The battle royale war has been raging on unbridled for some time now on Twitch and YouTube, with hosts of star streamers choosing one title over another. In the past month or so, it looked like Apex Legends had become the clear favorite. Epic\u2019s Fortnite had drifted to a clear third place in the three-way contest. Its fall has mainly been off the back of smaller events and updates. Warzone, on the other hand, had gone down in flames in August, sparked by waves of cheaters and bugs. With Fortnite and Warzone beginning to fall out of favor, stars like Dr Disrespect, NICKMERCS, CouRage, and Tfue all began regularly dropping onto Kings Canyon, Olympus, and World\u2019s Edge, leaving Verdansk behind. Betar has shirked that trend, however, and returned to Warzone. The reason, he told Dr Disrespect during one of their recent YouTube duo streams, was because he\u2019s tired of the Respawn battle royale and its slow gameplay. The pair were talking battle royales \u2014 mainly Apex Legends and its Call of Duty arch-rival \u2014 when TimTheTatman admitted he \u201cactually enjoys playing Warzone\u201d more. Dr Disrespect couldn\u2019t believe his ears, especially considering he\u2019s been a staunch voice against Raven Software\u2019s flagship battle royale in the past few weeks, and suggest Timmy stay on the Apex Legends hype train for now. TimTheTatman had a simple response to that: \u201cNo.\u201d The new YouTuber went on to explain his shock choice too. He has issues that run right through the core of the game, he said. They include problems with its ranked systems, gunplay, and how \u201crat\u201d gameplay dominates the competitive scene. \u201cI\u2019m just not playing Apex,\u201d he said on September 14. \u201cI\u2019m just not doing it.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t want to get two KP, rotate, go to the little beacon, find where the last circle is, wait until the last two teams fight. Then all of a sudden you have to start fighting. I said [to the two-time], no. \u2018Nomegalul\u2019, if you will. \u201cI don\u2019t get the Doc. He\u2019s all about violence, speed, momentum. Apex is get a kill, then just focus on rotating. There\u2019s no violence, speed. There\u2019s no momentum!\u201d \ud83d\udd25 @timthetatman with a hot take on why he won\u2019t play #ApexLegends pic.twitter.com\/WtVeTUKC6U \u2014 Dexerto (@Dexerto) September 13, 2021 Timmy\u2019s relatively short interest in Apex Legends and its competitive scene would come as no real surprise for fans of the Twitch star turned YouTuber either. Back in May, the streamer declared Apex was \u201cboring.\u201d In fact, he went so far as to say he\u2019d rather play Warzone or Fortnite in any given stream, citing gunplay, time-to-kill, and the way Respawn\u2019s battle royale approaches defensive armor as reasons he\u2019s been turned away. \u201cI\u2019m just going to flat out tell you; I don\u2019t personally enjoy Apex Legends that much,\u201d he admitted during a battle royale ranking video on May 28. \u201cOne thing is the time-to-kill [TTK]: the time-to-kill is very high. Obviously I like playing Warzone, so I\u2019m very used to Warzone [but] I\u2019m just not a fan of the gunplay. On top of that, Betar isn\u2019t a fan of Apex\u2019s armor system: \u201cI don\u2019t like it. I can rip your gold armor, then you swap it out, and you\u2019re full again. I don\u2019t enjoy that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TimTheTatman explains why he refuses to play Apex Legends anymore YouTube: TimTheTatMan \/ Respawn EntertainmentTimothy \u2018TimTheTatman\u2019 Betar has declared he has \u2018no interest\u2019 in grinding Apex Legends anymore and will be sticking with Warzone for the foreseeable future, with the battle royale\u2019s \u201cslow\u201d gameplay a big reason behind his Call of Duty comeback.
