ImperialHal claims Apex Legends DDoS protection \u201cmade it even worse\u201d TSM\/RespawnApex Legends star Phillip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen believes Respawn\u2019s improvements to DDoS protection have only made things \u201cworse\u201d for players. Unlike some of its battle royale rivals, Apex Legends hasn\u2019t had too many widespread problems with cheaters. Sure, hackers have popped up from time to time, but they\u2019re rooted out more quickly than in Warzone. Though, there has been an ongoing battle with DDoS attacks. These attacks have been primarily used in Ranked lobbies, with the attackers using them to completely shut down enemies and farm them for easy ranked points. This has led to many DDoSers occupying top spots as well. Respawn have banned quite a few of the most notable attackers, and have implemented improvements that are designed to protect players. However, ImperialHal believes it\u2019s only gotten worse. ImperialHal believes Apex Legends DDoS protection has made things \u201cworse\u201d The TSM star aired his frustrations during his January 27 stream, as he claimed that the DDoS protection is a stepback now that attackers can target one single player instead. \u201cHonestly, I think the DDoS protection made it even worse because not only when you DDoS, you DDoS the whole server the first time. Now, you can somehow DDoS singular people. Somehow,\u201d Hal said. \u201cYou can legit DDoS one person and just get them killed. It\u2019s not the whole server anymore, it\u2019s just one person.\u201d It didn\u2019t take long for him to become the target of an attack either, as Hal quickly quit out of a game after it became laggy due to DDoS\u2019ing. Timestamp of 0:49 As we\u2019ve seen before, DDoSers aren\u2019t shy about going after some of the biggest names in Apex, and will openly flaunt their attacks while someone is streaming. The ability to go after single players makes this an even bigger concern than before, because at least when they went after a server of players, you could quit and start fresh before long. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see if Respawn has something else up their sleeve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
