Apex fans debate the game’s worst-ever balance changes, and there’s one clear loser
Apex Legends has successfully lasted for four years, introducing players to 24 playable legends, five unique maps, and 18 seasons of content that keep the game fresh. However, despite Respawn’s good intentions to balance the game, not every patch has won the community over.
One Aug. 15 Reddit thread took opinions from the Apex community to find the worst balance updates or changes to the game since its initial release. The top comments all pointed to season 6’s armor meta changes, which lowered the shields of all armor by 25 health, with the intention to reward better strategic positioning by lowering the time to kill.
