Unacceptable Skill disparity in Rank games
So I stopped playing once again for another good 6 months I am now back to grinding ranked. It's all so clear to me now I make comparisons with other games, when I play Rocket League competitive rank mode (or even casual) I NEVER , I repeat NEVER play against players that are way above my skill level, I am a Gold player and never get players that are diamond skill level in any of my games, that would not make any sense to not be able to compete, like they said 5 years ago: Play against similar skill level opponents in ranked! (Apex) But in Apex legends no matter how we complain about it since 2022 and the fake solutions they get us like the hidden MMR, it never changes a single bit, no matter if Im Silver, Gold or Platinum I play against Masters and Masters smurfs ALL THE TIME!!!!!! This screws the game totally! And devs had like 7 years to solve this but never did! The reason I was motivated to write another post today about this is I am now Platinum 4 and got killed by a Gold 2 that was previously a Master, with a 20 frag badge (I never got a 20 kill game even in easy lobbies so why am I playing against him in a random team?) clearly way above our skill level and lower in rank , how does this makes sense????? Why do the lower rank players ALWAYS are the highest skilled players? This goes against everything RANKED means. Either smurfs or players coming back but still... this makes it too easy for him and too IMPOSSIBLE for us. So what happened is that this Gold 2 player won the game with his random teammates with likek 20 kills and 5500 damage. His team had 35 KILLS!!!!! 35 KILLS!!!!!1 They killed more than HALF the players of tdhe game! Why don't you understand ? This is insanity, this is the exact opposite of similar skill players. This is like me going on ROcket League against players that make 12 goals in a game, they win 12-0 because this Champion skill level player have it so easy, what's the challenge for him then? And to top it off, I could clearly see he had some anti recoil scripts, he would have 100% accuracy on mid range shots. MMR my **bleep**!
New legend and class type: Assassins
Assassins are basically a hybrid between recon and assault class legends. Their main focus is to know their preys location and hunt them down from the shadows. Masters of stealth and cunning. Assassin class perks: Assassins can crouch walk faster and climb walls higher (Revenant passive). Can stick onto walls for a short time. Enemies killed by assassins leave 2 pulse knives in their deathboxes. Which they can equip as a third weapon. New legend: SONAR Passive (Final touch): SONAR can turn nades into mines which can be set to trigger automatically when an enemy is nearby or can be triggered manually. With each nade has its unique effect as a mine. Arc Star>>>Arc mine>>>Damages and stuns enemies. Frag nade>>>Frag mine>>>Has a big radius and a push back effect. Thermite nade>>>Thermo mine>>>burns and slows opponent. Tactical (Moon Eyes): Throw up to 3 self automated drones that survey and scan an area. Ultimate(Preying Eyes): Equip goggles that allows you to have a thermal vision as well as the ability to see enemies through walls and surfaces for 20s.Stop playing this slop
The balance is just god awful...overtuned legends and overtuned guns. You literally HAVE TO use some guns or just get washed no matter how accurate you are. Abilities are getting to overwatch level with just screen clutter SLOP. Map changes are HORRIBLE. They ruined this once great FPS.
Legend balance
I have a fundamental question for EA and Respawn. What's the point of having characters in this game who lack mobility in their kit? The initial concept for Apex Legends was different, and now we're playing Titanfall Legends, and mobility has completely taken over the game. What about characters who lack mobility or have slower movement, like Caustic/Gibby/New Castle? In the current situation, playing these legends is torture. Another character who's broken after buffs – Octane. Do you really have to make him a god for months or almost a year (like Ash) after every buff? Where is this game going? Will you change the title from Apex Legends to Titanfall Legends?Game kicked me and gave me an abandonment penalty. Thanks Ea
Just lost 162 points in diamond ranked because your game kicked me on the drop. Completely unfair that I have been kicked off twice in the last few days and lost points with abandoned penalties because your game kicked me because it can’t keep up.
Apex Legends Predator Invitational (Ideals)
"Before the end" of each Ranked season there should be an online Invitational for the Predator-tier to play for prize money. How much money? If there are four pred tourneys in a year than I think 100K a tourney is reasonable. First place gets 50K, more or less. So that would total 400K prize money for the year. How many days? 4 day "online" tourney that doesn't conflict with ALGS scheduling. How many teams? There needs to be 4 blocks (A, B, C, D), with 10 teams each. 40 teams x 3 players a team = 120 players. So the devs would need to invite the top 40 preds and make them captains. From there the captains can choose 2 teammates who are Predators. This will create a predator tourney system that includes the top pros and content creators. Most importantly, along with better ranked rewards and marketing, this will create massive hype!!! Note - Players can "decline" being a captain. The "invitation" should be given to the next "top Predator" in line. This will allow players in the "top 40, etc." to play together in the tourney. Furthermore, players can decline for personal reasons. The predator pool of players will be 710. If more players are needed, then the "top Master" players can be selected by captains. Predator-tier seasonal results can be finalized 1 week before season end, 8pm EST. This allows time to setup the tourney. During this 1-week period Ranked will still be playable, but seasonal results for the Predator-tier will be locked. Once Predator-tier seasonal results are finalized, the top 40 predators have 3 hours to accept/decline captain invites. Once the captains are selected, they have 12 hours to register their team. The Invitational would need to take place sometime after, according to the best available dates before the start of a new season. Tourney Scheduling: "Predator-tier seasonal results" can be finalized on Tuesday night at 8pm EST a week before season end. Captains register their team on Wednesday. Tourney days Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. If the above scheduling conflicts with the ALGS, then the "Predator-tier seasonal results" can be finalized 2 weeks prior to season end, for an earlier weekend tourney. If the weekends aren't available then the tourney would need to be held mid-week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday). To accomplish this the "Predator-tier seasonal results" will need to be finalized on Saturday night at 8pm EST, a week and a half before season end. Overall, I think scheduling for this type of event/tourney can be flexible before the season ends. Regional limitations may apply. I'm not sure if this event would have to be a U.S. only tournament or not. Hopefully, the tournament can, at least, include Europe/Australia. But all regions would be ideal. Let the games begin. Play the group/bracket stages, then have a match point "Apex Legends Predator Championship". Pros will be happy. Broadcasters will be happy. Spectators will be happy. Average players will be happy because by default they get to participate in the pred tourney process by naturally playing Ranked. Competitive battle royale is losing steam because of the lack of content. Other games/genres, such as, Valorant, Counter Strike, League of Legends, etc., have always pumped out competitive content at a good pace. Currently, Apex is the "cream of the crop" for competitive BR. Nobody watches Fortnite competitive, Warzone competitive has been mismanaged. Apex is all we have. This proposal is for PC players only.
