Lets see if I can get all my old posts out the way in a timely fashion*
Just a couple thoughts about the last season:
1. Solo mode. I have a separate post about the nuances of the solo mode trial, but ill just say here that I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Maybe this could be a solo game after all.
2. The map changes made Kings Canyon more fun. A lot of the places of interest in Kings Canyon were badly designed and were either destroyed or altered drastically in season 2. These changes kept the game fresh and gave people some new options on where to land. I’m curious to see if they alter the new map the same way seeing that its a drastically bigger map.
Not very compelling. Those crafting metals tho!
3. I don’t really care about the battle pass. Mostly because the skins offered are TRASH. Y’all gotta try harder to make me open my wallet. I still haven’t bought the season 3 pass cause there isn’t that one item that I want to grind for. In fortnite, when they started to add music packs and dances that I wanted, it gave me a reason to do challenges and play every day. I love apex, but I don’t love it THAT much
Proof that a wall doesn’t solve every problem.
4. Watson is beyond useless. Caustic and Gibby are cumbersome, but they have utility and can move around in a fight a lot while using their abilities to maximize their utility to the team. Watson...just builds walls and ults. That’s it. Even Lifeline has more utility due to her tiny hitbox which allows her to engage an enemy very aggressively while also having proper time to heal up if it gets rough. I cannot make a case for playing Watson when her usefulness is limited to such niche situations in a firefight. I actually have a lot more to say about Wattson, but ill leave that for another post.
