Valkyrie's weakness, about one month after the implementation of APEX LEGENDS and Spareje, is a debate. Is it an ant or a pear after the implementation of rare skin?

Respown Entertainment released the Patch Note of APEX LEGENDS season 14 on August 9. The changes revealed in the patch note seem to be dissatisfied with users over Super Legends.

What is Super Legend

The Super Legend in APEX LEGENDS is a dedicated melee weapon prepared for each legend. It does not affect gameplay, such as damage, and is a kind of decorative item. In addition to being able to see the weapon and a proximity attack, there are also unique productions. The existing super legends can be obtained using a super ligand shards discharged from the apex pack with a very low probability. On the other hand, a new super legend will be added at the collection event and can be obtained by preparing all the items of event specifications. After the event, it will be the same way as the existing Super Legend.

The Super Legend Shard is always available once per 500 APEX packs (official website). In the new season, you can get a total of 544 APEX packs for free by raising your account level. If you keep playing for a long time, you will always be able to get a Super Legend Shard.

The last Super Legend was added to the awakening collection event held on June 22. At the event was Valkyrie's Super Legend.

Sparege suddenly enters the topic

And today, Spare Geory (Super Legend) is in the trend in the domestic Twitter game category. It's not unusual if a new Super Legend appears. However, as mentioned earlier, no new Super Legend has appeared since the awakening collection event in late June (apart from bangalol prestige skin). Why is Sparege in trend now?

This trend seems to be due to the weakening of Valkyrie. Valkyrie has announced a downward revision of abilities at the patch note released today. Mobility in passive and ultimate decreased. The effects and scope of missiles fired by tactical abilities will also decrease. In doing so, a fairly large weakening adjustment was included. The reaction to this adjustment varies. It seems that some users are frustrated, as some have been heard that they had expected. Specifically, he is a user who has obtained a Super Legend. Despite having obtained a super legend, Valkyrie has been dissatisfied with weakening.

dissatisfaction with Valkyrie weakening

Specific reactions are the sorrow from users who spent money or practiced Valkyrie shortly after the Super Legend Release. If you search on Twitter on Super Legend and Spare Ge, you can see such voices (as of writing). APEX Legends Super Legend requires a high charge to get it immediately after implementation. Although it is a decorative item that does not affect gameplay, there are users who are not convinced that Valkyrie will be greatly weakened about a month later. Some people say that there is no problem if they have attached to the character, but some unfortunate users are scattered.

By the way, as a similar case, in the past, Levnant and others have weakened after the appearance of Super Legend. Regarding Revnant, adjustments such as reducing the effect of death protection by 5 seconds along with the appearance of Super Legend. After the season 11, further weakening was repeated. In other words, when the Super Legend appeared, the weakening had already begun, and the downward revision was gradually added over time. On the other hand, Valkyrie's weakening is performed at a stretch in a new season. The fact that a large weakening is implemented at once is accelerating criticism.

Rounds of the developer

On the other hand, Valkyrie could not be left as a developer. Because Valkyrie is a very highly picked (adopted) rate in competition scenes and rank matches. In Algs Championship, the pick rate was 98 %. Jon Kefaloukos, who is the moderator of users and Algs, mentions the competition scene where such essential characters exist. It was also said that it would have a negative effect on the game.

Valkyrie was becoming a mandatory picking in the competition scene. In the early North American league this year, it was already nearly 90 % of picks. The momentum of Valkyrie weakening, including the competition scene, was increasing. The fate of Valkyrie weakening may have been decided from this time.

There seems to be a reason that Valkyrie's weakening was done at once. According to the developer, the timing of adjustment was intended to avoid rapid environmental changes in the Algs Championships competition scene. Therefore, Valkyrie's weakening seemed to have to wait for the end of the tournament. As a result, Valkyrie's various abilities were weakened about one month after the appearance of Super Legend.

Character adjustment is an indispensable factor in operating games, and it should be welcomed by users in the sense of maintaining the quality of the game. On the other hand, there are many cases where characters are revised downward and user dissatisfaction erupts. If you have a billing item, it is more likely that lack of communication will cause user dissatisfaction. The same is true even if the momentum of weakening is increasing like Valkyrie. Even if the item itself does not affect the strength, the strength of the character and the demand for billing items are deeply connected. Like Levnant, did the adjustments to gradually weaken have reduced the opportunity to see such sad voices? But that is also if you do.

In the first place, it is not clear how much Valkyrie is weakened unless you actually touch it. It is possible to determine the opinion of this super legend, first check the performance of Valkyrie in the new season. The APEX LEGENDS season 14 Hanted will open tomorrow on August 10.
