Apex Legends players split after TikTok calls for huge Armor nerfs Respawn EntertainmentThe Apex Legends community is split, after a TikTok suggesting changes to the armor system has divided players. We\u2019re just around the corner from the release of Season 14 of Apex Legends and it\u2019s quite a different game from what it once was. Since the game\u2019s release three years ago, for better or worse we\u2019ve seen a slew of changes, such as the addition of new maps and a ton of new Legends. One area that\u2019s been largely overlooked is the armor system \u2013 which hasn\u2019t had many changes since the game\u2019s launch. But, that\u2019s set to change in the next season, as the devs have finally decided to remove self-revive completely. However, one player has suggested an entirely different change to shields, and it\u2019s got the community torn. A thread in the ApexUniversity Reddit on August 6 shared a TikTok, in which a player suggested for armor to be changed in a different way instead of changing the knockdown shield. \u201cApex hot take, pro players complain about the knockdown, but what really should be removed is armor swaps,\u201d the player said. \u201cWhy would armor be full on a dead eneme,y when the armor was depleted in the process of the neemy dying. It\u2019s not about skill anymore, it\u2019s about who can armor swap the fastest.\u201d Other fans in the thread agreed that the player has a valid point when it comes to shields, but they\u2019re not exactly sold on the idea. \u201cNot going to lie, it\u2019s a valid point but in a game like Apex where 3rd party is expected from the start, middle, and end of a fight, shield swapping is essential,\u201d said one. \u201cRemoving armor swapping would just make dealing with 3rd parties so much harder, terrible take,\u201d another added. On the other hand, one player somewhat agreed with the suggested idea, admitting that shield swapping shouldn\u2019t give you full armor. \u201cEven tho fast armor swaps are indeed a skill, it\u2019s not a good mechanic. I agree that armor swaps should not give you full armor, it makes surviving third parties a matter of whether or not the previous enemy was equipped properly,\u201d they said. With Season 14 set for release on August 9, it\u2019s unlikely we\u2019ll see any changes like these anytime soon. But, as always the devs keep an open mind when it comes to community suggestions, so it could come to fruition in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
