How many more characters will there be? (Apex Season 20)

New characters come every season. How many more characters will there be? It is very easy to add characters when there is so much to develop in the game's interfaces. We can't even choose the map to play. Team matchmaking works very poorly. Legend Tokens are just garbage. The servers are problematic. While there are many more problems, adding characters continues.

soon the character selection screen will look like this.

    I agree about many of the games problems lasting far, far longer than they've had any right to but the new characters are the least of my complaints.

    Back in the day Riot would release a LoL character (aka a new vessel for skins) every week or two. They were changing the game far quicker than they could balance it, but the drones would still treat the patch notes like holy scripture.

    It's easy to forget how bad it COULD have been, or how much better it might get in the ridiculously distant future.

    @l_mRGogo i hope they start to add in things like chocobo that you can ride instead of just heroes. and you can put skins on your chocobo and they can dance etc.

    Definitely better than adding characters. but if you want chocobo maybe you should play final fantasy? 🙂

    @l_mRGogo Theyve set the stage that every new season means a new legend and new legends sell cosmetics so I would not expect the new legend additions to stop.

    @l_mRGogo

    play final fantasy instead r u serious. lol.

    a old man like me does nothing they don't have too and would rather be amused at what happens where i am. i will never go out of my way to exercise what should be done when what im doing is perfectly acceptable.

    a young man or woman such as yourself probably does not grasp the level of lol a old person has at what they see in the world and is happy to just lol.

    im no hero.

    @l_mRGogo I am also curious as to how they will handle the legend count. At a certain point, added variety becomes moot. Also, as you said, maybe work on some of the game issues? They could take a season off, and just focus on balancing and stability. Then come back big with a new legend the following season. Even doing that though, at a certain point, would they just "vault" older legends that have low pick rate? Not sure how they will address is in the long run.

    @l_mRGogo If they keep this up, it will be inevitable that some of the legends will not be balanced and just left to rot since they're underpowered. Same goes with other games with dozens of characters to choose from like DOTA and LoL.

    @cooperal1012 @Cheese9Man @dSKyNafinchin 

    I think what you said is very true. I opened this thread because I agree. There are many improvements that can be made instead of adding new Characters. It would be much better if they dealt with these problems instead of adding new characters for at least 1 season. Maybe they should pay attention to what is written on the forum.

    @l_mRGogoI think it would be cool for them to combine some points, and do somewhat of a throwback season. Not sure if that would be the best term for it.

    I would love it if they took a break for a season, as mentioned, but also lump in the "past BP available?" situation, and maybe do a season that doesn't have a new map or legend, or even BP. They could do without a "new" BP for the season, and offer players the option to purchase 1 previous season's BP (of their choice), and allow them to progress through that one during the season. They would make plenty of money doing this, so it would fit into the "need money" scenario for a big company.

    I agree with you on the legend selection screen, 100%! It already seems really crowded compared to launch. Variety is awesome, but some of the legends will inevitably be left behind. I'm not sure they could get away with "vaulting" legends, considering people have spent cash on skins. Not sure how they would even begin to approach that issue. Although, I feel like I saw something recently, talking about Respawn adding Arena-specific legends in the future? It could have been a dream or something, but it sounds familiar. Maybe that will help declutter the selection screen, to an extent.
