S26: Amp
There's a rumor going around about a new system called "Amp." Given the current disparity in character pick rates, I have to say I'm against introducing a new system that affects character abilities. It would only complicate the situation and make it even more difficult to achieve a healthy balance. While new challenges are important, we shouldn't get our priorities wrong. We should avoid adding more on top of the existing problems without addressing them first. Things need to be done in order; you can't learn multiplication before you've mastered addition. You can't build a house on a weak foundation. Stop making unnecessary additions to characters and weapons. Don't add legs to a snake to make it a centipede. If you want to keep the game fresh and revitalize it, shouldn't you be revitalizing it by changing the surrounding environment, just like the change to the daytime E-District, through things like ranked rules and map conditions? I hope the developers will fulfill their duty and not turn a blind eye to the problems at hand. Please, don't let this game die. And please, don't make me say the same things over and over again.Or have the developers already given up Apex? What do you all think about Amp?
Prove you care about newbies
Where can I learn apex techniques? Create tutorials that teach officially approved Apex techniques. Prepare tutorials that teach the skills and techniques of legends. Where can I find out the skill compatibility of legends? How do you know that the final resting place is fixed and decided? Maybe I just don't know about it, but is there anywhere I can learn about various Apex techniques and specifications? It just seems to me like you are making a convenient excuse.Apex legends changes (PLEASE READ)
Lets start off with the movement legends primarily movement like ash, revenant, vantage my main concern and probably a lot of people will agree, these are the 3 most annoying legends to fight against or go against. They have abilities to stop any skilled or competitive player this game has come to movement based matches whoever has the best movement will always come out on top unless your really skilled, or played since day one release of apex Changes to primarily movement based legends besides loba, alter, octane: now lets get to this one factor ashes passive isn't annoying as much as it use to be, but it does give players way more of an advantage. Earlier while playing, i was third partying a random fight between two squads, and this ash just dashes and 1 mags me and my squad mate we get completely obliterated by 1 guy all because that 1 ability. If you guys were to give primarily movement based legends a nerf like lets say 75hp for there max health it'd make people think hey should i push this or not instead of full sending it and just easily wiping out anybody because of that movement tech there hard crutching. Or possibly making a change to how much recoil they can control while using that passive, or tactical that makes them movement based because i cant even count how many times ive been just completely mopped up by 1 ash because of her passive. And myself im a career diamond player of 4 splits coming up so i have really good aim so its not that I'm bad or nothing its just this game isn't and FPS its whoever has the most movement wins the fight not the most skilled usually i can say around 7/10 the more movement would win lets bring the game back to an FPS im pretty sure everyone would enjoy it being whoever has more gun skill comes out on top almost 9/10. Ashes nerfs: 75 max hp, or harder to control recoil while using her passive Revenant nerfs: 75 max hp or leave as is Vantage nerfs: 75 max hp, or leave as is Now lets get to the maps, maps aren't really a concern or anything but I'd like to see more map rotations for every other week like for example 1 week has olympus, worlds edge, and storm point. And then week 2 has olympus, e-district, and another map having more rotations instead of playing 3 maps for 1 or 2 splits. Make the map rotations different every week Main concern of mine is the legend ballistic; his ultimate is fine but his tactical is to overpowered anyways you guys nerfed it making whoever got shot by it being able to shoot more bullets, i think you guys should just take away the auto aimbot and make it more of a range that you can use the aimbot at like a 15 meter - 20 meter range. Once they move out of range you can't use the aimbot on the tactical make it a little more of a fair gun fight then being stuck in the blender and shredded by 2 people jumping 1 person. What the game really needs is to go back to a FPS and not a movement based game
My top 5 wishes for the future of apex legends
1. I hope a new class of legends is added that has an ultimate which calls down a transport vehicle like a jeep, APC, helicopter or small titan. 2. I hope valkyrie gets a proper full astronaut skin, vantage a ghillie suit skin, alter a void space-suit and caustic a full hazmat lab suit skin. I’m absolutely not a fan of the endless spamming of fashion skins that apex keeps doing. I’d like to see more professional war gear type skins. 3. I hope finally the developers take some serious action in making Vantage competitively viable. The developers keep avoiding the issue of Vantage’s sniper not doing enough damage, which is never going to fix the core problem that haunts vantage. Ultimates have to be more powerful than ground loot weapons. 4. I hope the developers permanently add a fast-paced battle royale mode. Straight shot was this exactly, but then they never added it as a permanent mode, nor made the core battle royale experience faster. Beginners don’t mind boring games, for everything is new to them anyway. But the more experienced you are, the more you want the strategy and action that apex legends has to offer and less waiting around for rings to close. 5. I hope maps are made flatter so that long range weapons, and long-range spotting and ring-planning becomes easier and more impactful. Players should be able to scout out the next area in the ring in order to plan around it, and harass one another with long range snipers.Caustic Buff Ideas
I think we can all agree that Caustic is the second worst legend in the game. So let's put him back into the game, rather than him being almost non-existent. I think all of you, the Respawn and EA team, should put both of his EVO Level 2 upgrades in his base kit, and remove the Level 3 upgrade "Particle Diffuser" and simply double his ultimate radius. Breathe It In is a good upgrade idea, but it's not very strong. I think it should heal 8 HP every second. Increase his general ultimate duration to 20 seconds and make both his tactical and ultimate deal 10 damage on impact, rather than having it go up by 1 from 5 until it reaches 10. Caustic's tactical cooldown should be 15 seconds, keep the 3 charges, and extend the amount of max active traps to 8, as well as making his tactical gas last 20 seconds. His new Level 2 upgrades should be No Subject Escapes, which makes his gas slow enemies for 3 seconds when they enter his gas, (Wraith or any other legend and their abilities cannot negate this. The timer only pauses), and Master Experimenter, which gives Caustic access to extended Assault and Support bins, Recon Beacons, and gain access to scanning Care Packages. As previously stated, for his Level 3 upgrades, we should keep Breathe It In, but his new second upgrade should be Mad Scientist, which now makes it so that Caustic can infuse a grenade with Nox Gas, like charging a Rampage, (which takes 3 seconds to do), and the Nox Gas that's emitted lasts for 5 seconds dealing 5 damage per tick, not increasing. This blankets an area half the size of a gas trap area, and the gas gets released on explosion. For thermites, when the flames come out, for arc stars, if stuck on an enemy legend, releases then, otherwise, releases on explosion. Frags mirror arc stars except there is no exception, the gas is emitted on explosion. In addition to this, decrease his ultimate cooldown by 30 seconds. That's all. Respawn and EA, I hope you consider my suggestions and put them into the game. Thank you for reading this.
Please bring back tap strafing on controller
I wonder if.. because of the other buffs and stuff that brought up the rest of the game to be fun again. And if you have people in the community show how to setup stuff/just make the global configuration have the settings and add it into the games tutorial if tap strafing could still exist for controller?. And I bet the player count would go up a lot and continue to grow. If yall bring it back with transparency about it. And not one sided nonsense. The player count will skyrocket. Don't treat it like a bug. Treat it like a feature and actually implement it fully. Warframe did this well with bullet jumping. This game keeps cutting itself off right before it grows. Its been better the past few seasons and its finally at a place I felt comfortable to have this conversation. Another really big example and maybe just do this one first as a test! Add back punch boosting rebalanced? Limit how many boosts you can do like you all did the zip line change ages ago where you can only grab it 3 times. I just miss titanfall but like apex for the big maps.. Right before tap strafing got removed from controller I was learning how to wall run on revenant using it. Can still do it. But it's like I got my wings cut. Can't do anything like I used too unless my aim is 100% there.. and half the time when I bring it up I get told "switch to keyboard" I just don't like it for these kind of games. Never have. But I like the extra gameplay features keyboard gets to compensate bc it makes the game funner. Controller just got all that taken awhile ago.. I still play just not much.Suggestion to improve Apex Game completly
Hello Apex fellows, I am a veteran since season 1 and I want to address some changes that can make the game 100% better. I won't write paragraphs so here is everything that will make the game more fun. 1. Quality of life improvements; ( Refers to how the game feels to experience and these things ruin it ) 1.1 Legends displaying the heirloom at all times. Examples: Pathfinder gloves during hook, Wraith ability to throw Kunai and recover it like Bocek arrows and so many more. Nothing too crazy, but a lot of players really waited for those a lot of time. 1.2 In arena charging your Bocek, Rampage, and the gates open, automatically closes your charge window. Making those more suitable should improve quality of life a lot. 1.3 Remove screen view blocking hud notification from players knocked, items in the way of your aim, mirage bambozzels and so many more hud things that obfuscate your viewing of the enemy at narrow points where many pop ups appear. The compact setting is just not enough. 1.4 Alternative health bar display in your hud. Instead of having it in the far left, you would see more your health while in combat if it's right bellow center of your aim, thus helping you see how much damage you've taken a lot easier. 2. Ranked skill expression; Ranked is completely out of touch with how good you are at the game in the current 3v3. Making Solo ranked could completely make up for that, improve the player experience though some legends won't see play, that won't it not considerable. Arena Ranked can also drastically improve this aspect and should be essential since it's a far superior competitive mode than Battle Royale which is mostly fun and should be kept that way not allowing others action to affect your ranking alone. Skill expression is very crucial to competitive games and BR just isn't fit in current 3v3. Also adding Ranked Arenas could make up for the fact that winning feels like nothing achieved. Ranked should be a complex system between all of them not separated. 3. Legends meta I can assure you that everyone who loves apex knows that characters abilities should not be op. I'm talking solely about the tactical and ultimate. Apex is a movement + aim game, nothing else. Pushing this agenda where abilities completely take over situations should not be a thing. It's so frustrating the get Fuse ult, Valkyrie Rocket, Sparrow Ult and Ash bind that those things should just be reworked. As for the new class changes they are really good and should define what the limits to a legends should be like. Not gonna talk how some legends are completly outclass by others. Legends I personally like and feel like they are very well done are. Wraith, Pathfinder, Octane, Wattson, Catalyst, Lifeline, Mirage, Newcastle, Bloodhound, Bengalore and Caustic because he is balanced even tho' toxic. The rest either have 1 thing that makes them either too ineffective by 1 ability or too much by other. The idea is the game should not be decided by the abilities but only help with certain playstyle. Fixing some abilities is crucial here.SBMM completely broken
I'm an avid (solo) player with 200+ days (covid helped) played but I'm not a major sweat. 1.5 kd overall with a barely 4% win rate out of 20,000+ games played. I suck I know. The other day I found my matchmaking actually working (so I thought) where I was just barely on the right side of the skill hill and playing very invigorating games with a lot of fun. Getting some top 5 finishes, some butt kickings, and finally a hard fought win. But once I got that win with 5 kills and barely 1000 dmg. All of a sudden I'm now the best in the world. I'm stuck at the very very very end of the SBMM ladder like top 5% and constantly dying to pred/master with 4k and 20 bombs wall jumping insta aiming everywhere. Idk what system is being used to determine skill but if 5 kills and 1000 dmg in low level lobbies is top of the world skill status I should be getting paid and not punished for winning. SBMM is broken. Completely and utterly broken. No other way to describe it. We'd be better without it. Just random lobbies would be better than this rubbish. Apex Legends has gone downhill since the end of season 12. Now I believe it's at the bottom of the barrel. There's no way they can screw this up more. Right??? Wrong.... Instead we'll buff Wattson and add micro transactions and make no attempt to listen to our community. P.S. no one wants worlds edge or kings canyon over E district. We should never see these 2 old as dirt maps again without multiple seasons of E district. Give us new map and new legend and don't let us play it. The dumbest thing I've ever seen. WE WANT E DISTRICT! Thanks Respawn so great of you.Apex Map: Kings Canyon
To start off I also feel the rank system is broken and terrible. We have teams ratting out and teaming on one single player just to make it past first and second ring its outrageous. The major thing is King Canyon and it's terrible layout. Take it out of rank rotation. Matter of fact take it out forever. I get two tapped with vantage from across the map and cant do anything about it. I get full three stacked on as I'm trying to make it to ring. Never mind the amount of third parties I experience. The map is terrible. The rank system is disgusting. I'm starting to think Fortnite is better than this. I actually had to get off the game after two rank games because it was that bad. Disappointing really after being a fan of this game for some years.
