With Apex Legends Season 16, Respawn made one of the biggest changes to the roster of legends in quite some time, as they overhauled the class abilities. That, combined with a few individual character changes, has led to one of the biggest meta shake-ups in a few seasons. So much so that Octane has finally been dethroned as the second most popular legend by Pathfinder, with the Forward Scout even on his way to taking down Wraith for the top spot. The changes have also had a knock-on effect on the compositions that pro teams run in their matches, but ImperialHal isn\u2019t a massive fan of it and is looking forward to a change. ImperialHal hits out at \u201cstupid\u201d Apex Legends meta for Season 16 Split 2 The TSM star, who has been playing as Catalyst in recent games, let loose on the current meta after his squad was wiped out as they tried to gain access to a building at Black Sands Island on Storm Point. \u201cI\u2019m so done playing this f*cking comp, it\u2019s so f*cking useless. Like, I\u2019m literally relying on positioning and nothing else,\u201d he said, venting his anger. \u201cI don\u2019t get to utilize anything else, it\u2019s so f*cking dogs*it. I can\u2019t wait to get off of this thing, it\u2019s so stupid.\u201d Hal added that he\u2019d rather play as Horizon, despite her nerfs, as the current setup requires a more passive playstyle. \u201cI can\u2019t push a f*cking team because I\u2019m playing as f*cking Catalyst,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019m tired of playing Cat and literally doing nothing.\u201d Timestamp of 1:35 Given the changes with the last update, squads have been running Catalyst, Seer, and Valkyrie as their three characters, with Rampart, Wattson, and, Crypto also getting some love. Teams have found success running Horizon in the past, so she may creep back into the meta if Hal decides to switch back. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see if that sticks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ImperialHal slams \u201cstupid\u201d Apex Legends meta amid frustrations with Catalyst TSM\/RespawnTSM star Phillip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen hit out at the \u201cuseless\u201d composition that has taken over the Apex Legends pro scene meta, as he\u2019s eager to move on and use something else.
