In my opinion, APEX is at the least enjoyable point it has ever been and these are the changes i think need to happen, please put our own suggestions in the comments as i really want to get some opinions on things i might have overlooked.
Matchmaking:
I think that 90% of us can agree that matchmaking in this game isn't the best and as a mid tier player, i would say that i can see both sides of the argument for SBMM. So here's my solution: give lower tier players (so any players below a certain KD or Lvl) would get put in their own lobbies, and everyone else gets lumped together in what is effectively a zero SBMM lobby.
Ranked also seems to be broken, and most people i speak to agree that there are too many high tier players in lower rank lobbies (i can say as a P4 player, i am guaranteed to get a 3 stack of preds every match) i think this is a simple matter of the devs changing what ranks get matched with what (i.e, GET THE FREAKING DIAMONDS AND PREDS OUT OF MY PLATINUM LOBBIES)
Loot pool:
For the most part the loot pool feels good, other than i feel that light ammo and backpacks feel rare but that might just be me being to blind to see them when i need them.
Balancing (legends):
This is every balance change i think should be made for every character
Bloodhound: "Perfectly balanced, as all things should be"
Gibby: Make his passive shield absorb the first 1-2 bullets rather than 50HP cause he feels so dominant in a 1v1.
Lifeline: "Perfectly balanced, as all things shou- hol up, buff her drone, it should either A. heal faster or B. give fast heals when using it (25%), maybe nerf the rez by making it a 5 sec rez and not 4 sec.
Pathfinder: Buff his tactical cooldown from 35s to 25s
Wraith: Make her Passive feel substantial by telling the player what direction they are being looked at from, otherwise she's good in her current state.
Bangalore: Double down on her ability to make space with her ult by making the rockets act like proximity mines rather than acting on a fuse, also reduce the cooldown on her ult, it takes so damn long.
Caustic: Make his gas obstruct vision a little less, for both enemies and teammates, making it more team based with out making it too broken.
Mirage: Just make the decoys have some amount of AI when not being manually controlled, let them climb, strafe and slide.
Octane: give him a passive speed boost but reduce his stim boost back to 30% (so when he uses it, it still totals up to 40%) and i saw this idea before on another post, maybe make him give a mini AOE adrenaline boost when the stim ends, to make him more team based like the devs said they wanted to.
Wattson: Shes good, just don't make her ult zap friendly nades.
Crypto: Let him deploy his drone by throwing it like a grenade in order to lessen those situations where you have to leave your team in a 2v3 to use your ability.
Revenant: give his totem its range back, but increase the range by 35 – 50%, and maybe increase the damage to 30 so it actually feels more substantial during a gunfight.
Loba: Fix her tactical and reduce the length of that animation after she teleports.
Balancing (weapons):
I feel weapons are balanced for the most part, apart for a few things.
Sentinel: buff the damage to 75-80 (so 150-160 headshot) so it can one shot headshot a white armor rather than it barely being able to kill someone.
Triple Take: Nerf the fire rate as it melts at all ranges, this would also obviously make it a more precision based gun, as snipers should be, also give it the choke at stock cause the choke is too common for such a minor improvement.
Mastiff: make it more consistent by doing something similar to what Fortnite did in season 6 where it has a minimum damage of the damage of 3 pellets.
Thats all i can think of, but the last thing is the servers, please Respawn, the lag is unbearable and often gets me killed because i think i made it around the corner but instead i get shot because the servers are being weird.
But like is said, please leave your own suggestions and opinions in the comments.
