Horizon nerf could return to Apex Legends soon as dev says change wasn’t ‘fully ready’

Apex Legends has a wealth of changes with each new season and split, introducing collection events and cosmetics, updates to existing maps, limited time game modes, and changes to the balance of its playable cast. However, one character recently received a nerf that was not announced in the patch notes for the latest update, the Spellbound collection event.

Horizon, the gravitational manipulator introduced in Season 7 of Apex, received a major unreported nerf to weapon accuracy while on her tactical ability, the Gravity Lift. With the fifth highest pick rate out of 23 different playable legends according to Apex Legends Status, a hit to Horizon’s viability to engage fights from a safe distance would also prove detrimental to the plans of many teams on a professional level, especially those who frequently ran Horizon in standard team compositions. Pro players like ImperialHal weighed in on the matter, citing how the skill gap between good and bad players was cut down, and was “truly embarrassing to see.”
