After playing this game from the release and until now, I have experienced good and bad things happening in Apex Legends these last few months. But anyway, I had a blast while trying to aim for new personal records, playing along with a bunch of randoms, and having late night games with friends.
What I really enjoyed with this game, is the trackers. It was fun to see how many kills I've got since I started playing, but also how many wins I got from season 1. What I miss with this trackers, and especially with the wins trackers, is all wins I've got outside of season 1. If that could be changed for next season, where they either add or separate the trackers, it would be easier to keep a track of how you as a gamer is doing.
Another thing I miss with this game, is a record of match where I can go back and see what went wrong. So many times have I been sniped or killed in insane ways, which I then wanted to go back to see the match from the opponents view to see if the really hit me or if it was a bug in the game. This is not an option at the moment.
Recent days I have found it really frustrating that the weapons seem to hit outside the characters, even when I'm constantly following and aiming at the enemies. And what about the energy weapons? Enemies seem to have a shorter loading time than me without the turbo charger. And when battling some enemies who uses energy weapons, and you enter the fight with either a P2020, Mozambique, or one of those weapons who either shoot slow, one bullet at a time or have low magazines, you loose the battle really quick.
And last, I come to the knockdown shields. Early in this game, when this whole adventure started, I found it nice that the knockdown shield was a knockdown shield. You could live a little longer knocked down when the shield was blown away. After some updates this ran away, and I found myself eliminated when the knockdown shield was shot away, and they didn't hit me anymore. Is the whole concept of a knockdown shield gone?
Hope there will be some changes to the weak weapons in season 2, I look forward to see what you will do with knockdown shield, and I am looking forward to what other things may come when season 2 drops.

Now, after season 2 have launched, I have tried my best to see if there is something that's better or worse. If we go down from the beginning of the first post here:
The new tracker, where you can see how many games you played, how many kills you've got, etc., is something I love and didn't think I actually missed in season 1. What's missing on that tracker is actually how well you did in season 1, but after all, it's a great tracker.
I haven't still seen if there is some recordings of matches in the game, but I sure hope it will come soon.
What they did with energy weapons, are beautiful! Extended mags (which are hidden) are great, 'cause now the enemies can't start firing 32 or 44 shots right away. Mozambique is a wonderful weapons (actually got three kills in the same match with it, and I don't use it that often), and it seems like they have fixed EVA-8 as well. What I miss now is the opportunity to get a peacekeeper, 'cause now I can't find it, no matter how hard I look. And when one challenge is to get 10 kills with it, I find it kind of frustrating.
Knock down shields seem to work when they want to. Today I find it very strange that an enemy hit me, I get damage but my knockdown shield didn't get any damage at all. But it only happened one time, so I hope it was a glitch.
One thing I have found very strange with this new patch, is the opportunity to get knocked when you run and hide behind a wall. Yesterday, right after the update, I got into a fight. I had to run away to heal and reload weapons, so I tried to run behind a corner of one of the buildings around Market. When I just got past the corner and behind the wall (read: two walls between me and the enemy), I get hit and knocked. So, if there are this one second lag or something that makes this, it's just *. He shouldn't have gotten me knocked.
One other thing I have found strange is the challenge with Bloodhound, where you have to get elimination when using all father. Did one elimination today, but nothing happened on the challenge.

Are you 100% sure it was an elimination and not a knockdown? Glad you're enjoying the weapon balance and the feedback on the peacekeeper is great. Gotta admit myself, it was tough to find many of those yesterday and it can be difficult to get 10 kills in a short amount of time.
Behind knocked down behind the wall sounds server connection related. We'll keep an eye out for more reports.
