Pro Players Thoughts on NEW Season Changes

[@aztin2891]

Only explanation is Newcastle heirloom

[@BradTerrell-x1n]

Yep he's getting an heirloom and then they're going to Nerf the s*** of him. Of course they also have a bundle for him on launch day for you to spend your money on, on a supposed discount mind you. They're really trying to sell it

[@bingbongbooboo]

NGL I didn't think of this, and I should have, but you probably right tbh

[@loicortegat2940]

indeed haha

[@Dekharen]

it's likely not. The global heirloom have made them a lot more money than normal heirlooms, so they've pretty much stopped releasing them.

[@spencerkirkey9500]

[@Dynoqwerty]

Nah that Newcastle buff is ridiculous and thats not even mentioning the overall support buffs and LL being insane now

[@NowYaKnow965]

Taking bhop healing away for SO FUCKING LONG and then adding it back out of nowhere is wild. Really reaching deep in their bag.

buff newcastle > everyone play newcastle > drop his heirloom > everyone buying it = a lot of money from game without anti-cheat. classic apex move

Bro as a sweaty crutch no skill Horizon, why did they Nerf the only thing crypto had going for him????????

[@MrStafford91]

Everyone complained they couldn't see him and now he's useless 😢

[@SpeevieandWilliam]

@@MrStafford91lol same thing happened to bloodhound. After he and bang were arguably overused with his ult and bang smoke, I think people got tired of getting killed through smokes and complained to the devs lol

[@JohnJohn-bz1lq]

Ngl I won so many games because I could go invisible and get banners and respond my team and then put down a response beacon again then push the same team again and respond them again

[@iitzblvckgrim]

Cuz they only listen to pros 😂😂

That invisible crypto perk never should have been there in the first place. Shit was absolutely broken from the start

[@SeeRjED]

They need to remove the double small heals for support, that shit is broken.

[@CharizardLv95]

100% I have been on bo6 but read that, watched a little of FunFPS and him on gibby this season is crazy 😂

[@TylerJovan]

Na I like it

[@Biggaveli413]

if we’re being completely honest, these same “pro players” are the ones who killed the game 💀🤷🏽‍♂️ respawn bending over backwards to make these goofs happy is why apex is in the position it’s in

[@lethaldrew5804]

But every pro player is mad about the Newcastle buff???

[@BetterWithRain]

And these pro players make out like 5% of the community.

[@austinrichardson433]

Longbow mastiff with Gibby will be nasty

Making Crypto visible again is so brain dead. Now no one will use him again 🤡🤣

[@manny_12331]

only good players will use him.

One takeaway from this: Timmy can't read too well.

[@rayanhassan6383]

I know picking design will be useful that got me dying 😂😂😂

[@Mcsmokey1995]

This shit takes me back to when that one dev got fired for overbuffing caustic. Just give this season a week and everyone's gonna be complaining.

[@stevenschaffhauser26]

Newcastle is now literally wattson, gibby, and lifeline combined into one legend lmao

[@smokevengeance]

Skirmishers have been forgotten since legend classes came out😂

[@Lumiere98]

Timmy coping on PF. The dojo should’ve been running new castle

[@TwoLeftSh0es]

Watson getting the revive expert perk is huge. Not only does she get ring console but her ability to slow pushes is massively buffed with 25% faster revives, ally health regen and shield regen from ult. Watson with gold knock is near instant reset.

[@JEP-rh7ns]

I'm glad, I'm a crypto main and I'm tired of fakers only using him for "off the grid".

[@sirrichter5336]

Been a newcastle main since his release. I hate the buffs because ik it will lead to an inevitable big nerf :(

[@lightningwithin9186]

Can we get Verhulst’s point of view?

[@busuljuliam]

i just hope this change comp scene meta, i just wanna see the final fight please and not blinded by visual clusters

[@resolveyeetlord8340]

I have spent thousands of dollars on apex, and I couldn't feel better about switching to Fortnite. zero build is great, the building in FN has a much higher skill ceiling than apex, and you can actually solo stomp much easier and consistently in FN. Apex is TOO team oriented. It becomes too much drama, too much that you yourself cant control or be accountable for, that falls on the team as a whole. I refuse to play a crypto, or Newcastle, or rampart, or really any of the new crap. it's not fun, bunch no skill campers who think wasting their life for xbox pred means anything. When apex was just pathfinder / wraith / octane with some randoms on mirage, that was prime time. its all gone downhill since about season 7 imo. and they keep making it worse. they are taking away peoples ability to be self reliant, and that ruins the game. If I cant hard carry the homies, then I quit. ofc. theres no point in telling my bois to come suffer with me.

[@tristenanderson1507]

As a new castle main I’m happy he’s buffed but that means by the end of this season he’s gonna get nerfed into the ground so can’t be to happy

[@bellcranel8873]

NiceWigg is the most fun to watch reading the patch notes 😂

[@Shadybornsinner]

Seer is such an off meta pick. The amount or Rez I’ve canceled so far in ranked is crazy and you can spot crypto’s when cloaked. If you’re looking for a legend that isn’t meta but still gets great value, definitely play some seer while everyone is on their support kick!

[@JohnDoe-qh5xg]

When cloaked? They took out the invisibility...

[@Shadybornsinner]

@ crypto still cloaks when going into his drone. It’s his perk for blue evo upgrade. He just somewhat flickers randomly if you’re close enough to him now. I was able to see him on heart beat and silence him which kicked him from his drone and made him visible again.

[@JohnDoe-qh5xg]

@Shadybornsinner hmm sounds more balanced keep kicking em tho

[@avonire]

These are some of the craziest unbalanced changes I've seen recently. Newcastle gonna be a broken demon to fight

[@sanaisajai8118]

0 counterplay to newcastle now, cant even shoot down the fucking walls gg

[@MrGillie12]

An NFL needs to sign newcastle get him outta here

[@kylemanlongat6516]

Every team just has to have a newcastle now cos' what the fuck even is that

[@jacobsaks5891]

Its funny cause cheaters abuse movement characters. also cheaters arnt very smart so they struggle against big brain characters. Thats my hypothesis for this change. Cheaters just run straight into fights never thinking beyond Aim Shoot Fight. With this support buff makes it harder for them to just run over teams. I've observed 2 pred teams pretend shooting each other than just kill which ever team falls for it. Than they ignore each other.

[@cerealstealeryt5445]

Imagine matchmaking changes yikes. Thats how to keep vast majority from wanting to enjoy playing apex.

[@pimpslayerdaddyx9590]

Nah. My friends and I played for 3 hours and we agreed to leave and play other things until this shit gets fixed. You cant push anything. They turned the game into the 3 strikes ltm. Im out.

[@christianryan9989]

On paper these patch notes seem awful, but in practice? The game has been the most fun I’ve had in a LONG time. Third parties? Done, over with. Support legends reset the whole team INSTANTLY, you either have to git gud and win fair fights or get absolutely obliterated thinking you’re fighting a broken team. I haven’t had a SINGLE team fight where I felt disadvantaged or vice versa. I thought supports would feel overpowered but they really don’t, whether playing with or against them. However, like every other game with a support class, they do absolutely seem necessary as it should be. Running triple support isn’t the play either because you still NEED a rotational legend to reliably win games and preferably a recon legend for information to take fights, but running two supports is still very viable. I love these changes and if I’m the only one, I sure as hell don’t care.

[@Valkyrae123]

You’re most likely a bot player

[@christianryan9989]

@ Hit diamond last season and I’m not even in my prime yet. Maybe try not being bitter just because you’re disillusioned with the current state of the game, some of us play the game because we find it fun and not because we’re addicted to a game we hate.

[@gabrielrosa5839]

Yeah you’re definitely not a competitive player. The fact you think it’s good that you should never be able be feel disadvantaged in a fight shows you don’t have the game knowledge necessary concerning making the right decisions. I just don’t think you have a good scope of the situation and letting personal bias take over.

[@christianryan9989]

@@gabrielrosa5839 I did just fine before and I’m doing great now, thinking I’m “not competitive” just because I find taking fair fights more enjoyable than unfair ones is awfully presumptuous considering I’d wipe the floor with you this season or last. My scope of the situation is that you’re coping pretty hard right now, bitter in a meta you can’t thrive in because you just mindlessly push distant gunshots thinking you deserve free kp just for being aware that fights are happening instead of learning to fight and strategize beyond “they just finished, push.” Now you actually have to use your brain and practice self control. I pity you, not because you’re clearly gonna have a rough season but because you’re incapable of adapting and, ironically, that’s not conducive to a competitive mindset.

[@frankrizzo5958]

Thats super cringy to hear him say "theyre finally listening to me" especially when the game itself is and has been in meltdown mode.Maybe Ea and Respawn shouldnt listen to Streamers,maybe thats why so many have left Ea and Respawn and went to work for other companies and now the best people for the game are all but gone.They dont know what to do literally over at Ea and Respawn so they listen to streamers and change things like making the grass move more and put it in the game without even knowing that consoles will need video cards to run the game now.Pros/High profile streamers have all but ruined the game,expect more player loss this new season.The game wont be able to exist soon,it will be too costly to try and keep running it when they are losing players like crazy season after season.They have already suffered major quarterly profit losses so all the streams people tune in to KZbin to check out havent even helped to make the game more popular and bring new players to the game,streamers have actually had the opposite effect and made people not even want to play
