    my biggest problem with apex as a casual player is how difficult and competative the game has become and also the matchmaking. i go into a plat lobby and die to a masters 3 stack who are all ex pred.

    For me the biggest issue is SBMM
    For background, I am a peak gold player with hundreds of hours in the game. I am not a big sweat, and I have taken multiple breaks before.
    This season I have played well over 200 games, and I have a season k/d of 0.54. In more than half of my lobbies, I see players with master badges or pred badges. I understand that I have a skill issue, but I should not be in these lobbies still.
    I am also pretty pissed about arenas being removed, but that's a whole other rant

      the devs are the problem too, but i agree its also the player base tbh. FPS battle royale will always spawn a toxic playerbase but with Apex, whose remaining players are these try-hards who spend more than 5 hours playing this game (and are most probably experiencing a Sunken Cost Fallacy relationship with this game), the skillgap just worsens this toxicity

  • @telvanniis
    @telvanniis หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    i think the biggest issue is matchmaking. it has been a major issue with the game for many years, it's not a recent development. i have a duo i've played with since season 5, and we're slightly above average players and float around a 1.25 kdr and 5% winrate, and even back in season 6, 7, and 8 we were being put against actual pred players who obviously rolled us and we'd have take month long breaks from the game because of it. and it's STILL a major problem with the game 3 years later, it's madness.
    they very simply need to put anyone who has, within the last 4 seasons, hit masters or predator into their own pub lobbies or else literally all of the casual players will leave.

    I sort of think Apex dying is just a spiral. People have stopped playing for the various reasons that you said, they tell other people that the game sucks and is dying, those people quit and then tell other people the game is dead and they quit and it just goes on. Looking at almost any comment section on any social media (TikTok, TH-cam, Twitter, etc.), there are ALWAYS comments that are like "Apex in the big 24?" or "Apex is dead" or something like that. The matchmaking issues have also made it impossible for new players to fill the gaps of leaving players which makes the spiral worse.

    @zippylion635 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    100% biggest Issue for me is the servers. The game feels FANTASTIC to play from a mechanical stand point, from the movement to the way each character feels. It's without a doubt one of my personal favorite games of all time. The problem is... all the smooth movement and mechanics within the game break or feel awful when you're playing with lag or ping issues. i'm unsure if its due to the declining player base potentially merging a bunch of servers together or if its just some form of server issue I have no idea. But at least me and my friends' experiences with the game recently have been playing on near-constant several hundred ping lobbies. My closest server has ~40ms delay on average yet 1 in every 5 games if i'm lucky, are actually played at that ping level.
    I think after writing all of that, my REAL #1 concern with the game is how quiet things are around it. I want to know WHY me and all of my friends seem to be playing on such high ping every game. I want to play this game but if it's between apex and all of its competitors, of which run perfectly. At least for the moment, i'm having a really tough time choosing apex over everything.

    For me, the discontinue on legend based heirlooms was easily the saddest thing. Im free-to-play so most of the stuff they want you pay for or get doesn't matter to me EXCEPT the heirlooms. The thought of working so hard to get the currency needed to get a heirloom for my main is what mainly kept me going (among others reasons). I main vantage and now knowing I'll never get a heirloom for her makes me really disappointed. Its like whenever EA sees the community really liking something they make sure to make it a limited time sort of thing and never again.

It's just unfair at that point. We're both 30+ years old, we didn't grow up with FPS games, we're not "getting good" any more and are just trying to have a good time after work with our favourite legends. That's just not happening anymore. I envy every Pred who's still able to get fun out of farming us Silvers/Golds and feel sorry for every Pred who was unfortunate enough to get me as a team mate.

    I think apex needs to follow the footsteps of fortnite, make a chapter 2 of apex where they work on all the issues (servers, sbmm, cheaters) and then work on ways to include the more casual player base. The aim assist nerf for controller was a correct thing because it made people just joining the game be able to win fights against mechanically better players (which defeats the purpose of skill), it is quite balanced now (maybe still needs a small nerf) but really cannot complain. I feel like its an excuse when people say its an old game because look at fortnite, it recently reached its highest player count ever and its even older than apex,all we can do is hope another company buys apex out or something changes with the devs and ea (most unlikely though)

  • @minusforty4323

    I refuse to believe that content creators don't know what's wrong with the game. Apex has always faltered on product quality and its devoted player base had a pretty conclude reason why, the core gameplay. However, that is no longer compensating for the really miserable experience that is playing Apex Legends. SBMM, audio, predatory gambling monetization strategies, no player incentives outside of just "iMpRoVinG My SkiLls". Id be shocked if even one third of your audience has enough friends that play Apex still to fill out a trio squad. The game is a relic. Move on and find new shit to play.

    I still play the game from season 1 and being honest, I think u re right about everything, and one of the things I personally hate is, the keep changing the abilities of the legends, take lifeline for an example I use to love her shield while your teammates were on the ground ground it was amazing, I know most of the people would say, yes but you are using your teammates as an object, but if you are in a1 vs 3 situation with actual lobbies, there is no way you can raise your teammate without protection.. So first they left the shield for just one teammate, and you couldn't even redirect the shield, and than new updates, it's gone but instead given to Newcastle, wraith for using her fade you can have a sandwich between pressing the ability and doing it 😅.. I mean lifeline still boring to have it against, but for me it's gone I think from season 4-5 don't remember, cause if I get used to a legend and you keep breaking their abilities what's the point for using them.. Sorry if I messed up mixing lifeline and wraith, but it was 2 examples to say, instead of doing so many stupid legends like fuse or mad Maggie which I personally hate, fix your problems with all the original legends 😢, it used to be much more fun without all those weird skills like drilling the walls or sticking granades to all the people as soon as you touch the ground without even getting a weapon 😢

    Everyone talking about sbmm need to realize that a lot of the higher "skill" players don't want to also play pred level lobbies in pubs, that's not fun either. I don't think there should be any SBMM, sometimes you'll have an easy lobby, sometimes it'll be hard, just how it goes

    • @sublimedhaze7792

      Or the "higher skill" players need to realize that stomping on casuals in pubs is why casuals stop playing the game. And that's why you only have Preds left to fight.
      Just how it goes.

    When it's presented like this you can see very clearly just how bad it's gotten. As a season 0 player I hadn't even noticed that over time I stopped caring about all these fun things like skins, trackers, events, etc. I couldn't even tell you what skins were in the battle pass over the past few seasons. When I play now, I don't get excited about events because I know as someone who doesn't pay for event packs that there's nothing in it for me. The only thing that keeps Apex interesting for me is the comp scene (which suffers heavily from lack of incentives for orgs to stick around, poor planning by ALGS, lack of creator/org events, etc.) and grinding ranked (which I have to solo queue because all my friends who played Apex have now refused to play due to the many issues). But I know once I finally hit Masters for the first time the reward will just be lobbies full of cheaters

    Apex is a live service game but we often have to wait entire seasons for bug fixes, legend and weapon nerfs etc. sbmm is long gone opting for engagement based match making (meaning they could care less about match quality so long as you continue to queue). Alot of the games success is lack of competition and alternatives. gaming as a whole is suffering due to streamers and content creation, everyone's trying to make a buck off the game, this simply translates to more sweats, more cheats, less casuals, a constant need to stay on the game to remain skillful enough to enjoy the game, and a steady stream of individuals who justify buying skins for content.

    main reason i stopped playing is they just never fixed hit reg or audio. i might get it for a week in a season but the rest of the season without is just so frustraiting. all i ever wanted apex to do was fix their shitty servers. i don't mind dying when I've made a bad play but when ive beemed someone in the back and 2 shots out the mag regester then they turn around and kill me that's frustrating. and ive been on th other side where i should have lost gun fights but they've no regged on me and it doesn't feel good. also most of my friends got fed up with how sweaty apex has got and went to play anything else really.

  • @EmptyX_999
    @EmptyX_999 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I've been playing since season 12 and since then my best friend who got me into this game said he's never going to play this game ever again and that all started when they removed duos. That's EAs problem they don't listen to us they only care about money 💰. I genuinely don't enjoy this game as much as I used to. My biggest issue is them removing ARENAS and legend specific heirlooms. LISTEN TO YOUR PLAYERS EA that's all it takes,if they changed the game back to how it was in season 12 I would absolutely love this game and want to spend all my free time playing it. Right now the only reason I still play is because I have too much time and money in the game to quit. I'm not even playing it that often anymore I'm might just quit next season and play GTA online tbh it's more fun. That's just my take

  • @XJumpManReturnsX

    let me sum it up for you guys who cant understand. especially since pro players thought they were the reason people played apex.
    1. the game is old we've pretty much done whats to be done. the casuals are leaving
    2. they arent making the game any fun(er) its just being bled dry for cash events are garbage
    3. last 3 maps in game suck due to all the catering to pros.
    the end

    Completely agree but I don’t think you could be more wrong about the “working towards” stuff as apex is the only fps game that allowed you to flex your kills stats ect and I think that’s a good reason. Not good enough but it’s till a reason and a big one at that !

  • @Ryzilience
    @Ryzilience 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Im capable of knocking 1 member of a 3 stack team/ out play the whole squad but that rarely happens! I cant exactly 1v3 every single game whilst the audio is another problem sometimes ruining moments like that and the fact the teammate balancing is also way off the charts gives me that sense of anger (more of frustration) because you know these current devs are the reason for this game's delusion. Their lazy and they got work to do! 11k hours in too

  • @EchoEkow
    @EchoEkow หลายเดือนก่อน

    We also need them to fix the servers and tweak the audio. Cheating will always be there but we need a better anti cheat. We need to go back to 1-2 collection events per season. We need them to release more game changing modes. Yeah three strikes and revival are cool but they’re generic and aren’t game changing. We need a mode where everyone gets full on Pilot movement and Titans wander around the map and drop loot when killed. We need a melee only mode where the maps are smaller and it’s like dummies big day but no weapons.

    From ur comments, TLDR: everyone feels the game got too hard. Every sbmm complaint that isn’t about queue skips at its core, are about the game being too hard/punishing. Which is ironic because alotta apex players don’t play other games cause they “lack skill” and were originally drawn in by the cutthroat nature of the game.
