NICKMERCS claims new Apex Legends map will finally solve game\u2019s biggest issue YouTube: NICKMERCS \/ Respawn EntertainmentNick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff has high hopes for new Apex Legends map Storm Point, which will be added to the game in Season 11, and believes it will go \u201ca long way\u201d to fixing what he sees as the battle royale\u2019s biggest issue. This week, Apex Legends is heading to \u201cStorm Point,\u201d a new tropical battleground, as the Respawn battle royale shifts into Season 11 with its November 2 update. Storm Point marks the first time since October 28, 2020 \u2014 over a year ago now \u2014 that Apex Legends players have been given a new map to play on. The battle royale launched with Kings Canyon in 2019, World\u2019s Edge was added in Season 3, and Olympus was dropped in Season 7\u2019s update. Needless to say, the map hype is hitting a fever pitch. Caught up in the hype is Twitch superstar NICKMERCS, who was a leading figure in the Warzone-to-Apex Legends movement earlier this year. He\u2019s \u201csuper excited\u201d to get his hands on the new battleground this week. And, on top of all the normal hype, Kolcheff has high hopes for one other thing; he sees Storm Point as the perfect solution to one major Apex Legends issue. For the most part, NICKMERCS has had nothing but praise for Apex since defecting to Respawn\u2019s flagship title in September. He\u2019s returned to Warzone in stints but remains quite loyal to the character-based game. That\u2019s not to say he sees it as the perfect game, however. The Twitch star has threatened to quit the battle royale entirely if servers aren\u2019t fixed, repetitively complained about the ranked system, and (perhaps his biggest sticking point) can\u2019t stand the \u201cthird-party\u201d culture that has developed in Apex Legends in the two years since the game\u2019s shock release. All that could be over, though, he claims; according to the Twitch star, the new map\u2019s swollen size \u2014 20% bigger than any other Apex battleground, Respawn confirms \u2014 means it \u201chas the chance to be the best of all four maps.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s going to be 20% bigger than any we\u2019ve had yet, which I think is really good for [finally stopping] third parties,\u201d he said. \u201cYeah, [that makes] this new map fire!\u201d Related segment begins at 14:42 in the video below. The Storm Point map and its bloated 20% size increase is far from the only thing NICKMERCS has been getting \u201creally hype\u201d about too. Apex Legends Season 11 is adding another character, Ash, and he can\u2019t wait. In fact, he sees her overtaking Wraith next season. \u201cThis is the new character?\u201d the Twitch star said while watching the Ash gameplay trailer for the first time on October 29. \u201cWoah\u2026 you can, like, aim up. This is her ult? Holy sh*t, holy sh*t, that\u2019s crazy. She [looks like a] Wraith port. I think [after Ash\u2019s release] that Wraith is going to be no more.\u201d \u201cI love it, I love it!\u201d he continued. \u201cYeah, of course [she\u2019ll get nerfed immediately]. It\u2019s the way of it. Remember when Seer came out, he was broken as f**k.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
