so don’t attack me if you don’t agree: I realized what MY issue is with Apex. There is no incentive for people who are “above average” to play. I’m not saying I’m the best by any means, but I wont run from a gunfight. That being said, for those of us who have developed some semblance of game IQ and recoil control, the current meta makes up for it if you don’t have it. Cant aim? No worries here are low skill, high dps guns. Just spray away and get lucky on 4 shots and you’ll win. Don’t have game IQ? Here are over buffed abilities that allow you to run away and reset fights so you never have to learn. Or, they are so strong you can win a fight just because you have it, and you’ll get that same ability back in seconds. Ranked…. Ranked is just a display of how much time you play with whatever MMR buckets you are in. So why am I going to put the effort in when I have higher skilled lobbies and someone in lower skilled lobbies can get the same badge? The same is true in whatever skill bucket exists above me. There shouldn’t be different ranked lobbies. (with the obvious exceptions of the preds, who i do not claim to be). How do you look at the rank distribution and say, yea that’s what a bell curve should look like and continue for years? Oh, that’s probably because MMR helps with retention and that’s all you care about I feel like Apex used to be shooter first then abilities second, and now It’s abilities first, then shooting second. I see players using abilities instead of shooting me when I’m close/med range and there is a clear line of sight from me to them. If that’s the direction Apex wants to take so be it, I’ll see myself out. Lastly, connectivity sucks, and the whole world saw during ALGS. I have upgraded my internet and I still hear/see 2-3 shots but my death recap shows 3-5 more bullets that I don’t even see. So, why should I continue to invest in a game when you don’t even invest in this game? I don’t know if anyone else can relate, or maybe It’s just me. I’m sure it doesn’t matter wither way because nothing will change.
