15 Best Squad Compositions In Apex Legends
Video games should be fun. But issues with random players detract from the experience. It’s time for Respawn to step in and develop a strategy for dealing with players who can’t play with basic respect and dece
In the past few weeks, I've twice watched someone back out of a game because I chose the character they wanted to play. Both times, it was because my game defaulted to the character because I didn't make a selection. In one instance, I even apologized after noticing the other player had wanted to be the character I had chosen, but the player backed out anyway. It's important to note that in Apex Legends , selection order is randomized. In both cases, my name popped up first on the selection menu, meaning I had every right to choose whichever character I wanted to play. Regardless, backing out for something so mundane is problematic because my team is forced to play the game as a squad of two up against squads of three, which makes the game much more diffic
It is insanely annoying when management does not adapt to a livestream as it unfolds, constantly failing to capitalize on impressive or hilarious moments in-game (in favor of lazy, rhythmic camera-cycling.) This is an absolute sickness that has plagued spectator engagement during livestreamed events for the g
Skull Town and Thunderdome have been demolished and a new POI, Salvage, has been added. Salvage is a high-tier loot location with only a couple points of entry, so it is well protected, even though it's relatively small. Players also have access to a portion of the lab the Loba destroyed in Season 5 trai
Recently, I was matched with someone whose name was a play on the coronavirus. Perhaps merely evidence of a juvenile sense of humor, it hits different when 23,000 people in your city have died of the vi
Finally, poor Pathfinder's grapple has had its cooldown increased from 15 to 35 seconds. The developers explain in the patch notes that they don't think Pathfinder should be able to reposition so easily multiple times in a fight, and we tend to ag
Unfortunately, the inaugural season didn’t have much to offer. True, it patiently allowed time for new players to become comfortable with the game. But for those who really dove into the gameplay, there was a drawback of redundancy. Then, in the final two weeks of the season, a limited time mode featuring the "Apex Elite Queue" was introdu
_Updated on March 14th, 2020 by Drew Ferguson: Apex Legends has been going strong for a little over a year now, and in that year, the game has received a few new Legends to keep things fresh and team compositions creative. These new Legends have changed the playing field drastically from how it was when the game first launched and added dozens of new possible team compositions. Let's take a look at some of the strongest new team compositions that weren't possible back when this list was writte
Secondly, organizers should plan to make online qualifiers span across multiple days. The best teams always come out on top when given enough room to prove themselves, yet single-elimination formats with minimal gameplay prove much less. This is due to emphasis on luck regarding loot tables and zone location in battle royales. The reason why emphasis on qualifier length is important (even with fairness aside) is because events that pit the very best against each create the most exciting tourname
That being said, there have been some annoying formatting issues which hinder the competitive scene. Firstly, teams should not be able to simply buy their way into tournaments. People stake their lives and dreams on Apex right now – wallet size and internet refresh speed shouldn't determine who gets to play. Every team should have to earn their way into a major Apex Legends Walkthrough Legends event through a qualif
This is probably the most well-rounded combination on this list. All of these Legends can, in one way or another, protect a squad-mate for a short time, or at least help them recover if they've been hurt. Bangalore can create a visual cover for her team, allowing for easier escapes or giving enough cover to help p
On the opposite side of the map, Relay has been replaced by The Rig, and Wetlands has been replaced with Capacitor. These two remodeled zones completely change the flow of the map and offer higher tier loot than their predecessors. Capacitor is also at a much lower elevation than Wetlands once was, but is almost completely surrounded by wa
Apex Legends absolutely has what it takes to succeed in the realm of esports, but until these issues are addressed, it would be unsurprising to witness the game slowly die out to stronger competitors. None of the changes required are massive; thoughtful tournament formatting, a reliable game client, and more attentive broadcast management will each take Respawn's battle royale to new heig
Each of Mirage's abilities has been buffed in this patch. His decoy, which now lasts for 60 seconds, can be fully controlled. At first the decoy will still run in a straight line, but now Mirage is able to control him by pushing H. The copy will move exactly like Mirage. Similarly, the decoys that deploy when Mirage ults will also mimic his every move. Most significantly, Mirage now cloaks when using respawn beacons and cloak himself and downed allies when rezz
