Community ManagerThanks for the post Ervke!
Of the reworks and changes we've seen, Revenant stands out to me as one that continues to have discussions pop up about his old kit. It's definitely been more of a drastic change in playstyle than some others.
What I don't see as often is someone that's clearly connected to a character on the level you have here, and I really appreciate you sharing what made his old kit special to you! It's always nice to see when a hobby we all share has a personal impact and really strikes home for someone.
While you may feel like you're just looking at a reflection of what Rev used to be, you're certainly not alone (I can't begin to count how many times I killed my own death totem.... sorry team) - I still run the old stat trackers to commemorate my silence knockdowns and totem activations.
thanks for your response, EA_Mako! and i too have my Silence tracker on haha :)
my first intro to Apex was Season 2 where i used Path... i thought i was just bad at the game so i left. but as life goes and curiosity flows, i came back just in time for the Season 4 update, and you guys really did something special when you made Revenant; i truly appreciate you for him.
this may just be a dream, but if i come on one day and get hit by a silencer during a sweaty, straight out of the drop ship, battle... i think my reaction would be audible hahaha
thanks again for your response, EA_Mako.
cheers :)
i also feel a personal connection with revenant, his lowbrow, introverted personality and straightforward directives. i was egregiously disappointed with his rework, and stopped playing the game for a while. as I've been getting back into the game, i find myself mourning revenants original kit because i think he's what truly got me into the game, what made it so fun for me. i made tons of memories and friends when i was maining him, and the game feels to lack something without him. in full agreement with op, he just doesn't feel like revenant anymore. everyone misses arenas too lol
i would absolutely love to see the return of revenants assault form. even having the two legends be seperated in the game would provide a solution.
i was already at peace with the fact Revenant wasn't a fast legend -- "ah! i'm kind of slow but but i can work around it. silence quick, and be smart with the totem. let's go" -- but this "jump" skill really doesn't help. other skirmisher legends get out of situations quickly / fairly... even some assault legends have that quirk. but now, for Revenant, i have to BEG the L1 button (my PS controller setup) for a chance to escape... emphasis on Chance; forget about it if i'm in severe trouble. i feel like an easy knock / kill now, and it's actually taken a big toll on my confidence. some days i won't even play because "i don't feel like getting demolished".
i'm actually playing right now, and i'm very upset at myself because i know i'm not This Bad at the game. i remember playing timidly by lagging behind my team and not pushing plays, that i would usually be the enforce, because of how nervous i was.
Revenant isn't a nervous character, and neither was i until the re-work.
Revenant is the most bad to the bone simulacrum there is... with his original kit.
