Apex Legends spectators: Why you can\u2019t see if you\u2019re being watched anymore Respawn EntertainmentAfter a slew of comments have been demanding the Respawn introduce the spectator count function back into Apex Legends, we\u2019ve broken down the reason why it was removed to start with. As Season 9 of Apex Legends continues to get underway, Respawn are constantly working to improve their game. With the month-long dry spell finally at an end, we\u2019re looking forward to seeing some serious changes mix up the Outlands. Fans everywhere have been concocting innovative features of their own. From Skyrim-style lockpicking abilities to bouncing around the Firing Range in zero gravity, players have done it all. Amid all of these crazy suggestions, though, are a group of players who are clutching onto the good old days, and they\u2019ve taken to Reddit to show off their controversial wishlist. Some players want Apex Legends spectator count back In a recent Reddit blast from the past, some players have expressed that they want the \u201cspectator count\u201d UI feature brought back. Once upon a time, next to the skull representing your kill count you\u2019d find an open eyeball. This showed you how many players were spectating you, with the number rising and falling as players joined or left your stream. The feature was promptly removed, however, as it made cheating incredibly easy. If you were spectating an enemy, all you\u2019d need to do is tell your living ally where they were and what their item status was, and they\u2019d be easy prey. Despite this, a thread arguing that the feature should be reinstated has garnered an impressive 6.2k likes at the time of writing, and is on the rise. It\u2019s clear from looking at the comments that, for all of those upvotes, there are rather a few downvotes too. Most respondents are pointing out that \u201cthis is gone because it\u2019s easier to catch cheaters without it,\u201d while another notes that \u201cI always got nervous when I had viewers, I think I enjoy the game without it.\u201d Others contradict this, writing \u201cjust some insight into cheating, you can see who\u2019s spectating with or without this,\u201d with a final response claiming that it gave them \u201csuperpowers\u201d as they thrived on the pressure. It\u2019s doubtful that Respawn will bring the all-seeing eye back into our games considering the reason that it was removed.
