It\u2019s no secret that the Doc is not the world\u2019s biggest fan of Fortnite BR, having raged at the game and uninstalled it live on stream on countless occasions. However, not even he could deny the virtually unprecedented levels of success the popular battle royale has reached since its release, becoming a worldwide phenomenon that\u2019s even spilled over the boundaries of gaming and culture. Discussing the game during his June 10 livestream, the Two-Time cited its building mechanic as one of the major reasons why so many people \u201clatched\u201d on it, considering how revolutionary it was when first introduced. \u201cWhat made that game so intriguing and why people latched on it was this ability to build a wall and a ramp while you\u2019re fighting somebody at the same time, in real time,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was a new mechanic, and it created a skill gap. That second-to-second mechanic, I\u2019m not seeing a lot of from the industry.\u201d He contrasted Fortnite BR\u2019s complex building feature with the special abilities that players can use while Apex Legends, explaining that Respawn Entertainment\u2019s battle royale simply does not have the depth in its innovation to keep up. He confessed that the abilities in Apex, as creative as they may be, simply come down to players pressing a singular button that then activates something, which lacks in that \u201csecond-to-second\u201d interaction that Epic Games\u2019 game has done so well to nail down. \u201cThe exact opposite approach is like Apex, for example,\u201d he explained. \u201cAll you did is press a button at a certain time, and you go invisible for a set amount of time, and then you\u2019re out of it. There\u2019s not a lot of control; you\u2019re not giving full control to the player. All their abilities are very \u2018let me touch the button, and I have to perform something for a certain amount of time.\u2019 No no no.\u201d Despite Doc\u2019s comments, there is still a lot to be optimistic about right now for fans of Apex Legends, considering that the upcoming Season 2 is expected to be a lot more exciting and packed with content than the first. The second season will introduce the brand new Legend Wattson, a new weapon called the L-STAR, and possibly even dragon-like creatures that players can use to move around. Season 2, called Battle Charge, will go live on July 2, 2019, featuring a new and improved Battle Pass that is going to be \u201ceven bigger and better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Disrespect explains why Fortnite has been more successful than Apex Legends Prominent streamer Dr Disrespect believes that a specific aspect of Fortnite Battle Royale has allowed it to be more successful than Apex Legends, and he\u2019s revealed the reason live on stream.
