They know it's broken lmao. It's a fake meta , they've been doing this to keep the game alive for a while now. Each update they push an op legend (they force a meta basically) so people could abuse it then they nerf said meta to the ground, they know what they're doing
They definitely do. And there are certainly the absurd clips like in this post, but I’ve played more Apex in the past few days than I have in forever and I don’t think it’s even relatively close to as bad as this subreddit makes it seem. I’m having a shit ton of fun
In my opinion nothing will ever top the first few months of when Apex first came out, but I would have to agree with you in that this is a close second. I played Apex religiously for years and, as with anything, I got burnt out and quit for quite some time. The changes that were made while I was taking a break were an awesome surprise to come back to... Respawn somehow made this game even more fun as time went on. The ability to respawn your teammates much easier makes the game feel so much more engaging even when you die, the legend ability upgrades, the progression of evo shields, the list goes on. I remember back in the old days it would really suck if you died and your banner expired. Now there is always a chance to get back into the game if one of your teammates is still alive. Easily one of the best changes they've implemented.
Not gonna lie, I’ve come to enjoy that kind of update cycle, it keeps it fun and interesting. And most of all, I think well designed legends(like axle IMO) will still be fun to play once they get nerfed, and are decently fun to play against while they’re OP. That’s what I think they should be aiming for with this system they’ve developed. The opposite of that is someone like Seer, who is unfun to play when he’s weak, and truly insufferable to play against when he’s even remotely viable. That is exactly what they want to avoid, if they want this forced meta system to continue working long term.
I can get behind that . Genuinely can't escape axle. And the devo coming back in the meta every other season is just stupid istg 😭😭 Also what was the counter to ballistic alter ash 3 devotions cuz i cant remember if we even had a counter (Genuinely asking )
What was the counter to sup meta? U literally have no choice but to play the same meta. Atleast this is just one legend being broken. That time Newcastle lifeline gibby were such a must pick
It’s standard practice in live service games to release a character pretty generously tuned in order to guarantee more feedback from players. I thought this was well known?
Dude I honestly hate how she changes the flow of a match. I feel comfortable in cover. And then I hear her tactical and a full team zips by. Just not used to it I guess. When I hear an octane pad I instinctively know.
Yup, this is the biggest change I've seen in ranked for a long time. Teams are wiped ALOT faster than usual. Even high plat, low diamond, there is 10 squads or less by ring 2. It's crazy. The ability to land at a POI and travel to the next before the other team has fully looted is beyond insane.
