Respawn confirm Seer nerfs after new Apex legend dominates Season 10 meta Respawn EntertainmentSeer has taken Apex Legends Season 10 by storm. The newest Legend to drop into the Apex Games is maybe a bit too strong though, having dominated the meta since his launch. Respawn are going to tone that back with some urgent nerfs. Seer didn\u2019t take long to turn the Apex Legends meta on its head. The newly-released Recon Legend has basically overtaken the game \u2014 and not just because he\u2019s the new guy. His best-in-class intel gathering has rocketed him up the tier list in the eyes of pros and casuals alike. Why would you play Bloodhound or Crypto when Seer exists? That\u2019s been the overarching question over Season 10\u2019s launch, and it\u2019s one Respawn is ready to answer. Travis Nordin, the designer behind Seer, admitted the Legend has launched with more power than intended in Apex Legends. So, they\u2019re giving him a tune-up in an \u201cupcoming patch\u201d in potentially days, not weeks until the mid-season update. \u201cSeer has launched strong, which was the hope. He\u2019s also brought a lot of new gameplay elements to the game (HP bars, interrupt), which has driven a lot of discussion with players, which is great to see,\u201d Nordin said during an August 6 Reddit AMA. \u201cWith that being said [he] is probably a bit too strong at the moment and will receive some balance updates in an upcoming patch.\u201d While Respawn intended for Seer to be good, they didn\u2019t want him to be broken. They wanted him to be a long-term pick, not just one \u201cwhere they were picked a lot in the first week and then they fall into obscurity.\u201d Seer is \u201cprobably a bit strong at the moment and will [be] receiving some balance updates in an upcoming patch.\u201d \u2013 Seer\u2019s gameplay engineer. pic.twitter.com\/ypNVX3o1Z1 \u2014 Apex Legends News (@alphaINTEL) August 6, 2021 Players shouldn\u2019t expect \u201cfundamental changes\u201d to Seer\u2019s kit. However, unnecessary power like the flashbang on his tactical will be removed. \u201cI will say that the flash on hit ended up being way more than intended and we will be removing that aspect entirely from the ability,\u201d Nordin said. Respawn are also planning on adjusting the readability of Seer\u2019s kit so you can clearly distinguish your ally\u2019s abilities from the 19 other Seers on the map. \u201cWe were aiming to differentiate the enemy\/allied Seer abilities with the addition of the red tinting applied to the VFX. I know readability has come up a few times with the VFX for Seer, and we\u2019re going to be taking a look at them to see what can be done to help with that,\u201d he added. We will keep you updated with the full list of Seer changes when they are pushed live in Apex Legends Season 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
