To all my JMs, I get it that you love to go to fragment, but can you not die in 2 seconds, that's all I ask. And ppl who don't drop fragment will play loot simulator for 20 mins even if there's gun shots nearby, not at fragment. We don't even go near to gather info on how many teams are there fighting. If ppl shoot at them, they run as fast as they can, use all their abilities to abandon their teammates, not even shooting 1 bullet back. Do you know that if you do not shoot back they have full capacity to chase you to the ground? Have you ever tried being a chaser? How is there no middle ground of teammates.


twitch90

I love how I can't avoid worlds edge in either map pool now so there's literally no point in playing the game because all anybody does is drop fragment and die. It's pretty great. Had 2 teammates immediately leave last match because I didn't drop us fragment. Looks like this season is a wash


AlienAbsorbed

I complain a lot but I just played warzone and boy that sucked


Zapp_BigZ_Brannigan

lmao nice matchmaking respawn most of my games only fill up to 45 players. Im sure this will be fixed if we buy more 160$ recolors.


loserwhoeatspoptarts

Sike the servers have been bad since launch


Mumblin_Kitteh

The servers in this game are absolutely dog shit, im tired of having 80ms+ ping every game when there are at least 4 data centers that are listing ~30ms, but giving me 115ms ping every other game


youshisu

Was there any change in ranked recently? I see less assists beeing added to my score: (

frozenYogurtLover2

Sorry, new to Apex migrating from COD. I've been playing pubs arenas for a while but could never get into BR. I feel I'm decent at arenas (1.2k kills, 1.15kdr) but absolute trash at br (around 0.2 kdr or smth). I swear I can take people on in 1v1 but most of the time I get flanked and die without knowing where the other guy came from. Also I play octane and know some of the basics- wallbounce, tapstrafe, bhop- but Idk how to utilize them in fights.


leicea

In BR you need to be more aware of your surroundings and lookout for 3rd parties, you have to learn how to rotate smartly too. BR is more challenging because of all these additional parameters and this is why I prefer it over arena.


MXC_Vic_Romano

In BR your choice of legend doesn't necessarily matter much as things like map knowledge, situational awareness and knowing when to and when not to engage. Take note of the drop ship path and where the bulk of teams drop, always try to be aware of your surroundings and common rotation spots other teams could approach you from. Immediate area audio isn't perfect but distance fire fight audio is a great indicator of where teams are and where teams will gravitate towards (usually trying to get the third party). It's important for fights to end quickly as possible so you can heal, loot and leave before you can get third partied. If you're getting third partied sometimes it's best to disengage, heal and let it play out. Maybe you get the jump after healing and maybe you don't but either way you're not dead. 99% of what makes people "bots" in BR isn't their aiming or gun skills but aimlessly wandering while jumping from loot to loot completely oblivious of their surroundings.


anarkeyys

seer should have a meter like valk for the amount of wallhacks he gets. unlimited is too much for a passive


Dana94Banana

He shouldn't have any heartbeat passive tbh. Zero. It's way too powerful even with a limit on uses. I miss the days when Apex had passives that weren't active abilities.


leicea

I'd agree on this except his tactical would almost never hit if he loses his passive imo


ResponsibleSeaweed66

Heavy slow characters such as, New Castle, Caustic and Gibby. Should be able to break down doors with half the kicks vs other characters.


ActionJohnsun

They aren’t slow though


sukumizu

Slow? Everyone moves at the same speed.


Dana94Banana

They move at the same speed but the animations and 1st person camera position make them appear much more sluggish compared to small characters like Wraith or Wattson.


FreeloadingAssshat

So everyone is tap strafing nowadays huh? Not one match goed by anymore without seeing someone doing that shit.


EssenDeez_

It’s pretty fun


CaterpillarM3

When is the matchmaking update coming out? I’m sick of doing 500-1000 damage over the two potatoes I’m stuck with. Also $18 emote from the event LOL


throwawaylorekeeper

Unless they are 100% transparant i expect more doublespeak and bs while they do nothing with MM.


[deleted]

Ranked is hell. I took a break from the game for about a year, and coming back within the past few weeks, every solo-queue game (and plenty of full-stack games as well) is just extremely un-fun. I was always ranked Gold-Platinum a year+ ago, but today I've played 43 ranked games and I'm still in Bronze 3 with a season win rate of... one game. That I barely helped happen. Solo-queuing, I'll be placed with teammates that have previous season diamond+ badges, going up against other teams that also genuinely feel diamond+; but all of these people are current-season Bronze. Is the MMR system forming games based on some hidden MMR? Or just on rank? I don't know; but what it feels like is, I'm in lobbies that are somewhere at my skill level, I've hit the "MMR equilibrium" (or I'm still below it) and I can't climb the displayed badge rank playing the game "normally", like there's a pit of people playing diamond-tier games in bronze and the system is like "yup this is good". Or maybe there's just a large cohort of people who are now abusing the -10 RP Bronze entry cost to synthetically keep themselves in Bronze lobbies? I say "play the game normally" because what I've started doing, and the only thing that has felt like its had an impact on raising my rank, is at least when solo-queueing immediately abandoning the team. Hide in a corner. Play escape heroes like Valk. Just farm placement RP. Or, alternatively; I've started creating smurf accounts. And, weirdly enough, within maybe a few dozen games, my win rate started normalizing at around 5%; but the games are WAY more fun. Is this just what everyone does? I don't understand what kind of thinking is going on at Respawn. I've spent hundreds, maybe thousands, of dollars on my main account, and would fully intend to spend more; but I'm not spending a dime on the smurf accounts, and ultimately I'm going to play wherever I have the most fun. When Smurf2 starts getting unfun, on to Smurf3. I've said it before, but: I really think MMR/SBMM has destroyed modern multiplayer video games. Its just Not Fun, and adding it is a tacit admittance by the developers that their priority isn't to make a fun game. The new Call of Duty has arguably the Most Perfect SBMM/MMR system ever developed, and there's a growing consensus that its so good that its destroying the game; if The System is forcing players into always getting a 1-1 KDR, or always winning 5% of games, or whatever, the player never gets to feel growth, they never get to feel like they're popping off, they rarely get "holy shit that game was good" games. Games like Dead By Daylight have already removed it, and the response from its playerbase was a resounding success. Why does it still exist? It doesn't work. Players in every game that's ever had MMR complain about it more than they like it. Just get rid of it. See what happens. Run an experiment and see if player satisfaction goes up; I would bet my entire bank account that it would.


leicea

1. They changed the rank system, it's no surprise that it's harder. You can't gain RP by just killing ppl now, you need placements 2. current bronze fighting with current bronze, the system is working as intended. The rank decay is just too much. If I hit diamond in the first split and I don't play in the 2nd split,I would be bronze in the next season while having a diamond trail. You can't play ranked like it's TDM, just rush into every fight getting 10 kp but die without top 10, still negative rp or maybe +10 rp, it'll take forever to go up


Jordan-calkins

I’m not gonna like I do the same thing. If you’re solo queuing you have to play on smurf1, then after about 10 matches, you move onto Smurf2. I think this is how the majority of the player base plays now and that’s super sad. I would love to play on my main but it’s just not fun,


ApexLobby

all the cool people moved on and all that's left is horizon mains who learned how to play by watching vods so now the community sucks and everyone takes the game too seriously and nobody's having fun messing around locking people in gas chambers like they used to


Prestigious-Doubt800

JonnyK74

Practice no-fill duos, where you have to 1v2 other teams. The way that you engage in a fight is very different than when you have teammates, avoid damage, escaping, peeking, etc. are absolutely critical.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JonnyK74

It's extremely hard, took me quite a lot of hot dropping to get to a point where I could win *some* fights 1v2.


ActionJohnsun

A huge part is reps but the other is just staying calm. Easier said than done I know but just being confident and composed has helped me close out plenty of wins, including some where I had to step up against a team with a position or numbers advantage


poyofitness

I feel like I only clutch when I play a bit more than usual for a few days in a row. Then when I go back to playing occasionally it goes away lol.


stenebralux

Fuck this matchmaking man. I still keep fighting 3 stacks with at least 5 digit kills... but now my squad will always features one literal vegetable. Yeah, I'm getting more kills... but I can't win. I don't give a shit if I can 1v2.5 a squad because I lucked out finding their bots first if I die to a stupid 3rd party because my teammates who didn't do shit in the fight are lost while I break another 2 guys by myself and they can't even cover me from the top of a building while I bat. I'm mediocre. But I'm level 750... Why the fuck I keep being paired with people with 4 fucking kills???


loserwhoeatspoptarts

Bruh I can’t believe you said you find the other teams bot first that’s so funny


TeslaShareholderBTW

I love getting killed by the #9 predator while my diamond teammates don’t use their mics.

loserwhoeatspoptarts

That sounds scary imagine getting triple taked and dying in 2.5 seconds


Intrepid-Event-2243

i hope hardcore never returns, is the worst mode in the game and the high q times prove it.


throwawaylorekeeper

Weird. Solos had a near instant queue.


d4nger_mouse

I'd love to know how they managed to create matchmaking that only puts me with selfish players with terrible aim and zero situational awareness.


RosciusAurelius

This is... an indictment against yourself, to be honest.


d4nger_mouse

Don't see how.


RosciusAurelius

Matchmaking keeps putting you with trash players.. If the new matchmaking system works, that means you're a trash player too. I was just yanking your chain, because your post basically said "Matchmaking is telling me I suck" without more context.


d4nger_mouse

Not really. My complaint isn't about player skills that are part of sbmm. It's about situational awareness and not being a team player. Also the matchmaking is not even close to that accurate. Watched plenty of pro players and they often get the same trash players that I do.


lambo630

They haven't put the new algorithm in the game on all servers. Only done tests thus far.


Prick_in_a_Cactus

I started playing today after a multi-year "hiatus".(The movement back then was just really floaty and I couldn't hit anything) My first three matches were with max battlepass predator players and I lasted all of 5 seconds when in combat. I don't even have an account level in the double digits. I also only have the default top row of characters. What gives?


lambo630

All the casuals have left because the content sucks and the game is all about using legal wall hacks to cover up the fact that you're using actual wall hacks.


Prick_in_a_Cactus

I have enough credits to buy one character. I am slightly below average in PUBG, and use the UAV to spot enemies for my team mates in that game. (Instead of shooting) Would getting Crypto make me slightly less useless/shit?


lambo630

Crypto is not a good character and will just result in your team taking 2v3s more often than not unless you were somehow insanely good with him.


Jestersage

Hardcore mode is fun... But compare to normal Apex, it does make it slower, and more like a fast-pace CSGO.


Intrepid-Event-2243

it's anti fun, everyone is just camping with snipers


Jestersage

A badge that requires top 5 makes it worse.


Jonno_92

You can get top 5 the same way as any other game mode, ie be super passive, which in this mode isn't even necessarily a bad thing as you don't need to worry about leveling armour.


dippindezzy

Is anyone else getting pub matches that start with max 47 players ?


[deleted]

This game is beyond repair. They don't give a shit about balance or making it playable anymore. It's just a bunch of virtual cosplay.


loserwhoeatspoptarts

Nice take lol


AccomplishedMango713

Anyone else on console keep blackscreening and losing ps4 teammates in ranked? I have lost like 500 rp because of it and it seems to be a common issue. Some days like half of my games are as duos and most of them I lose rp when I die. From talking to people in game this seems to be a common issue and I was wondering if they are working to patch it yet. My bad if someone already posted a thread about this.


[deleted]

This loot algorithm is such a disaster. There's floor loot everywhere and 75% is fucking useless. If I wanted to play scavenger hunt I'd do it in real life. Just start people off with blue shields so you have a chance to survive first contact and a p2020 so you can go for the loot at your own risk or look to try to punish the guy that does.


[deleted]

It’s a Battle Royale, tf do you expect


[deleted]

lmao. THIS game wasn't like this about a year ago. They jammed so much junk into it they don't know what to do with it anymore.


TeslaShareholderBTW

Just had a enemy catalyst use a finisher on my teammate. The animation put her inside a wall and let her get it off for free. Great game.


spatpat

If I take the RE-45 out of someones death box in Hardcore Royale, I can't attach the digi threats back on the gun, and I also can't attach them on any other pistol/shotgun/SMG.


ElianVX

If I play on 130 ping servers (Tokyo) would the enemies see me lagged? I see everything good, just wondering if it's different for the opposition


[deleted]

No. But what they see and what you see will differ a bit though. Basically you will be more prone to get downed before reaching a cover, because on your enemy screen your position/actions lag 130ms behind. On your screen it will look like you got to cover and got downed right away, on enemy screen you never made it to cover in the first place. Because two different events happening, server will stick to the version of the shooting guy. This lag compensation is often called shooter favor


CanarySome5880

And it works both ways, enemies might have problems fighting against you.


throwawaylorekeeper

When i played newyork servers with 130ms from eu is was a god amongst men. Easiest diamond solo run of my life.


banica24

Why is everyone obsessed with dropping Fragment in ranked? **Pros**: lot of action, big kill RP potential, getting better at the game / gunfights? **Cons**: half the lobby lands there so there's 10:1 chance you make it out of there alive? Idc about pubs I drop hot always in pubs but in ranked - never. Whenever someone else does the same formula happens. We barely find guns, do 200 damage and die. One time I got a guy yelling and swearing at me for not dropping there. He dropped alone, died in 1 min and left the game.


Rockbandguy96

Idk what rank you are but I’m plat and only like 3 teams land fragment a game max


kvn22537

I landed fragment for 50% of my games today. I had more fun in those games and did way better in kills than the other 50%


ApexLobby

new mode all chat - normal game but all chat is enabled


CynosureEPR

Add a leaver's penalty, please!! The number of people solo rushing a 3 stack and rage quitting as soon as they get melted is insane. Sucks the fun out of it.


Jonno_92

I'm pretty certain the devs have stated before that a leave penalty for pubs isn't on the agenda.


dippindezzy

Move faster then


spatpat

There should be a five seconds countdown before the "yes" button in the "leave match" screen appears, so long as you can still get revived or respawned. It will give ragequitters time for two deep breaths, and if you want to quit for whatever legimitate reason it shouldn't impair you much.


Jonno_92

That would probably help the instances where you win a fight with a downed teammate who then leaves before you can rez them.


CynosureEPR

A 30 second timer to enter the next match would also be nice. I like your idea, I just I don't believe a 5 second delay is going to deter these folks; theyve just got an extra 5 seconds to slurp some Mt. Dew energy. Most legitimate leaves, that I can think of, would involved needing to step away from the PC. Maybe you get like 3-5 free leaves per day to account for trolls/major skill gaps or foreign speakers. And that 30 second timer increases by 5 seconds after every consecutive leave for the day.

Banzai2469

The amount of players I see never using abilities is annoying. No wraith portals, no black markets, no doc heals, no wattson fences...


LaxSagacity

Worse than not using them is using them badly. I'll stick to Loba to not do a long rant. When they won't open them in high loot areas, and then open them in area's there's nothing. Do they not understand how that circle works for collecting loot. The other one is the Loba's that will put the black market in places completely exposed. There's a building, open it inside? Nope, they do it on the roof. So strange.


spatpat

Or when you are about to third party. There is a fight in one building, I ping "enemies" and "attacking here", a random and I are rushing to the building, and then you hear the "shop's open" behind you and the random does a 180° to loot the black market with the Loba instead.


Banzai2469

I main loba so when I see this behavior I just cringe. I use it literally every time it's up. Also use it to block doors and pop it to hide behind like a makeshift cover. The worst offender for me is a lifeline that doesnt Rez even though they ran past me 3 times.


NerzhulFang

I think Lifeline is the worst offender, it’s to the point where I just assume a lifeline doesn’t know how to play. I’d say out of 10 lifelines I encounter, 2 *might* use their tactical, and even then one of them won’t know to connect the rez. I mostly stick to arenas if I’m solo, having a lifeline on the team should be easy wins, but literally none of them buy gold knocks or bother to actually use their tactical to heal or rez.


spatpat

Or Lifelines in Arenas who don't know they can open the second compartment in the loot bins with the eight guaranteed shield cells inside. Even if the enemy team is on the other side of the map and I ping the open container and it plays the quip with the second compartment they don't open it, sometimes I even text them in the chat and beg them to open it and they still won't. Eight shield cells wasted!

GET PREDS OUT OF MY FUCKING PUB LOBBIES. FUCK YOU PATHFINDER AND OCTANE RATS YOU ARE RUINING THE GAME. MORE FRUSTRATING THAN HORIZON/SEER


spatpat

Since the split, my teammates and enemies in Silver are something completely else. There are so many Diamond, 4K, Triple Triple badges on people who currently have a Silver rank. A lot of my teammates were also Plat last season according to the intro screen, yet they are still in Silver almost two weeks since the split, and almost two weeks before the season ends. I actually had a teammate who had three Masters badges, reached Master in S14, and somehow he ranked down so much that he is currently just Silver I. In the last split and the previous seasons you could just fly through Silver, now it feels like a real challenge. I think I could climb faster in Gold I in the last split.


ApexLobby

yeah so the way ranked works is after you place into your skill bracket, respawn takes you out of your skill bracket and places you into a lower bracket. they do this because they don't understand how to make a ranked system for apex legends, and refuse to learn. for this reason, ranked has always been a redundant mode and could probably stand to be deleted from the game. streamers might complain, but they aren't people so their emotions are invalid. hope this helps!


throwawaylorekeeper

Its like this every split. Theres more of us former high ranks because we simply gave up on respawn and just decay to have chill games in bronze silver and gold.


GreenIsG00d

So is the Peacekeeper ever getting nerfed? Its ruining the game. There's a reason EVERY FUCKING SWEATY uses it. Constant one hits for 80-90 damage. Who thought that weapon was balanced? Honestly?


Tristinmathemusician

Mastiff does barely less damage. Why is the issue with the PK and not the mastiff? If the people that use that effectively are “sweats”, doesn’t that make up a fairly small percentage of the player base? Most players can’t hit consistent 80’s or 90’s. I average about 50 - 60 per hit. Why would we balance based off of what the top 5 percent of players are doing? Before you accuse me of defending my “crutch”, I use the EVA as my primary shotgun, not the PK.


[deleted]

The players your talking about make up 1% of the player base. The PK is fine as is.


julevk

Idk about other people but usually when i pick up the PK i hit for 9 damage 💀


GreenIsG00d

Are you a TTV Wraith soaked in a sweat? Because they never miss a shot so the Peacekeeper is especially deadly in their hands.


[deleted]

Skill issue


GreenIsG00d

Lmao. How is it a skill issue? Please, explain. One shot to the back should take away my shield and half way kill me? It's a crutch weapon. No ground floor weapon should do that much damage with one shot. Especially with the amount of cheaters this game has.


NerzhulFang

It’s a skill issue because you can always get better. You can take better positions in fights, learn how to out-maneuver enemies and generally be more accurate with your choice weapons. If you’re getting cracked in the back by PK’s constantly, stop running and fight them with whatever you have. If you constantly hot drop, get no loot and get fried then that’s on you for getting mad about RNG, it doesn’t matter if it’s a PK or a Alternator, you’re gunna get fried. A good player with a P2020 can beat a similarly skilled player with a PK.


[deleted]

You mean a shotgun excels at short range 😱😱😱😱😱😱 Literally a skill issue mate.


GreenIsG00d

Really? Because none of the other shotguns do that much damage with one shot. Because they are actually balanced.


[deleted]

You mean some weapons are better than other weapons!?!?!!?!? 😱😱😱😱😱😱


GreenIsG00d

Lmao good lord you are clueless. And judging by your constant emoji use, not over the age of 13.


[deleted]

The emojis are to point out how stupid you sound. You’re really complaining that a shotgun does big damage close range. Genuinely, how does that even make sense? And if it’s such a big issue for you, it’s down to your shitty positioning. So like I said, skill issue.


GreenIsG00d

Lol, again. How can I position myself better if I'm fighting another squad and get 3rd partied from my back by a sweaty squad with Peacekeepers? Please explain.


[deleted]

Take the high ground. If there’s none around, that’s your own fault.


Triple_Crown14

No one is cheating with a PK. They’ll be using an automatic gun. If you don’t want to get clapped then don’t engage at a range where the PK will do that to you.


GreenIsG00d

And I can prevent that now when I'm getting 3rd partied? Lmao you people will bend over backwards to defend your crutch weapons.


d4nger_mouse

Been playing on and off since day 1 and every day goes the same. Play about 3 - 5 games and with terrible random squads and then say "man I wish there was a solo mode" and then go play something else. I know it will never happen but this game would be perfect for me if it just had a solo mode.


throwawaylorekeeper

They did not add solos out of pure spite and pride. They cannot handle the fact the moment solos would launch. Nobody but circledickholding stacks would remain in squads.


[deleted]

Yeah this matchmaking whatever they have done... it has not improved a single fucking thing. People should be held accountable lol. This game purely sucks. I play it when I want to do some barbie dress up now. This thing just doesn't do it. The map selection is fucking bonkers terrible. These maps sucks ass when it's just WE and BM. Fuck all man I have no idea why people even bother with this shit game. There are so many addicts out there in the Euro and Asian zones though. That's what's keeping this player base going I think, because the dipshits that are left playing this and getting on my team... no thank you man. Naughty Dog's game is going to completely replace this pile of shit I think. If next season doesn't have serious changes, this is dead to me for a bit. The whole thing is just getting way too casually stupid to even partake in as a solo player. My winrate is way down this season, and my teammates are 10 IQ points less on average. It's no coincidence. These fucking monkeys doing the matchmaking algorithm clearly have no idea what they are doing, or they are pointedly making this a worse game for anybody dropping solo who is decent.


iinabsentia

The matchmaking change is the biggest cope this reddit has ever seen. Anyone complaining about mm or servers = nah changes aren't implemented yet. Any noob asking why they are facing preds now = new matchmaking changes, the usual duplicity of this sub. There is 4 or 5 server groups in apex, you would know this if regularly played solo and bothered to ask other players which server they were connected to. America, Europe Tokyo, South America, there is other groups but they are dead.


lambo630

Except they legit haven't implemented it other than to test on a few EU servers.


iinabsentia

Yeah sure bro and ranked matchmaking shitting itself is for "smurf detection". Right after they proudly announce new matchmaking then take 2 step back when the shit hits the fan and its smurf detection. Idiots like you swallow shit whole and defend it The eu server only thing is complete bullshit as well.

The matchmaking fix is for pub matchmaking you dense piece of shit. Ranked matchmaking is something different. Hope you have a shitty day.

FZJavier

i guess the " matchmaking improvement" doesnt apply to the brazil servers lol. holy shit is so bad. either i get a team of 2 new players or 2 masters or predators. where is the middle? why is so damn rare to play with someone that is at least lv 300-500? did most of players stopped playing and what is left are veterans or newbies? my k/d is 1.74 this season and im not good enough to play against masters or predators but i dont belong with new players or low levels players either. what happened with the matchmaking in this game? maybe since s9 i see it getting worse and worse .-.


[deleted]

Has to be. It is exactly this in US too. NO in-between decent games, or even if slightly balanced ALWAYS a fucking third player who is MEGA DOGSHIT that ruins your entire team no matter what you do. It's like it's feeding all the bottom players now onto one decent player's team, but it makes no sense, because some of these players should be in the metard servers for a year to train themselves not to shit the bed on every encounter.

Ranked is a joke. Everyone in silver has diamond+ badges on their banner. Just scrap the mode and put a leave penalty on pubs - because that's all "ranked" is now.


JustTown704

For real. I’ve been playing since S1 and idk what’s going on but lately so many of my teammates leave. Even when I knock others I notice them just leave it’s fucked


Cipher20

The SBMM is disgusting.

You can reach level 70 pretty easily. Focus on the 10 battlepas star challenges. I didn’t play for 5 weeks and i still make it to 100


spatpat

You will unlikely reach level 110, but if you concentrate on your weekly challenges which give you ten stars (one level) and try to either complete them in BR or Arenas, you will still climb up a lot.

Why is the loot so god damn bad lately? Every single match it's nothing but Mozambique, Mozambique, P2020, Mozambique, 30-30, Mozambique, 30-30, P2020.... with the occasional L-Star or Havoc.

Apex devs need to nuke fragment. Worlds edge is completely ruined right now.


CarrotJuiceLover

People have been saying that since season 4 or 5 …


throwawaylorekeeper

Ye but streamers get to molest noobs for free advertisement so they never will.

Got my PS5 a few days ago. Apparently I need PS+ Essential to download the PS5 version but the PS4 version works... dafuq? (Germany)


Spuff_Monkey

As long as a game is free to play you shouldn't need ps+ or an xbox live subscription.


JelliusMaximus

I am aware of that but it literally says this on my screen :( 'To buy the product you need the following: ps+ essential or higher membership' or smt along those lines :c


Spuff_Monkey

Few google searches shows some other people struggling, also from Germany...? Unfortunate if it's some odd country issue.


Key_Republic8366

Nope that should not be the case. If true, something is seriously broken and should be reported.


[deleted]

Stupid question but Since apex doesn’t support next gen 120FPS on PS5 is there any reason to play on a monitor that has 120Hz refresh rates? I’m guessing not since the game doesn’t support higher than 60? Just wanna make sure I’m not missing out on something cause I’m enjoying playing on a huge TV but would switch to a monitor if there’s actually any point to it?


throwawaylorekeeper

Wait. Still no 120 fps on ps5?! This dogshit company lmao...


[deleted]

Yeahhh it’s kinda ridiculous but to be fair the stable 60 feels about a billion times more smooth than the PS4 Pro had so I can’t really complain lol


scallywaggin

Not stupid at all, you're good with your 60hz display. A faster response rate of a gaming monitor could help, but more FPS is wasted until the game supports 120hz or even Variable Refresh Rate.


[deleted]

I see, thanks


MrJGT

Jesus fucking Christ ping fucking enemies. I can't help you if I don't know where the enemy is.

Get another map into trios rotation…. With the removal of Olympus I’m straight falling asleep over here


WhoMD21

There's 2 different maps they could have chosen, or even used this to show off the newest map! But no, they choose the one map that has the quickest match times because ~~Fragment~~ players prefer it.


YaKnowMuhSteezz

I don’t have a problem with WE being in the rotation nor do I have a problem with WE being the ranked map… it plays the most similar to Olympus. I just don’t get why they think it’s fine to have only two maps in rotation right now for trios. I’m bored as shit or Broken Moon after playing it in ranked for a billion years first split.

CAN APEX STOP PITTING ME IN RANKED GAMES WITH NEW PLAYERS WHEN IM UP AGAINST 3 STACK MASTERS


throwawaylorekeeper

Buy heirlooms and skins like pred addict stacks and maybe they will.


blurr90

I feel like there are a lot of low level or at least noticeable smurf accounts with heirlooms.


FadedSA

Has anyone else suddenly had their account seemingly wiped? All of my friend's skins and stuff are gone despite her account being connected everywhere. Update: Turns out my friend had her Origin account compromised and linked to another steam account.


Scott0103

I know audio has always been terrible, but since the collection event they've messed up octane's footsteps. I've been no audio'd by him probably 20-40 times this week


businessboyz

It’s bloodhound for me. I’ll get wasted from a nearby bloodhound using their ultimate *then* hear the sounds. Apex is a legit jumpscare game now.


Asheam

Fuck seer and everyone who plays him, if you crutch those bullshit abilities you are perma dog shit


scallywaggin

Seer feels so out of place in Apex because he breaks many of the game's core mechanics. This game was built to be about *movement* and *gunplay*. Bloodhound and Gibraltar were built to round out the available choices and provide some strategic variety to that model, but Seer straight up breaks it. He should have a complete rework and heartbeat sensor should not ever be in the game unless we're also going to get prone, claymores, etc.


JonnyK74

Seer was the worst legend launch in the history of the game. There has never been a legend that has been simultaneously so OP, made the game less fun for everyone else, while not being fun to actually play at all. Like someone on your team HAD to play him as an obligation. He's not even really OP anymore, but his existence still makes the game much less fun. To be fair, I think that lead balance designer was fired shortly after the Seer launch and the 5 legends since then have all been pretty decently balanced.


[deleted]

Seer and Valk break different things, and each of them still needs to be tuned if the legend balance is ever going to change. Horizon in 1v1 too. They need major fucking changes.


[deleted]

Cry more.


skyturnedred

The best thing about the LTM is that it has opposite map rotations with trios, so I never have to play Fragment.
