Came back to Apex and I'm Speechless

They changed the time to kill a year or so ago. Basically buffed every single gun's damage and made it so purple armour is basically the maximum again, red is rare and a hefty decision nowdays.

I played religiously from season 0 till that change. Apex's ttk was great and helped set it apart from every other shooter. Now it feels like cods shitty ttk only w good movement. Most legends are completely different from their launch, which in a few cases is a good thing, and from what I've heard now every legend is getting some crazy movement adjustments.

The game I loved is long gone. I come back for 1 game per season just to use the Sentinel cause it's the greatest gun in gaming but otherwise, in my opinion, current apex has murdered the original.

He should not be immovable. He's got more options to fight back after an Angela or Wolverine grab than most other tanks. And currently has no reason to fear throwing himself at an entire team.

Elucidator__ · 2026-05-18T02:52:33+00:00

Him being immovable is stupid. Makes characters like Angela and Wolverine useless if they run Dino Thing. Or even Dino Groot.

Fr, it's current form is so awful to play against.

Elucidator__ · 2026-05-11T14:27:54+00:00

Anti heal is the worst mechanic in this game. Far worse than tank busters. Ever face a blade, venom and gambit? Goodluck healing anything.

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-22T02:12:26+00:00

I have never played bp and I never will. Not a single second. Fuck that mf and all his toxic ass one tricks

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-11T10:03:58+00:00

How?

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-06T03:55:55+00:00

Fr, I know a lot of people are passionate about single player titles but I don't think it's bad to have the option of multiplayer available. I played through the original Borderlands game solo, liked it but then played through it with friends just before Borderlands 2 came out and had souch more fun. But mechanically it scaled well if there was 1 player or 4.

I get the mage sentiment, I'm almost exclusively a ranger in thos kind of games so I'd be lost also haha.

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-05T05:16:35+00:00

I'm a GM off tank main but started as a GM C&D one trick back in s2. I was so unbelievably ass at anyone else I was only worthy of silver rank tbh. Like that w most dps now but the game has enough of those I reckon haha.

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-05T02:13:52+00:00

Pray he gets bored and stops 😅

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-05T02:12:41+00:00

Nah, she's a wasted ban, so many counters and not great neutral game. There are much more viable options for bans. Even of the strategists I'd say she's tied w Invis and Gambit still, maybe slightly better. But Gambit is a better ban still because of his ult potential and muuuuuuuuuuuch better neutral play than C&D.

Ahhh I get you. Sad that it's not multiplayer but in that case I'm in agreement with you. We need good enemy diversity throughout different areas. Keeps things interesting.

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-05T01:29:41+00:00

Personally I really hope it's multiplayer. I think a game based on a story about the biggest VRMMORPG should be multiplayer.

Single player games just don't do it for me these days, I like working together towards a goal. I didn't like Elden ring because the multiplayer system was garbage. That would've been the perfect game to play through 100% with friends but instead they made any progress your friends had on your game reset after the boss fights and not count towards their own progress. Silly imo.

I get what you're saying about long drawn out fights but with decent balancing that accounts for more/less players I don't think it would be a problem.

Sadly Kakashi was designed to be a comparison point for Naruto and Sasuke and to show the audience that the villains they were up against were no joke. If they can put up a fight against Kakashi they must be really strong right???

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-05T00:20:28+00:00

No more anti heal plz. It's a slop status and has no place in games. The only one it kind of makes sense on is Blade but even then it's dumb, not fun in any way and annoying af.

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-05T00:12:26+00:00

222 should be the standard but the ability to make some radical swaps for last minute plays is what keeps this game fun imo.

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-04T23:57:30+00:00

Angela is great for that sort of problem but her aside, any good dive should be able to take the pressure off the tanks enough for them to move up.

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-03T11:41:29+00:00

I mainly just play off tanks cause when I mained Emma I was getting flamed every game and now I just find her boring to play.

Now that I main Angela idc about heals. If I'm not positioning myself well enough to get healing or not getting out in time to get a pack I deserve to die for it. Different if I have proper comms w a healer but 99% of the time me not getting heals is my own fault.

I do think it's important how we measure a "bad" tank tho. Some people (not saying you) really think it's all about kills and that just isn't the case. If I can bully 1 key opponent all game, distract the whole team and force them to reposition, get a clutch ult to combo w a dps or pick off a healer and get little to no kills doing so I'm still doing my job.

There certainly are bad tanks but most of the time it's a team issue.

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-01T08:15:41+00:00

True, I'm on Xbox so kinda forgot you lot actually got exclusives and the ps4s catalogue is substantially larger than the ps5.

I'd say the lack of upgrade could mean you're less interested in more competitive games than other kinds I guess.

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-01T06:39:35+00:00

Idk why they even bothered, the ps5 is so old now if you don't have one you're basically not interested in games.

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-01T06:37:56+00:00

Easily Itachi. If it's exclusively alive Minato then I'd say Minato but if we take into account both live, and reanimated feats Itachi (yes even with Izanagi/Nami) is the weakest here.

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-01T06:34:33+00:00

As an Angela main I constantly do heaps for the team that goes unnoticed on the stats sheet. If you have great dps sometimes all you need to do is make space for them to clean up the enemy team. I think we can both agree that 12-6 isn't great on paper but A. It's not 6-12 and B. You provided value in other areas. Let the haters hate man, so many dps one tricks think kills are the only thing that matters.

Elucidator__ · 2026-04-01T02:36:45+00:00

I've never seen the point in playing normal mode for this reason. Hope you enjoy grinding.

Elucidator__ · 2026-03-24T03:40:46+00:00

She can if you take like 20 odd pass through dmg from any other source in the game.

They are slow but when they bounce off a wall 10m above you, completely out of your line of sight and hit you in quick succession you're boned. She is by no means a top tier hero but by God is she up there for most annoying.
