Okay, so I heard about the new Apex Legends Season 19 patch, and like always, I had to jump in and see what’s new. Here’s a breakdown of my experience messing around with the changes.
Digging into the Patch Notes
First thing’s first, I grabbed the patch notes. Gotta know what I’m dealing with, right? I usually skim through them quickly and then go back for the details on stuff that sounds important.
Testing the Waters
After I read the notes, I always hop into the firing range. It’s the best way to get a feel for any weapon changes or Legend tweaks without the pressure of a real match. I spent a good chunk of time there, just trying out different guns and seeing how they felt. Did they kick harder? Reload faster? Stuff like that.
- I tried every character I play a lot.
- I messed with any new abilities or changes to their existing ones.
- I paid close attention to how these changes might affect my usual playstyle.
Jumping into Real Games
Firing range is cool and all, but you gotta see how things work in a real fight. So, I queued up for some matches. I usually start with a few casual games, just to get a feel for the overall changes in a less stressful environment. Then, if I’m feeling confident, I’ll jump into ranked.
During these games, I really focused on:
- How the new Legend/Weapon/Meta felt in actual combat.
- How other players were using the changed Legends or weapons.
- Any new strategies that seemed to be emerging.
Taking Notes and Adapting
Throughout all of this, I jot down notes. Just quick things I notice, like “Hemlok feels stronger now” or “Conduit’s abilities are very useful”. This helps me remember my initial impressions and track how my opinion changes as I play more.
The final step is just playing more and adapting. It takes time to really get used to a new season, figure out the best strategies, and adjust your playstyle. It is always fun to adapt and try new playstyle. So, I kept at it, experimenting with different Legends, weapons, and tactics until I found what works best for me in Season 19.
That is it! I hope it helps.
