Seer is overpowered
After playing many rounds I think that the Seer disturbs the gameplay and is definitely broken. Problem 1: Everyone sees everyone. Hackers do the exact same thing. There is simply no fun in it when...

So true, the passive is crazy strong. Just run around ADS, nope no one here, move do it again.
@Masterfulpeon
oh, wow, that's crazy.
Come on Travis really - "With that being said is probably a bit too strong at the moment" - Probably?
You guys are video game developers, meaning you most likely are video game enthusiasts and people who grew up playing video games your whole lives to pick a career in video game development / design. As most or almost all video gamers know, that the most frustrating part of online multiplayer gaming is Hackers and their Hacks. It plagues the industry and is an absolute cancer. Now - There are a few disturbing issues here, which I can't decide which is most disturbing...you decide.
One - That you the Devs, who I am assuming hate hacks and hackers themselves - actually created a character that can do the very thing that destroys the online gaming industry. Mind boggling!
Two - Your employers hire and have on their payroll individuals that work to prevent and stop the very thing you now created in Seer. Why do you pay employees to work at stopping hackers then pay others to create characters that can hack? - Yes Seer hacks. I would love to hear your explanation between wall hacks and Seer's passive/tac. Please, enlighten me. Logical wisdom only please.
Three - Was there not a single Respawn employee that while creating, building this character and the entire season 10 around him or even just on the sideline watching not voice - "Umm, do you think it is right to build a character with abilities identical to wall hacks?
Seriously, did any one of the video game developers even think for a second that as angry as hacks make gamers, that this might not be a good idea. Come on, really? You guys made a character that can wall hack or UAV hack 24/7 by the touch of one button at any given time. I am completely dumb founded. A 10 year old kid could have figured that out the minute the idea was created in mind and voiced for the first time. How are game developers not able to think rationally in regards to a character that can cheat!?
Also, did you guys test the character in game? Have you seen what happens when 4 Seers are all battling in the same area?? I have.... the visual aspect of the game is disgusting to say the least! 4 or more seers all using their tacs and ults at the same time. I didn't even think I was playing the same game - cant see anything but blips, lights and visual garbage exploded on screen. It was sickening. Cant even see what I am aiming at, or can tell which one is friendly or foe, and forget about sound at that point. Did none of you notice that? How can something that impactful be overlooked?
Yous have stated that Apex is a shooter first and foremost in the past, the direction yous seem to be going with Apex is nowhere I wish to go from here. The fact that Respawn devs are now telling us that legends that can hack is ok - has made my faith in Respawn to create and develop and build a fun and fair gaming experience diminish completely.
