It's been a couple of weeks since the new season dropped, A lot of changes came with it and honestly its shaken up the meta. Some staple legends received hard nerfs and some lesser played legends received direct and indirect buffs which definitely changed the meta.

For ranked, This is probably one of the greatest seasons, I love the 24 hour map rotations so you aren't stuck on a single map for 2 months straight, But for newer players I'm sure they're struggling pretty hard with the constant map changing.

For pubs, The maps aren't that great. They're way too big and if you don't drop at the hot POI's you're not finding anyone for 10+ minutes.

But what makes up for it is that they also added Team Deathmatch. So that skill gap is getting bigger with each passing day since people have more ways to train and practice (not to mention the big changes to the firing range)

This has probably been one of the biggest changes in the past years. It's definitely up there with one of my favorite seasons. I just have little issues here and there.

My Dislikes
The nemesis. Man, That gun is extremely oppressive with zero recoil. Imagine the m16 from cod4 with stopping power but every time you missed a burst, the gun shoots faster. Yeah its that OP.

Worlds edge being in rotation STILL, That map just needs to go. In pubs its literally drop fragment or see no one the entire game. Its such a boring map and i was extremely upset that Olympus was taken out of rotation due to some issues and never brought back. It's a fine map for ranked but for pubs its god awful.

Xbox players experiencing some extreme ping issues, In most games I'm sitting pretty at a solid 28-30 ping, Other exceptions are like Fortnite where i get 8-10 and gears of war I literally get 5-10. In apex I'm getting 30-40 which isn't bad. Until you get into ranked. I'm sitting at 90-130+ ping in my MAIN server. It's been a issue for almost a year and nothing has been done about it. I have better luck queueing into EU lobbies just for a stable connection.


All and all, Once the next patch hits and they start nerfing some things, I feel like this was the revival that apex needed. The constant same 3 legends on every team or lose the game was extremely tiring and was killing the game. With the new class system there's way more variety in comps.

Great quality of life update, but unfortunately server issues came with it... the usual. Certain servers will not search for games either unless you have no fill on or a full group with you searching. It's mostly all their main servers like NY, Dallas & Salt Lake and so on. I'm hard stuck 50ping on my home server. The nemesis I love since I'm a 301 nerd but, I feel you it does need a nerf I think it shouldn't charge up unless you dmg someone prefiring it is the main issue to charge it up freely. Pubs is awful this season idk why they choose just keeping 3 in the rotation (2 of them are massive and made for comp lol not pubs) have all of them pls even for 1 hour even 30mins I'd take at this rate.

The ranked portion has been enjoyable so far, I just really have that itch to play Olympus but the maps flow pretty well for a competitive standpoint. I'm currently about 1 game off D3 and my only issue is just the absurd amount of nemesis shots i hear throughout the game

The only silver lining is that next season we can potentially get Storm point/KC/Olympus in rotation unless they plan on removing one map at a time

The new season has been really enjoyable as far as content goes. Pubs are really enjoyable. Map choices are not ideal, but map rotation is a great adition to ranked. They need to region lock; the 150+ping players need to go. Diamond+ ranked is almost unplayable with all the cheating,scripting,xim/chronus users and ddosing.

Yeah unfortunately its leaking to the console side of things, I'm barely scraping into D4 now because of all of the DDosing that's going on, Not to mention I've started to see more PC players sneak into the console pool, I got hit with the reload hack at least 7 times at this point and ximmed out the lobby at least 10 times. Don't get me started on the ddosers.

This really could've been the greatest season since the release of apex but there's just so many ignored issues at the moment. Especially feel for my PS players who get locked out of games constantly, I lose at least 1 teammate every 5 games or so due to the dc bug. They have been acting quick on issues so maybe we'll see something next patch. The game itself is in a great state (besides nemesis) i just hope they capitalize on all of the success that the new class system brought

They just went a whole split with the same cheating/exploiting issues and never fixed it sooooooo.... Guess we will see what happens.

So far DDOS protection seems to be working and seems to have made the game more playable.

Unless they did something in the past 3-5 days, DDOS protection has done nothing for me. I'm always getting -60's for dcing from the game due to ddosers. Not to mention a lot of PC/PS players are bugged because of the change that half of them aren't even loading in making it so we have to jump off the map and take the penalty hit or wait 5 minutes until they DC then wait another 10 for their penalty.
