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.
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.“Devotion” balance adjustment proposal
Proposal A: Change the specification so that acceleration is given only when the weapon is maximally reinforced by “weapon arsenal”. If the weapon is in full custom state, acceleration will be given in the same way when it is strengthened by “weapon arsenal” after that. (Lowering the threat without directly weakening the ballistic, maintaining the comfort of “Devotion” at completion, and increasing the importance of “weapon arsenal”). Proposal B: Keep the performance of “Devotion” but move it to a red weapon (I would agree with a red weapon. Peacekeepers are back!)

The C.A.R
So now that ammo stacks have different sizes in your inventory I feel like it’s rather pointless to use heavy ammo with the C.A.R since (if you carry four stacks of ammo) you get 48 more rounds of ammo (almost two mags with a blue mag attachment) with light ammo. Personally I would like to see the C.A.R revamped to address this issue by making it less accurate at long range or slower fire rate and having harsher recoil but higher damage with heavy ammo. I think it should be more accurate than the flatline but harder to control than the prowler, and with light ammo it should be slightly less accurate than the r-301 but better than the r99 at mid ranges with slightly lower fire rate and have damage per bullet be somewhere in between both. Since C.A.R stands for Compact Assault Rifle I think that either way you decide to go it should feel like an in between of the respective AR’s and SMG’s for heavy and light ammo rather than just feeling like an r99 but you can use two ammo types.The full Dull aspect of apex
Well most of us probably have many opinions of apex in negative ways but let’s talk about how in general everything has been done lazy, and there are multiple ways for me to explain it , but one in particular is the game modes , boy there ain’t allot to talk about here because it’s full, of the same stuff same genre and or style of gameplay but just typically changing the goal nothing else, and to the banning system, so for this you shouldn’t get banned for leaving a limited time mode, and if you are then just ban that mode from being played on for a certain amount of time for the specific individual, yall devs are hard focused on what right now I can’t tell because most people will say it’s the characters who or the nerfs and that’s not, no I think it has to do with an opinionated bias that I’m sure is probably happening at there studios, what I mean is conflict, just wondering what are yall doing like actually , that will forsure bring yall more consistent players and maybe even a bigger social media ,Solo Q
EA must improve solo Q experience, it reached a point where the game is pointless, I get consistently insulted at, as soon as I don’t do as they tell me to, despite being the sole guy alive and that actually is doing something, plus on top of that the matchmaking is just stupid, how is it fair to you for me to fight with lvl 80 or people who can’t hit a 3k damage badge against masters, apex predators, full squads or tryharders ? I am consistently alone against every single guy in the lobby, and that’s just makes it impossible to play, not to mention that the meta is so insane ShivFPS himself doesn’t play Bangalore, and controller legends are so weak mid and endgame if the rotation is anything in the open which happens A LOT in the current maps rotation, plus to further explain the meta it makes most class and legends useless as ballistic has a free 15dmg with aimbot plus 15 if you shoot… you get punished for shooting… ash free 20dmg plus blocks you in place and has 2 jets under her to make her impossible to shoot at in close range situations, then alter basically makes the whole team disappear as soon as they need to heal or res, not to mention her ability makes any of the controller abilities useless, since she can literally bypass a building avoiding fences put to wall as well, traps or rampart walls… also loot, it feels like the game purposely decides who’ll win, as I literally can’t find my favourite gun, or combo, which is a r99 + Spitfire, G7, R301, Flatline, I only finds snipers, p2020, r45 and shotguns…Attachment Variety
Something I would like to see added that builds upon the last update is the continuation of including attachments in the game to all weapons across the board. I think adding the portal attachments like the Holographic 2x, ACOG, Kobra sight, etc to ALL weapons including the base game BF2042 guns AND portal guns that don't have some of these attachment options would enrich player choice, especially when it comes to optics. Being able to put the Kobra sight on the AK24 or a Holographic 2x on the M5A3 would be cool!
L-Star EMG needs beef up
L-Star was nerfed three times in Season 24. It may be inevitable that the damage was lowered in the first nerf. however, the nerfs since then have been excessive, making it weaker compared to other LMGs and energy weapons. It needs beef up again, such as bringing back reverse hipfire and reducing recoil.
