Well sound tricks your perception, also height, cam is higher on some legends and lower on some because of size of model and ofc hitbox.
Normally when you remove the gun all legends mostly feel the same, when you have the gun out the animations feel different, and I for me like this difference. The difference also invite to different playstyles and I think Respawn did a great job with this actually to invite me to play the legends differently :D
@Ac3myN1ggaNo, it's because of the hitbox,
Gibraltar is easily hit by almost every shot, medium sized legends than are like that but 10% less.
And Legends like Wraith?
Yeeeeeah, I totally like how I get beamed meanwhile I barely get to scrape their amor.
When I die to a good wraith it usually goes as like this:
My armor instantly cracked, and before I get knocked down, the only thing I am capable of is cracking their armor, that's it.
(don't forget that I could also be the one taking the shot first btw, from behind or from ambush, -same outcome)
Also the movement animations seem faster for the opposing side.
When wraith chances directions, it's felt, when Wraith ducks, it is felt.
When Gibraltar changes directions in his movement, it is sometimes so unnoticable it feels like he is literally standing still, which is what also most of them do since dodging doesn't do much horizontaly....
- @damsonwhufndthis Wraith in my opinion has the best animation in game, specially for strafing. When i use her i dont get knocked down as often as with other legends.
- @Ac3myN1gga I actually like the feel, the only problem is strafing.
Coming from Quake where movement was super fast and crisp as much as it can be (in my opinion you just don't get faster than that, even with Octain stim :D) I felt from visual perception that I am strafing a lot and very well in Apex.
Yet to my surprise in my first 1:1 training with somewhat competitive player (D4) I was just distroyed and he really just laughed about my strafing saying "what are you doing rotating around your axis"...
From my perspective I was going like crazy, from his, he said that he hadn't had easier target than this, especially when you combine strafing with bigger model of Gibby, Caustic, Path, Rev.
So the only solution where was to unlock 3rd party view mode in firing range and do the work, base my mechanics on input not visuals as you can't transfer that feel of movement from 3rd party to 1st party, only thing you can do is just do the same type of input, which is very unnatural thing to do - it almost feels like I have to drive a car same as I would drive a truck and just trust that it will work out just fine 🙂 - @DeepBeats that must be the only reason people still play her :D
@DeepBeatsany low profile Legend is just "better" there was a challange for playing lifeline 2 times in any mode, let's just say despite enyhting compared to other legends I play I felt like Neo dodging bullets, and I play sometimes Octane and use his stim in combat for gods sake and I never felt so evasive with Stimmed octane as I feel with lifeline and perhaps wraith too
- @damsonwhufndthis to be honest the only difference I feel regarding dodging:
1. Gibby and Caustic - are just elephants on the map and can be hit from 1000+ meters easily
2. Octain's stim/speed and Bloodhounds ult are the only two things that really makes a significant difference
3. all other legends feel exactly the same to me and really depends on my strafing, distance, the aim of the enemy (and their aim assists) - @Eshshshss Bangalore also has that strafe boost.
- @Cheese9Man That Bang passive is one of my favorite ones in the game! The boost is nuts. Couldn't even tell you how many times it has saved my life

You can no longer activate either firing range Easter egg.
