Philip “ImperialHal” Dosen shares Newcastle’s thoughts on why Apex Legends isn’t working on the current meta. It should be noted that listening to a professional player or someone at the highest level can be cheating. Although their logic makes sense for higher levels. Everything is completely different to some extent. Hunters play the game completely differently, and while gold players try to emulate higher levels, it usually doesn’t work because their opponents also behave differently.
ImperialHal is pretty straightforward about this.
If your legend doesn’t have the ability to do damage, it’s probably garbage. This includes the last caption. Newcastle were designed to defend their team, which ImperialHal said was not suitable.
The irony in his description is that the current team has a horizon and a mirage, both of which are incapable of harm. I think he believes they are valuable because they have “crossover” abilities and can still play aggressively. However, the general statement that only opportunities for harm are beneficial is false. Other Legends like the Wraith and even Horizon take their place, albeit unscathed.
Same goes for Newcastle, you can use your ultimatum to join a weak enemy team or even try to split their team. Yes, it’s designed to be defensive, but simply changing your playstyle allows you to adapt to the meta level more aggressively.
Overall, ImperialHal is right. Any legend that can increase damage will be better in pro matches, but don’t worry. Your Newcastle will do well in the money matches.
