Apex Legends pro Albralelie grills Catalyst on release: \u201cAs bad as day one Fuse\u201d EA \/ Respawn EntertainmentCatalyst has finally launched with Apex Legends Season 15\u2019s arrival on November 1, but players aren\u2019t impressed. Streamer and pro Mac \u2018Albralelie\u2019 Beckwith claimed the new Legend was in dire need of buffs, calling her \u201cas bad as day one Fuse\u201d. Catalyst has finally hit Apex Legends as part of Season 15\u2019s launch on November 1. Touted as the fabled \u201canti-scan\u201d Legend to counter the likes of Seer and Bloodhound, there was hope in her kit being able to shake things up. However, at least based on early player opinions, she\u2019s fallen dramatically short of that goal. Albralelie didn\u2019t sugarcoat his thoughts after getting some hands-on time with Catalyst, even comparing her to Fuse\u2019s woefully weak release. \u201cCatalyst is as bad as day one Fuse,\u201d he claimed. \u201cUnfortunately, her ult not blocking Seer ult is the nail in the coffin on top of other issues (mostly geometry related) with her Q and ult. He did concede Catalyst\u2019s \u201cpassive is great though, wish it kept doors alive through Horizon ult is all.\u201d It\u2019s hardly a glowing opinion on the new character though as players get their hands on her for the first time. Catalyst\u2019s ultimate, Dark Veil, is meant to \u201cerect a tall and wide wall of ferrofluid, blocking vision and scans, and blinding enemies that walk through it.\u201d However, with Apex\u2019s wild terrain, it sometimes doesn\u2019t do its job and lets scans go through. Some have also struggled with her passive Barricade, given it\u2019s tied to an alternate interact key some players haven\u2019t yet bound in-game. Catalyst has already seen a decent amount of play, being the fourth-highest picked Legend at 7.7% according to stats site Apex Legends Status, and that\u2019ll only climb over the next few days, as is normal for newly released characters. As players learn how best to use her kit, opinions may change. But if it doesn\u2019t, expect some buffs in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
