If there's one thing Respawn Entertainment does well when it comes to Apex Legends, it's in-game communication. The ping system felt revolutionary for a battle royale game when Apex Legends launched and it without a doubt helped players organise and share relevant in-game information without voice chat. However, there's a level of complexity to Apex Legends that a ping system can't convey and we think there's a feature that could help new players jumping into Apex Legends' ranked mode (and those of you solo-queueing) stay on top of communicating this information without the need for voice chat - or text chat, if you're a console player.
If you're sitting there wondering what this feature could be, this Reddit post from Apex Legends player 'Shocker_103' offers up a very good example of it - although, we don't really have a name for it. What we think Apex Legends needs is contextual tips - something akin to the Smart Loot system employed in the battle royale, but with suggestions relating to resource allocation and taking advantage of the unique abilities each legend has.
As you will be able to see below, an example of a pop-up that suggests a player with a high-rarity Knockdown Shield gives that to the Newcastle player in their squad to "increase the chance of a successful revival" is the sort of thing we're talking about.
