If you pick a movement legend its still more than possible to get epic armor before most people do, just running around taking the evo harvesters or doing the other things to get evo upgrades like looting bins and whatever, i think if you play pathfinder scan all carepacks, use the scan enemies thing (from upgrading blue perk) you can do it pretty much as fast as people who fight like twice or three times a game. Especially if you find the evo upgrade in the carepack to get red evo after just getting purple.
7:57 tapstrafing is still in the game. the recent "removal" was respawn disableling the ability to chain .cfg files. which made it inpossible to make a set button do actions automatically for you. making the only option left for tapstrafing quickly stacking lurches. which cant be done on controller trough its inputs working a bit different. so now its usualy done with a mouse scroll wheel. edit: and the one from the article you showed even says that that was unintentional, also respawn showed a few tapstrafes in trailers
mirage was the first legend i ever bought and i will always come back to him. From his vanishing act ultimate to seeing him get buffed every time, even reworked a couple of times, my boy has grown a lot. Season 0 mirage mains assemble✊🏻✊🏻
I love that you write the effects of each upgrade on the screen. It saves so much time since you don’t have to explain each one, but it also lets those who haven’t memorized every single perk by hard know what you’re talking about. Great video.
The 30 second cool down Plus tac refresh is INSANE. Big Ws and as a Newcastle main the heal bin buffs, a stronger shield AND the slow heal after rez is CRAZY fun. They do be cookin 🧑🏾🍳.
This is definitely my favourite apex season! As a mid player who wasn’t played too much, but enough to reach lvl 100 and the new modes have been so fun! Also the free legends is absolutely amazing!!! 😊
one thing with rampart: the blue shield abilities are stronger than you think because the ammo thing pares SO well with the amped cover boost because you have SO much to shoot with and SO fast reloads so you dont stop shooting at all if you are behind cover. the other upgrade is also pretty strong because you can holster sheila even if it is at 50% ammunition and you get these 50% as ult charge, so you only need to charge the other 50% and combine THAT with this perk and you can pretty much always use sheila for like 50% of the ammo and keep the rest for emergencies
seeing the changes they made and the new gamemode they brought, i finally decided to try the game again after not playing for almost 2 years now. and i gotta say im enjoying myself on apex again, who would've thought
Apex finally won me back after pushing me away in S17+ I've been solo queueing Straight shot and having a great time. I feel like my time is not being wasted and the matchmaking has actually been varied, not just super sweat humiliation game after game.
Macro, I just want you to know that ive been watching you for the longest time and ive enjoyed every moment, and i feel like i really need to say that, if i had to choose one channel to watch for the rest of my life on yt, it would 100%...be Slimcicle, he is just so funny and original.
11:52 Funny you mention about the drone following you as an UPGRADE, when in Apex mobile this was already included as part of his ability... I still miss you apex mobile
As a mirage main, I’m really happy with it will say I stop picking the health perk because every time I pick it, I always scream let me res them and no one ever does so I stop picking it but I will say it is so easy to bamboozle someone and getting my ultimate even quicker is so clutch
This seriously might be the season that brings me back again. I've been playing off and on since season 1 but haven't played at all in almost a year because it felt so stale with too much sweat and RNG. I know the insane sweat is still gonna be there and I'm gonna get rocked almost every game for a bit but all these changes just seem more fun in my opinion.
Yo Macro, Did you know that Ash in mobile had 2 Phase Breach(Shadow Step) Phase Breach, can be reactivated within 7 seconds of its first use, but the ability's distance is halved. Meaning to say she got 2 Phase Breach in the Mobile ver. 👍😄
WAIT WITH THE WATTSON ABILITY!!!!! because one thing that is not said in the explanation of the two-pylon-ability is, that these pylons only have half the shield regeneration capacity, so you need 2 of them just to get the same affect like you have one normal pylon, which i think is actually a nerf to her kit
Ngl, as a Maggie player, I often pick the auto reload on shotguns, having a faster movement speed while also guaranting a reloaded shotgun for me works best.
As a rampart main on controller the Sheila buffs are crazy, making it easier to catch people of guard behind doors or in the open makes her ult so great. The faster reloads is great for the non sheila enjoyers, but at that point why even play Rampart then? Love the way that she can be played with multiple builds though wish that was possible for all legends but some abilities are just way stronger than other like you also mention.
i used to play apex mobile all the time highest rank and everything but i could never get into the normal apex and gave up like two games in, this looks really good to where im giving it another shot.
one thing that i dont understand is: why do they hate crypto? like MAN what are these perks? a cooldown for an ability that you only need if the ability gets destroyed and a SMALL cooldown for an okay-ish ultimate at the blue armor level and one improvement for the abilities ranges and a useless ability that you can get by investing ONE SECOND LONGER by pinging the legends banners... what i want to say is that there are so many good abilities for crypto-perks like: blue level: 1 the drone can be redeployed with just pinging a position at a wall or something (quality of life for him) 2 the drone gets three times its original health (not op but enemies will need to invest more time into destroying it) purple level: 1 the drone pings enemies that are within 20 or 30 meters when you throw it (not op because if the enemy is that close you probably already know his overall position, but it is a nice buff to have something like a weak bloodhound ability on crypto) 2 the ultimate DOES NOT SLOW HIS OWN TEAM DOWN!!!! (that one makes SO much sense because he is a HACKER that should be able to control what his drone does like why is he using an emp anyway? like MAN just hack into the enemy shields and damage them) and i know these abilities are not perfect but his actual perks are just not that useful sometimes
Ash Main here:The rework they need is her ultimate imo, If the initial tear acted like a small black hole and sucked allies / enemies through is step one, then offer the tier choice of auto start reviving, or auto execute but with a much quicker animation than the standard 5- 6 second finisher (3.5-4 secs at most).
I think a good buff for Ash (overall, not just a perk) would be that she can mark where the remainder of a squad for a person *she* killed is. It'd defo make her more scary if both squadmates are dead and she just rats out the last one
I used to main Ash from release to s15 before I got tired of her being dragged in the mud. My suggestions for her upgrades are the following. Ash: Blue upgrades number 1, she should be able to snare mulitple foes like her lv3 does so change tier of upgrade. 2, when she finishes an opponent she should get her ult or she should also be able to have her armor fixed by scanning a deathbox as it will make her passive a lot more usable. As for her purple upgrades she should be able to upgrade to have twice the distance with her ult and being able to go through it again or her snares travel way quicker and she gains speed boost when hit on opponents and her sprinting is quieter so she can be a true assassin. (Yes some of these would be a little insane but Ash deserves som chaos buffs to her😅)
I very much enjoy the perk system. It is a great overhaul of the game and making it more fresh. I do not want to see it now, but In the future, I would like to add another perk level. 2 for passive, 2 for tacts and 2 for ultimate. And hoping these would lean toward different playstyle and own the moment decisions. This would allow more customization. The order of the perk type can depend legends to legends.
Macro's about to get 30K bamboozles in one season alone (Mirage needs a season-sensitive tracker for bamboozles, hear me out Respawn) ... and I hope Ash Reborn is on the way :') Haven't had the chance to try all of the perks out, but Maggie seems super scary and I love that
Legend Upgrades sound good. It incentivize squad to use their legend class perk. I've been with random who refuse to do something like using survey beacons the whole match.
I used to be a lifeline main but stopped using her cause she just felt mediocre compared to other legends. I'm happy to see that she has some really good perks and I'm definitely gonna start maining her again.
I have an idea for a ballistic upgrade: do the idea of making him reload faster would be nice, i think that it would deincentivise(i dont think i wrote that right) changing to his third weapon even more, so instead i think it would be cool if he got a weapon switch speed upgrade, it would still go with the weapon master vibe and would incentivise switching to the third weapon, instead of reloading.
What's your favorite change this season?
The sheildd
The new abilities
they buffed ma boi mirage
as a mirage main i may cry tears of joy
The new game mode for sure
As someone who only plays titan fall 2 and the finals this shit is crazy and fire
The finals and titanfall 2 are some of the best games I’ve played
a limited selection but two great ones nonetheless
Bruh ain't no way someone that plays Titanfall would ever think apex is good

I was so confused when he said tap strafing is gone lmao
I was gunna say I’m still boopin around lol
Thank god, I was terrified
I’d like to see mirage clones shoot at your target without doing damage but still give a damage marker
That's too OP. If they did that it should be in a limited mode and make every character their most OP version. I think that would be fun
Mirage decoys invert controls, prevent abilities, sliding, sprinting and ADS for 10 seconds. Bam. Mirage is the best in the game.

Mirage has always been my favorite despite people saying he sucks. :)
I made a new account because I switched to Playstation but once I unlock mirage again it's over for everyone
@@AaronRosales_12 I'm considering coming back to Apex after years of not playing because of this season. It looks awesome!
You guys talk about buffing mirage but imagine being a crypto main. All they do is nerf him even tho he's shit

and i gotta say
im enjoying myself on apex again, who would've thought
Bro house burns down 5 minutes later 😂

Very nice selection Mac 👌🏽
Self Revive brings back the days of the old golden shields
HERE COMES THE SUPER SALT
This video made me realize that we have way too many legends
Buff mirage era is over… Nerf mirage era begins.
Apex finally won me back after pushing me away in S17+ I've been solo queueing Straight shot and having a great time. I feel like my time is not being wasted and the matchmaking has actually been varied, not just super sweat humiliation game after game.
Dude I've been getting bamboozled by this new mirage ult upgrade so bad
There is no way I wasn't subbed to this man.
Finally got back into apex this season and it’s been a blast!
I love how they made valk fun to play again
such a quick good review of all the changes! i definitely want to play apex this season if i can find the time
Mate I was just watching his old videos waiting for this I see a notification and I see this 👌

(that is a joke for all the ash players)
as an Ash main, greedy snare is actually really busted. being able to just throw it on the ground and stop people from pushing an area is very strong.
Yeah, shame they got rid of the permanent uptime, that was hilarious
essentially how the silence worked before they took it from me (pounce is good but as an old rev main I have biases)
@@lonearachnid6591same, i started maining Ash bc i dont't personally like revenant reborn
Give ash a passive that lets her use her sword as a much faster and more powerful alternative to punching
dropped off apex early last year, may have to give it another go now these upgrade paths do look cool
11:52
Funny you mention about the drone following you as an UPGRADE, when in Apex mobile this was already included as part of his ability...
I still miss you apex mobile
Caustic health regeneration in gas is awesome. I feel like it does not get much health, but too much might be broken.
As a Gibby main myself, having a smaller bubble is actually a buff most of the time, and with the cooldown reduced it's what I've been picking
As the only mad Maggie main I love the fireball ultimate a lot and the fact that it shoots flaming hot wrecking balls than one is op
As a mirage main, I’m really happy with it will say I stop picking the health perk because every time I pick it, I always scream let me res them and no one ever does so I stop picking it but I will say it is so easy to bamboozle someone and getting my ultimate even quicker is so clutch

Loved the gurren logon pics for the drills 😂
this is my first time playing apex and my first season of playing apex its more fun then i thought
Honestly apex should hire macro his suggestions for buffs are actually good
I'm just here to support the video and see what's going on. Always want this game to be great it's just not me anymore
Even tho I havent played apex in a while, gotta wathc the Macro vid
The matchmaking feels way better this season as well, the fights feel so much more fair
Love you man!

what i want to say is that there are so many good abilities for crypto-perks like:
blue level:
1 the drone can be redeployed with just pinging a position at a wall or something (quality of life for him)
2 the drone gets three times its original health (not op but enemies will need to invest more time into destroying it)
purple level:
1 the drone pings enemies that are within 20 or 30 meters when you throw it (not op because if the enemy is that close you probably already know his overall position, but it is a nice buff to have something like a weak bloodhound ability on crypto)

radiant transfer isn’t one of conduits level 2 upgrades

Ash Main here:The rework they need is her ultimate imo, If the initial tear acted like a small black hole and sucked allies / enemies through is step one, then offer the tier choice of auto start reviving, or auto execute but with a much quicker animation than the standard 5- 6 second finisher (3.5-4 secs at most).
Ballistic needs a new upgrade, where when he gets knock, a few of his attachments on his sling upgrade.
One idea to add to the system is having another 2 per legend and the player being able t swap them out or smth like that
Let's go I can finally resume playing apex.
FYI vantages sharpshooter perk works on ANY HIT. Not just her ultimate. It’s busted
I think a good buff for Ash (overall, not just a perk) would be that she can mark where the remainder of a squad for a person *she* killed is. It'd defo make her more scary if both squadmates are dead and she just rats out the last one
@TheMacroShow you should make a new tier list for all the legends since the some legends has recieved new upgrades.

Six sense feel like cryptos ability to call out squad counts with his drone.
I’m pretty sure the text messed up for mirage’s level three buffs
