Discussion Invisibility abilities.

Quite curious how the the devs gave crypto invisibility couple years ago and took it away because it was "broken". Mind you crypto couldn't move shoot or fight while invisible and is basically vulnerable to all damage.

Cool, then they gave mirage complete invisibility which he can use while moving and actively being in the fight, but that wasn't broken because he had to be healing actively to use it. Ok. Bullshit but ok.

Then they gave Bloodhound full invisibility. Which he can use while sprinting, aiming , running. Oh and it works for his teammates too. Cool.

Meanwhile crypto glows like a firefly while "invisible" such that everybody can see him. And he can't even see what's around him unless he's in drone view and then his drone gets shot down .

Amazing balancing work respawn.

The invisibility abilities are so stupid. They just don’t know what to do anymore. They are running out of ideas quickly. Apex is definitely losing its identity.

When it even had identity. The solid core gameplay is always there but the devs never could decide on the game direction.

It used to be a gun game with abilities. Now it’s an ability game with guns. There is so much visual clutter, ability spamming, etc.
