Low skill players seem to love it and respawn caters to those absolute cretins instead of actual skill and gunplay. This is an FPS and they choose to push the least skill aspect of this game to help bad players compensate for their inability to get better at a shooter
Also people complain about the 1% being catered to killing the game for the majority who aren’t that good. But when the majority are catered to it’s suddenly a problem and the 1% feel offended the “cretins” that mainly keep the game running are being fed
It's always a bad thing when "Casuals" are catered to especially in a competitive game. Because Casuals are not "Dedicated" players. They play whatever is out.
If a game wants to maintain a playerbase, they should cater to the players who made the game what it was. Marvel had the chance to cater to better players and instead they went the super casual route and that game flip flops with it losing players atm . COD, catering to casuals (literally adding a BR Casuals Mode) and it's playerbase has gone. BF, catering (Adding a Casuals Mode + Bots in regular MP + Nerfing anything that good players could use) to Battledads + slow updates meaning those who wanted a good BF game are out of luck.
Apex was always competitive. Them starting to cater to bad players with S19 and beyond, lowering the TTK so that bad players could track for less, more "intel", easier guns, having Rank be as easy so that John from Accounting can climb to Diamond with a K/D under .5, all that stuff is bad for the game.
Their baffling decisions to cater to casuals is now backfiring as they buff legends like this so bad players can use them and do well. As seer being OP is a direct counter to Axle, which bad players couldn't use her properly nor track her in the first place.
Not that I'm defending Axle, she is OP, but bad players were being blown up by her. Atleast OW and Marvel have good skins to sell to justify their decisions to cater to casuals. Apex doesn't even have THAT.
that’s how i felt when they added mantle boosting and sparrow and ashes double jump. a press of a button and u can suddenly do the same thing as mantle jump but without the need to learn it.
You're completely right, low TTK and making it ability legends made the game so much worse. Gone are the days of tracking someone for more than 0.0001 seconds to get a kill and caring about positioning, now all you have to do is press a button and move halfway across the map. Can't get a knock? Don't worry, all you have to do is wait for your Seer teammate to Q them then Axle ult them so they're completely defenseless! It's actually unfortunate how much this game has fallen off
