Apex Legends is one of the most played popular Battle Royale titles. With millions of players worldwide, the fast-paced FPS title is frequently updated with new content.

Developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts, it is heavily inspired by the Titanfall universe with players forming a team of up to three and choosing pre-designed legends with unique abilities.

But as is the case with online games, issues such as ‘This account is not permitted to play online’ and voice chat not working on Xbox have frustrated a lot in the last few months.

That said, Apex Legends players are now asking developers to nerf Gibraltar and buff Lifeline. Many say Gibraltar’s kit is too overpowered and his shield and dome are way too annoying to go against (1,2,3,4,5).

Others have been complaining about Lifeline and say she is one of the most useless legends in the current meta (1,2,3,4,5). Players say the removal of her shield when reviving teammates made her worse.

Really hoping the new character NewCastle coming to Apex Legends this Season is overpowered. Gibraltar dome has been OP and now we get someone who maybe can change up the meta in Esports scene. Excited hoping devs do not nerf newcastle too much and we get new defensive KING.

Their reasoning for not touching lifeline is “her pick rate is high” but right before they release a legend with basically old lifeline passive and have smart lootbins in the same season? I’m so mad as a lifeline enjoyer because now we have to wait a whole season to even hear NEWS if they’re going to touch her. All I’m asking for is mid season updates where we don’t need to wait 3 months for any non hot fix balance patch just because I’m bummed I have to ignore one of my faves for another season

Many are frustrated since the developers haven’t made any changes to legends in the last couple of seasons. We hope Apex Legends developers take into consideration player feedback and nerf Gibraltar and buff Lifeline in the coming days.
