Re: Current ALGS really showing how current meta needs to end

@Cro_Pittt Yeah nerfing seer would help.

Have you been watching? There's almost no defensive legends being used. Part of that is all the cryptos but I think it's more because of horizon seer.

    Well, there's literally more legends in play in tournies and high lvl ranked nowadays than ever before. We have E6 on Revtane, we have a Maggie team, we have Cryptos, Caustic, Wattson. The only legends I haven't seen this ALGS is the new girl, Mirage and Lifeline. Are there too many Valks and Seers? Yes. Two bs legends that need deleting immediately. But if Respawn would just curb those two, people would definitely spread out on legends way more.

    @CCbathwater There's actually less diversity in this one than the last. As I mentioned there's a serious lack of defensive legends. Newcastle isn't being played now either.

    Unfortunately the ultimate meta buster Aurora didn't get their visas approved.
  • @hayhor Yeah i'm watching (they could've improved the broadcast with some new features...), there are some Wattsons around, but Seer and Horizon combo make it so easy to push teams, and they've been in the meta for too long now (Seer ever since he got released, it's way too much time). I'd like to see Wraith and Loba back in the meta first.

    P.S. I remember when we were talking more than a year ago how Gibby was a must pick in competitive, now nobody uses him lol.

    @hayhor Well, I consider the last one "nowadays" too anyway. Back in 2021 it was way more locked, with just 5-6 legends in play across teams in a lobby. And then you had one Crypto here and one Bang there, but beyond that... nope.

    @hayhor Yes, exactly. And the changes have spread people out across more legends. Watching a tourney now is way more fun than it was back in 2020 and 2021. Don't wanna brown nose JayBiebs, but to me the shift kinda started after he replaced DZK. But as I said, curb Valk and Seer, and it would be even better.

    Also, if I could add, the B vs. D matches... insane. Great example of how much action you can have for a full 20 minutes if people would play BR more as a BR. Instead of having uncontrollable lotto action for a few minutes and then spend 10 minutes searching for the remaining 4 squads.
  • How's dem Twitch ratings, Respawn?

    Lel.

    I stop by mostly to see if we're hearing anything about season 16 yet, but I've played Overwatch for the past several weeks, mainly. It, by the way, is also a bad game, falling in Twitch ratings but it's at least different.  Even the good parts of Apex hasn't gotten me back because they are too slow to fix bad mistakes.  As in IF they fix them.

    You know, it would help if they not only paid attention to their bad meta, but their obvious problems.  I mean, that is if they care.  Could be they resigned themselves to their formula at this point and milking what they can.

    @hayhor I have to admit, I went “dammmmn” when Zane pop’d off. Otherwise it’s been kinda boring.

    @Gabrielmojo26 Yeah that was pretty nuts. Good for him. He has a bit of a bad rep based on one weird clip.

    The meta is what I'm finding that is making it boring. It's like I said above. Team takes height, horizon team arrives and pushes and nonstop 3rding starts.
