Legend skins offer a way to customize and make your own mark in Kings Canyon. Do you think it would be difficult to recognize what abilities the other player has if you weren't able to distinguish which Legend they were playing as?
Is there specific customization you're hoping to see added in future updates that you'd like to share with us? @MSPonsoni To add on to @EA_Blueberrys point, it also allows for strategic callouts during the game, like when you see a Wraith or Bangalore, you clearly can tell what the character is by how they look and you can call them out to your team so they know what kind of battle they might be running into, but with character customization you can't do that.
Realize the ability the other players have (and vice versa) isn't a good thing because it neutralise the ability we have to take the enemy by surprise (for example, if I see someone playing as Mirage, I know that a hologram of him will appear soon and that's one of the motives players often rank him as one of the worst legends) We know the trick will be used against us.
And going to the point: fighting against "clones" of the Legends we are playing with is still a problem to players (like me) that want at least a little imersion, something the game simple lacks of, due to things like this. I know It sounds like I am being exagereting about this but if you think about it this is one of those details that make people realy like the game and expand the number of players further.
- @Subtle_Tactics Classes or a "specific gear = ability" solution would solve this (other games did that). Otherwise it will still be a game about you fighting against a bunch of clones. And, being honest, several friends of mine refused to even try the game because of this. It just doesn't convince. Besides, a game really have to sacrifice 100% of it's own reality's consistency to be playable?
@MSPonsoniSo your friends will not touch this game because you are fighting against a Bangalore as a Bangalore? That is one of the worst reasons not to play this game if I ever heard. I would assume cheating on PC or lag on console would be the deal breakers. You can still attack your enemies by surprise just don't get spotted and it is EZPZ.
- @MSPonsoni this isn't other games. This is Apex Legends by Respawn. If you enjoyed the other games play those. They give us skins and let us pick voice lines and customize banners already, that's way more than other games.
I too wish for a Caustic x Bloodhound custom legend in which I am the ultimate defence and offence and nobody can ever stop me as I choke slam every soul to come within a 10 meter radius of me.
- @Subtle_Tactics I see that as a good reason, actually. I was not willing to download and play this game either because of things like that. I just took a try to play with my cousin but it's hard to take the game seriously.
- @iBlockHead That's a good advice actually.
Caustic variables and bloodhound ult.
Pathfinder grapple and wraith portal.
Gibraltar dome and caustic gas.
A whole team with wraith's phase
A whole team with path's grapple
A whole team stacking lifeline drones
A whole team as ANYONE.
^ More reasons than you should need to get to the conclusion that this is a bad idea that took no time to rattle off.
Preconfigured abilities organised by character means that they can be balanced well. Possible permutations and team configs can be better predicted and balanced so we avoid a total meta across the entire game where there really only is 1 viable make-up.
