Why Shroud simply refuses to play Valkyrie in Apex Legends Twitch: Shroud \/ Respawn EntertainmentMichael \u2018Shroud\u2019 Grzesiek isn\u2019t a fan of Valkyrie, the newest legend to join the Apex Legends roster. He refuses to play it unless Respawn Entertainment changes the way her VTOL Jets ability functions. Apex Legends players can\u2019t get enough of Valkyrie, the high-flying legend who joined the fray in Apex Legends Season 9. But although she has plenty to offer, especially when used correctly, Shroud refuses to play her. He explained why during a recent stream, and it all comes down to two simple points. First, he doesn\u2019t believe \u201cshe\u2019s useful\u201d. And second, he doesn\u2019t like how her VTOL Jets ability works, at least in terms of key bindings. \u201cThe new character seems bad. [It] seems cool, but not very useful,\u201d he said. \u201cI haven\u2019t [played the character]. But from what I\u2019ve seen, I don\u2019t know. I just don\u2019t see a world where the meta of the characters changes.\u201d He listed some of the legends he thinks have always been the strongest, including Bloodhunter, Lifeline, Pathfinder, Wattson, and Wraith. And naturally, he doesn\u2019t see Valkyrie replacing one of them anytime soon. Still, that didn\u2019t stop him from giving her a go in the firing range. But it didn\u2019t take him long to get put off.

I don\u2019t think I\u2019m going to be able to play this character. I\u2019ve got to be able to change that, right?\u201d For those unfamiliar with his key bindings, he uses the mouse wheel to jump. It traces back to his days as a professional CSGO player, where it was necessary to perform the bunnyhop technique. However, every time he tried to bunnyhop on Valkyrie, he\u2019d fly instead. As it turned out, it was more than the Twitch star could bear. \u201cOkay, I\u2019m not playing this character. I\u2019ll tell you that right now. That\u2019s the first mistake that they overlooked. I\u2019m not playing this character. I can\u2019t do it. \u201cThere\u2019s no way in hell I\u2019m going to be able to do that successfully. I\u2019m just going to be [using the jetpack when I\u2019m] trying to [bunnyhop].\u201d The relevant part of the video starts at 0:17. Not everyone will agree with Shroud, especially those who don\u2019t have the same issue with bunnyhopping. However, based on what he\u2019s said, it\u2019s reasonable to assume we won\u2019t see him on the game\u2019s newest legend anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
