Respawn has been trying to buff Revenant for a long time, but they\u2019ve had a hard time trying to figure out how to do it. They\u2019ve acknowledged his tactical and ultimate abilities would be too strong with a direct buff in the past. So, they\u2019ve been racking their brain trying to find another way ever since. Fortunately, it seems like they\u2019re finally a step closer to finding a solution. When asked about the potential for a buff to Revenant\u2019s passive, designer John \u2018JayBiebs\u2019 Larson gave some news mains of the Legends wanted to hear: They\u2019re coming in Season 9. However, they\u2019re worried about the community sentiment being overwhelmingly negative if they buff him too much, given the power of his abilities. \u201c[We] don\u2019t think the community reception would be very positive if we straight up buffed him without addressing some frustration surrounding his ult, but I like the idea of a greatly increased climb,\u201d Larson said, referencing a player suggestion to make Rev\u2019s wall climb infinte. They\u2019re still trying to be cautious about the buff since one step too far could make him overpowered. Plus, it\u2019s not like he\u2019s terrible: His ultimate and tactical are very strong in the right hands. The key takeaway, though, is they\u2019ve got some buffs in the works, and that\u2019s all Revenant mains needed to hear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Respawn testing Revenant buff for Apex Legends Season 9, but there\u2019s a catch Respawn EntertainmentRevenant has been in a weird place in Apex Legends for a while now, but the developers have finally confirmed they\u2019re testing some buffs, although there\u2019s one small catch: It\u2019ll likely come at the cost of his Ultimate.
