Apex Legends players demand new support characters after Maggie reveal Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players are calling on Respawn to further diversify the game\u2019s character pool by adding more \u201csupport\u201d legends, after the confirmation of Maggie for Season 12 revealed another assault character. As is the case with the release of any new season in Apex Legends, considerable excitement has surrounded Season 12. Fans have expected Maggie \u2013 the friend of Fuse who was initially introduced in Season 8 \u2013 to be the game\u2019s newest legend, a fact which was confirmed with the Defiance reveal on January 26. While there have been some complaints about the size of her arms, players are generally very excited to drop into Storm Point as Maggie and see what she can do. However, some player frustrations surfaced following Season 12\u2019s reveal, with players pointing out that Maggie will be another \u2018assault legend\u2019. Redditor toasterlunch called out Respawn to this effect, commenting: \u201cAs hyped as I am for Season 12, I\u2019m really disappointed that Maggie is just another assault legend with a damage dealing Tactical. Especially since we only have 2 supports and in Season 13 Loba will [have been] out for 2 years.\u201d Attached to their comments was a graphic showing Loba and Lifeline as the game\u2019s only support legends, compared to nine different legends they classed as assault. Maggie\u2019s Tactical looks to be some sort of flame-throwing projectile launcher, as opposed to a gadget designed to support other legends (like Lifeline\u2019s DOC). Plenty of other players on the game\u2019s subreddit agreed, with the post sitting at upwards of 5,000 upvotes at the time of writing. Some argued that defence legends (those not included in the graphic) may as well be support legends, but others pointed out that legends strictly designed to aid their teammates do number very few. Respawn are well known for taking community feedback into account, but changing the abilities of future legends may mess up their plans for the battle royale. Only time will tell what abilities future characters bring to the party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
