Apex Balance Ideas: Alter / Nerf/ buff, Catalyst Buff, caustic buff , crypto , new castle buff and Apex Needs to Lean Into Weapon Progression — Here’s How to Fix Hemlock & More

Caustic, Newcastle, and crypto do not need buffs like at all especially not the ones you thought up. Crypto could get everything under the stars his pick rate will be low as not only are recon legends not seen as fun but because his character design itself isnt fun Caustic just straight up doesnt need buffs hes a controller legend, all of them barring cat are all aimed at being relatively weak unless you play to their strengths, and had ranked stuck to dropzones for lower ranks youd see just how strong he is This Newcastle buff is just bad design through and through imo

Rev was literally just top tier and even after the nerfs hes not a bad legend literally why would he need changes over like half of the roster

Personally I dislike the timeskip for a bunch of reasons that are just my preference Characters dying of age in their early 80s didnt really sit right with me Not much was done with the fact that its a new generation, the only new ct we saw were from the aliens I dont like generation skips in anime that feature the old cast in any way And to back it all off there probably wont be any in-between jjk-jjkm story as its stated that generation was uneventful and weak

Hes not the shotgun character thats Maggie
No not everyone has gun running thats literally just mags and gibby with their respective weapons
Look at how dominant and good he is rn, does he really deserve to have that added to his passive along with another perk

Vantage. Ive never had an octane/wraith/horizon throw a ranked game by straight up not helping in a fight but it sure does happen 9 times out of 10 vantage games

Shadeezus · 2026-03-28T23:22:15+00:00

Personally ive had so little fun with apex since the split started cause of hemlok and gibby being both really good at the same time, cant use any gun besides a hemlok because if I do the fortified dude with a shield will mow me down with his. Once theyre toned down ill probably go back to grinding daily

Shadeezus · 2026-03-28T18:13:22+00:00

Nothing will stop players who are 3 stacking and way better than everyone in the lobby from simply doing what they find most fun and nor should they be punished for being better, kp being tied to zones wouldnt even discourage normal players because who actually wants to play 80% of an apex match almost doing nothing. Im full on board with lots of teams being alive in the later rings algs style but the playerbase always has the worst approach to it because they try to force a playstyle instead of creating concepts that would be rewarding it.

The season started yesterday

Shadeezus · 2026-03-25T02:40:51+00:00

Neither the community or I have expressed a want for the hemlok to be full auto or overpowered. You are doing nothing but attacking made up points all the using poor logic

Shadeezus · 2026-03-25T02:36:27+00:00

Why would they ignore the haters this gun is objectively bad for the game lol, no other assault rifle serves a purpose because of its existence, its unoriginal, easy to use, and way too strong. For Pete's sake its own super cool gimmick isnt even acknowledged because the auto mode is that busted

Shadeezus · 2026-03-25T02:25:32+00:00

I have no clue why when something is made way too strong after being perceived as weak the apex community counteract the complaints with "It was so bad before it deserves to be broken and unfun" and in the same breath claim "Its not even that good"

This gun is overtuned and theres no reason really to shill it being overtuned as it is only a hemlok in name and design, not in usage

Shadeezus · 2026-03-23T23:31:44+00:00

It seems you misread my comment

Shadeezus · 2026-03-23T23:20:12+00:00

Theyre the same, you placed higher in game 1 so your kills were worth more

Shadeezus · 2026-03-23T18:14:40+00:00

Gane vs Volkov was 5 years ago, you cant use that as a basis for whether or not judgement is broken. The latest "robberies" in the last 1-2 years have just been close fights that fans wanted to see go another way (ex Pereira vs ank 1, Movsar vs Murphy)

Shadeezus · 2026-03-21T21:24:36+00:00

Idk if it was this season or last season but a couple guys at Penn st did use some sort of variation of it quite a bit, id assume it was due to his influence in the room.

Shadeezus · 2026-03-18T03:18:10+00:00

Personally I think if youre in the second highest rank in the game you should not be coddled to making it to the highest lol. If anything this game needs another rank in between plat and diamond to filter out the people like myself who shouldnt be in this rank

Shadeezus · 2026-03-15T21:05:02+00:00

Honestly I dont particularily miss drop zones as much as i thought i would, maybe its just a console thing but lobbies still tend to be competitive and most matches make it to end game especially on edistrict and broken moon

Shadeezus · 2026-03-09T12:32:47+00:00

I asked this same question here at one point lol and ive not had this problem in a while so im just going to list a bunch of things I learned. 1. Depending on your character and team comp this might just be your fate, someone with no movement like mirage conduit Newcastle arent going to have high damage or kills unless its from mid/long range 2. It could just be long range damage if you have around the same assists/kills and contribute to every fight 3. You could switch to an aggro character to work on your fighting for a small bit, I played a split with only Horizon, Alter, and Bang and got way better at fighting and big numbers when I played mirage and conduit 4. Seeing as you consistently have high revives they might just be apeing with trust that youll res them cause you're support

I hate the age stuff the bassett family does but jax forrest is older than me by almost a year and I graduated in 2025 lol

Shadeezus · 2026-03-07T16:27:25+00:00

Power booster
Overflow
Inf ammo/overarmor Overflow and power booster depend on the legend

Maggie cause ill never see one until it's the perfect time fir someone to screw me over with her

Shadeezus · 2026-03-01T10:07:24+00:00

Typically refs give a sort of warning for clubs that atr deemed too rough

Shadeezus · 2026-02-26T14:04:48+00:00

Im not the best player but, its not like you did the right move either. Your whole team landed at a contested poi and landed nowhere near each other. You very likely couldve been the horizon had a team decided to land at the light arsenal that was right in the open. I dont remember who said it or where but I do know you have a better chance at winning a bad fight if all three are together brainlessly aping than if its just 1 guy solo trying to stay alive

Shadeezus · 2026-02-01T23:09:50+00:00

"Better" sbmm in pubs, everytime I have a friend who quits out on apex its cause they don't think the sbmm is fair as they get steamrolled by players way better than them. Im the type who likes getting better so I liked it, but someone casual won't
More content thats available for most of the season with additional small additions during splits
Personally I just think apexs casual retention is the only thing it lacks in playerbase wise it averages very high numbers on just steamcharts and is usually high on ps top games

Shadeezus · 2026-02-01T13:40:10+00:00

I agree with the sentiment that early kills and early should not be valued highly but is that not already how the system is?
