[@x8Ghostyx]

"The core apex experience revolves around teamplay" but my randoms never do anything as a team

[@BurnedWardrobe]

😂

[@thiccboi3812]

Literally every online game

[@ghostfrieza2904]

And they know that and they laugh at it. There will never be a permanent game mode for solo queue players and I hope the game eventually dies because of it.

[@ReptilesXtremeGaming]

Yah I feel you. But at the same time you also can’t TRUST your randoms… even in ranked. Bronze, silver, gold & even plat players can be very very unreliable. No mic, no pings, completely different play style or just decided to run/rat most of the game. The problem is matchmaking and how it pulls a team together.

[@x8Ghostyx]

@@ReptilesXtremeGaming yeah when I trust them they always cost me rp and if I don't listen to bad callouts they push by themselves and die, or leave the game, wish solo's was permanent, but guess I can always 1v2 or 3 every team, don't get why pubs can't have solo's permanent, and ranked stays duos and trios

[@KingTezGaming]

“Solos was released back in season 2 and everybody hated it” Idk who everybody is and I prolly won’t find out

[@3hndmn539]

ong

[@da_gecko16]

Why are they making solos a takeover for HALF OF THE SEASON?!?! Like they really can't just make a new playlist for solos or something? I pretty much only play duos with one friend and that'll probably stop us from playing almost entirely for the first half

[@ethanshah-clark1127]

Having to play no fill trios is stopping you from playing the entire split?

[@da_gecko16]

@@ethanshah-clark1127 Yes. 3v2 in this game is a death trap for casual players like us, and trying to play with randoms never really seems to work well for us

[@hbshadow8981]

Season 21 actually looks good, but hope they dont ruin it like every season

[@spinneryourdinner]

Other than the hacks, this season was alright wym

[@x8Ghostyx]

@spinneryourdinner what about all the annoying bugs, the cheater problem that makes the new ranked basically unplayable in higher ranks, there was way more microtransactions this season than actual content, not trying to complain tho

[@ToastersGhost]

@@x8Ghostyxwe got an entire new shield system and long awaited asked perks wdym nothing new 😭

[@maozedowner5915]

They don't ruin it, the cheaters do.

[@bobrossdevilbrush]

you were right at first but then you made yourself seem like a hater

[@user-md3vz4ze4w]

FINALLY THE WINGMAN BACK ON THE GROUND 😭🙏 (btw i think the fact that the digi threat was removed sounds like an indirect buff to bangalore lmao)

[@user-yuri665]

It is, and also to BH

[@Derpybaby707]

Kinda buff and kinda nerf as many bang players used smoke to kill ppl with digi

[@XC11301991]

​@@Derpybaby707It's still overall a buff for what it was intended to be used as defensively. It's nerfed for its unintended cheeseiness.

[@KhenzuYT]

Fr

[@ryancarter2959]

It now requires you to run a scan legend if you want to deal with smoke

[@10-den-see]

I absolutely needed solos dude...bringing solos mode back into the game is gonna be explosive

[@pars1eyf1akes12]

Idk, I feel like Ash is very different from Alter.. Ash has info from her passive, CC with her Tac and Rotation/repositioning with her ult; whereas Alter has support/looting from passive, repositioning with tac and repositioning with her ult. Their only overlap is that they both offer some repositioning potential (and even in that they're different in value/versatility/utility), they are largely different characters in regards to what their kits are and can do

[@draiso4503]

Crazy how Horizon was considered so broken that their solution was to give everyone else good perks and leave her with shit ones.

[@CrystalTamer]

Regarding Crypto Network Traffic (former L3 perk) is now a new passive Crypto will have naturally in S21. Simply throw the drone out to ping number of squads in the area. New perks: Network Expansion L2 (formally L3): Neurolink and EMP range increased 25%. Quick Handling L2: Better drone handling. Satellite Imagery L3: Scan persists for 1.5s. Hackathon L3: Double drone recharge rate and gain speed boost when drone explodes (EMP or destroyed).

[@JimmyNutrition-rb8vy]

I hope energy ammo is a lil bit easier to find

[@Sicboyz-ku2wr]

Stop creating counters to fuse. Newcastles wall buff puts him with wattson and literally every skirmisher legend that can counter the poor guy. He just wants to go BOOM

[@user-rm1rn4nk7j]

the thing is that YOU dont want to fuse to go meta. it will be horrible time for everyone involved

[@JesseHardesty]

Poor Fuse, he's my main man

[@arctictropic1147]

What are you talking about? Alter + Fuse is gonna be meta for how cheesy it will be. Imagine thinking you're safe in a building, only for the duo to create a portal through the wall and start spamming grenades inside. God forbid you get stuck, you're pretty much doomed at that point.

[@Jimmy-mv4ov]

@@arctictropic1147 I became a Fuse main for 1000 kills when someone blew the motherlode inside a building on me. And I strived to do that whenever I have the chance 😈

[@rat2131]

as a fuse main, i don’t think there are too many counters to him his grenades apply bout damn everywhere but round a wattson pylon

[@nathanmoore1893]

Very informative thanks.

[@ALITPUMPA]

Thing with Horizon is that her first 2 perks are just horrendous, for sure the worst in the game. Change 1 or both to something else and I’m satisfied lol

[@Astra-fo8oq]

same seing bats and grenades is shit

[@the__witch__king]

Ash first 2 are terrible too, hope they change them so it improves her ult

[@Cloudid47]

Because horizon is already one of the best legends she dosent need perks 🤦

[@horizonkanyon]

​@@Cloudid47 can u aim then she isn't the best

[@horizonkanyon]

Maybe give her cool down on ult perk or something

[@kitsuneneptune4819]

I mean I'll miss duos in the short time because my mate and I love it, but I think it'll be a welcomed change

[@jellybegger]

Grrt yesterday during ALGS some of the pros were using unreleased skins i think i might’ve seen that new flatline you showed in this video

[@GungHoSourdough]

The digi threat being removed may be part of their new “heirloom quality” sight optics they were toying with.

[@pars1eyf1akes12]

So for the legend buffs, apparently they included Caustic in the article but the footage from content creators' (like Daz and TGM) early access showing the legend buffs, including the Newcastle buffs that you mention, doesn't include any Caustic buffs/changes (so it makes me wonder if there are unknown Caustic buffs incoming? or was that a mistake/misquote and they meant Newcastle?)

[@Grrt]

Probably the latter

[@HaiAmbit]

My guess is that alter’s void will highlight enemies so that you can see if enemies are camping your void nexus

[@juicetomato2153]

The view thru phase is a think now Ik for sure wraith is getting it as a buff and I think alter is getting it with a perk that gives a seer scan on nearby legends or people who go thru her tac

[@dawsonnguon3901]

i missed the season 4 heat sink and the season 20 recolor top tier bc i decided to take a break now im back on apex and i want that overheat recolor soooooo bad

[@alexanderac2479]

And that is indeed, a high level depiction of the Ash Buff 1:44

[@tomlloyd5256]

Bro you know what would be crazy with the infinite ult duration, if you scan ring consoles with a legend that can do that, have valk and alter, place alters ult in an advantageous spot, ult out frag or rat then tp back and since u have the infinite duration perk you’ll be completely safe 💀

[@yuno_4731]

This update for NTH with Taida on Newcastle + they play Watson 🤯🔥🔥🔥

Ngl this season boutta be fire ESPECIALLY Alter i feel like I wanna be a Alter main but I can’t leave my boi Octane after he’s been my main since season 1😭

[@thatswhenireachformyrevolv3595]

newcastle thing might be related to when wraith and mirage went to where the first newcastle died and met a weird woman

[@freak5035]

I feel like a nice much needed nerf for Horizon is make her tac take a second to fully deploy. Like she tosses it, waits a second, then it starts up

[@ofekk213]

Man I remember solos all the way back at the Iron Crown event in season 2, was a lot of fun. I have no idea how they said "everyone hated it" because from my experience it was a very fun mode. I hope that one day we could get solos as a pernament mode. Edit: oh boy, killcams! Now I can finally see how that 20 bomb bald wraith beamed me with a flatline from 100m away!

[@CantroDK]

Honestly if they are doing all this the least they can do is allow grey and blue sniper mag for wingman kind of balances it correct IMO.

[@deadsoldiertr]

What if she got called Freaker instead of Alter and she phases us to inside her instead of phasing out?

Grateful for the Ash buff but damn that should have been a thing seasons ago I expect they'll make big changes when the prestige skin drops no doubt in 50 seasons

did not expect the goat sim soundtrack

LETSS GOO THE WINGMAN IS BA- WAIT WHAT IT CANT TAKE MAGS ANYMORE WHAT WHYYYY

I finished diamond this season in split one, but since that glitch that removed itens from our accounts my game says I got plat 3 split one, are they gonna fix that issue and give me and others that got the same bug the right badge ?

[@kage2701]

So do we know if heirlooms are gone for good? Also what have they done with animated banners not being a thing in game

[@AmanAndHisFish]

Ohhh so you the rank you get put in is based on what you got this season that’s gonna be fun for me n my mate who got reset 2 ranks from masters after this update 👍👍

[@sk1dmrkk21]

Great update, thanks 👍

[@viktorvacho2444]

W changes to newcastle crypto honestly..

[@An-it5sw]

Can't wait for Solos since 3 strikes is coming a end 🎉

[@threehades9967]

This season definitely looks like they have taken a while to prepare this, and get the feeling a lot of their “scrapping” is just them trying to put content back under the rug so they can act like they have no intentions to add something that they really will add later on to I guess surprise the players.

[@Stealth_360]

Love the goat sim music

[@D3N1N15]

The only concern i have is that i heard that Solo mode is replacing Duo's when it'll come out.. I really hope that isn't true..

[@Grrt]

It's true

[@D3N1N15]

Well that's a bit sad for those like me who only have one friend to play with 🥲 Thanks for the fast answer!

[@ExHorizonMain1]

Not even mad, they cooked with this season can’t wait 🔥🔥

[@xvaize]

will stats count in solos mode?

[@SentryUwU]

I just came here for PvZ music.

[@nerdcuddles7731]

I think ash should get a complete rework like Revnant, one that makes her play like Ronin. Its stupid that she has Northstars defensive ability, she clearly got a hand-me-down from Valk because "Oh shes a pilot... She was a Northstar pilot right?" because Respawn devs have not actually played Titanfall 2's campaign.

[@gagewarner6502]

The Seer skin looks like Octane's prestige skin lmao

[@OryxTheWendigo]

I was just thinking about kill cams and then now theyre releasing solos with kill cams😭😭

[@elliottp0tat063]

went don’t that just make respawn banners offhand so u can still hold/shoot ur gun??

[@Peter-ui6ey]

Ok, what they did with Ranked is the first thing that actually makes sense. Now, instead of everybody from rookie IV to Apex Predators starting in rookie, they'll actually be in their respective ranks.

[@AikaroMusic]

They need to buff valk especially after they added the evac towers

[@orichalcum2100]

[@ns.yannis9718]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES, MY WINGMAN'S BAAAACK

[@ryancarter2959]

I’m a huge fan of the changes to solos. Let’s just hope it’s not full of teaming like it was last time

[@GhostRZ5]

I think the statement on solos was intended remember game development is worked on months in advance they probably wanted to make it a surprise but leakers 😂

[@ReptilesXtremeGaming]

They need to make matchmaking better for your squad if you solo Que. going up against 3 stacks solo queing in ranked isn’t fun when randoms are unreliable. They need to boost the starting weight of kills in ranked. To many times you get 3,4 even 5 kills and still end up with negative rank in gold lobbies onward because a random 4 or 5th party kills you. Because there are still 14/15 teams left. With no audio. Audio needs to be addressed Ranked minimum lvl needs a increase to like 75. Cheating also needs to be addressed. Watch clips and experienced moments where some random swings a corner and beams you out of nowhere with zero info.

[@MangaSenpai2017]

5:20 blue and orange/yellow white again?😂

[@mrtastynugget449]

How many bullets got wingy now?

[@gumbo2001]

[@FAKKER_rap]

WHY THE F they cant add an OBVious feature to MERGE TEAMS of 1-2 players mid match? At least in pubs! 🤬🤬🤬 so a solo can join a 1-2plr team if he is far from them at first circles

[@chankjankem]

[@imMA48TTVYT]

Let’s see how long it takes for respawn to ruin this season 😊

[@brandonsantana5981]

Respawn should know by now that if they want people to come back and keep playing, they have to cater to the large majority of the playerbase who solo qeues. Solos is the only way to do that, so im glad to see theyre finally getting their heads out of their asses. It doesnt matter if the game is team-based or not when the sbmm doesn't give teammates at your skill level. Either fix sbmm, an impossible task for them, or add solos, something that is proven to work in literally every BR game

[@user-yuri665]

Didn't you watch the video? It literally said there that solos was once introduced but was met with negative reception. Same thing with Arena. Also as a solo queuer since I started playing, I still rather play with randoms, so not every solo queuers prefer solo mode

[@pubplays368]

@@user-yuri665Apex will always be a rat infested dog third partying mess because the majority of players are pussys. Doesn’t mean solos doesn’t work. It’s more fun 1v1s my everyone for the top spot and easier to farm lobbies instead of relying on dogshit teammates. I shouldn’t be paired with .6 teammates as a 6.9kd player 🤦‍♂️

[@huntergehrels8924]

I'm personally very excited for solos, I didn't get to play it much when it first dropped, but now I'll be able to, I am irritated that the only way respawn could possibly imagine adding solos was to get rid of Duos? Which makes absolutely no sense, but whatever, I've been saying for a long time that apex should add solos and squads, for the people that have no friends, or the people who have more than 2 friends 😂 but they'll never actually add those as permanent game modes, because they're too stupid to know how to do that (every other developer has already done it)
