Apex Legends pro HisWattson explains why hated ring changes are actually good PlayApexEsports | Twitter\/Apex LegendsApex Legends players have been complaining about the Season 14 ring changes. From pros to casuals, it\u2019s hard to find a positive opinion. But Jacob \u2018HisWattson\u2019 McMillin is one of few in favor of the changes. Apex Legends Season 14 came with a whole slew of gameplay changes, many of which have been positively received. But the ring changes have been a hot topic in the community. A vast majority of players at every skill level feel like the ring changes were a mistake, but FURIA player HisWattson thinks these changes are a big step in the right direction. Ring changes are hitting Apex Legends pro play hard C9 Zach \u2018Zach\u2019 Mazer put out a tweet that shed light on how much the seemingly minor ring changes have affected pro play. According to him, the \u201cedge playstyle\u201d is disappearing from high-level play. In the replies, HisWattson defends the changes and claims \u201cit\u2019s better now than it was before\u201d and that, \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t be able to sit in the zone for 5+ minutes\u201d. C9\u2019s Jamison \u2018PVPX\u2019 Moore certainly didn\u2019t agree. He isn\u2019t \u201casking for a revert\u201d, but said the current ring is not okay. And, while Zach agreed with HisWattson\u2019s sentiment on not having players be able to sit in ring for minutes at a time, neither of C9\u2019s players are very happy with the changes. You\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a fully positive opinion of the ring changes from an Apex Legends pro, but HisWattson is one of the few to speak out in favor of the Season 14 ring. Winning Apex Legends pro games in a different way Out of all the Apex Legends pro teams, FURIA is the most aggressive team statistically speaking. They tend to take as many fights as they can, a playstyle that differs greatly from most other pros. Scott \u2018Pandxrz\u2019 Maynard, HisWattson\u2019s teammate, had the most eliminations in the event, and FURIA always topped the kill charts. Meanwhile, HisWattson earned MVP at the event for his performance despite FURIA getting second place overall. FURIA don\u2019t tend to win games by sitting back and playing the edge of the ring; they take every fight they can and take wins through brute force. The Season 14 ring changes force teams to get into the circle fast, and they cause big fights to break out much earlier than before. And, considering that\u2019s how FURIA played before the ring changes, HisWattson\u2019s fairly unique perspective on the topic lines up with how he plays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
