Apex Legends used to be a game that truly stood out for its innovative gameplay, but as time goes on, it's hard not to feel like the magic is fading. One of the most heartbreaking changes was the removal of the Arenas mode. For many players, Arenas was a perfect mix of strategy and fast-paced action, offering a break from the intensity of the Battle Royale format. The 3v3 setup fostered teamwork and skill-building, creating a space for players to sharpen their abilities and bond with their squads. Losing it feels like losing a piece of what made Apex special.

These days, many in the community point to the game’s struggles with balancing new features, a shift toward monetization over meaningful updates, and a lack of focus on the player experience. Some criticize the developers for not addressing gameplay issues like matchmaking and player retention, which have driven away casual fans. Others feel like the removal of Arenas and other features is part of a broader trend of the game becoming overly sweaty and less fun for the average player​.

Respawn Entertainment has faced challenges in adapting to its community's needs, and while updates aim to innovate, they often feel like they miss the mark. Many of us miss the good old days when Apex Legends was just pure, thrilling fun—a game that kept us coming back for the camaraderie and unique gameplay. Now, the game feels more like it’s chasing trends rather than staying true to what made it great.

I hope Respawn finds a way to reignite the spark that once made Apex such a standout title. Until then, I’ll keep missing the Arenas and the golden era of Apex Legends.




EDIT*****

I change my mind, they brought back arenas. ^-^ Games good again.
