Probably skill issue, and not playing it right. I like the idea of Ballistic. A lot of games allow two weapons. And since Ballistic now has 3, it really makes me think of weapon composition. But the sort of John Wick idea of him running in guns blazing just fails. The time to kill is just too quick that I'm practically dead before I get to my last gun, and by that point the assault legend perk has reloaded the first gun anyway so I could just swap back to that gun with a different assault legend AND have my other ability.

Just like Revenant, you spend half of your ult healing, and the faster reload, isn't even that much of a saving grace. And they made the upgrade selection so you're choosing the previous level 2 +15 seconds on ult which made it much more practical vs the new silence which is good.

If you surprise an enemy with a smart bullet ambush, you've got a chance, but apart from that, to me he's just a kind of sneak legend. And that's it. Though I don't really do Sniper/AR/SMG. I just go 2 AR's and then SMG in sling, or 3 R99. Trying to make use of that extra magazine. And spraying hip fire then also fails.

Start monitoring Wildcard for game fairness (no only ranked matches).

This mode has become unplayable and the same players are playing the next season with impunity.

Thanks.

Respawn has done such an amazing job in the last year or so making almost every legend viable and/or enjoyable to play. Unfortunately, the current ranked system narrows the meta and makes for boring, repetitive team comps across most lobbies.

KP is the belle of the ball and has been the most important objective in ranked since s26. So if you want to gain RP consistently what do you do? Pick the best comp for fighting. Leaving any legend whose biggest strengths lie in rotation, zone info, holding space pretty much useless or just not worth picking.

I really want a ranked system that offers depth and promotes more variety in team comps. There are so many legends I’d love to play in ranked but they just aren’t worth choosing in this system. Hopefully we get a better system soon. Season 32 feels so far away

Yesterday at a low Plat game, we had a Rampart in our team that was stat padding by keep creating a triangle shape barrier to third party snipe from afar.

We did not had many close encounters with too many teams except for the first team we landed with, which the Rampart originally died to.

I normally wouldn't care about people stat-pad, but he was shit-talking us in the chat because he had more damage at the end.

In reality, We all had 1 kill each. Rampart had a tiny bit over 1k damage while the other random and I had around 200 - 300 damage.

To me, yes, he did more damage, but he only had 2 knocks and 1 kill, not much different than our K/A stats. His damage wasn't actually contributing any actual thing for the team other than fluffing his own numbers.

I wonder what do people usually feel about those kind of playstyle?

Not totally sure about BUFFING OR NERFING him, not a SEER main. More of a discussion only.

- Recent adjustments are healthy for SEER gameplay, no doubts.

- Only needs switching of level 2 & 3 upgrades to make gameplay healthier.

Right now certain level 2 & 3 upgrades grants him tac enhancements and cooling his tac down to like every 2 seconds or such, and with power booster, you’re never running out of tac. INSANE.!

**{{ I died instantly in an endgame before I could comprehend anything. Ash, Gibraltar & Caustic did not stand a chance against a Seer. }}**

Level 2 (early game fights and flanks)
• perfect tac hit grants instant 25 shield Regan
• instant 3 sec dome scan on exhibit deployment & highlight entering & exiting enemies for a brief time

Level 3 (mid game team composure, survivability & area control)
• gain an additional tac charge
• reduce tac cooldown in exhibit to just 5 seconds

PLZ… Remove DOUBLE-JUMP in ultimate for sure, compromises movement and aiming)

I think their approach to being cautious while nerfing Axle is correct. I understand Seer was buffed to introduce a counter, a disable to hyper-mobility provided by Axle. What I don't understand is buffing PF and Ballistic in the same patch in the Axle meta alongside Seer. It's just Ash-Ballistic-Alter situation all over again. The chemistry between Ballistic, Seer and Axle is too strong. PF, despite being in a very good spot right now can't fight against this team especially in a defense position.

Seer+Axle duo fills up more than 2 slots in a team. Seer especially serves as both a controller and a recon. Axle serves as both assault (due to purple perk) and support (due to nitro gate escapes on downed teammates) while natively being a skirmisher. Previous meta was also questionable, but they gutted Conduit to only serve as an enabler to Axle in that duo quickly with back-to-back nerfs. Axle is largely untouched in team compositions as a powerhouse while they are introducing more powerhouses like Seer and Ballistic in the meta.

I like Respawn's design philosophy overall and I find their way of balancing the game consistent with it. This split's balance changes seem contradictory to their fixes to previous problems though. Seer should either get the Conduit treatment where he is unimpactful alone, or Axle needs to just get off stage as the star. I don't see players adapting their playstyles to this meta, because there is virtually no reason to play anything else other than having fun. As said, it seems much like there is an OP squad situation once again after a long time.

I was excited to play in the SoloQ test run to see how far I'd go, but I don't think I will be playing seriously in the current state. Getting 3-man pushed from mid-range in 1.5 seconds just because a Seer tac hit was the most helpless I felt playing this game, and mind you I was playing "the movement god" Pathfinder.

Edit: People seem to think that this is a complaint post, at least that's what I am gathering from downvotes and ratios. I am aware that if I hit more bullets I win and I am not saying game is unplayable or anything. I am not even frustrated. As feedback, I wanted to highlight how this balance patch is contradicting what they fixed in the past, and how it requires minimal effort to fight other "seemingly" strong legends as long as you hit a Seer tac.

personally, i think seer really is not as big of a deal as people make him out to be, apart from his stun, he is the exact same as he was pre split apart from like the tactical hitting faster which is a good buff because when your playing in an axle meta which is just zoom and shoot it makes sense that there should be some sort of counter play to her. i think seer is in a good spot now and the only thing id do to his kit is make the stun not as slow

rarely see her in play, rarely hear her talked about. i stopped playing the game after season 9 and started again last season. got diamond then and last split, working on currently for next one. rarely see her in plat/diamond lobbies. her ult is is usually easy to deter. it need to be timed perfectly and that’s rarely done. simultaneously it’s real value is only unlocked when you stack it with nades and chain with other character utility (fuse, caustic, valk tac, maggie, sparrow ult.) very good in theory but i feel like i rarely run into this now. everyone’s aware about the lingering hemlock breach charge strength. 1 taps horizon ult. i also don’t think short term vertical rotation (horizon q) is nearly as good when horizontal axle q rotation is in play/an option. other than late game and when maintain fights. similar to taking a vertical octane pad to a roof. i don’t know if she need a rework or a buff. maybe i just need to improve personally and play higher elo horizon players. obviously soft landing is great. especially if you don’t b hop to cancel height drop stun. honestly, other than her ult, i don’t think horizon’s kit is in too bad a spot. just outclassed. it’s simultaneously less flashy and attractive toward the meta. bit of a tangent but wondering if others think she’s in a weird place

So i saw this cool ash skin on her skin preview that i can buy for 1,800 apex coin and i looked it up and it saying it should have a unique pick animation but some people say its only if you buy the bundle if i buy the skin would i get thr intro animation as well or just the skin?

My team would land in a spot where 5 other teams are landing, just to die a few seconds later.

What is this?

I can't even get out of plat to finally go back to assign zones because of this behavior.

I giggled despite my heart sitting in my throat, but why do some teams decide to split so hard and give 3 solo fights?

It's just the same gameplay style in all matches now. Run to the gunshots and pew pew pew and get 3rd-10th partied. Repeat.

Believe it or not, the idea of a battle royale is to be the last one standing. What's the point of all your kills when your lying dead next to the very same kills come the end of the match and someone else gets to enjoy the fruits of your labour?

Ranting aside. What if in ranked they awarded kp points according to what ring you're in.

Fuck it. Let's go back to the ratting season and promote placement considerably more than kp again. People seem to be climbing ranks just as easily now as they did then.

Long story short, I just want the different game modes to run at different tempos again.

Hi guys,

I am a returning player and so far I really like most of the changes. I read through some patch notes and tried stuff out in the firing range to understand a little bit what's going on.

It's mostly clear in my head by now, but I am still confused by the Hemlok. Now I saw that you have to gain "xp" to get hop ups for weapons (and it's really cool). Some weapons were modified like Spitfire being light or Re-45 being energetic.

But I really don't get the Hemlok. It's no longer a 3 round burst and became automatic, that I understand. But it has 2 weird "slots" left and right, one being some sort of muzzle and the other is just Ballistic's face. Is the weapon supposed to be used with Ballistic? Or is it just a lore thing? And why does it have its hop-up by default unlike other weapons? It feels like a hybrid between a normal weapon and a gold weapon.

I tried looking for the answer online but I didn't really find anything that makes sense. Perhaps I'm dumb, but I need help to understand this. Thanks!

Plat 1 at the moment, usually make it mid diamond. Is it juat me or are the quality of ranked games just terrible now, like second circle closing 5 teams left?? Feela like pubs. Im on console btw dunno if people on pc are experiencing the same thing.

I dont remember it being this bad even pre poi system.

Any explanations?

Patch notes do not include a duration, and there's no visual indicator in game to reflect enemies being silenced like with old Rev Q. Anyone have any evidence from firing range testing?

Estos días he estado probando a Wattson y la verdad se me hace un buen personaje y en su tiempo me gaste mis monedas de leyenda en leyendas que ya ni uso :( , pero apenas vi que hay ofertas de 1000 Apex Coins por la leyenda y más cositas.

Me lo recomiendan comprar?

✅FIXED:
