Organization legend skins
Apex should design skin associated with organizations. Take TSM for example, they have quite a large fan base and I am sure that there is a huge profit to be made by designing skins for organizations...

@Cody243243243 Sorry but i have to disagree. Its not healthy for a game to have the professional aspect shoved into the game down everyone elses throat. I can tell from Siege and Overwatch that it won't end well. You give pro players an unneccesary amount of leverage on the Devs and community which will result in changes most people don't want (also applies to streamers should they decide to partner them more closely).
Professional players only care about the community in so far as they watch and support the league rather than still enjoy the game by themselves. The typical results are but not limited to: Stale metas because they don't feel like adapting, game balance done to their liking to create metas which may not suitable for the majority of the playerbase and an increase of insufferable clowns that break and bend the rules however they like. Hell in OW its nowadays a practice to witch hunt and dox people with an impressionable child army just because of an opinion on social media, Blizzard of course being completely cool with it.

@BigBlackCausticAh I agree with these statements. I don't really give "pro gamers" my backing with "their" complaints... I mean, we all are valued players- and our voices should be heard just as much as theirs. I see complaints made from "pro's" but I'm thinking... "Who, of everyone playing this game, have a full-time job gaming?" League of Legends has such a high skill ceiling that they have to constantly change the meta and make adjustments because there's so many "pro's" and casual gamers playing the same game. At least in Apex Legends, I can still compete with those skilled sharpshooters -but just in different ways; And without getting destroyed by a "20-hit combo" so-to-speak.
(I got off on a tangent sorry...)
@StarMystroIm not saying they shouldn't be valued or even disrespected. And data from pro leagues are definitely a good point to consider when it comes to balance changes.
I'm saying that if the support by devs/publisher goes a little to far then the leverage could be used in ways that ultimatily harms both the community and the game itself. No one wants a game thats more fun to watch in pro leagues than it is to actually play like OW, not to mention Jeff, in his almighty wisdom assumed that every streamer and OWL pro is automatically so holy and righteous that Jesus isn't even any competition and allows them to do literally whatever they want including doxxing and harrassment (just don't have any political opinion that would make China label you as an undesirable and you'll be fine).- @BigBlackCaustic Lol I see your point. A good 'balance' without tipping too far in the favor of few.
- @StarMystro Balance is the key word, its EXTREMELY hard to balance legends and items/weapons in ways not only to make each one unique and functional for their purpose, but also have everyone, the new, the pro and average in mind.
I could also of course go on a massive rant about BHVR and DBD who took the opposite extreme to balancing and did not release a single update since 2018 that was not aimed to decrease the skill requirements and ceiling for the game in all aspects, they aim their balance exclusively for new players which caused the overall game (and huge part of its community) to be braindead, even compared to a button masher mobile game. There are only 2 Killers left that take any skill left to play and defeat, Trapper and the Hag, and the latter is very likely the next one to get lobotomized.
IMO, despite some disagreements with Respawn i have to say compared to all Ubisoft studios, Blizzard, BHVR, Riot games etc. Respawn really does manage to walk that line and does overall, in the big picture, an amazing job all things considered.
@Cody243243243
As long as they don't get to run anything relating to Apex i'd be fine with it. I would personally never buy any of them but also not ruin it for those who do. I just fear that it could go the way of Siege and OW, thats all.
