I created an... unusual trend in apex (banner trend, empty banner trend, ect-)

Hi, I'm Saal (Saal3581 on Xbox), or you may know me as DiligentCadet15 if you ever caught me in a lobby. Also, you may have caught me running Bangalore without anything on my banner, not even a level. That's cuz I removed it... on purpose. You see, I believe I may have been the first one to create such a trend, or even start it up in the first place. The trend of emptying your banner (I call the people The Bannerless). I may have even ran Bloodhound or Caustic without one. Eventually, all the legends which I played had no banner. I started this in early season two, yes, the old map. Now, you may ask, how did I attempt to advertise such a ridiculous trend? The trick is to get champion squad 😉

Now then, why would one rid themselves of their stats on their banner, you may ask? Let me answer for I hope the majority of people who follow this.

Imagine such, you load up apex, hop into a lobby, your day is just fine until you get to where it says who's champion squad-

The entire squad is bannerless.

And it makes you wonder, who am I going to against? Are they good, are they hacking, do I avoid them? 

The point of this trend, (at the time) was to invoke suspicious feelings out of the entire lobby. (In theory) 

Or maybe it was to present your banner to be aesthetically beautiful, invoke a sort of feel-good sensation to the viewer.

Or maybe it's just to look cool? Beats me. But I hope I summarized what I meant by this trend. 

Oh, but sAAL, how do we know you're not lYING? hMmmm?

I don't really care, I just hope that you have an open mind.

ok bai

  • Well if you are like me, you do not worry about who the champion squad is so all of this nonsense is pointless.

  • @SaalWatt If you’re like me, you believe that you did not start this trend cause I already saw ppl doing it in season 1 if I’m correct.

    If you did start the trend, good for you.

    Like @hayhor said, I really dont care about the champion squad... unless they are at 20K kills all and I’m running a pair of baby bottom wiped pansies who are below lvl 60...
  • @SaalWattEhh,, been doing this with legends I don't like using since S1. Don't have any good badges to show off or trackers so might as well have them think I'm new.

    I do also always leave my trackers empty for all legends, since I don't enjoy sharing my poopy stats / only legend with a Tracker is Rev, "Pistol kills: 35"

    Gotta show the ladies I'm quick with my fingers, ah wink wink 😉 (pls dnt ban me)

  • I would prefer to see badges so I can evaluate what kind of player someone is and how I can fit with their playstyle.

    If you got 20kill/4k damage lets contest a team on drop and w key most fights but less than 100kills or below level 100 I'll play safe and advise to only take fights to our advantage.

    @iBlockHeadWarning incoming.. 😉

    @iBlockHeadXD as long as I like your comment you won’t get banned. I have that kind of influence 😈 :P

    @apostolateofDOOM you’re a teamplayer. I dont care which badges I see. I’ll still pick a spot where it’ll test anyone, no matter the badge; Mirage Voyage :P if we’re coming from the other way... I dont care where we land

  • You're the first to claim, yet many people already did it either before you and/or at the same time.
