Aydan, like many Warzone stars recently, has been struggling with the Call of Duty battle royale and its controversial Pacific changes, not least of all the Caldera map. For the 22-year-old Twitch streamer, Warzone is reaching a point of no return. During Caldera\u2019s long-hyped \u2014 and rather lackluster \u2014 launch, Aydan declared he may \u201cquit Warzone entirely\u201d over the tropical changes, and now he\u2019s delivered on that threat, swapping over to archrival franchise Apex Legends. When leaving, he dropped a huge Warzone vow too. \u201cToday is the first day I\u2019m not playing Warzone,\u201d he declared. \u201cGonna be tough and hurts the feels, but that game sucks. [It] needs changing before I hop on again.\u201d Today is the first day I am not going to play Warzone. Gonna be tough for sure and hurts the feels, but that game sucks and needs some changing before I hop on again. Silver 1 in Apex, goal is to hit Platinum tonight! \ud83d\ude06 \u2014 Aydan (@aydan) December 29, 2021 The Twitch star has been toying with the idea of ditching Warzone for Apex Legends for weeks now, motivated partially by the CoD battle royale\u2019s sorry state, and the success fellow star NICKMERCS has found with a similar move. Aydan said he was \u201closing his passion for Warzone and Call of Duty,\u201d and after trying Apex Legends declared it was \u201crefreshing as f**k\u201d compared to its rivals. Despite that, he\u2019s not entirely sold just yet either. \u201cI\u2019m not in love with Apex yet, I can say that,\u201d the Warzone star explained while playing the Respawn battle royale in his December 29 stream. \u201c[The problem is] I can\u2019t play it for eight hours straight yet. I can only play like three or four hours at a time, [but] I just love the ranked mode so much. \u201cIf there was no ranked mode, I wouldn\u2019t play this game,\u201d he added, \u201cbut the Apex Legends ranked mode is just so good. Having something to work towards is key.\u201d Apex Legends isn\u2019t the first rival battle royale to catch Aydan\u2019s eye as he looks for a \u201crefreshing\u201d game to play instead of Warzone heading into 2022 either. The 22-year-old dropped back in old flame Fortnite before Christmas, declaring he was \u201cembarrassed to be a Call of Duty player\u201d right now. He has suggested several times he will be playing pro leagues in the Epic Games title soon too, with the next Cash Cup running on January 10. And Aydan made it clear that, even if Apex or Fortnite win his heart, he won\u2019t rule out a Warzone return either: \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m gonna, not yet, but we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aydan makes huge Warzone vow after ditching CoD battle royale for Apex Legends Twitch: Aydan \/ Raven Software \/ Respawn EntertainmentStar Warzone streamer Aydan Conrad has vowed to leave the popular Call of Duty battle royale behind until \u201csomething changes,\u201d ditching the game he\u2019s earned more than $300k in to join the growing Apex Legends [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22712"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22712\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
