Respawn ask players for feedback on Apex Legends weapon & legend balance
EA/RespawnRespawn Entertainment developers have asked Apex Legends players for their feedback on any weapon or legend changes they would like to see implemented in the game.
As Season 4 is now underway, players have been reacting to many of the new changes that came with it.
There were balancing changes in the game’s latest update, on top of alterations to the World’s Edge map and the introduction of a brand new character, Revenant, which players have been enjoying.
EA/RespawnAlthough the update brought some fresh content to the Apex Legends servers, there are still some changes that many players have been hoping for and developers at Respawn have called on fans to share their feedback.
Respawn lead game designer, Carlos Pineda, asked players to contribute their feedback on the current state of the characters in-game and to decide on which legends need a buff and why.
The Apex Legends developer has received a massive number of responses so far with many fans calling for buffs to some of the fan-favorites such as Mirage and Lifeline.
Trying something new! Let's talk about #ApexLegends legend meta! Curious to hear who you feel needs a buff/nerf…
RULES FIRST:
– SaySimilarly to Pineda, Apex Legends weapon designer, David Bocek, also called for fans to get involved, asking them for feedback on any future changes they think would be needed for the game’s guns.
“Let’s talk about Apex Legends weapons! I’d love to hear your thoughts on recent weapon changes and overall weapon meta!” he expressed.
Doing a counterpart to @pinedsman's thread!
Let's talk about #ApexLegends weapons! I'd love to hear your thoughts on recent weapon changes and overall weapon meta! THE BEST FEEDBACK IS DESCRIBING HOW THE GAME MAKES YOU FEEL! Telling me exactly the fix you want is not as helpful.

The tweets garnered responses from many of the game’s top personalities and pro players, who each shared their own ideas about what they would like to see in Apex Legends.
a lot of chars need buffs to make em baseline viable in comp, but most importantly:
Lifeline
BangaloreNerf Wattson and Gibraltar

Lifeline needs a buff because with gibraltar's recent changes, her passive isnt nearly as good as gibraltar's and her healing drone hardly does anything, not to mention the sound it makes when healing people is very loud and can get you killed. Her ult is too rng as well

There are so many 'fun' characters in the game that end up not being fun at all because they are so terrible.
Octane, Bloodhound, Mirage… etc
They can all use changes or buffs that don't necessary make them meta but just more competitive

Many players seemed to agree that Gibraltar could do with a nerf after some of the recent changes to his abilities.
Although the developers asked fans for their thoughts, they made no promises that any of the popular ideas would be implemented, however, they expressed that they would consider every suggestion that came their way.
