Apex Legends: The 10 Best Legends In Season 5, Ranked

Bangalore doesn't have a set of abilities that will wow or surprise you, but boy is she valuable. She's the prototype for players who want a more traditional first-person shooter experience and her smoke can help get her team out of some sticky situati

Big names in gaming like apex legends Bunny hop Legends , FIFA , Fortnite , League of Legends , Valorant , Rainbow Six Siege , and more have a worldwide following with servers everywhere except Africa. As an African gamer, I find it insulting and hypocritical that these companies force us to read Black Lives Matter messages every time we start a game, yet most black people aren't allowed to get the best experience from

It's ridiculous that publishers don't realize the potential of African gamers. This untapped market could drastically increase their revenue and add to the already booming esports industry. African gamers relentlessly soldier on despite being shunned by publishers, and are at a constant disadvantage. If they had a level playing field, they could easily give other teams in the world a run for their mo

Though relatively quiet, because of its close proximity to Labs, Hydro Dam and Repulsor, it’s common for squads that have looted those areas to move to Swamps to see what else they can find. It’s also very easy to get separated from teammates here, so keep an eye one anot

When it comes to his age it's clear he's lived as a synthetic shinobi for 313 years, but it isn't known how old he was when he was transformed. An estimated guess puts him anywhere between 333 to 348 years old. Then again he's resurrected over and over again, so does that all count as one l

Apex Legends is alive and kicking with its recent Season 5 update and players are getting accustomed to the new meta. Plenty of the legends have received boosts while others have had their powers ner

Quite frankly, I think it's disgusting that these publishers have the nerve to put Black Lives Matter banners on their games when most black people aren't allowed to play them without issues. To me, it's the modern-day equivalent of a "No Africans Allowed" sign. African gamers aren't asking for special treatment, We just want to be treated the same as everybody e

Once players acquire a firm grasp of Loba's abilities they will be capable of playing equally as an attack and support character. Eye for Quality is perfect for scoping out loot for teammates and marking on the map to fully kit out the player's whole team. It is perfect for saving a team precious time when looting, as they can just move towards building with a high amount of loot rather than picking buildings at ran

Mirage has quickly ascended to be the poster child of the game in many ways, thanks in large part to his over the top personality. It should come as no surprise that he received a brand new skin in Season 5 that's pretty stel

Respawn Entertainment has done a good job of keeping the game interesting and even added to a brand new legend named Loba. With all of the recent changes, players are wondering which legends they should use in Seaso

Many of the legends in the game have rare animations that only come up ever so often, and many of them are where players can see references or easter eggs to other entertainment properties. Revenant has a rare animation tied to his Ultimate ability, where his hand is embraced by another hand then flipped over. This is a direct reference to a scene in 2016's Suicide Squad where the Enchantress embraces her human form and is a visual representation of the physical manifestation the witch has when she takes over the body of June Mo

Passive Ability- Eye For Quality: Eye for quality is a perfect ability because it will automatically highlight any nearby epic and legendary pieces of loot. Players will even be able to see this loot through walls if they are within ra

The lack of servers creates a vicious cycle. Publishers don't have African servers because they think there aren't enough players, but without servers, how is the player base expected to grow? The impact of this policy has had a truly detrimental effect on the African gaming community. Many games have "World" Cups or "World" Championships, and it's evident that Africa isn't part of their "World." No matter how good African players are, there's no way of getting involved in many of the sanctioned leagues without moving to another contin

The largest black community lives in Africa and has a long history of being treated as second-class, whether it's colonialism, the slave trade, or gaining access to world-class events. The stereotype of Africa being poor, dirty, and underdeveloped is still strong up to this day with no sign of change on the horizon. Yes, some places are less developed, but in the last few decades, the continent has made massive strides in terms of technology and has seen incredible growth. Despite all the progress, most video game publishers don't have a single server on the continent, and exclude Africa from their events complet
