I know people over time migrate away from games. I don't generally want to but I'm struggling to have a good time here.
Rampart is ok fun idea but it doesn't fit with the flow in general pub play. It's another super limited player addition. Honestly I haven't found many of the new additions season to season to be fun overall additions. I think you don't let the game change enough in dynamic and fun ways.
You've messed with the guns and distribution of everything in way that leads to all sorts of issues. In the end if you're playing pub its just a pain with more inventory management and tons of aggressive "start of season" players suiciding in 30 seconds game after game.
Why is it so hard to just let people play and not have to futz around? Put out a selection of good guns. Why do we need all these strangely hampered guns at all. Make them all useable. Sure give me a Moz but make it worth carrying as a backup and let's get to playing. Same with P20. Why can't it just do the hammer point thing so I can pick it up and quit futzing with my inventory? Who wants ANY gun that has a delay in shooting and then is constantly nerfed in other odd ways? Who wants a single shot light rifle that can't shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger? Who wants a burst weapon that doesn't have incredible accuracy as a trade off for the burst instead of auto?
Give me ammo, give me sights... This stuff isn't always a problem but it seems more than usual I'm fiddling around trying to find a decent amount of ammo or even basic sights.
I just wish you'd stop trying to change the nature of game play with these little tweaks because they aren't often adding any fun AND I don't see the changes in behavior.
Aggressive hot dropping by noobs wanting easy kill stats... suicides galore! Teammates hoarding ammo and not sharing. People scattering further apart to try to find gear they need. 3rd partied more often and faster than ever. All this while holding junk 1/2 kitted out gear...
Just give us decent gear and a fun place/way to fight and get out of the way please. I know you have big aspirations a a "pro" game but "read the tea leaves" and just make the game fun that's how you get where you want to go!
It's not fun. I think dedicated teams may see it differently but from the looks of the comments there's a lot not to like. I'm looking for my next game at this point. I'm not even having fun playing a few games and moving on. Season to season you just seem to be tweaking not innovating and not making things more interesting or fun. It's a very long, boring season like that.

I agree with this post 100%. I am a dedicated Apex Legends player. I have been playing since day 1 release. What you just talked about is FACTS ! These changes would make this game a lot more fun and enjoyable to play.
