@ChronicallyMadx Totally understandable. I just wish the devs would admit that the character isn't a good fit for the game - take her out - rework - implement again more balanced (with other abilities and perks). Enjoy Tomb Raider! ๐ค
@Stuhni I hate the current meta, Axle and the fact that ranked is just a large-scale TDM with no incentive to actually get people to play for the win. Feels like my regular trio is the only one in the lobby wanting to play zone and win the game ๐ซ
Rage bait aside from my reply to this ๐ญ
There is quite a bit wrong with the game and a lot of it is combination of a few things.
-early game TTK is far too low, apex is known for its higher TTK. Lowering it makes zero sense, it's basically warzone gameplay in early to mid game.
- lack of lore and content. We used to have Bloodhound story missions and ash story missions in the map.. I can't remember the last time we had a good lore drop in a map and a lot of this has to do with leakers leaking shit before players can experience it and the writing staff is pretty much gone.
- apex is extremely hard to get into, unless you've played it for awhile. It's NOT casual friendly. Every mode is a sweat fest, I blame this in large part to the games SBMM system
- too much movement, it used to be the occasional octane pad or pathy grapple.. now you got axel, octane, pathy, horizon, ash dashes, fuse launches, vantage jumps... There is SO MUCH going on in the game in terms of movement that the average person can't keep up and makes the game overall less fun
-power creep. Apex USED to be.. 1 passive, 1 tactical and 1 ultimate... Now you got passives that do 2-3 things, tacticals that have 3 charges, ultimates with 3-4 charges... You have EVO upgrades, and now even corrupted attachment upgrades to a legend... There are SO MANY power ups and abilities in the game that it's made the game less tactical and far more ability heavy, it was never like that before.
- ranked is Pubs with a badge. No one knows how to rotate, position, when to push and not to, how to disengage from a fight, how to coexist with an enemy team in a final circle. Everyone just apes and turns their brains off
-to the previous point. There are WAY too many ways to come back in this game. Deathbox respawn, respawn beacons, craft banners at crafters, stationary respawn beacons. Anyone else remember the days when apex was a unique BR because it did have a way to come back (respawn station) but that was the ONLY way to come back? Now you got like 5 and that's made players play the game goofy and plays like one large TDM with a variable respawn timer
- lack of content. Apex has pretty much ALWAYS had this problem, but combined with others it makes it worse. Cod has things like gun game and hide n seek.. Fortnite just has plethora of fun modes. Apex mixtape.. wildcard... That's it.. and even then those aren't all that great. If you want players to stay on longer than they should, you need to give them casual options other than sweating your dick off in every mode.
-"pro mentality" because of the lack of casual content... Everyone's gotta be the best... Every mode is a sweat fest, the community complains on the daily how this needs nerfed and this needs to be removed... AA needs to be nerfed (againlol). I'm not hating if you want to improve yourself as a player, but overall the game is filled with basement dwelling losers in this community and it makes it quite unenjoyable for the average person looking to hop in and goof with friends.
- previous point has led to a lot of other problems, like rampant cheating
Overall.. the game isn't casual friendly... But long time players and even pros will say that the game constantly struggles to pick a lane (core focused v casual focused) and I don't disagree with that narrative, but atp apex has made itself a game where it's very difficult for new players to ease into and long term casual players to consistently grind out... Lack of content, lore, sbmm, ape mentality etc.
Apex is a game that has become absolutely insufferable to the average person looking to get into it and barely tolerable to the every day apex player
@draynilla Season in it self feels good, but they need to rework Axle and remove stun from Seer Q.
For every hour they dont do anything with Axle is an hour the devs should be deducted in salary.
Also no changes for ranked is a massive disapointment - now its just a "BR ranked TDM style"...
@TiffaJessi@Respawn Axle needs a hard nerf. I'm so tired of the whole character... For Seer i'd just remove the whole stun effect and replace it with slow on movement-abilities/momentum (like: hit Giby with Seer Q and he goes from supersprint to normal sprint for 1 sec.), but keep ability silence.
@RSPN_Hideouts Credit when credit is due, thanks for showing us that console also gets some love ๐ซก๐ Hopefully this will lead to a lot of bans for those using cheat devices (feels like 2-3 team in each D4+ lobby on console) ๐ค
@ChronicallyMadx@HeyRoyall They need to rework the whole character. She's horrible for the game, and if these devs actually did their job they taken her out and changed both the tac and ult. The tac/disc should break after 3 use or 10 sec. Ult should only deal dmg, not stun or yeet you into oblivion.
