HisWattson has forged a reputation as one of Apex Legends\u2019 most talented players, recently moving out of his trailer as a result of his breakout year on Twitch. Viewers of his Twitch streams will be well accustomed to his honesty, never one to shy away from offering a negative opinion if he believes it\u2019s apt. This approach has even seen him recently banned from ALGS competition after criticizing Respawn developers. However, on November 15, the FURIA pro revealed more concerns about the battle royale in its fifteenth season, saying it could \u201cend up like Titanfall\u201d if issues like cheating are not solved promptly. HisWattson worried Apex Legends will \u201cend up like Titanfall\u201d due to cheating Responding to a tweet from a fellow player who was eliminated by a cheater, McMillin said: \u201cI\u2019m convinced this game doesn\u2019t have any security at this point. Cheaters are allowed to do whatever they want. Ranked just becomes more like arenas every split (completely ignored). People who play ranked at the highest level are thrown aside\u201d. While cheating has existed in past seasons, there have been multiple reports from players that it is especially prevalent in Season 15. We recently saw Xbox Predators accused of DDoSing lobbies in order to secure extra wins. In a second tweet, HisWattson expressed concern that Apex would go the same direction as Respawn\u2019s previous title Titanfall if the problems are not clamped down on soon. \u201cApex is so f**king good I just don\u2019t want to see it end up like Titanfall,\u201d he said. He is not the first prominent community member to criticize Season 15 and Respawn\u2019s handling of it. TSM\u2019s ImperialHal recently called on the devs to \u201caccept the issues\u201d to save Apex Legends in Season 15. We did see the November 14 patch solve a couple of the game\u2019s most egregious issues \u2013 like an invasive freezing bug \u2013 but HisWattson clearly wants to see more done to tackle cheating specifically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends pro HisWattson worried it will \u201cend up like Titanfall\u201d amid rampant cheating Respawn \/ ALGSApex Legends pro Jacob \u2018HisWattson\u2019 McMillin has expressed concern that the BR could \u201cend up like Titanfall\u201d amid more cheating problems in the ongoing Season 15.
