Dr Disrespect pinpoints major Apex Legends issue Respawn have got \u201cso wrong\u201d YT: Dr DisrespectMustached YouTube entertainer Dr Disrespect has pinpointed one major issue with Apex Legends in Season 13, claiming Respawn have got the balance of shields \u201cso wrong\u201d. Shields, for all the changes Apex Legends has undergone since its release a few years back, have stayed relatively consistent in how they work, albeit changing to Evo Shields. A protective buffer that enemies have to shatter before being able to deal damage to players, they are still restorable through Shield Cells (25), Shield Batteries (100), and Phoenix Kits (100 shield and HP). However, mustached streamer Dr Disrespect shared his major problem with shields, claiming they\u2019re unbalanced and Respawn have simply got them \u201cwrong.\u201d Dr Disrespect claims Apex Legends shields are \u201cso wrong\u201d In a July 28 YouTube video, the Doc threw together a montage of his struggles with the battle royale\u2019s shield system. \u201cI\u2019m just shooting f**king shields,\u201d he raged, time and time again being eliminated after lighting up enemies but failing to get the knocks. \u201cI\u2019m literally shooting shields for nothing! We\u2019ll literally break their shield to the very [last] sliver, and it\u2019s just not enough. It\u2019s just not enough.\u201d Shields definitely have a place in Apex, but the Doc clearly feels there\u2019s a pressing need for Respawn to balance them more adequately moving forwards. How they go about doing that is not clear, with some extra buffer on top of health points definitely needed to ensure TTK remains balanced and fired-upon players have a chance to react and survive. It\u2019s not the Doc\u2019s only issue with Apex, with the streamer poking fun at the game\u2019s glitches, including one where Valkyrie performs a finisher with an arrow protruding from her head. In the past, he has also called for an overhaul to the BR\u2019s audio system, so there\u2019s plenty for Respawn to be working on in the Doc\u2019s eyes. We expect players to be similarly critical of Deadrop, the upcoming VES title from the Doc\u2019s own Midnight Society development studio. If it has shields, we can expect them to be easier to break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
