Octane, the new legend in Apex Legends, probably had a rough start. No less than the top player Shroud wanted to see the speed junkie nerfed even before the release.
Who is Shroud? Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek is one of the most famous players in Apex Legends. He has been considered a “human aimbot” due to his enormous precision since his time in CS:GO and has played a significant role in the development of Apex Legends. For instance, the excellent gunplay can partly be credited to him.
What does Shroud have to do with Octane? Shroud was one of the few lucky ones who got to test the new legends in Apex Legends before the release. He had the most fun with Octane.
According to his own statements, he played the speed junkie to excess. But what you love, you must also let go, because Shroud realized that Octane was too overpowered.
Octane is too fast
What was Shroud’s criticism? As much as Shroud loved Octane, he had to admit that the new legend was too fast. Therefore, he recommended the developers to nerf Octane to make him a bit slower. He mentioned this during a live stream on Twitch.
What became of Shroud’s suggestion? Unfortunately, Shroud does not know how Respawn Entertainment nerfed Octane. However, he recommended a slight nerf.
According to leaks, Octane is supposed to become 30 percent faster. Whether this is already the final value will only be known when Octane arrives on the servers tonight at 6 PM.
What can Octane actually do? You can find the abilities of Octane in detail here.
What about other legends? While Shroud chatted about Octane in his stream, he also mentioned Watson. This is another legend that is rumored to be making the rounds online.
According to Shroud, it was initially planned for Watson to also appear in Season 1. Whether this is still the case will be revealed during the new season.
