Making long range fights more prominent with a super buffed sniper Meta is a horrible mistake in a movement oriented game. Every game is so dull and boring when you get shot from 5 directions by 5 teams camping 500 yards away doing insane damage now with the Vantages Sniper plus Skullpiercer rounds.
You try to engage a team and get pooped on from every direction with nothing you can do. The only option is to fight one team and die or sit and snipe the whole game which is not
Apex Legends and hurts pubs.

I'm reading "dull and boring" as code for tactics and strategies you have a hard time countering. If that's not what's going on, if you genuinely are bored by medium-to-long-range gameplay, then I'm honestly surprised that you like battle royale at all since sniping is a pretty significant feature of the game. Even before Vantage. Or maybe sniping is a heavier part of some lobbies and less important in others? Don't know. Maybe.

Why is it so hard for you to counter snipers? Find and kill them. Why complain here ?

As the others have said sniping has been there since day one.
If you are getting sniped at from 5 teams from 5 different directions your positional play is not optimal. Standing still in the open will have that effect.
Try not leaving yourself exposed should fix the problem at least from 4 of the 5 directions.

I don't understand how people can just talk about how sniping has been there since day one to act as if we are exaggerating.
I have been playing since Season 0. Many of the people I have met in Apex have stopped because of what the game has become. Of course, you're in a wrong spot if you're getting shot from distance by 5 different squads. But the whole point is that it never was like that. Back in the days when we would spot a team in the distance shooting in the valley, we'd get closer. Now, my random teammates are just shooting with their Sentinel or godforsaken Charge Rifle from distance. Throughout the seasons we have also seen an increase in legends that simply promote the camping kind of gameplay like Rampart or this new legend. Also Storm Point was released, a map where in many places an R99 is just useless. And then the weapons, throughout the seasons we have seen the release of weapons like the Charge Rifle (...hate this thing), Sentinel, Bocek, Repeater and now the G7 back in ground loot. It's true that sniping has been there since day one. But since these last couple of seasons the community is being pushed into long-distance combat along with camping a lot. Apex in the first few seasons wasn't known for that. It is slowly becoming a different game. I used to tell my friends who were playing Warzone and Battlefield that I don't enjoy those games because I prefer action-packed close combat gameplay. But the only shooter I'm playing is becoming yet another one of those BR's, slowly losing its unique identity.
And stop acting like sniper meta isn't a thing, why the hell would so many people complain about it then? I'm not as pessimistic to say that the game is destroyed. It just needs a push back towards where it came from. Give us back a bit of that game we all enjoyed because of its continuous action.

Im reading "this season is garbage and like every new legend thats launched before is not tuned properly as per EA/Respawn Policy"
There is really no point in having shields anymore, every gun is a laser. You literally cant run for cover in a fight.
Kings Canyon is still literal garbage. 14 seasons and its still being ripped apart by the pros. That should tell you something.
The Heat shield as a hat bug is still prominent, why is this not being fixed? watching Valks fly into the sky wearing a heat shield is ridiculous.
Also, Vantage gets a blue square on the target before she even looks directly at them. Just scan the horizon, youll see the teams.
another season, another let down by Respawn.
