Apex Legends players call for Season 12 feature to prevent enemies abusing lag Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players are asking Respawn Entertainment to implement a feature in matches that stops enemies on poor connections being able to abuse their lag and come out on top in matches. Any player of online games will know how frustrating poor internet connection can be \u2013 to experience and to play against. Not only does it affect a player\u2019s ability to eliminate opponents, but it makes it even more annoying when a stuttering enemy manages to eliminate someone with a solid connection. Now, Apex Legends players are calling on the game\u2019s developers to implement a feature in online matches that would stop lagging players from being able to play on. A Reddit post from player \u2018ALFAROM30\u2018 articulated the point, after they were eliminated by an opponent who couldn\u2019t be hit as a result of their lag. They said: \u201cCouldn\u2019t shoot him, now I know why\u2026game should kick you out if your connection is this sh*tty.\u201d Plenty of respondents echoed the sentiment, with some going on to accuse the opponent of \u2018lag switching\u2019. This refers to players using a literal switch to periodically cut out the internet connection to their console or PC, meaning they will stutter in-game and be incredibly tough to play against. A feature that removed players on poor connection would presumably tackle anyone \u2018lag switching\u2019 as well. Others suggested solutions that would lock players into their region when matchmaking \u2013 thereby making it less likely they would experience poor connection. One said: \u201cApex is probably one of the only games I know of where having a sh*tty or high ping connection is actually an advantage.\u201d The feeling appears to be shared among many Apex players \u2013 going some way to explain why they\u2019re calling for changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
