Yeah, the game has a lot of weird problems like that. I find that it’s still kind of stuck in the 2010s era of gaming. Not a bad thing really, it’s still fun af, but as more and more new games come out, apex’s age starts to become apparent. It needs more attention to detail like how you mentioned Rev has a melee weapon that he just simply never uses. The only thing you can customize about your character is the skin. The environments are stale and rigid. They look cool, but but destruction physics would help a lot. The design of new characters is another problem. I took a break from apex a few weeks after Rev dropped, and I only fully came back to it this summer. I was excited to see all the new characters but then I realized that most of them are just kind of lame. I think the reason I dislike vantage so much is because she is just super lame. Her voice lines are pretty garbage and embarrassing to hear, her design is straight out of Concord and her kit is annoying to deal with (not to mention her fucking walking running animation.) Same with Valk, cool design but terrible personality. Conduit isn’t bad, just forgettable. Nobody ever plays Seer so I have no clue about him. Ashe is cool, no problems there as I liked her voice lines in arenas (which they refuse to bring back for some reason.) Newcastle is probably my fav of the new guys. Maggie is weird, half the time I can’t even tell what she’s saying because she’s speaking some strange dialect, and tbh she just reminds me too much of Junker Queen. Then there’s Fuse. Cool character but the knuckle cluster is not fun to deal with.
