Cancelling heals and res 100% needed to be a thing. There is no counter to either. There needed to be a counter for both. Gibby just fast res inside a bubble how do you counter that with people covering him? You got someone 1 shot and dont know where he ran and can hear him popping a bat. There was no way to counter that. I am a firm believer there needed to be a legend or something in game that could counter res and heals and stop them in their tracks. It was the same thing over and over again. Get knocked get res get knocked get res. Lose health heal up lose health heal up some more.
While in some eyes this is not a logical thing i feel it is. There just was nothing in game to counter those 2. People complained about lifeline shield res. Would they complain about it with a legend who could fully counter it? Doubtful they would play them to destroy the annoying lifeline.
- 4 years ago@hayhor True that. Also we def needed this crap in the game
https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/pb9yed/aint_no_way_boi_this_is_getting_annoying_now/- 4 years ago@WreckingVi What's your point? That a player used their tactical ability skillfully?
This is no different from Valk sending missiles your way, Fuse tossing his Q, bloodhound searching and destroying you, revenant Qing you, or literally any player tossing an arc star or a grenade.- hayhor4 years agoHero
@LaughingSharkoHuge difference in all your comparisons: None of those work through mountains and building walls except bloodhound. All require line of sight. And bloodhounds tactical does a lot less.
- 4 years ago@hayhor This could be a good addition as a counter balance. They could make each "ping" from seer get louder the closer he is. From a long distance, it wouldn't be much, but close by it would be a distinctive ping. The sound should represent seer's location as well (only via sound, not visually). That way, Seer would have to risk something by using the passive to hunt down enemy locations.
- E9ine_AC4 years agoHero+@hayhor It gets louder the longer he is in it. So if they quick scan it wont be heard but if he hold scans and keeps doing it then it can be heard better.

The not-nerf pretty much proved that Respawn doesn't really care to admitting to mistakes, but that's not just a Seer thing, that goes back to other characters as well.
This is a money chaser first, and game second. You're going to be tempted to buy skins for characters that will inevitably be made useless for new characters, so you can buy more skins, etc. etc. Can't see it happening any other way.
There could be a base cost for the game. There could be a subscription fee. But Freemium games with loot box options are in the business of ratcheting up net money which happens casino style. To me, the lack of balance is pretty purposeful, usually the only thing holding balance in place is if your game stays popular enough to play. With Apex sitting up near the top, there just isn't that much incentive to fix mistakes or admit problems, as far as I can see.
I'm not even mad about it, but I think when you have gross examples like Seer who clearly have to be reworked and they just get a lip service 'nerf' it's time to understand the game isn't what it used to be, and it will not go back. I'm fine with it, it's just a sign that there are probably better games out there to play. Good news for Apex is there's no need to actually spend any money on it, it can be used like an old tractor while finding that better game.
Speaking of!...I got to platinum early this season so now I can play ranked as a better casual mode again. Since the scoring system is hot trash, and seer is in every team that wins, it does help to play ranked without giving a flying F. I punched the last team member of a team out last night, that made me laugh.

I respect you for addressing the macro-conversation. A lot of my personal complaints about Apex are outcomes of a gaming industry that prioritizes profits over creating a competitively fair experience. And like you said, this is a product of the “free to play micro transaction” era— because this model has proven itself to be financially lucrative.
When I bring this topic up amongst fellow gamers, I sound old and antiquated. And by no means am I trying to paint the old days of Halo and CoD multiplayer as perfect— there were plenty of flaws, but I do prefer those days and the previous “structures” more than the free to play model.
Anyway, Old Tractor Legends it is...

@E9ine_AC Do you have a time frame on that? Because I've also literally never heard an audio indicator either.
No cynicism or anything here, just genuine curiosity.
- E9ine_AC4 years agoHero+@MandatoryIDtag @hayhore appears i got them confused. It gets louder for him I for some reason thought I seen that they also could hear it. My mistake.
