Apex Legends devs explain why nerfing \u201cmust pick\u201d Legends & guns is vital Respawn\/EARespawn Entertainment have explained why they feel it\u2019s important to nerf legends and weapons that become \u201cmust use\u201d in Apex Legends as they aim to make it a \u201cforever\u201d game. Just like its battle royale rivals, Apex Legends has gone through a number of different metas over the last few years. Though, unlike those, Apex also has additional concerns around its roster of legends. Many players will stick with their favorite characters \u2013 be it because of their abilities or what cosmetics they\u2019ve got unlocked for them \u2013 but there are times when it\u2019s difficult to find success in the Apex Games without using one or two different characters. Most recently, Valkyrie has taken that spot as a must-use character because of her Skyward Dive ultimate, but Respawn believes it\u2019s important to try and root out these types of metas. Respawn don\u2019t want \u201cmust pick\u201d metas in Apex Legends Ahead of the launch of Season 14: Hunted, Respawn senior design director Evan Nikolic explained the team is always thriving to keep things from going stale. \u201cAnytime we see a meta gravitating towards something that becomes a must pick, a must do, that\u2019s a non-choice that\u2019s not interesting to us,\u201d Nikolic told GamesRadar. \u201cSo we have to go in there and tend to the garden, pull out a few weeds, trim the trees a bit, and get more interesting choices back in there.\u201d The Apex developers also want the battle royale to be around \u201cforever\u201d and that means keeping things new and interesting, while also being at the cutting edge with new innovations. With Season 14: Hunted, they are bringing in some sweeping changes with the updates to Kings Canyon and tweaking weapons, but there are plenty of players who aren\u2019t happy with the current state of the game. So, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see what happens moving forward with the battle royale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
