Shroud criticizes \u201clame\u201d buffs and nerfs in Apex Legends update Shroud (Mixer)\/EAMixer star, Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek, has weighed in on Apex Legends\u2019 Grand Soir\u00e9e update and gave his two cents on the Gibraltar buff which Respawn introduced on January 14. Shroud has planted his flag when it comes to Apex Legends\u2019 Grand Soir\u00e9e event: third-person LTM or bust. He made his stance clear, when discussing Respawn\u2019s latest event on stream. While Grzesiek only seemed to be enticed by the prospect of third-person action in Apex Legends, he did also provide a somewhat cut-throat insight into the meta changes which have materialized off the back of the Grand Soir\u00e9e update. Despite previously being partnered with EA during the opening months of Apex Legends, shroud has recently stepped away from the battle royale and invested most of his time into Escape from Tarkov. During his January 18 stream, shroud decided to dabble in the third-person mode. When catching up on the recent changes, pro player, Timothy \u2018sYnceDez\u2019 Putrow, provided a brief overview. \u201cSo they did release some buffs and nerfs, but they\u2019re just not good buffs and nerfs?\u201d shroud questioned. Putrow proceeded to explain that Gibraltar\u2019s revive speed has been increased from the standard five seconds for most characters, to around two seconds while inside his Dome of Protection. Grzesiek spared no silence and cut right to the chase. \u201cGibraltar is a much, much better Lifeline because you can fast-heal your whole team\u2026 \u201cAnd now you can quick res, in safety \u2013 in full safety \u2013 not just a front cone, full safety. So yeah, that totally eliminates Lifeline. That\u2019s pretty lame.\u201d Putrow then summarized Gibby\u2019s current Passive Abilities after the update. The Legend can now both fast heal and fast revive inside of their dome, while also rocking a face shield during gunfights. Given Gibraltar\u2019s newfound ability buff, shroud labeled Respawn\u2019s actions as a \u201cbad change,\u201d before stating: \u201cI don\u2019t think they need to try to make a character that nobody really uses much better, they could just try to make something new instead.\u201d The Mixer star empathized with the difficult position that Respawn are in, however, by adding that his solution would require \u201cmore development time,\u201d which would eat into the developer\u2019s resources and time. Despite shroud\u2019s views, he continued to try his hand at the third-person mode. Perhaps Grzesiek will venture into the Apex Games on a more permanent basis when Season 4 launches on February 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
