Horizon was added to Apex Legends at the start of Season 7, and quickly gravity-lifted her way up the ranks to become one of the most popular legends in the battle royale. She fits perfectly in pretty much any trio or duo, given the fact her ultimate can drag enemies into one spot, and she has some pretty unmatchable movement to boot. While she is popular and tops the charts as one of the most played characters still, some players aren\u2019t too happy with how she dominated the game currently and want some changes. Apex pros believe Horizon is too OP During his March 26 stream, TSM\u2019s Mac \u2018Albralelie\u2019 Kenzie Beckwith labeled the Scottish astrophysicist as \u201canti-fun,\u201d and that she \u201cdoesn\u2019t fit the game,\u201d even though plenty of players are pretty decently skilled at using her. \u201cThe reason I don\u2019t like her is because she goes against everything the devs have said they want the game to be, and what they don\u2019t want the game to be,\u201d the TSM member said. He noted that the removal of bunny hop healing was done because some players had too much mobility in fights, and was \u201cunfair,\u201d but Horizon herself has too much thanks to her Gravity Lift. \u201cThe average player can\u2019t f**king beam her out of the sky, let alone the pros,\u201d he continued, adding that Horizon strafe speed is unbalanced. While he joked about getting rid of her from the game altogether, Albralelie offered up a simple solution \u2013 give players audio cues when Horizon is around, especially with her Gravity Lift. Additionally, SoaR Gaming\u2019s Daltoosh agreed with a Tweet from streamer Faide that Horizon \u201cruins Apex.\u201d Respawn have already confirmed that some of the complaints that players have with Horizon are being addressed in Season 9. The devs are reducing the speed at which \u201cyou can wriggle back and forth as you go up her gravity lift\u201d in a bid to make tracking a little easier. It remains to be seen if these changes will be enough for pros, or if they\u2019ll want a few more tweaks bundled in as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends pros &#038; streamers explain why Horizon is \u201cruining\u201d the game Respawn\/EAA number of Apex Legends pro players and streamers have voiced their complaints about Horizon, claiming she\u2019s a little too broken even for the pro ranks and is in need of some changes.
