Playing Apex has made me realise. .

The “Thanks” of Apex.

Playing Apex made ME realize that… Battle Royales are indeed stupid and mindless affairs. WAY too little action for the length of time played. Imagine if you had to spend 5 minutes running from your spawn to the objective each time… yeah, no thanks.

So glad I moved to Apex. The dev team is great and it’s a pretty consistently balanced game for most players. It’s also just really smartly designed overall.

Ehhh.

The balance isn’t much better, Wraith has been the top character since release, and Loba has been bottom tier since she dropped, plus her bracelet has been broken for 2 seasons.

Plus EA’s monetization in Apex is deplorable, especially compared to Titanfall 2. Overwatch has a MUCH more consumer friendly loot box system.

[SleepyB34r-1518]

Yeh. Apex has good mechanics because it is from Titan Fall 2.

But its a BR… so its boring AF.

The pve in ow2 already has a ping system

[FizzlockHere-1323]

@Pachimari-2662

No, it wouldn’t … most players have tunnel vision or just give a ****

I’m saying it would help. Doesn’t matter how bad a player is, they can hear: “I’m going here!” And have marginally more information. What they do with that information is unknown. But it is availible, much more precise than before.

@HermaeusMora-21774

They’ll have to really slow down Overwatch’s gameplay for that to work. Direct ping plays tend to take some sorta planning prior to the “jump” as such, especially in this game.

I don’t think so. Just keep pings simple “I’m attacking here!”
“I’m setting up here!”
“Enemy here!”
They already have enemy spotted voiceline in the game, they would just move them to the wheel. This also exists with the Understood command, to a degree. If you aim at Point A, it will say “Attack/Defend the Objective!” Depending on what side you’re on.

@FractalElf-11897

Jeff K. said they tried it, it just doesn’t do anything in OW because the maps are so small and you are expected to be on vc anyhow.

Like I said above, keep it simple. Bc the maps are small, you don’t need a ton of them. And if you’re expected to be in VC, why is there an option to avoid it altogether?

Not to mention some ppl don’t have mics. And even if they have a mic,

@FizzlockHere-1323

Not everyone in Ladder knows the names of specific locations,

@Hyphen-21921

Ping system with 6 players is insane. You would have to mute literally half the team anyway. Imagine when someone dies and start spamming the ping where the enemy is? in Apex is bad, with 4 dudes it has to pump veins in the Brain.

We have a 4x limit on Voicelines and callouts. Put a 2x limit on Pings on the wheel, or just make them “cost” 2 callouts.

@ƖǟMƃŞǺŲƇƐ-2370

Big issue here is that with six players on each team a ton of pings would be going on at the same time, which would be more confusing then helpful most of the time. Maybe a voting system to promote a “shotcaller who can ping” in the beginning would work, but that’s up to the developers.

See reply directly above.

@Ninetales-21553

Or you could just go into Voice chat…

I do. That’s not the issue. See below:

@FizzlockHere-1323

Not everyone in Ladder knows the names of specific locations, so having a ping system to say “Yo, I’m diving HERE PRECISELY ,” would work wonders for Teamwork below Masters.

@FizzlockHere-1323

I’m saying it would help.

I used to be a VC Sombra but I stopped using mic. It often works better if you just do your thing and try to work around your team than try to coordinate with them and fail most of the time.

[LifeIsCrap-1481]

I can imagine the screen clutter of having 6 people pinging different things at the same time can become a little unbearable though.
