Rework Ash
An Open Letter to the Developers of Apex Legends
Dear Respawn Entertainment Team,
I’m not sure where else to share this, and I don’t know if my request will make an impact, but I want to do everything I can to ensure the game remains enjoyable for me and other Ash mains.
My concern is about the potential rework of Ash, which has been the subject of many rumors and fan discussions. A rework is usually understood as a complete overhaul or significant adjustment to a character’s abilities. There is speculation that Ash’s new abilities might incorporate elements inspired by the sword from Final Fantasy. Recently, I saw a similar mechanic for Ash on YouTube (possibly fan-made or official), and it greatly worried me.
Ash is a core legend for many players, including myself, and we don’t want this character to be diminished in any way.
I’d like to express my opinion: the current mechanic of the tactical ability “Arc Snare” is extremely important for Ash.
It allows players to:
- immobilize enemies at crucial moments,
- escape from pursuers,
- chase down targets,
- deal additional damage,
- and use it creatively in a variety of situations.
For these reasons, I kindly ask: please do not replace Ash’s tactical ability “Arc Snare.”
If changes are unavoidable, then I urge you to modernize “Arc Snare” while retaining its core mechanics.
Regarding the passive ability, the idea of modifying “Marked for Death” on death boxes seems excellent and fits well with Ash’s identity and gameplay.
Overall, I don’t see a need to change Ash. She is already a well-balanced and engaging character. The only improvement I’d suggest is to make the activation of the ultimate ability, “Phase Breach,” faster — perhaps similar to Octane’s jump pad.
This is my feedback as a dedicated Apex Legends player.
I hope my request will be taken into consideration.
Thank you for your hard work and attention!
