Several factors contribute to Apex Legends' woes. Limited Time Events offer minimal new content beyond cosmetic skins. Persistent cheating, flawed matchmaking, and a lack of gameplay diversity are driving players away. The recent release of Marvel Heroes, along with Fortnite's continued popularity and diverse offerings, exacerbates the problem. Respawn Entertainment faces a significant challenge to regain players; their response will determine the game's future.
