Daniel Klein, chief game designer at Respawn Entertainment, suggested that a Loba aficionado might come to Apex Legends soon, but that High Society Thief is currently in a “very good” situation.
Added in the fifth season, Loba may have had less impact on the Apex Legends meta than some of his colleagues. She is not necessarily weak, but it is difficult to really classify her as a revolutionary legend in the Apex 7th season goal.
Black Market Boutique’s chandelier allowed her to become a significant contributor to her teams, taking her out of the increasingly short period she was in during season six.
However, his relative mediocrity when compared to some of the game’s strongest characters – Wraith, Gibraltar and Bloodhound – naturally led his fans to ask for a buff.
Loba has one of the greatest personalities in Apex Legends, even though she is not one of the best legends.
One Redditor, ‘ApexFan12 ′, suggested a small Loba buff to Daniel Klein, Respawn’s Lead Game Designer. Klein can often be found active on Reddit, interacting and responding to Battle Royale fans.
“You know how Pathfinder’s cooldown is based on how far it goes,” the Redditor said, “I was wondering if there’s any way for you to do the same thing with Loba, where her tactical cooldown is based on how far away her bracelet goes … Ha I’ve been many times when, accidentally, I played right in front of me and had to wait 30 seconds to reload. “
The suggestion seemed to please Klein, who replied: “I could definitely do that! It can also just reduce overall time. I think that the pre and post-use animations also need a little tightening. The problem is that she is very good now. I’ll let you rest for a patch or two. “
Klein’s reply and suggestion from the Redditor, in full.
Responding to another user about simply making the bracelet travel faster in the air, Klein described that chandelier as a “last resort”.
“This would require some work on the visual effect to make it look beautiful and has the greatest risk of negatively affecting combat readability,” he said. “Point taken in the beautiful arrival animation; perhaps most of our shortening needs to be in the takeoff animation. As I said, however, this is something experimental that we are still testing and there is a good chance it will not be released if it is not healthy for the game. “
Daniel Klein’s response to other suggestions from the buff Loba.
Klein’s comment that they will “let it rest” suggests that the change, if it comes, is likely to fall after the start of season 8. It is fair to wait and see how Loba is affected by the introduction of Fuse and the balance adjustments that will come with the launch of a new season.
Excluding any delays, season 8 is scheduled to arrive at Apex Legends on February 2.
