The game's issues are multifaceted. Limited Time Events offer mostly cosmetic changes, while persistent cheating, flawed matchmaking, and a lack of gameplay innovation are pushing players towards competitors like the newly released Marvel Heroes and the ever-evolving Fortnite. Respawn Entertainment faces a significant challenge in revitalizing Apex Legends and retaining its player base. Their response will determine the game's future.
