If SBMM was removed from Call of Duty, these would be the benefits:
- Faster matchmaking
- Better connection
- Quitters will have their spots filled faster
- More variety in types of players you encounter
- More variety in your performance which makes the experience less stale
- Lower skill friends you party up with will no longer be stomped
- More variety in weapon use
- Matches are less fatiguing, so players spend more time on the game
PUT E-DISTRICT INTO THE RANKED ROTATION. YOUR DOG SHIT GAME IS DYING AND YOU ARE THE PRIME REASON IT IS DYING. FIX IT. IM CRASHING THE FUCK OUT. @Respawn
Apex needs to stop trying to be both a casual and competitive game. Focus the game around competitive and add a sandbox mode for casuals to make their own content.
Season 13 was the most competitive apex had ever been. It didn’t even last a whole split before they were making changes to make it more casual friendly. Their reasoning was that people were quitting the game at a higher rate or playing less. Of course they were? Because the game flips back and forth constantly from ultra competitive to a joke. Trying to pander to both audiences makes it worse for both. Pick one (casual or competitive) and let it ride.
Open up a sandbox mode with financial incentive for map makers. If you let people earn commission on your game, they will work for you and make all the casual content you need. Good content will rise to the top and bad will sink to the bottom. You offload all the risk of releasing a major gamemode or changes and just “hoping” it does well.
Tl;dr game can’t decide what identity it wants and therefore lacks one entirely
@InfyPooh@Respawn@EA Reposting to boost this. I honestly hope respawn does this and other posts like it. Fortnite is hitting record numbers while Apex keeps getting lower. I still love the gunplay and movement but Apex needs to have more casual modes and far less strict SBMM
Dear @Respawn@EA no one will probably care, I’m not a big creator or that well known, but pls do something. Pay attention to what other games are doing that make them fun. You guys continuously do not listen, and when you do it is FAR too late.
The 3 stack mindset of this game is genuinely going to kill the game, maybe yall don’t care and it’s probably too late to bring back tbh, but we have been screaming this at you for literally 2 years straight. Get rid of SBMM or at the very least make it much lighter. PLEASE prioritize solo queue players, this alone will bring back a lot of people.
There isn’t and hasn’t been a game with better fps mechanics than Apex. You struck the literal gold mine of fps mechanics but continuously ignore that fact and push out updates that makes it even harder to utilize mechanics. Make movement more accessible for the average player, or hell idc anymore nerf the movement techs so that you can add more characters with fun abilities. Fortnite is QUITE literally stealing your entire player base with the wall running and wall bouncing update.
The control/support characters being the best classes is destroying the way people play the game. Everyone is forced to sweat. The game is pushed into a weird place where it’s trying to please both the casuals and the comp players. That shit needs to stop, the ruleset needs to be different, ranked needs to be hard, pubs needs to not feel like ranked. It’s that simple.
We need a better reward system, doesn’t have to be like call of duty’s, just add a skin for level 50 guns and then for level 100 or hell copy cod, who cares, make a bronze, silver and gold skin, when you unlock gold for everything you get an even better skin. Use the weapon level system for this, it was a good idea, just executed extremely poorly. We also need more badges, add 5k badges, add funny stat badges and trackers, etc.
Set out to make a more positive meta shift instead of just nerfing the current meta to the ground then buffing the shit out of the other stuff. This will help so the meta changes more naturally rather than just instantly as soon as the update drops. THE HAVOC SHOULD NOT OF BEEN NERFED THE OTHER ARs SHOILD HAVE BEEN BUFFED. Idk why that’s not obvious but I digress.
Work with your creators/pro players. Ik the casuals complain, but trust me they know what they’re talking about, probably better than any single one of your devs. It’s blatantly obvious the devs don’t play the game nearly as much as the CC’s or pro players, WHY WOULD THEY? They already work on it for 8+ hours a day, I don’t blame them and us as a community shouldn’t either. We should just be pushing for creators and pros to be able to work closer with the devs.
Lastly, the seasons are too long. The dual battle pass was a good idea, but again… done far too late to make an impact. The new season updates need to be more, try new things, even if no one likes them at least the game would be fresh. If this task is too difficult, then PLS for the love of god EA just make apex 2 on an easily updatable engine. While you’re at it upgrade the servers.
Apex players: we are giving up too easily, we gotta come together on every single one of their posts and ask for change, and hold them accountable. Stop spending money on this game, you are FEEDING this.
