Designer notes:Â We know that the removal of energy mags seems a bit odd, but it will make much more sense with the release of Season 4! It takes a while to make the bigger changes you see in the new season updates, and we generally make sure to filter out these changes from preceding mid-season updates. This time we made a mistake and shipped a change that wasn’t intended to go live until Season 4.
This feature is limited to approved partners and allows them to arrange private player matches, record live footage via game client spectators, and view match results. Our goal here is to provide great tools for tournament organizers for setting up teams and matches at events and a better spectating experience for fans.

i’ve been playing wraith since the end of season 2 now you go and nerf her like this is a dying game just like pubg why nerf her a extra 10 seconds i could see 5 seconds but you had to go a extra 5 seconds that’s so in fair the only thing she had good about her was the void now she’s a useless character i think ima delete it now this was the only game keeping me going my hard days moving up ranked for nothing thanks respawn for ruining the game once again how pathetic
Ridiculous, stop making good legends worse and make the trash ones better.
Yall are bunch of cry babies get over it theyre doing a great job. Just cause you aint too good
I don’t exactly understand the Wraith change… “She will now move at their combined speed when they are both activated” … wasn’t that always the case? Can someone please clarify?
Beforehand, the speed was multiplied, but now it’s just added together. It just makes her move a little bit slower now, that’s all.
Everyone that rides wraiths non existent nuts and had been maining her for over a year is TIGHTTT. I think changing up the meta is good for the game. Wish Bangalore got a little buff (even though she doesn’t need one lol) Id say crypto is most in need of buffs. Almost no one plays him now. I think blood hound could use a little buff too maybe.
facts
This sucks and all but it low key make sense , removing the extended mags probably getting a little too OP
so gibraltar can now be lifeline and a tank with 305 hp with a white shield…. gibby is the new PK
I think Respawn is doing a good job, it’s hard to manage a game like Apex. I understand they nerf Wraith and buff Gibby, they want to change the meta so people would play different legends. I know his passive is strong, and it will be changed but overall, updates like these make the game more interesting. Shall we see more Crypto? Will Wraith be dropped on LAN’s, we don’t know.
I think Apex is fun (sometimes frustrating) and I think Respawn wants to make everyone enjoy the game.
Exactly
i don’t understand how these professional developers can’t listen to their community and see how Gibraltar is WAY TO OVERPOWERED…. why would you keep buffing a character that is already impossible to kill…. gunshield, fast revives, fast heals, most overpowered ultimate in the game. 1v1 a gibraltar and you lose every time… please just listen to your community respawn… we play the game everyday and sometimes we know what we need to make the game better…… and brink back kings canyon 🙂
I agree wholeheartedly…………Especially the kings canyon part 🙂
So now if a teammate quits you only get loss forgiveness at random. Great way to fix the dashboarding shit. Everyone is still quitting and now I have to suffer for it. Fantastic job guys.
They want to make Gibby more playable and Wraith is still good considering her size and if you are good at the game
Coming in season 4: Gibraltar now spawns with gold armor and ultimate fully charged ???
RIP APEX
Why make Wraith worse when you could just make other legends better? Also, why does Gibby keep getting these buffs when he’s already in meta? Apex is driving itself into the ground and many pro players are losing their drive to play the game
You should buff wattson to beat up gibby
I think this is a great patch, hopefully this will bring a much needed change to the legend meta.
Keep up the nice works guys. Loving the changes.
305 health for Gibby isn’t enough? Respawn is so pathetic and clueless. Now wraith is trash now too. I’m done with apex bow
Wraith only had her bonus speed in the void away. Wraith has always been OP. This update did very well IMO. Haters gonna hate.
I got a -50 in rank and only had 2 players ??? Wtf
Fawwk gibby fix Wraith fat fawwk always gets help
Thanks Respawn for buffing my crypto and gibby
Gibby who is already busted gets buffed and wraith takes fairly big nerf. Who do you guys have coming up with this nonsense.
I f ing agree it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo anoing
interesting-

maybe they are releasing the volt
It’s to bad that they nerfed wraith but why buff gibby again? And the energy mags didnt really change a thing for me the thing that gets me is the turbocharger on the devotion makes it overpowered
F4king dogs are buffing gibby every time…too op cunts…and nerfing Wraith for no reason…
F4K U RESPAWN!!
Its a speed reduction and a ten second difference, i know its a lot but take a look at legends like mirage, its fair
They are changing the meta. It keeps the game enjoyable, maybe not for Wraith mains right now but they choose to do that to let people change different legends. If Wraith becomes underpowered, she will get a buff, it’s that simple.
why did you have to do that to my poor wraith?????????!!!!!!!
