New Players / Legend Tokens

Hi,

in our club we have about ten to twelve new Apex players. I have been playing since the month of release….Pre season one, founder badge holder…You get it, Mirage is currently my main, I feel he is rubbing off on me a bit with the inane babbling….Anyhoo

There are now so many new Legends with brilliant abilities that it will take till over level 220 to unlock them all…Longer if you get tempted by a legend outfit in the store. 

Yes the core legends are the mains. But I have mained Wraith, Octane, Path, Octane, Caustic / Octane and now Mirage. My new players ask who to unlock first….Insanely hard to advise as this dependant on play style. 

Maybe, every season (at least) a couple of Legends should be discounted to aid new players. Yes I grinded it and unlocked them as they came, but Apex has evolved.

New teams like in my club start of not having access to Mirage, Octane, Caustic, Valk, Loba, Wattson, Crypto etc. I know we all faced this, but surely we can be a bit more accommodating to encourage new teams to stick with the game?

  • @SquishyVader There is a champions edition that can be purchased that gives some of the legends and a bunch of legendary skins that are exclusive.

    It's an interesting take to be honest.

    I always thought that it would be a good idea to let players play with any legend in the firing range just so they can get a chance to see what the character is actually like, how the character feels and a brief introduction to their abilities etc.

    As you started so early on, you're probably in a similar situation to me where you have an absolute bomb amount of the 'Legend Tokens'. For me, whenever a new legend comes out I'm able to but them straight away and always have loads of them.

    Maybe, being able to gift legend tokens would be a good idea so new players who are part of a club can receive these?

    The best advice I would give your friends in your club (if you have contact with them) is to watch YT videos on the characters and also just give them your understanding of how strong that character is this season example being if they have been nerfed or buffed etc.

    Example: Don't go telling your friends to buy Horizon because she has been nerfed to hell and she is utterly useless haha!

    Hope this helps a little bit!

    @rockyboy1998 Thanks for the reply, but not really. The idea of sharing Legend Tokens could be good, I have over 450k.

    The previous comment about purchasing Legend packs at £16 a go is not an option, particularly as they are for legacy characters.

    Horizon is not that bad, better than Bloodhound mains don’t you think?

    @SquishyVader Ah, I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help!

    I guess £16 is pretty steep.

    Umm, Horizon was great last season but she has been nerfed to hell now and I really don't find her useful at all. If anything, she is an easy target to kill and when used in my team I feel she slows the operation down!

    Haha, I'll have to defend Bloodhound to be honest, I have mained him for such a long time now and he is honestly one of my favourite characters in the game!

    Which legends do you prefer?

    @rockyboy1998 Horizon is still pretty good in the right hands. Is she OP now where you can run straight into a fight and have a get out of jail card? No and that was the point of the nerf. I've played with and against lots of good horizons.
