How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? This has been consistently happening since one of the winter express patches
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Nearly everytime I play Rampart
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? When using her ability / holding a wall, specifically when the indicator for where it will be place is clear / white, there is a very large chance that Rampart will go through the animation of placing a wall but not actually place it at all. This can happen multiple times in a row, making it extremely difficult to use her ability reliably in a fast paced game like apex legends or even in general. This chance is severely increased if the wall is being placed on environments with an incline, sometimes to the effect of not being able to place walls in entire sections of the map that previously were usable prior to the patch. More specifically, prior to the patch, anywhere that you were able to get a white indicator a wall could be placed and this is no longer the case.
What should be happening instead? When the wall deployment indicator is white / clear and the ability is used a wall would be constructed immediately following. A wall should only fail to be place if the indicator is highlighted in red rather than the white / clear color.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? This can be replicated in the training mode by actively trying to place cover in multiple different locations, and is more likely to occur on hills or environments with an incline.
This youtube video is a great showcase of the current issue that makes it so difficult to play Rampart now:
