Together with the major patch of Season 2, the portraits of the legends in Apex Legends have changed. They all have a new look, which many players do not like.
What happened to the portraits? With the patch for Season 2, the portraits of all legends in Apex Legends have changed. They received a slight polish and are now supposed to better reflect the character of each legend.
The portraits are visible both in the legend selection just before a match and in the customization options. All ten legends, including the new legend Wattson, are listed there.
The change to the portraits was only a small part of the extensive innovations of Season 2. However, this small detail is currently eliciting mixed feelings from players.
What the community says about the portraits
This is how players are reacting: The opinion on the new portraits is divided in the community. Some players support them, while others are indifferent. Many players do not think highly of the change. They even mock it.
In a larger thread on reddit, fans are discussing the small change. Some compare the new icons to mobile games. The user MawBTS1989 has received considerable support for his comment:
Does anyone still prefer the old icons? Gibraltar looks like he’s trying to fart secretly, and Caustic looks like a panda.
What problems does Apex Legends still have?
This is how Season 2 has been received so far: Not only regarding the icons, but also in general, opinions on Season 2 have been quite mixed so far. Players who find the season successful praise mainly the new Ranked system and believe that Apex Legends now plays completely differently.
Players who are more disappointed see the same problems as before Season 1. They lack motivation to play, and the changes to the map were not as impressive as they had hoped.
However, the season only started on July 2nd. The general mood and assessment of Season 2 will probably stabilize in the coming days.
Perhaps a new legend will come to lift the spirits a bit:
