Apex Legends devs playtesting more Loba buffs for Season 8 RespawnLoba has already received buffs in Apex Legends Season 8, but mains of the Translocating Thief have demanded just a little bit more, and Respawn are entertaining the idea. This time, the buffs are coming to her tactical ability, Burglar\u2019s Best Friend. [jwplayer vP8vm9zZ] Loba never quite landed as well in Apex Legends compared to some of the other post-launch releases. Picks like Horizon and now Fuse are dominating the Outlands, but Loba never really shone. There\u2019s a lot of hidden power in the Translocating Thief\u2019s kit between her bracelet teleport and her ability to see Purple and Gold items from miles away. Loba mains want this to be realized, but Respawn is hesitant. She\u2019s already seen some buffs to her ultimate in Season 8, allowing her to peek into care packages. However, there\u2019s some issues with buffing her bracelet, as it can quickly turn OP. \u201cWhy are we so conservative balancing her tactical? There\u2019s good reasons! Combat readability, that is to say having a good idea where the enemy could have gone to in this case, is super important for making Apex feel as good as it does,\u201d developer Daniel Klein said on Reddit. \u201cIf you ever fail to see [or] hear the throw, you might suddenly have a Loba behind you you didn\u2019t expect, and that feels awful.\u201d That doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re neglecting her though. There\u2019s two changes planned for later in Season 8 that\u2019ll excite Loba mains. One, Respawn are fixing a bug that has caused her teleport to fail in multiple areas. Two, they\u2019re potentially removing the slow penalty when she throws her bracelet. \u201cHer tactical still has a bunch of areas where it fails. That\u2019s a bug! Whenever we find those, we try to fix \u2019em for you as soon as possible,\u201d Klein added. \u201cWe\u2019re currently playtesting a version that doesn\u2019t slow you down at all while the bracelet is in the air and that doesn\u2019t slow you down when you arrive at your target location. Bit scary, but been testing well so far.\u201d There\u2019s no ETA for these buffs, but they might be enough for more players to pick up the Translocating Thief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
