Gamers can't get enough of Apex Legends. Over 50 million people have played the game since it was released on February 4, and it has seemingly taken the discourse from other battle royale games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite. It's also received a stellar response from gamers and critics alike, both of which have praised the fast-paced gameplay, weapon mechanics, ping system, and unique character abilities. Put simply, thereꦺ's no other battle royale game like it.

But, like... every game, it's not perfect. While we won't deny that it's a great game, we also can't help but notice some problems that the die-hard fans are not noticing (or at least ꦫwillfully ignoring). Nearly every aspect of the game is flawed in some capacity, although some flaws are obviously more damaging than others. Some of the problems are admittedly nitpicky, and they consist of little more than quality-of-life problems. But quality-of-life problems are still problems. Other issues are far more serious, and they may impact the longevity of the game if they are not swiftly dealt with.

Of course, with any issue, opinions will differ. Some people will not have a problem with what others are having problems with, and that's fine. And we're not saying that these problems ruin the game for everyone. Rather, we are simply pointing out the issues that players are having, even if a small segment of the community are having problems with that particular issue. That said, let's get into the 25 things that are wrong with Apex Legends that everyone chooses to ignore.

24 🥂 Connection Issues Are Abundant ﷺ

Perhaps the most blatant issue with Apex Legends is its persistent connection issues. Whether you're on consoles or PC, you will experience it. 🌟Sometimes players can't even get into a game, forever stuck in the main menu while the game spins its wheels. Some players completely freeze up in the middle of a game. And sometimes they are kicked out entirely. This is especially frustrating when you're in the middle of a good game or gunfight, and it's something that desperately needs to be addressed.

23 Lag Is An Inevitability �🌠�

We suppose lag can be a problem for every video game, but that doesn't excuse the fact. Many players have reported stru🍃ggling under extreme lag in certain cases, and it's staring to get annoying. The lag can range from slightly annoying to severe – from the odd frame rate dip to running in place and/or struggling through stutters. players also report severe lag upon landing, w🐷hich can persist for minutes at a time. Nothing takes you out of a game more than starting it with lag.

22 🤡 No Punishment For Leaving 🌳

Apex Legends has a huge problem with players leaving the 🌊game. And in a game that requires teamwork, this is unacceptable. You've all experienced it – one player goes down and immediately leaves the game, leaving your team at a significant disadvantage. There needs to be some sort of punishment for players who prematurely leave the game. Yeah, they don't get the XP that they earned, but really, who cares? People always se༺em to value their time more than their XP, so something else needs to be done.

21 💯 Wildly Inconsistent Hitboxes ♍

If there's one thing that will make you throw your controller in anger, it's trying to hit a Wraith. One major problem with this game is its wildly inconsistent hitboxes. While Wraith and Lifeline are like baby ants, Gibraltar and Caustic are like rhinos, and their hitboxes reflect that. This of course leads to much less experimentation, as everyone just mains Wraith, Lifeline, and Bangalore. Yeah, you'll get the odd Caustic or Pathfinder, but be prepared to give them all the armor and syringไes. They'll need🧸 it.

20 Everyone Has The Same Amount Of Hea๊lth

A similar problem is that every character has the same amount of health. This becomes a major problem when you consider the inconsistent hitboxes. How is it fair that Gibraltar has the same amount of health as Wraith? Many players have been clamoring for a more balanced health pool. For example, give Wra⛄ith less health to make up for her minuscule hitbox and give Gibraltar more to buff his massive frame. As it stands, this is even more incentive to main the smaไller characters over the bigger ones.

19 Too Many Useless 𝄹Abilities 🔴

It's no secret that some characters' abilities are better perceived than others. Many people love Lifeline's care packages and health drone, and others utilize Bangalore's smoke and dash to grea🐽t extent. But most players would agree that some abilities are downright dumb. Non-Pathfinder mains make fun of his "useless" abilities, and others think that Gibraltar's shield doesn't do enough to warrant its existence. Others argue that Caustic's gas traps are particularly dumb because they affect his teammates as well. Hey, don't hate us. We're just the messengers.

18 So Many Hackers༒ Aꩵnd Cheaters

Respawn has a major cheating problem on their hands. And no,♔ this isn't "cheating" as in "this guy def🃏eated me, so he must be cheating." No, these are legitimate cheaters, and they're starting to significantly impact the game (particularly on PC.) Many notable streamers, including DrDisRespect, have on Respawn to deal with the cheaters, and on March 8, Respawn declared that they had already banned 355,000 players for cheating. It's certainly a start, and it's nice to see Respawn actually doing something about the situation.

17 No Feature To Stay Together 💃

We don't know abo𒊎ut everyone else, but we would love to be able to stay with a team, especially after a win. There's no better feeling than winning a game after workin𒊎g well with a team of strangers (especially if you haven't been talking.) Unfortunately, you are all forced to go your separate ways after the game. It would be really cool if Respawn implemented a team-up system so winning teams could play together again. It's a little quality-of-life implementation that could go a long way.

16 Tri𒁃os Can Be Problematic

Apex Legends is unique in that it consists of teams of three, and this means that communication and teamwork are essential. However, there's always that one teammate who goes off by themselves and/or leaves the game. This isn't fair to the other players, and it's very hard for a duo (or a single player) to win. We suppose this is more of a problem with the players than th🐠e game itself, but it wouldn't be an issue if there were more gameplay options.

15 No Duos

For example, duos would be a fantastic implementation, and its absence may sorely hurt the game's longevity. While random players will undoubtedly continue to leave games, duos lends itself more to friendly, co-operative play – two experienced friends would no longer need a random third who leaves halfway through the game. Fans have been clamoring for a duos mode since the game's release, an🐓d we think Respawn should listen. We're s🅷ure it's coming, but it's going to be a long wait.
