ALG picks and why Apex is becoming boring because of it

I have been watching a lot of ALGS and I notice there is on trend. It’s the same 6 characters on every team. Gibby Valk ash bloodhound wraith and horizon. You will sometimes see a caustic or a lob...

Gibralter is the perfect example of how difficult it must be to approach balance in a game like this. Close to 100% pick rate in competitive, yet endless cries for a buff from the lower tiers of play.

@pandareno1999 Nailed it. Apex isn't one game. It's two and which one you're playing depends on whether you're a top 5% player or whether you're a normal human being. Grindy aimbotters can have their game, whichever meta they choose. The game I play has absolutely nothing to do with what ALGS does, and while I complain endlessly about legend imbalances, I'm sure my balance ideas would be laughed at by the most competitive players.

@pandareno1999 That's weird because from what I've seen, most of the playerbase in the lower tiers want him nerfed, specifically his gun-shield and/or passive.

@pandareno1999 Who is asking for a gibby buff? Even in pubs and low levels he is really strong......just no one plays him because he isn't movement based
