Used to be a lot of fun, but the game is in its worst state. Respawn wont make any changes that matter, and EA is obviously more focused on the financial side of apex. SBMM is not SBMM, is EBMM (engagement based matchmaking). You WILL get put with people worse than you if you are above average, and you WILL be put against 3 stacking players regardless of the gamemode you play. If you are new to apex and want to get into it without any fps experience, good luck. Its the harshest and most unforgiving game for casual and new players. Developers dont play test maps and characters enough, the audio is dog (i know BR audio can be hard but when there's a guy sprinting right next to me and no gunfire and I get zero audio, there's a problem). The Meta of the game is one you are forced to play if you want to win, characters balancing is so far off that half of the players are hardly seen. Gun play is and always will be r301, car, volt, wingman, flatline, and scout, maybe havoc, because they are unbreakable meta. Healing sound got reworked which takes away most audio. Gamemodes that everyone loves are rarely around and are most of the time implemented for promotional purposes. Teammates will literally get knocked and be in the middle of getting revived and just leave the game forcing you to play 2v3 or even 1v3 which unless you are in a bot lobby or have two reasonably skilled players means you will either be forced to rat for third parties or die. You are forced to land hot if you want to have a good game with good loot and decent damage/skills, which means dealing with an extremely unreasonable amount of RNG. Loots bins are wacky, ill open 4 off drop and get a p2020 and a bunch of grenades while buddy boy gets a blue armor and a volt with a med kit. But i would be able to look past all of that nonsense if it werent for the worst "SBMM" ive ever experienced. You play good? hell even if you play bad but manage to make it to the end of the game with a few kills, straight to brazil. Right into the depths of the 3 stack, 4k, 20 kill, master lobbies. And most of the time, the teammates that you get paired with are so horribly bad, that even if you threw a full loadout at them, they would still die to a white armor master player. Oh but dont worry!! if you die off drop 3 times, or even more, maybe you got 3v1'd or no audio'd, then you get put into a bot lobby with the other teams being made of vegetables. funny enough, every time i have gotten a bot lobby, one or both of my teammates are always my skill level or better than me, and they take up most of the kills and damage. resulting in a subpar game, and also an unenjoyable one, if im honest i hate bot lobbies I dont like shooting at potatoes its no fun. But i also dont like being 1v3 against a masters team with to carrots on mine. I know its "an opportunity to improve" but it shouldnt have to be, by all means put me against a masters team, BUT GIVE ME REAL TEAMMATES, NOT THESE RESPAWN NPCS. and if you're gonna give me a bot lobby, MAKE MY TEAMMATES ALSO BOTS, so that the other teams have a chance. i can 100% tell when im going to win a game the second i figure out the pace of the lobby. the way this game is going right now, say what you will but it is going to die, pro teams are already pulling out, streamers are playing it less and less, youtube is dismissing it, casual players are throwing it aside, no one is talking about it, and everyone is getting sick and tired of the complete wrong changes. when the changes come they are either exactly the opposite of what we needed, or they are a large sweeping dismissal of what we really wanted. the developers are forcing you to play the game how they want, instead of making choices for the health of the game and the health of the player base, they are making their own choices. but alas, i will continue playing it because of its movement engine, there are no better one available but when one does come, apex will perish. remember, dont forget to eat you SBMM steak with a side of BR potatoes, and if you dont like it we will force it down your throat. oh you want $120 dollar heirloom skin salt with that? perhaps a nice cup of no audio aquafina to wash it down.

I've played this game since it was first released, a simple game with fun gameplay and endless exploration. I revisit the game every few months to see the updates, and to start a new playthrough. Though the devlopers seem to be updating everything that doesnt need attention. Combat has always been buggy, and mobs will fall into blocks with no collision making their headshot hitbox unhittable. The zombies hidden inside houses arent scary just annoying, a fight that you have to take with usually 2-5 zombies, for awful loot and most of the time more zombies than lootable containers. Dogs and crawlers shouldnt be able to give you a concussion or stun you multiple times over as they are less than waist level entities. Constant audio glitches and basically omnipotent mobs, very unenjoyable ranged physics, super uproportional stamina usage, and straight up autistic enemy scripts. I get you're gonna be weak at the begginning, and ♥♥♥♥ maybe 5 swings of a big club would make you tired, but 5 hits with a spear should not run be out of stamina. Like i dont understand why developers insist on not only making you play the game how they want, but also thinking that Harder=More Interesting. I get its the apocalypse, things are hard, but im not finna find 3 clips worth of 5.56 on a nurse zombie and then nothing in a barricaded house's kitchen in any apocalypse scenario.
