Shroud explains how new Legend Wattson will change Apex Legends meta Respawn Entertainment finally confirmed that Wattson would be the tenth legend added to Apex Legends, and Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek feels her introduction could seriously shake up the game\u2019s current meta. Revealed at EA Play on June 8 after weeks of speculation, the new legend was confirmed to be added in Season 2, alongside an eagerly anticipated ranked mode which will allow players to compete against the best of the best, and a much-improved battle pass. Wattson was confirmed to be an electricity-based legend who primarily uses defensive tactics to gain the upper hand on her enemy \u2013 her abilities enable her to defend a certain area, making her ideal for players who aren\u2019t aggressive. Shroud watched the announcement live with his viewers and responded to claims from his chat that the new legend seemed overpowered. The former CS:GO pro disagreed with his viewers\u2019 assertions, stating that he felt Respawn had done a good job of balancing the latest addition, but admitted it may favor campers. \u201cShe\u2019s not OP,\u201d he said. \u201cShe\u2019s balanced very well. Unfortunately, if you\u2019re a camper, you\u2019re going to love it. But if you\u2019re aggressive, you\u2019re going to hate the campers.\u201d Her defensive abilities make her ideal for bunkering down in an area and shroud \u2013 who is known for his run and gun approach \u2013 feels her skills could make aggressive players change the way they play. The Canadian added: \u201cIf you\u2019re a defensive player, she\u2019s going to be great and you\u2019ll probably love her. \u201cBut if you\u2019re aggressive, she\u2019s not going be that good for you.\u201d Players will have to wait just over a month to test out Wattson\u2019s strengths for themselves with Season 2 confirmed to be released on July 2. Whether her excellent defensive abilities results in a swift meta change to a more conservative approach remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
