TSM re-established itself as the number-one team in the world after winning the 2023 ALGS Championship. The tournament was also monumental in ALGS history as DarkZero\u2019s Zer0 and TSM\u2019s ImperialHal went head-to-head to decide an age-old debate over who is the best player ever. Hal led all Champs players with a 2.14 KD and put up an all-time 4.14 KD performance during the Finals. A title performance propelled the TSM legend to the highest-earning Apex Legends player of all time, and both teammates Reps and Verhulst rank right behind in second and third. However, the ALGS exposed a few glaring weapon and legend balancing issues. ImperialHal slams Apex Legends character meta While some teams threw in an odd Bloodhound, Fuse, or Gibraltar at the 2023 ALGS Championship, three Legends ranked miles ahead. A whopping 42% of picks consist of Bangalore, Catalyst and Horizon. And even when another Legend is in the mix, two out of three of these characters are almost always in the team. According to Apex Legends Status, the R-99 was the most used gun at the tournament, with the runner-up not even coming close. Three of the top five most-picked guns were SMGs and exposed a major weapon disparity compared to Split 2. Apex Legends pro player Effect claimed: \u201cFu*k this character meta, most boring ever.\u201d ImperialHal responded: \u201cI agree.\u201d Despite that, community members felt differently than the pros. One player responded: \u201cThis has been the best meta in a long time.\u201d A second user added: \u201cPost seer, this is the best meta the game has had in a long time.\u201d Seer dominated Apex\u2019s meta until massive nerfs to all three abilities knocked the Legend out of contention, and some fans believe it resulted in a more watchable product. A third commenter wrote: \u201cIt\u2019s much more exciting to watch than Seer. That was boring af to spectate.\u201d It remains to be seen if Respawn plans to change the battle royale\u2019s current weapon or legend meta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ImperialHal agrees Apex Legends \u201cmost boring\u201d meta needs a shake up Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends pro ImperialHal agreed with community members that the battle royale\u2019s meta desperately needs a shakeup.
