Controller aim assist is too much of an aimbot which made all the russians turn their hacks on and it’s just controllers vs cheaters and some nolifers in this game these days, not fun at all for most casual players
I remember Apex Legends being pretty fun when it came out; did something happen or was it just EA being EA?

The decline of a live service game is so inevitable that it seems silly to me to ascribe a reason to it. Eventually, people just want something newer than regular content updates can provide.

Unless youre either League or Fortnite, your game is going to go to the wayside. Except Fortnite seems to be declining

League is too.

They overtuned controller aim assist to the point that 99% of pros swapped to it to remain competitive.

I’m still playing it and it’s still pretty fun. Seems to be a controversial take but I do like that they’re constantly changing mechanics since I don’t really take the game seriously.

Afaik they’re still using awful third-party servers, lag compensation is still aggressive as fuck, they tried to “fix” visibility by slapping a bandaid in the form of healthbars, and the anticheat thing was another bandaid instead of a surgery. Overall it’s kinda stuck, all of the old issues are still there.
They have a shitload of new cosmetics though, if that’s your jam. Funnily enough, they were so greedy even esport orgs didn’t want to keep working with them. Rspn offered a one-time payment, orgs wanted a percentage of sales. Mind you, it’s a fairly big esport that advertises the game for them (btw played on better servers than available in-game).
