The Pit is frequently busy. It’s not always ideal because the squads have limited places to move, little cover and few ways to escape. Still, with highly mobile characters or characters with protective tactical abilities such as Bangalore’s smoke, Revenant ’s silence or Gibraltar’s dome shield, players can emerge from this zone victori

Mirage may present himself as a bumbling idiot, but much like Marvel's Deadpool, he's much more capable in battle than he gives off. Some legends like Pathfinder were weakened with the Season 5 update, but Mirage was one of the lucky ones who had an ability overhaul for the bet

Toxicity is nothing new in gaming. But I fail to understand why we should continue to allow this behavior to continue if there’s something we can do to mitigate it and reward those who don’t engage. I’ve had friends uninstall Apex Legends due to frustration with random squadma

When Apex Legends first came out, Bunker was a popular spot for Caustic players as he could set his traps and make it difficult for non-Caustics to survive the drop. But now, as more people are playing Caustic, it’s less than ideal as a drop location. It typically doesn’t have a lot of loot and the narrow hallway makes players susceptible to grenade s

Burglar's Best Friend is going to cause players the most trouble most likely. Since it is shaping up to be one of the best abilities in the game, that means that players will need to keep an eye out and ensure they don't get surrounded. If fighting Loba out in the open, they should keep on eye on her at all times. When she throws her bracelet, players will have a few moments to score some free hits before she teleports. Once she is gone, players should get to cover and hope she didn't appear behind them somewhere. If not she probably teleported up somewhere high to a vantage point, so players should keep their head on a swivel while they try to take down the enemy t

Located to the south of the west side of Slum Lakes, this area has many of the same benefits as Slum Lakes. However, it’s slightly more popular as a drop zone than Slum Lakes, possibly because it’s less remote. Players must pay attention to their surroundings as enemies frequently head here after fights in nearby Pit. Shots can also attract players from Airbase, just to the so

Further, this could help balance the lobbies. The theory would be that someone who has gotten "good teammate" accolades has earned the right to not have to squad with potentially toxic teammates. It wouldn’t have to be the case every game, but the "good teammate" would overall have the benefit of playing far fewer games with potentially toxic rand

In games of Apex gibraltar Legends , I’ve found myself matched with profile names that are blatantly racist (they used workarounds to pass spam filters). Once, the first thing someone said was a sexual comment. I’ve been told I was trash for losing a fight by missing a shotgun shot. Random players frequently separate from their teammates, go AFK in the middle of a fight with no explanation and can be toxic in any number of other w

Because of its central location and possibility of high-tier loot, Containment is often a very hot drop zone. Flyers locked away in cages will squawk to give away a person’s position, so try to avoid getting near them while looting. The elevated structure on the west side of the zone typically has plenty of good items, so if you drop in the zone as a team, two players can take this on to prevent too much separat

Gaming isn't only about games. It's a social experience to connect people. This is even more true in the time of COVID-19. Playing online together is one of the few activities that separated families and friends can do together and is a way to bond. Right now, siblings are shooting each other from across the world in Fortnite , and friends are scoring against each other in FIFA . Sadly African players don't get to join the party. They must put up with terrible lag and non-stop connection issues if they want to play. Not only is this a frustrating experience for them, but it kills the fun for their overseas teammates with a decent connect

The same goes for Riot Games, Ubisoft, and most other publishers. They've all released statements claiming to support black people and end racism, yet Africa isn't part of their plans and isn't worthy of their services. They may bring up the old argument about a lack of players and lack of infrastructure, but that's simply untrue. Africa has a large, vibrant gaming community who have to suffer from constant connectivity issues to follow their passion. Both Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Service also have functioning data centers in Africa to facilitate gaming serv

One solution is the one that Overwatch implemented, which allows players to endorse other players at the end of each game. In that game, endorsements only reflect positive attributes, such as Sportsmanship, Good Teammate and Shot Cal
