Not surprising. It's reddit, a known cesspool. The mods gatekeep everything and any sense of valid negativity towards apex, they are quick to remove it. Ridiculous
There’s just nothing fun in this game, no new guns in almost 2 years, shit weapon meta, dead maps in rotation, I mean the only reason I’d play is to complete challenges to finish battlepass
Players received a big insult from the EA/Respawn, when they received unfair matchmaking. Because when you can't have fun playing for 20 matches because your enemies are too strong, it definitely feels like an insult. This is probably the main reason why they don't want to come back.
Tbh, the game couldve still have been fun without standard new guns though more ltms with guns made specifically for it instead, like the grenade launcher we are supposed to currently have, or the throwing knife, hell they shpuldve done that exact thing with the bow, make unique guns actually feel unique,make an ltm for only krabers or something, make a ltm where guns are disabled and everyone only has their fists and abilities, basically like a massive fight night boxing ring which would be awesome btw if done right Part of the issue is adding a new legend each season, they made a standard for players who now expect a new legend each season and now theres too many legends, they cant balance Seer or others because theres too many others that they keep focusing on, what they shouldve done was add a new legend every few season, why? Because not only would that allow them to properly balance the new one but also allow enough people to thorughly enjoy that character before a new legend comes along, you may think a season is long enough but imagine if it went new legend one season, big LTM the next like the War Games ltm in S8 which was half assed btw but if they actually delivered on it, it couldve been much better, or the ltm where Maggie caused those ring flares which also gave us the ring domes we have now, big ltms means the game can feel fresh without feeling different while a legend every few seasons can increase the longevity of the game, imagine if the lesser picked legends had been given a better start, like Seer who was broken af at firat and is now just unpicked because he sucks or Valk who was meant to provide a more mobile alternative to an evac tower only for them to add exactly that but better anyways, making her ult pretty useless in comparison
Yea that's huffing some strong copium, because I enjoy FPS games, and I don't care how badly I enjoy the mechanics of Apex I won't be going back. The game had it's time in the sun and now it's time to move on. I will be blunt in saying this, but I feel like "professional" esports and content creators are the downfall of FPS games. There is no hunt for a meta, Day 1 content creators already have a video for it. There is no hunt for changes done to the game, content creators have already released a video covering every change a day before it happens. Then there is the "support" the pros provide which is very little outside of viewership. Viewership is not a player base though, and viewers also aren't paying customers.
I have put thousands of hours into apex and I absolutely love the game mechanics. I also think that it's incredibly boring right now and I can't be bothered to even log in to look at the events anymore.
The game is still incredible, but it's also been out for 5 years and not a ton has changed. And this is the type of game you have to play a lot to stay sharp....when the player count is this low it's ONLY sweats. When the player count is high there is a much better balance of skill in every lobby. I hate to see it happening because Apex really is a great game.
true, pubs is just sweaty atm, ranked is fine around high plat to masters but super sweaty in bronze, silver and gold because of all the smurfs etc etc. Just not feasible for new players. I Dont think its gonna die anytime soon tho, prolly will follow the overwatch route where hardcore fans still play the game and its just the ultimate sweatfest at that point
Interesting how the player number goes up when they bring back revival and then the numbers go down again after they remove it. Look at the player count and compare it to them adding in game modes and then the dip when they remove them.
When winning is the only thing that makes you happy, apex is gonna break the strongest of people eventually. New blood will freshen the comp scene as people leave, hopefully 🤞🤞🤞
For real. Competitive mfs making the devs bend to their will while they make up only 10% of the player base is insane. The 90% of casual players get walked over
For real. We really need to stop praising the game when a small good change happens. This game is fundamentally broken and no amount of matchmaking or nerfs will instantly solve the problem. Let's not praise Respawn and EA for idk... doing their actual jobs. And they do it like crap anyways. I'm not getting on this game when they say, "ohhhh we changed the matchmaking and some nerfs." I'm tired of it at this point and they don't want to do the work then I'm not going to play a broken store simulator
JMeyels is so guilty of this. There’s one tiny positive change which should be standard and he gets so excited and says the devs listened and the game is saved.
@gregtellez6 yes he does do that and it is annoying. Like stop praising them, just say thank you for doing said thing and keep doing your jobs. People who have now left (like myself) it took me so long to finally say I'm done and moving one to other games, some little change isn't going to make me come back, I'm done for at least a year and if the game doesn't change than I'm just not playing it. Maybe that's what they want, all of us to stop playing apex so we can hop on battlefield BR when it comes out again.
@@soultaker0469 ya it’s unfortunate because this game was so great. I barely play now, maybe once a week if I’m lucky. It’s all the same, the players allowed this to happen by not holding the devs accountable for ripping us off and crushing the game. I honestly think most content creation around this game is what killed it.
@gregtellez6 I finally stopped about a month ago and see no reason to even play for 1 day, just done with it. And yeah no one was putting fire on the devs to make the game better, whales buying the skins and everyone else buying them. All the game is, is a store simulator first, gameplay second. Mobile gotcha games play better then this game. Such a great game it could be, but fails because it cares too much about selling skins, which is crazy because if the game was great and ran great more people WOULD buy the skins. At this point I just want the game to die completely so we can all move on from the addiction
What good news? Game is stupid rn. Drone following, healing people is dumb. Passive healing after res is dumb. Needs to be half the speed at minimum. Why the hell didnt they address these 2 things which is the major issues? 2 shot ded with mastiff is dumb. Horizon being able to slide and skip sideways is dumb. People being able to do sweaty movements that others cant is dumb. The 10000 smurfs in lower rank is dumb. Xim on console is dumb. Pub lobby dying out before ring 1 even starts to close is dumb.

Ranked is easier than puns b/c of matchmaking. Personally I’ve only seen my guns not shoot nor me be able to hear the triple master stack walk up behind me; then proceed to dunk on me. Like why am I goin against masters and preds? I’ve never even been diamond 💀

@ I use 10-18% of my brain like everyone else . Sorry I offended you by talking about your boyfriend , it was just friendly sarcasm and didn’t mean to hurt u
Several times yesterday i had 10+ Apex Predators in my platt lobbies. this should never be a possibility. They rolled thru my squad before my teammates could even shoot
Exactly! How an I supposed to even rank up when im D2 and i get a gold 1 and a plat 3 on my team that play like silvers and i get steam rolled by the top 200 preds 3 stacking with gibby, life line and new castle. I’ve gone from D2 to Plat 1 and back to D2 multiple times. I just gave up
What ea and respawn could have done was do a Christmas event but make it last until Christmas in other words it would be a community event with a limited time game mode where say we just fought each other with snowballs on a snowy themed map for the entire month of December where each day leading up to Christmas every one would get a random gift which would be Christmas themed weather that be a skin ect. but to make it so everyone doesn't miss out everyone will get the same rewards just they will all be random but at the end on Christmas Day everyones last gift was a gingerbread themed heirloom ax which would be universal to use on all legends I feel like something like this would have really got people to play
i just dont see anything for this game. i launch is maybe once every few seasons now. even if matchmacking is fixed it just isnt worth peoples time. there are so many other games out there that does it all better than apex. this game was once the best game on the market but they stagnated and focused on profit and not fun. it will stagnate at low numbers for sure but this game is gone in the next 3-4 years
I started playing Apex in late 2020 and played pretty consistently since then, maybe taking a break for a season or two at most but always coming back and having fun - but since around Season 21/ May 2024, I've just had no desire to play Apex. The game just feels like less effort is being put into it, the content drops are smaller and less frequent, balancing issues feel like they take ages to be addressed, ranked is absolutely abysmal, the lore and story for the game has become pretty stupid and uninteresting at this point. There's just nothing to draw me in, it's the same Apex I've got to play for the past 4 years now, but it just feels decayed. It's just same old same apex, but worse. Only thing that could get me to come back to Apex at this point is if they introduce wide, systemic changes and massively change the way the game is played / the way the game feels. Like if they did a massive server upgrade, or added new movement techs, or reworked every single legend, or changed the entire weapon pool or something. But I don't think they'll ever do that, so my time on Apex is probably at an end.
0:00 I don't care about Pro's. Not in the slightest. I care about getting actually balanced matches and so far, it has gotten so bad that i immediately start to hate my life and getting depressed whenever i play just *one. single. round.* I switched to Fortnite No-Build mode. And what happened? You're right. I had the most fun rounds of battle royale I have ever had in my life, because i was playing against *bots* in the first few matches. Then the matchmaker was putting me in real player lobbies and i started to hate my life again. Duos and Trios is horrible for the most part. Still. In Solos, I get atleast a few kills off drop and i'm finally able to get some nice fights. In my last game today, i actually got an victory screen again after around 10-20 hours of playtime and i got 8 kills and 5100 damage in solos no-build. Thats more then i ever got in any round in 4 years of playing apex legends. My highest in apex was like 4 games with somewhere below 3200 damage and *one* round in revival with 4800+ damage. The rest with a few 2k rounds and mostly 1500 damage or below. Conclusion? Apex has the better FPS design. Fortnite is way more fun and doesn't let me hate my life as much as apex.
If only they would have added a campaign long ago. Also they could add an open world to trade and idk arcade stuff. They never put much effort into the game but break it
Game stopped being fun, for me anyways, about two years ago and I finally gave up hope it would improve about a month ago. Probably for the best honestly.
Same here I uninstalled it finally and it makes me sad cuz i spent hours and tons of money on the game for EA/respawn to just keep giving us the middle finger. So im finally gonna speak with my money and spend it on other games and companies that actually care about their players.
2:07 Where did they got this number from??? Apex *never* had 18 million monthly players. It gets on average 60k active players around the day (with big ups and downs) and around 200-500k active players per month. Not 18 million. Atleast according to the official steam charts. Are they straight up lying to everyone or where does this number come from??
only reason apex is dying is because of devs and that the game dont cater to anyone but proes or people who have money to throw at them. but for the average joe or teen its a whole another story. and the ranked MM solo que is 98% as to why people are getting really tired
lol, the game is aweful. Still pred 3 stacks in every diamond lobby. Solo q is pointless, ranked teams just Push for absolutely no reason. Everyone thinks they are TSM when in reality they have no clue how to play the game…they ape like its pubs and people wonder why ranked sucks. 90% of teams 50/50 off spawn in diamond lobbies lol. The game sucks
But when you say “fans hope this doesn’t happen” but I’m a fan and I wish it DOES. I wish IT GETS WORSE. Cuz apex is gonna be like “oh shit, this ain’t cutting it we gotta do better” and hopefully they will. It’s gonna get worse before it gets better but hopefully apex will wake up and take control again.
Smg nerf/ranked/sbmm .. aim assist nerf was fine. What made apex fun was its gunplay and these meta changes are so stupid. You can tell these aren’t the original devs.
maybe it's just me, but the direction of apex was so bad that it took an all time low of players and a slew of complaints for the devs to finally do something about it. sad to say, but the majority of players that left maybe 10 percent of them will come back to play again. Also with the large amount of players that left, the game has become very niche in a way. all i see is sweaty ass players in pubs and its the same players ive seen in the previous game(s) as well. with how sbmm is as well, no new players will ever pick up this game or stay long enough to keep playing. the moment multiple key figure of apex leaves the game (like hal or something) the game will be doomed to fail shortly after. but even after this i still want the game to succeed, but how?
Hal has got to of had private conversations with the current crop of pro players and many may of made the decision already just have not made an announcement yet.
Honestly, I think the update made players salty on console. Solos were worse than ever, triple stacking playstation teams, not even allowing a second for anyone to breathe. Everyone was just full sending everyone and throwing games left and right. Love apex as a game, but its player base is ridiculously toxic. And it's driving people away from the game also. I don't know how they fix it at this point. It's just gotten out of control, 20 tick servers and cheaters, and then hateful toxic teams and solos, taking out their frustration on everyone else. It's madness to keep playing a game that is like that tbh
At Dezember 11th 2024 on 00:00 UTC (12.11.2024), this game had its absolute lowest playercount since release. It had *38,308* active players, *instead of* its usual *45,000+* players at this time of the day. Thats even worse then the one 39k+ player count in the hacker infested season (S22). No amount of changes is gonna stop this player retention, till they actually fix the matchmaker - or go the fortnite route with adding decently playing bots to the game. Not gonna lie. The bots in fortnite make the game actually enjoyable for me. Someone that is by far not an sweat and only plays for fun, aswell as an victory screen. If Fortnite would have the same treatment as apex legends - meaning the matchmaker and no bots in their rounds, i would hate the game too (for the most part). But then they also have other gamemodes to enjoy, outside of BR. Even an No-Build mode for everyone doesn't like the normal BR mode with building included.
Keeping track of game player count on a game as popular as apex is dumb. Every months theres new games being released. Im a firm apex player, i play everyday if i can. But i also like to play the new cod that came out, i also like to play dragon ball sparkling, same with marvel rivals now, its obvious the number of players will drop when other great games come out. The difference is once the hype is done most players like myself go back to apex.
HA I already left after they took out revival for the 3rd or 4th time. There literally isn’t anything to play on the game besides literally the same thing season after season. It’s sad when they give us customs but don’t even add all the maps or game modes of and also need a certain amount of players for customs. R5 has more game modes, better communication between players and developers, you can literally play every map that has been created and or create your own. This game is just a plain bagel
The only thing that would bring back apex is merging console and pc lobbies. Reasons being is that apex is so boring and stale that it needs add more game modes without creating horrible queue times. Playing marvel rivals makes me not even want to touch apex anymore. As new games come out, apex players will be leaving to games that call their attention. They cant even make revivals permanent which is what the majority of players want along with better rank systems. Its very few people who still enjoy pubs like streamers and what not. Even faide is playing ranked because of how boring plain old pubs is. Hear me out. Apex will pull a pubg and add everything everyone has ever wanted when the game finally dies. RIP Apex 😩
Apex is competing against Marvel, and CoD. To top it off the game is in a slow place and people are more likely to play their OG games like seige, OW, fortnite, or even rpgs like baulders gate 3. Theres alot of good quality games out with alot to offer players. Apex IMO got greedy, i felt like as a business what i wanted as a consumer wasn't being delivered. Ill gladly give CoD my money. Apex id spend $200 a year on but this year $0 its been on a downhill since season 9
Finally quitted. Impossible soloq experience, APEX should put those responsible devs to play 10h daily ranked to understand frustration. %30 pred/master lobbies for diamond players, elo difference between dia to pred is 50k+, bigger difference than silver-dia this guys cant understand game to adjust matchmaking bet this devs dont even play the game
Is not really appealing, i'm just a casual player and i have to sweat my ass off just to play. with all the other problems i'm barely playing and usually mixtape, yesterday tried to play and played like an hour and log off
Worst meta ever. Removing gold knockdown because of support legends. Double healing cells and syringes. Cant even get rewarded after knocking someone because the opponent has either Newcastle or LifeLine for insta reset. What is the point of these guns in the game if no one is touching CAR, Volt, Alternator, Prowler, re45 or the nerfed to shit r99. Gettings insta knock by 2 mastiff pumps is all thats left in the rank by third parties.
Hal needs to retire I’m tired of seeing videos of him complaining about everything man is washed he personally made me quit apex with all that crying 😂
hal retiring would be very bad for the game, he's one of the biggest streamers for apex and streamers are the people who create hype for the game. if hal quit, it would basically send a message that apex isn't worth playing and that there's nothing good on the horizon to come back to and check out.
Day one here and I will say this game is nothing but a money grab. $180 for a skin. really. COD doesn't others haven't. and you literally get nothing. no finisher no customization no way set yourself away from others. They like to do this. Oh were listening to the public. We hear you guys. Then boom another recolor for 180. tired of having a single game mode in rotation. stop that crap. nobody does this but Apex. oh every 15 mins lets change the whole world to do this. This is wild. If I want to play control only then let me. But in reality none of this is going to happen.
cheaters away like this season? have you recently played ranked? :D Last 1-2 weeks of hacking = quick Pred/Master run is BACK! Ranked as D4 with all the issues including this soloq is just unplayable.
Bruh. Everyone is a cheater. They use StrikePack's, CronusZen's, and Xim's. Literally all they'd have to do is ban these cheaters and the game would be saved. But you won't m, you're A COMMUNITY OF CHEATERS THAT REFUSE TO HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY.
This game has been fucked for over 3 years and ur talkin about them making decent changes for a week! Its sad because this only happened because of people finally leaving this god forsaken mess of a game, even if the gun play and m9vement is some of the best in gaming! Its a wrap, lets all move on to somethin that actual cares to keep u interested! Marvel Rivals been hitting🤷🏾♂️
One thing I wonder if you could make a video out of it, how lucky we are we had the BLGS at all. Like it's a serious competition with big money on the line at a time where we wouldnt have much content at all other than scrims normally. Not only did we get to see comp but we also get some extra drama from some really good teams failing to make Finals.
Its great that their doing it BUT... Its honestly too little WAY too late... If they had some ingame implementation to see leaderboards and to hype teams and that kind of thing it'd be awesome... If they ran weekly competitions like Fortnite did for YEARS it'd be great... but they don't... Hell, even if they put in a tracker or some sort of local leaderboards for ranked, an overall pred grind leaderboard, a BLGS tracker, an ALGS tracker... anything... it'd be great
R99 in care back after being nerfed into floor , support meta , aim assist nerf for avg joes while neo strafing try hard comp teams on MNK run everything. Cheater issues , bit issues , no new guns , shit support meta , annoying out of touch pro players game is cooked. Sell it too epic games already
Nobody cares anymore about this game is dead dead. The pros cry , and ruin the game for common players by removing items and stuff. Always nerfing and buffing. Nothing new. Always the same repetitive game play every 3 months. Boring game . And apex news is the same . Nothing new and nothing we know already . Boring
"Where Does Apex Go From Here?" --- down & out. buh bye. you don't listen to your fanbase long enough, you end up like suicide squad, avengers, concord & soon, xdefiant & Ubisoft as a whole... good riddance. we won't miss them.
Do that for more than 4500 hours and you will hate it like we all do... Also the BP cost real money. Of course there is gonna be something in there that makes you wanna buy it. Turn your eyes onto the free things to do in the game and you will get sick real soon. I mean try to complete the havoc trials from 0-100 right now. You can't. You can't for already two seasons! If you actually play the game you know why it is impossible to do so! xD It has been like this since I started playing like 4 years ago... They add something cool and do nothing with it until it dies! Also was it the r301 and kills outside the ring? Yeah good luck on that after season 19 changes when nobody hangs out of zone in ring 2 anymore since that shit it going to kill you already quickly! :D
I posted a post on Reddit saying I’m moving on and I sparked a good discussion with the community, ten minutes later apex mods removed my post

you saw the numbers of CS = game which basically has not changed for decades. how do you explain that and you comment? :)
Funny thing about apex is you cant find this kind of game anywhere and eventually everyone comes back who really appreciates fps games
literally

This is for new Apex players to shine in the light. Time for these sponsors to promote new players for Year 6 and beyond...
Agreed give the Next Gen a chance. They made their money get out & next up like all the pro sports.
I have no clue how you manage to play, I'm forever having a stroke trying to play this game lol..
Several times yesterday i had 10+ Apex Predators in my platt lobbies. this should never be a possibility. They rolled thru my squad before my teammates could even shoot
Exactly! How an I supposed to even rank up when im D2 and i get a gold 1 and a plat 3 on my team that play like silvers and i get steam rolled by the top 200 preds 3 stacking with gibby, life line and new castle. I’ve gone from D2 to Plat 1 and back to D2 multiple times. I just gave up
Where did OG LTM go? 😟
What ea and respawn could have done was do a Christmas event but make it last until Christmas in other words it would be a community event with a limited time game mode where say we just fought each other with snowballs on a snowy themed map for the entire month of December where each day leading up to Christmas every one would get a random gift which would be Christmas themed weather that be a skin ect. but to make it so everyone doesn't miss out everyone will get the same rewards just they will all be random but at the end on Christmas Day everyones last gift was a gingerbread themed heirloom ax which would be universal to use on all legends I feel like something like this would have really got people to play
i just dont see anything for this game. i launch is maybe once every few seasons now. even if matchmacking is fixed it just isnt worth peoples time. there are so many other games out there that does it all better than apex. this game was once the best game on the market but they stagnated and focused on profit and not fun. it will stagnate at low numbers for sure but this game is gone in the next 3-4 years
You know a content creator makes good content when you still watch even though you stopped playing the game
When EA put their greed before players , that’s what killed Apex. It was a slow death but sunset is almost here lol
I started playing Apex in late 2020 and played pretty consistently since then, maybe taking a break for a season or two at most but always coming back and having fun - but since around Season 21/ May 2024, I've just had no desire to play Apex. The game just feels like less effort is being put into it, the content drops are smaller and less frequent, balancing issues feel like they take ages to be addressed, ranked is absolutely abysmal, the lore and story for the game has become pretty stupid and uninteresting at this point. There's just nothing to draw me in, it's the same Apex I've got to play for the past 4 years now, but it just feels decayed. It's just same old same apex, but worse.
Only thing that could get me to come back to Apex at this point is if they introduce wide, systemic changes and massively change the way the game is played / the way the game feels. Like if they did a massive server upgrade, or added new movement techs, or reworked every single legend, or changed the entire weapon pool or something. But I don't think they'll ever do that, so my time on Apex is probably at an end.
0:00 I don't care about Pro's. Not in the slightest. I care about getting actually balanced matches and so far, it has gotten so bad that i immediately start to hate my life and getting depressed whenever i play just *one. single. round.* I switched to Fortnite No-Build mode.
And what happened?
You're right. I had the most fun rounds of battle royale I have ever had in my life, because i was playing against *bots* in the first few matches.
Then the matchmaker was putting me in real player lobbies and i started to hate my life again. Duos and Trios is horrible for the most part. Still. In Solos, I get atleast a few kills off drop and i'm finally able to get some nice fights. In my last game today, i actually got an victory screen again after around 10-20 hours of playtime and i got 8 kills and 5100 damage in solos no-build. Thats more then i ever got in any round in 4 years of playing apex legends.
My highest in apex was like 4 games with somewhere below 3200 damage and *one* round in revival with 4800+ damage. The rest with a few 2k rounds and mostly 1500 damage or below.
Conclusion? Apex has the better FPS design. Fortnite is way more fun and doesn't let me hate my life as much as apex.
I came back and your right it feels better not perf but better
If only they would have added a campaign long ago. Also they could add an open world to trade and idk arcade stuff. They never put much effort into the game but break it
I tried playing last week again after a hiatus. Long story short, apex got put back on the shelf. Playing other more enjoyable games atm.
Game stopped being fun, for me anyways, about two years ago and I finally gave up hope it would improve about a month ago. Probably for the best honestly.
Same here I uninstalled it finally and it makes me sad cuz i spent hours and tons of money on the game for EA/respawn to just keep giving us the middle finger. So im finally gonna speak with my money and spend it on other games and companies that actually care about their players.
Lobby’s have seemed harder this week in pubs and ranked. I’m gold 1 right now. I think it’s mostly just sweaty players playing
Goes in the bin for me
2:07 Where did they got this number from??? Apex *never* had 18 million monthly players. It gets on average 60k active players around the day (with big ups and downs) and around 200-500k active players per month. Not 18 million. Atleast according to the official steam charts.
Are they straight up lying to everyone or where does this number come from??
I haven't played apex in some time. Im playing marvel rivals and i love it
More pros will come and replace these clowns
It’s always the same stuff yet they will “fix it” then things will get “better” it’s just old then it gets “bad” rinse and repeat
only reason apex is dying is because of devs and that the game dont cater to anyone but proes or people who have money to throw at them.
but for the average joe or teen its a whole another story. and the ranked MM solo que is 98% as to why people are getting really tired
lol, the game is aweful. Still pred 3 stacks in every diamond lobby. Solo q is pointless, ranked teams just Push for absolutely no reason. Everyone thinks they are TSM when in reality they have no clue how to play the game…they ape like its pubs and people wonder why ranked sucks. 90% of teams 50/50 off spawn in diamond lobbies lol. The game sucks
But when you say “fans hope this doesn’t happen” but I’m a fan and I wish it DOES. I wish IT GETS WORSE. Cuz apex is gonna be like “oh shit, this ain’t cutting it we gotta do better” and hopefully they will. It’s gonna get worse before it gets better but hopefully apex will wake up and take control again.
Smg nerf/ranked/sbmm .. aim assist nerf was fine. What made apex fun was its gunplay and these meta changes are so stupid. You can tell these aren’t the original devs.
Well like everything els either a new wave steps up or the world moves on and legends we know lives on
maybe it's just me, but the direction of apex was so bad that it took an all time low of players and a slew of complaints for the devs to finally do something about it. sad to say, but the majority of players that left maybe 10 percent of them will come back to play again. Also with the large amount of players that left, the game has become very niche in a way. all i see is sweaty ass players in pubs and its the same players ive seen in the previous game(s) as well. with how sbmm is as well, no new players will ever pick up this game or stay long enough to keep playing. the moment multiple key figure of apex leaves the game (like hal or something) the game will be doomed to fail shortly after. but even after this i still want the game to succeed, but how?
Ranked been dog shit for way to long
Hal has got to of had private conversations with the current crop of pro players and many may of made the decision already just have not made an announcement yet.
Honestly, I think the update made players salty on console. Solos were worse than ever, triple stacking playstation teams, not even allowing a second for anyone to breathe. Everyone was just full sending everyone and throwing games left and right. Love apex as a game, but its player base is ridiculously toxic. And it's driving people away from the game also. I don't know how they fix it at this point. It's just gotten out of control, 20 tick servers and cheaters, and then hateful toxic teams and solos, taking out their frustration on everyone else. It's madness to keep playing a game that is like that tbh
Game wont die soon, will just become not popular. Casuals will keep enjoying.
At Dezember 11th 2024 on 00:00 UTC (12.11.2024), this game had its absolute lowest playercount since release. It had *38,308* active players, *instead of* its usual *45,000+* players at this time of the day. Thats even worse then the one 39k+ player count in the hacker infested season (S22).
No amount of changes is gonna stop this player retention, till they actually fix the matchmaker - or go the fortnite route with adding decently playing bots to the game.
Not gonna lie. The bots in fortnite make the game actually enjoyable for me. Someone that is by far not an sweat and only plays for fun, aswell as an victory screen. If Fortnite would have the same treatment as apex legends - meaning the matchmaker and no bots in their rounds, i would hate the game too (for the most part).
But then they also have other gamemodes to enjoy, outside of BR. Even an No-Build mode for everyone doesn't like the normal BR mode with building included.
Next generation of Pros & Stars get to step up! MJ, Magic, & Bird had to retire for Kobe & LeBron! 1:22
Keeping track of game player count on a game as popular as apex is dumb. Every months theres new games being released. Im a firm apex player, i play everyday if i can. But i also like to play the new cod that came out, i also like to play dragon ball sparkling, same with marvel rivals now, its obvious the number of players will drop when other great games come out. The difference is once the hype is done most players like myself go back to apex.
weird to hear people “retire” from a game they are getting PAYED to play thats only been out for 5 years lmao.
4:30 you know what else is massive
LOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW TAAAPPPPPPEEEEERRRRRR FAAAAAAADDEEEEEEE
😂
There's no hope. Just let it die, plenty of actually good games to play.
HA I already left after they took out revival for the 3rd or 4th time. There literally isn’t anything to play on the game besides literally the same thing season after season. It’s sad when they give us customs but don’t even add all the maps or game modes of and also need a certain amount of players for customs. R5 has more game modes, better communication between players and developers, you can literally play every map that has been created and or create your own. This game is just a plain bagel
Path of Exile is lit guys lol
Tbh these pros and big content creators are part of the problem… yall not ready for the convo tho 🙂
You know apex is bad when LuluLovely starts streaming Fortnite
Fortnite is actually very good right now, probably the best chapter yet. It changed a lot, and at least you have stuff to actually grind for.
solo q experience and matchmaking are the number 1 and 2 things ruining the game experience
J would make more money and content if he moved on from apex. Pretty simple logic
The game just needs to give more benefits to the content creators
The only thing that would bring back apex is merging console and pc lobbies. Reasons being is that apex is so boring and stale that it needs add more game modes without creating horrible queue times. Playing marvel rivals makes me not even want to touch apex anymore. As new games come out, apex players will be leaving to games that call their attention. They cant even make revivals permanent which is what the majority of players want along with better rank systems. Its very few people who still enjoy pubs like streamers and what not. Even faide is playing ranked because of how boring plain old pubs is. Hear me out. Apex will pull a pubg and add everything everyone has ever wanted when the game finally dies. RIP Apex 😩
make a video about monsoon saying on the apex podcast how apex is at the best point it has ever been for him. You literally won't
Why is us seige players on this 4:07 ? Our game is going go shit
Apex is competing against Marvel, and CoD. To top it off the game is in a slow place and people are more likely to play their OG games like seige, OW, fortnite, or even rpgs like baulders gate 3. Theres alot of good quality games out with alot to offer players. Apex IMO got greedy, i felt like as a business what i wanted as a consumer wasn't being delivered. Ill gladly give CoD my money. Apex id spend $200 a year on but this year $0 its been on a downhill since season 9
We need something worth grinding for to keep player base up and steady. Pros can move on but listen to casuals for once.
REMOVE HEALTH BARS
Audio still sucks too
Finally quitted. Impossible soloq experience, APEX should put those responsible devs to play 10h daily ranked to understand frustration. %30 pred/master lobbies for diamond players, elo difference between dia to pred is 50k+, bigger difference than silver-dia this guys cant understand game to adjust matchmaking bet this devs dont even play the game
Is not really appealing, i'm just a casual player and i have to sweat my ass off just to play. with all the other problems i'm barely playing and usually mixtape, yesterday tried to play and played like an hour and log off
the news was a lie ped three stacks still in my lobbies
Maybe if they focused less on DEI bullshit like creating lore about legends being gay (who cares, it's a shooter?) the game wouldn't be in this state.
Its kinda too late for fixes after they didnt even bother listening to their community lol
Worst meta ever. Removing gold knockdown because of support legends. Double healing cells and syringes. Cant even get rewarded after knocking someone because the opponent has either Newcastle or LifeLine for insta reset. What is the point of these guns in the game if no one is touching CAR, Volt, Alternator, Prowler, re45 or the nerfed to shit r99. Gettings insta knock by 2 mastiff pumps is all thats left in the rank by third parties.
Hal needs to retire I’m tired of seeing videos of him complaining about everything man is washed he personally made me quit apex with all that crying 😂
You life must suck if you let a content creator be the reason you stop playing a video game 💀
How does Hal make someone quit a video game? It’s very easy just avoid his videos or any videos he’s in. You sound rediculous
@@713Memory not sure what’s worst, looking ridiculous by utilizing “rediculous”, or just being blatant ridiculous.
couldn't you have simply..... not watch him, or not look at his posts?
hal retiring would be very bad for the game, he's one of the biggest streamers for apex and streamers are the people who create hype for the game. if hal quit, it would basically send a message that apex isn't worth playing and that there's nothing good on the horizon to come back to and check out.
So do these Apex pros have any marketable skills other than being good at a video game?
I still see 1 cheater in every squad, so the cheating is still yet.
Day one here and I will say this game is nothing but a money grab. $180 for a skin. really. COD doesn't others haven't. and you literally get nothing. no finisher no customization no way set yourself away from others. They like to do this. Oh were listening to the public. We hear you guys. Then boom another recolor for 180. tired of having a single game mode in rotation. stop that crap. nobody does this but Apex. oh every 15 mins lets change the whole world to do this. This is wild. If I want to play control only then let me. But in reality none of this is going to happen.
Wrong question boy...the real question is where gen z will lead us too...answer to humanity s doom
cheaters away like this season? have you recently played ranked? :D Last 1-2 weeks of hacking = quick Pred/Master run is BACK! Ranked as D4 with all the issues including this soloq is just unplayable.
Im just get kerambit pls dont ruin the game
Bruh. Everyone is a cheater. They use StrikePack's, CronusZen's, and Xim's. Literally all they'd have to do is ban these cheaters and the game would be saved. But you won't m, you're A COMMUNITY OF CHEATERS THAT REFUSE TO HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY.
...To hell.
Apex is dying
This game has been fucked for over 3 years and ur talkin about them making decent changes for a week! Its sad because this only happened because of people finally leaving this god forsaken mess of a game, even if the gun play and m9vement is some of the best in gaming! Its a wrap, lets all move on to somethin that actual cares to keep u interested! Marvel Rivals been hitting🤷🏾♂️
One thing I wonder if you could make a video out of it, how lucky we are we had the BLGS at all. Like it's a serious competition with big money on the line at a time where we wouldnt have much content at all other than scrims normally. Not only did we get to see comp but we also get some extra drama from some really good teams failing to make Finals.
Its great that their doing it BUT... Its honestly too little WAY too late... If they had some ingame implementation to see leaderboards and to hype teams and that kind of thing it'd be awesome... If they ran weekly competitions like Fortnite did for YEARS it'd be great... but they don't... Hell, even if they put in a tracker or some sort of local leaderboards for ranked, an overall pred grind leaderboard, a BLGS tracker, an ALGS tracker... anything... it'd be great
@@dravenwrightlee8390 They made beggars of us, so I'm just happy to get anything at this point, and I'm appreciative when I get it.
R99 in care back after being nerfed into floor , support meta , aim assist nerf for avg joes while neo strafing try hard comp teams on MNK run everything. Cheater issues , bit issues , no new guns , shit support meta , annoying out of touch pro players game is cooked. Sell it too epic games already
how long are you gonna last dissing apex and survive in youtube community🤣🤣🤣🤣
To be honest, MM is still broken. Complete ass. Streaming has ruined video games 110%
Streamer and content creators ruin multi player and competitive games
Look J I like you man, I really do, but we are way past tryna be optimistic about apex. Please, stop hyping apex for doing the bare minimum .
Nobody cares anymore about this game is dead dead.
The pros cry , and ruin the game for common players by removing items and stuff.
Always nerfing and buffing.
Nothing new. Always the same repetitive game play every 3 months.
Boring game .
And apex news is the same . Nothing new and nothing we know already . Boring
Apex is falling off
"Where Does Apex Go From Here?" --- down & out. buh bye. you don't listen to your fanbase long enough, you end up like suicide squad, avengers, concord & soon, xdefiant & Ubisoft as a whole... good riddance. we won't miss them.
who cares its just a video game. don't play if you don't wanna play lol
First
As dry apex is, i have to admit grinding the battle pass with 100 challenges is quite fun and satisfying 😅
Do that for more than 4500 hours and you will hate it like we all do... Also the BP cost real money. Of course there is gonna be something in there that makes you wanna buy it.
Turn your eyes onto the free things to do in the game and you will get sick real soon. I mean try to complete the havoc trials from 0-100 right now. You can't. You can't for already two seasons! If you actually play the game you know why it is impossible to do so! xD
It has been like this since I started playing like 4 years ago... They add something cool and do nothing with it until it dies! Also was it the r301 and kills outside the ring? Yeah good luck on that after season 19 changes when nobody hangs out of zone in ring 2 anymore since that shit it going to kill you already quickly! :D
it used to be worth it when the level 100 gun was a pay to win skin. now I just don't see the point
I genuinely hope they end Apex on PC you kids are so annoying
U guys are holding onto straws with this game. It's trash now.
Dead game
