NICKMERCS urges Warzone streamers to leave for Apex Legends after Caldera flop Twitch: Nickmercs \/ Raven Software \/ Respawn EntertainmentNicholas \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff is beating the Warzone defection drum again, urging top streamers like TimTheTatman, Aydan, and more to permanently quit Call of Duty\u2019s battle royale for his title of choice, Apex Legends. Former Warzone star NICKMERCS has firmly planted his Apex Legends flag after major disappointment over the Call of Duty battle royale\u2019s new Caldera map. The popular Twitch streamer was unquestionably Warzone\u2019s biggest star from its 2020 release to his shock defection in August, but has barely touched the CoD battle royale since. Now he\u2019s calling for other top stars to follow his lead more permanently, suggesting Apex Legends as the \u201cbest new option.\u201d According to Kolcheff, the Call of Duty franchise title has had \u201clong enough\u201d to claim gaming\u2019s top spot, and instead fumbled the bag. With the game sliding, now is the perfect time to pick up a new game. \u201cWarzone streamers just have to switch,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery time there\u2019s an update they get hype, say it\u2019s fire, then days later they\u2019re roasting it for everything. They just need to leave, things won\u2019t change.\u201d It\u2019s a cycle, the Twitch star explained, that he\u2019s watched every year since Call of Duty began leaning into calendar releases. The hype hits boiling point before the new game, everyone buys into hype, and then they realize what kind of \u201clazy\u201d update they\u2019ve actually been given. \u201cI\u2019ve seen this so many times, every year,\u201d NICKMERCS said. \u201cEvery year these Call of Duty stars sit there telling us it\u2019s going to be the best CoD ever, that ever existed.\u201d \u201cEvery year! They say, \u2018Wait till you see what they have in store, it\u2019s so fire!\u2019 and then they, during the first few days, they\u2019re losing their minds. And then it changes. Four days go by and they\u2019re like, \u2018This game is trash, what the f**k,\u2019 and just start begging for changes, calling everything broken. \u201cThey start questioning why they keep playing,\u201d he added. \u201cI\u2019m telling you, do that. Stop buying things. Stop playing that game. Just come play Apex Legends.\u201d NICKMERCS has made it no secret he rates Apex Legends far higher than Warzone these days, often grinding the Respawn battle royale upwards of eight to ten hours a day in his quest to go pro in the game. Apart from one short Warzone stream back in early December, the Twitch star has barely touched the game in months. Even on the eve of Caldera\u2019s huge release, NICKMERCS warned he wouldn\u2019t change his mind on the title, which he claims is just a second-rate rival to Apex Legends after its failures. \u201cThe best battle royale out there right now is Apex Legends,\u201d the star claimed recently. \u201cHaving that successful ranked mode to grind makes such a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
