Seer is not OP
I know there’s soooooo much going around saying Seer is OP, but in reality, I think it’s just a lot of frustration and negative “honeymoon” energy from a new powerful character being thrown into the ...
@RECON-DRIZZAt their core, games represent multiple parties attempting to control information in a balance of power and opportunity.
Seer completely rewrites the Apex balance. It doesn't matter whether or not he's fun.
He represents an information high-ground that invalidates a whole class of stealth strategies, giving squads definitive control over local engagements. Seer's abilities marginalize players' hard-earned game-sense, and break a few core tenets of gameplay.
Counter to Seer's ult? Move slower... wait, Apex is a movement game, you just died.
Counter to Seer's tactical? Stop healing and move... wait, you just left cover and died fast.
Counter to Seer's passive? Nope, there ain't one. He can "see" you through solid rock, walls, whatever, and you don't get any clue the enemy is wrapping for a flank.
If Seer isn't broken, then Apex legends play is being radically rewritten, and that's going to divide players and turn many away.
