The State of Balance - Is Apex for Newbies or Try Hards? - Apex Legends Meta Guide

[@travisweatherspoon8092]

Can't imagine the purpose of a casual battle Royale where you don't try as hard as possible to win. I play a couple hours a day most days. And I try like hell to do my best.

[@PhillipTietjen]

They should balance pubs and ranked different. Pubs for casual players, and ranked for the sweats. Another good option would be to add in a "hardcore mode" where it's more like ALGS style for the pros and streamers that play for a living. Or just have masters and pred ranked balanced different even.

I’m Done with apex. It placed me in 6 different pred lobbies even though my kd is trash and I’m a casual. There is no real reward system for rank besides the banner skins. The battle pass is only filled half way before there is nothing left to offer. This game has no retention value.

[@rPenek]

Apex is 100% tryhards game but should me casual because when they balance for casual then game is fun, its good when unbalanced but if they gona make all legends op then everything will be strong AND balanced.

My kd is

[@as1ckmatt]

You unfortunately joined back when there's also a very distinct meta with all the bubbles and shields, so hard to pick back up, if you keep at it I'm sure you'll be smashing it soon!

[@Shakura8]

Apex is the only game I feel I need to sweat my butt just to play a pub match. Not for me anymore, it's too competitive...

[@Meiy-10]

It’s very simple imo. Just have a different build of the game for competition. The main game should lean towards casual because it’s a game. We’re supposed to have some sort of fun. One shot Kraber was extremely fun to use for casual. Just make a different built. It feels like these companies don’t want to invest money to improve their games and leave its community just arguing about pointless things.

I think if they ran TDM all the time that would be huge for a lot of the newer players

[@QuinnIsIn]

TDM just made everyone sweaty because it's non stop fighting

[@birdsareneat818]

They need to balance around casually. The games statistics show that people dont enjoy the game anymore. There's a constant drop off of players and the game has gotten stale.

[@illtyuh8336]

Outside of the first 3 seasons, hasn’t apex always been competitive? Name a single battle Royale that doesn’t feel competitive. Team games are for casuals

[@GamerZyzz-dk3xg]

My friend was always talking about this game I tried for the first time and some guys whit a icon of head skulls a read skull and double hammer killed me, and they all had the same icon and group , I printed dat and send it to my friend he told they weren't a new player in fact they are pro at the game lol I immediately I delete the game cause it happened more then 1 time.. I think apex is a good game but me as a lvl 10 playing whit pro time thank no, I just wanted to try the game but I cant like this...

[@micahjackson1751]

Bro pro players make up 5 to 10% of the player base max, they make the 10% happy well guess what the other 90% isn't going to be happy with the game resulting in less players thus the current downward spiral of apex, not to mention all the problems that have been in the game since launch, and everyone can agree that this game has needed major improvements for years that never seem to come

[@esteban1712]

cater to pros and the only ones that are going to stay on the game are the pros(a minority), cater to casuals and pros are going to play anyway. Make pubs more casuals oriented and ranked more competitive, but if you are max at gold, and every fkn match in trios you get killed by 4k 20 bomb pred/masters teams, the game is just not fun anymore. the terrible matchmaking has killed the game

[@619kyuzo]

Yes Apex is high level game. You can try otherwise but you will suffer Thats it

[@samaantree]

Respawn need two versions of the game for pro comps. and casuals end of discussion… and should 100% cater to the casuals they bring in the money. Many past exploits or strats in the game apart from the auto sentinel was kinda fun imo. And if you are a pro it’s your job and you should be professional enough to adapt to any game period. But instead the pros want the game to adapt to them that’s some selfish BS spoilt brat behaviour imo

[@iksdjvan100]

FPS Battle Royal by definition is a competitive game

[@thomaskelsey8949]

Apex is dying because they balance around the pros. Thats not a bad thing, they just picked who they want to favor. I havent played in months because it wasnt fun. Im not that good, but it still should be fun for someone like me. Thats what kills games. When they just focus on the pros

[@IMZ1N]

Apex is dying because they drip feed the bare minimum of content. The servers are ancient, it's a laggy, no reg mess. The matchmaking is shot, even in mixtape. You gotta have below .8 kd to have okay games. They have one of the most aggressive tactics for micro transactions. They utilise gambling events, this is not good for anyone. If it has gambling it should be an 18+

[@toocoldfouryou]

this game been out for years and you can make money playing video games eventually this was going to happen.

[@b3rs3rk3rz2]

Since I can consistently hit Diamond i consider myself above average

[@OcularBooM]

Make aim assist slightly better again, and make it so PC players cant move and loot. There. The casuals will rejoice.
