ImperialHal wants Apex Legends to copy Fortnite to save competitive and bring viewers back TSM\/RespawnTSM star Philip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen has urged Respawn to follow Fortnite by introducing cash prizes for normal Ranked play to boost the Apex Legends viewership. Over the past couple of seasons, many Apex Legends fans and players have been pretty vocal about their fear and belief that the battle royale is in need of serious change. Many, including ImperialHal, have stated that the game may not have too much longer left, given that many PC players have walked away. With Hal being a competitor in the pro scene, he typically views changes with at least some focus on that. As a result, following the Season 18 update, Hal has suggested that Respawn may want to look at what Epic Games have done with Fortnite\u2019s competitive scene to reinvigorate the battle royale. ImperialHal wants Apex Legends to copy Fortnite\u2019s Cash Cups It came up during his August 20 stream as Hal noted that he\u2019s previously told Respawn themselves that they need more \u2018new\u2019 content when a big update is released \u2013 not just a new character and some changes. \u201cYou can\u2019t just have three months of the same thing, right, and then you have an update and the only thing you change is one character, you know?\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s what Apex does, they draw out the content because if they add too much, the game won\u2019t last as long.\u201d Casting his eye to the competitive side of things, he noted that Apex needs to follow Fortnite\u2019s Cash Cup system. \u201cThere are a lot of things that the game can do that can draw more attention, there isn\u2019t just one single thing,\u201d Hal added, noting high ranks need better rewards. \u201cThe game also needs to prioritize and understand that their game\u2019s viewership is very reliant on competitive, and if they do Cash Cups like Fortnite does, it would f*cking thrive.\u201d Though, the TSM star noted that would also have a negative knock-on effect to Ranked play. As per SullyGnome, a stat-tracking website for Twitch channels and games, Respawn\u2019s battle royale has completely fallen off a cliff. Since the start of Season 18, the total viewership is down by only a few thousand viewers compared to last month. His point about Fortnite is also backed up by the stats. While Epic Games\u2019 battle royale doesn\u2019t have the same massive viewership it once did a few years back, it maintains a higher average than both its rivals in Apex and Warzone. So, maybe it is something to consider.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
