Alter, horribly imbalanced

It's a release of a new Legend like this that leads us to believe you guys don't play test anything before you release it. Her tactical ability completely negates any and all hard cover. How did you think this was balanced? Not only can she use her rift to travel through hard walls and surfaces, but her friendlies can also use it. A whole squad just funneling through a wall to rush you while you heal, how is that fair?

AND THEN, if that wasn't enough to get players angry, you allowed her tactical ability to be used by enemy players. In an earlier match, an Alter placed her rift on the ceiling of the floor below me and it teleported me without prompt or warning through the floor and into the waiting crosshairs of the Alter. Maggie was already a game changer when it came to negating cover but then you clowns take one giant leap into breaking the concept of cover and allow this Legend to be the imbalanced love child between Wraith and Maggie.

Whoever decided this Legend was balanced needs to be suspended without pay.

NERF IMMEDIATELY, or better yet, refund anybody that bought her and just delete the character entirely. Having a Legend that negates cover this bad and can use it to BM players on floors above or below you is INSANE.

  • He'll no excuse my language  but alter is one of those chapters that will grt bugged but it the same with every character they will fix it to still be op but leave all the wall telportions but the guy is right for the warning but let the man whk made alter keep his job but alter is just a badass skin so that all I have to say 

  • @TheInlander I said this before, this game is less and less about a shooter. Its to the point where we should be asking "why are there guns in this game?"
    This has for quite some time since the OG dev team left, a battle of abilities and reveal meta.
    I remember when the ole devs used to do all the videos and said out right, the abilities of legends were not supposed to be the game. They were to make the game interesting but to remember the game is a shooter. The abilities for the legends created in the beginning were really balanced well. Passives were not supposed to determine the outcome of a fire fight, rather to aid slightly. NOW - you have passives that are far better than others ULT abilities.
    Look at the * show of what this game has become, as opposed to the words of the OG Devs when it comes to what Apex was intended to be.
