Apex Legends is a welcome alternative for many disappointed Warzone players, including former pro Nickmercs. He still believes that Apex Legends is significantly better than Warzone. You can find out why he thinks so here on MeinMMO!
Who is Nickmercs? Nicolas “Nickmercs” Kolcheff is a 31-year-old pro gamer from the USA and co-owner of the FAZE clan. He has also been very active in CoD in the past and has logged many hours in Warzone. Recently, however, he was in the news for hosting a large party without COVID-19 safety measures. He is also among the highest-paid gamers.
How did he get into Apex Legends? Due to the ongoing wave of cheaters in Warzone, Nickmercs, along with other top players, left the CoD battle royale in mid-2021 and switched to Apex Legends. It appears he still enjoys it, as the top gamer recently tweeted that he still loves Apex and cites a major reason for that.
Apex Legends has a significant advantage according to Nickmercs, but not everyone sees it that way
What is the main advantage of Apex Legends? Nickmercs has been having fun playing Apex Legends for months and plays it enthusiastically. However, his main reason for enjoying the game is not the fast pace, the cool gunplay, the unique maps, or the various playable heroes with their individual skills.
Rather, according to his latest tweet, Nickmercs appreciates one thing about Apex Legends above all: The ranking system!
Because grinding this, according to Nickmercs, is incredibly fun! And indeed, a consistently functional global leaderboard is something that Warzone still lacks. In addition to the sniper plague rampant there, this is another reason for Nickmercs to stay away from Warzone and continue to play Apex Legends.
What does the community say about it? Nickmercs’ tweet received mixed reactions from his community.
For instance, the top player CouRage, who also switched from Warzone to Apex, says that Warzone doesn’t come close to Apex Legends. Streamer NiceWigg from 100 Thieves complimented him saying, “I always knew you had a good taste in games.”
However, not everyone shares Nickmercs’ opinion. Some of his fans indicated in the tweet that Warzone is much better than Apex Legends, calling it just a silly game for kids. Another user firmly believes that Nickmercs will return to Warzone soon when the promised anti-cheat and new Pacific map arrive.
