While NICKMERCS became known to millions of Twitch viewers because of his Fortnite talents, he has maintained his audience thanks to his talents in Warzone and, recently, Apex Legends. Since transitioning to Respawn\u2019s battle royale a few months back, Nick has not looked back and continues to draw in thousands of viewers with his streaming charisma and impressive gameplay. So impressive, in fact, that he reached Apex Predator rank. However, it wasn\u2019t an easy or quick transition for the former 100 Thieves man, as he explained during a November 26 live stream. Nick highlighted his early streams as of very poor quality, even describing himself as a \u201ctrashcan\u201d on Apex. It was only after weeks of grinding to improve that he found himself enjoying the BR more and more. \u201cBro when this game came out I was so bad at Apex,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can ask my chat\u2026 I would explain Apex to people like it was the one shooter that I played that I wasn\u2019t great at. \u201cAll the other shooters, it takes me a matter of time and I got it, but this one I just couldn\u2019t.\u201d He continued: \u201cThen, finally, I came back and tried it again and I got hooked. Thank God man too. I don\u2019t know why \u2013 it\u2019s maybe just harder to get good at. Yeah [there is a big learning curve]. I used to have sponsored streams and I\u2019d be so bad.\u201d It is certainly true that Apex\u2019s learning curve is steeper than other games like Call of Duty. Its unique movement system and Legend abilities mean there\u2019s plenty for new players to come to terms with but, once they have, there\u2019s also so much to enjoy. That\u2019s ultimately why Nick has stuck around, despite his struggles to acclimate at first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS explains why it took him so long to get hooked on Apex Legends Respawn \/ Twitch: NICKMERCSFaZe Clan streamer NICKMERCS has explained why it took him so long to become addicted to Apex Legends, despite always enjoying Respawn\u2019s battle royale.
