The game attracts players due to its competitive nature, both at casual and competitive levels. Players feel that, while the skill curve is steep, if they play consistently enough they can see solid improvements in their gameplay until eventually, they can replicate the gameplay of some of the top Apex Legends players. But recently, some players have been feeling that the skill gap in the game has been made insurmountable and \u201cunfair\u201d by the movement \u201cmacros\u201d that are in the game. Players claim macros are ruining Apex Legends experience Players are currently unhappy with the usage of macros in the game, and the unfair advantage it gives some based on the input system that they are using (MnK or controller) \u2014 and the service that they use to play the game. The main complaint that players had when playing against these macro users was the unfair advantage that it gives with movement. One Redditor complained that it was impossible to play Apex Legends while macro users are \u201cdoing figure 8s in the air\u201d at \u201c500% speed.\u201d For some, these players have taken their favorite part of the game, movement, and exploited beyond what is far \u2014 resulting in a battle royale that is \u201cliterally impossible to play.\u201d Other Redditors agreed, stating that Respawn \u201cdon\u2019t say anything or do anything about them [the macros].\u201d But for some, the problem extends beyond Respawn\u2019s grasp, claiming that a larger overhaul is needed and that the real problem is the \u201csteam controller configs.\u201d What is a macro? A macro is a shortcut that allows players to complete a certain move or mechanic by pressing fewer buttons than is usually needed. Usually, players do this by going into a game\u2019s settings and changing around button mappings. Apex Legends is a game where macros can completely change not only the user\u2019s playstyle but also the opponent\u2019s experience. Despite players being unhappy with exploited macros, the overall response to Respawn\u2019s newest Revenant Reborn Season 18 update was overwhelmingly positive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends Season 18 \u201cunfair\u201d macros drive MnK and controller players crazy Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends is currently at the top of the battle royale genre, alongside giants like Fortnite and Warzone.
