ALGS meta could return to old standby following big Bangalore, Bloodhound changes

Bangalore and Bloodhound formed one of Apex Legends‘ simplest and most effective synergies: Bangalore blocked vision with her smoke, and Bloodhound’s ultimate allowed them to see through that smoke. But following changes to both characters with massive implications for their playstyle, ALGS players could turn to an old favorite—Seer.

In the patch notes for Apex‘s Double Take event, the legend balance changes noted alterations to Bangalore and Bloodhound that change fundamental aspects of their ability kits both have had since the early days of Apex. Enemies inside of Bangalore’s smokes will now show as white outlines to other players also inside of the smoke. While these outlines won’t show to players outside of the smoke, it’s still a huge change that impacts the effectiveness of Bangalore’s smokes to make combat more difficult and help her team reset. But it also sneakily buffs her in situations where teams want to aggress and take a clean fight, giving the teams fighting a clear view of each other while hiding the action from those outside the smokes. Meanwhile, Bloodhound’s ultimate no longer sees through smokes or gas. Enemies will only appear highlighted in red if nothing interrupts their line of sight to Bloodhound.
