  1. My question is… I started on pa4. Moved to PC later. If cross progression came, works I be able to merge my progression? If not I’m just going to lose loot either way. Just feels like a big loss regardless for me anyways

  2. anybody else realize that there is no aim assist anymore on console while aiming in bangalore's smoke (even when you are seeing the enemy) only when you have the golden sight attached it does.

  3. I dnt use these legends so I wouldn't consider this bias but I think mirage and rampart need extensive buffing. I hate getting these legends on my team because I know we aren't going to win because I have never played with a good mirage or rampart. Ik they exist but they r few and far between. Bangalore, pathfinder, and loba just need a tiny bit of buffing to balance them and make them solid legends. Pathfinder was slightly over nerfered and they recently gave him a small buff to bring him back but with horizon being a legend, octains new jump pad buff and the fact that all recon legends can now scan, pathfinder has become a much less viable legend. His passive is also the passive of two other legends who already had passives. They tried to make up for this by giving him a fully charged zipline after scanning but that Is the most useless passive ever. Bangalore should be able to see enemies inside the smoke its something that she always should have been able to do and would make her a viable legend. Would also make bloodhound more necessary tho. Could be overpowered so maybe they could make it so she only saw them for a few seconds or something. Loba just needs to be able to grab banners with the black market and be able to run while using her teleport but I heard they r working on shortening the animation which also works. These legends would also be very viable legends if they had these buffs. Respawn is too busy nerfing and not doing enough buffing.

  4. First time watching but i definitely agree with you – I don't understand respawn's logic when it comes to balancing legends, instead of making powerful legends weaker (except dumb outliers, like wraith), they should focus on buffing the weaker legends to bring them up to par with the stronger legends.
    Why are they okay with mirage being a weaker legend and wattson only ever being used in plat+ ranked?
    ALL legends should have a similar level of viability in fights, just depending on how certain players want to use a legend.
    I think they should aim to make all legends A tier (no S tier and no b tier and below). Potentially make a 1 or 2 slightly overpowered and slightly weaker to switch the meta up between seasons but there should NOT be a massive discrepancy between the power of legends.
    For example this is my idea for buffs/reworks to legends:
    Legends that do not need changing: Bloodhound, Octane, Wraith

    Bangalore
    Overall the most balanced character in the game, but a two grenade perk like fuse and AOE on her tac would make her A tier

    Caustic:
    I think his gas should make players vulnerable so instead of taking damage from gas directly, bullets do more % damage and they have slowed walking and impaired vision, or if the gas does do damage it should be 1 per tick (or however fast the damage is dealt), also make him less fat and remove fortified

    Crypto:
    He relies too much on his drone to do everything, so passives and ult should be seperate from the drone
    Throwable EMP (that does not require drone) like seen in the Forever Family stories from the outlands like I show here: https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/lic9xg/crypto_rework_idea/
    Under the radar passive: less visible on digi optics and reduced scan time from bloodhound

    Fuse:
    I think a buff would be cool, but he hasn't been long around enough for me to come up with a suitable idea

    Gibraltar:
    Nerf his gun shield, make his dome take longer to activate, and a very slightly longer delay for his ult, also make him less fat and remove fortified

    Horizon:
    Less strafing movement on her tac

    Lifeline:
    Give her her old revive passive, and make her ult give pre kitted weapons, where ring 4 gives her a guaranteed heirloom weapon in her care pack like in the limited time mode event

    Loba:
    Fix her tac and make her less thicc, reduce tac cooldown 100% to something like 12-21 seconds (based on distance)

    Mirage:
    Increase the bamboozling he can do. Make him the biggest bamoozling legend ever.

    Pathfinder:
    Remove low profile, as a passive when no weapon is equipped he can zoom in at different levels by holding the aiming key, to something like 4x-10x zoom which can be switched between using shift

    Rampart:
    Give. her. a. buff. Idk what but buff her

    Revenant:
    Also needs a big buff, smaller hitbox and/or fortified as a start

    Wattson:
    Needs a rework

    Also can they nerf the bloody mastiff, apex legends has become mastiff legends

  5. I'm a wraith main and after a while it started pissing me off that they kept nerfing her down to the point where they couldn't find anything else so they changed her run which isn't a factor in direct combat since she has her gun out. Now the hitbox change came in but she still has low profile and also takes body damage in the limbs. I have a secondary too and do better with them by far mostly because they can take hits. Wraith hasn't been able to take any hits the past few season since she gets melted so fast. You can't Q out anymore either half the time because it's WAY too slow. The only thing that makes wraith really strong is the player. I've gotten so much better at movement and fast thinking because I had no choice. Now me with other characters is pseudo OD.

    I always said that wraith I never had an issue fighting against. Season 1 and 2? Yeah she was borderline broken I'll give them that but now? No way. I stated before it baffled me that they couldn't figure out her high pick and win rate is simply because she's picked a LOT across the board in competition and just in general. Her kit is really good for ANY team. She helps her squad and herself and beyond that she's popular. Of course that will inflate the numbers. The more she's picked the more chances she has to win. My point was proven when Horizon dropped. Same deal. Really good all around kit for any team composition. They created the "perfect" legends for what this game is and scratched their heads. They need to just change or tweak the lower tier legends who are based around a niche' that can be kinda useless in some scenarios because they have specific things they're geared to and just bring them up to a more practical and useful level instead of killing good legends. At this point it's just frustrating.

  6. "They may do something to Wraith and make her complete trash" it's been done after the hitbox nerf for me. I get beamed so easily now that I gave her up after 2 yrs of maining her I'm done. She feels like complete garbage of console and there's no way to play aggressive with her anymore. At best she's a portal bitch in ranked and that's it. Horizon main now until they nerf her into the ground :/

  7. It’s like u said, wraith needed multiple nerfs but they took it too far. With the q nerf and no hitbox or naruto run she was fine. Her win % is only high bc most of the other legends are terribly designed to fit in a game like apex. Honestly, what does fuse do in this game? What is his value? 1 in every 5 fights u will hit 1 for 30 that’s it. Rampart puts down a giant minigun IN A BATTLE ROYALE GAME. Like WTF? And u give her cover and a dmg boost? Revenant is like a bad version of sombra from overwatch and characters like caustic throw down gas everywhere and the only thing you can do with it is wait in a corner. The only good character that wasn’t original are horizon and wattson bc she is purely designed around high-level ranked. Like who would have a higher stats? An offensive combat based legend. Or someone who throws gas all around a building and waits to fight the final team w a grey shield?

  8. It’s not wraith that is good. It’s the other ones that are bad. Almost every single legend that isn’t new is so terribly designed to fit in a game like apex. What on earth do those new characters bring to the game if 2/3 fights you either get 0 value or don’t even get the chance to use it? I don’t get y characters like caustic and rampart are a thing in a battle royale. They are completely based around sitting in a building and hiding from everyone. And if the devs say they want their game based around shooting and make all the abilities as useless as this. There is no variation. If I’m bored of a playstyle I can’t just switch characters cuz it all feels the same. They need to remember what it was that made this game explode on launch. One of the only games to ever conquer fortnite on the charts. It’s bc of the amazing movement and playstyles w the amazing abilities. Not sitting in a building for the entire game with a character that can only keep people away from you
