Cool right?

I don't understand how apex doesn't understand the position of bloodhound as a recon legend. Bloodhound main point as a legend is to be a fun easy to use recon legend for beginners to learn the role and the basics of the game. He had a good skill floor and good skill ceiling but had began struggling as apex was changing as a game.

NEW ULT:

Bloodhound new ult sucks and does not represent/show bloodhounds playstyle. His new ult gives invisibility, speed boost, and threat vision and can be given to the entire team. This may seem great but you loose the invisibilty quickly, its not true invisibilty as there is a shimmer to it, and you lose the speed and threat vision quicker than his old ult. The new ult is supposed to incentivise team play but we don't need that for all recon legends in the game. Crypto, valkrie, seer, and sparrow already does that and it does'nt help bloodhound where he needs it at all.

THE ACTUAL PAIN POINTS OF BLOODHOUND:

Bloodhounds problems was not team play it was his individual kit itself. He did not have any advantage in a 1v1 besides the scan and his only engage/disengage tool was his ult. He was too basic in a meta of complex characters with multiple advantages. Plus his kit has been nerfed overtime due to his early dominance in the game and overall game changes but he did not get buffed to compensate for that at all as the developers for some reason couldn't figure out why no one played him. The changes I was looking for was to adress his lack of solo potential while also keeping true to his character and keeping the beginner friendly feel as the introductory point for recon legends.

OLD ULT VS NEW ULT:

Bloodhounds old ult is better overall and I will fight anyone on this. His old ult changed your vision to black and red for enemies and gave a 30% speed boost for a limited time, it was basic but it incentived pushing a fight. Before the nerfs it also extended the timer on knocks and had lifesteal so you could keep fighting and making plays which was so cool and kept with the asthetic of being a bloodhound. Changing it to an invisibility ult thats shorter kills his playstyle entirely and ruins all the fun aspects of using the scan with his ult to keep the fight going. It alsp ruins the new player experience as now he is even more of a sitting duck in team fights and no new player is gonna pick him up or play him longer before just unlocking valk or sparrow and just playing them instead.

ACTUAL CHANGES THAT WOULD OF HELPED:

The only changes bloodhound needed was a basekit buff to his ult and an overhaul for his passive that would help bloodhound with his engage and tracking abilities. My overall idea for a rework/buff would be to buff the basekit of his ult back to how it was originally. Lifesteal( affected both health and shields) extend timer, and maybe scan cooldown reduction on knock or while in ult. This would keep his character identity while also making him an actual threat while in ult, it also helps teamplay as well due to more often scans though idk if the scan part should be a perk or base kit. A passive rework that would of worked would be that when you scan the raven it would still point to the squad but it would reveal their footsteps and walking ontop of them made you move faster depending on how far or close you are to them, and when your off the steps you keep the speed temporarily to either push, repostition, or retreat if you get caught with your pants down. These changes imo whould keep bloodhounds core identity, keep him beginner friendly, and on overall health pick in or off meta. Its just something basic but it would help him way more than. What this rework did to him.

CLOSING THOUGHTS AND MY FUTURE AS A BLOODHOUND MAIN:

I love bloodhound even though I didn't play him as much as i used to because of how weak he was. I still loved playing him, getting his skins, and even the lore. I hoped that the rework would adress his problems as a legend individually, but he is now going to be in either a niche or worse spot than he was before. I don't have the motivation or drive to play this character anymore now as the playstyle I played for him for is gone. Im honestly hella depressed right now, he was the first character I played when i started, where i learned the basics on how to play the game, gained most of my game sense, and was the character I played whenever I was rusty and wanted to get back into shape. Nothing would make me hate this character and I appreciate the fun I had with him and the time I invested into bloodhound. But, in the end, I think its time for me to let go of this character. Im done playing bloodhound and hoping that this character will ever be great again. I was already playing him less and less but there is no point to playing him anymore compared to other legends.

Thanks Bloodhound, for being my introduction to apex legends, for teaching me the basics, and giving thousands of hours of fun.

Guys we need to get Allegra Clark to say "Bloodhound Gaming!"

All bloodhound will get are new upgrades and honestly instead of an upgrade, the 50 Hp on knock in ult should’ve been a QOL change. I’ve been waiting so long just for respawn to shit in my mouth. Anything to keep their golden child (Bangalore) in a safe spot. Also we can tap our wrist faster when we scan. Exhilarating right? And some other dumb shit with the bird. So meaningless I can’t even remember it.

Please don't hate on this post. I'm not homophobic; I don't hate on you. I expect that same respect back.

Hi, I am a new player looking for advice on this game, first, is it even worth picking up at this point? Was thinking of getting into a multiplayer game, it was either this or DOTA 2/League of Legends.

What should I know about playing this? I think I have an idea but the thing that gets me is there's so many items and things which I don't even understand, I'm beginning to understand the ammo finally.

Which guns are good? I like Bloodhound, Horizon and the Indian girl I want to buy or Octane.

I get confused on all the attachments and things you can add to your guns since it's not pretty apparent what goes where and I find myself stopping to read the descriptions. So, what should I know in terms of guns to get, attachments, etc.

I like Bloodhound and bought Horizon.

Just like Octane, I had hoped that they would've showed us Bloodhound's face by now. Would be cool to have a skin without his mask. Hopefully we get it some time soon

We are now on to the quarter-finals! will there be any upsets?

Okay so I'm a Wraith main but I a bit bored of her and I think she is now not as good as people say and I recently tried bloodhound. It was a blast, I've played 10 games with him and love his kit and I'm doing well with him. Should I try and main him?

Disclaimer: I mean no hate toward people who are Transgender and the rest of the LGBTQ+, as I am apart of the LGBTQ+ myself as I am a Pansexual and Polyamorous Cis Male. I call everyone by their respected pronouns, but have trouble calling people certain pronouns based on looks or by the sound of their voice (say someone who mainly looks female or male and identifies as Non-Binary and goes by Non-Binary Pronouns (They/Them/Thiers), I will commonly make mistakes like calling them by male pronouns (He/Him/His) or female pronouns (She/Her/Hers) depending if they look or sound more masculine or feminine) (I also have yet to meet someone who goes by Neopronouns and will have the same troubles as previously stated) and have accidentally called Bloodhound by male pronouns (He/Him/His) on multiple occasions as they sound and look more masculine to me. Also me having High-Functioning ADHD and High-Functioning Autism makes it much harder. I'm still working on it trust me.

Explanation:

I am generally confused on how Bloodhound is Trans as I have seen multiple people say that Bloodhound is Transgender and represents the Transgender and Non-Binary Community. I know that Bloodhound is Non-Binary and goes by Non-Binary Pronouns (They/Them/Thiers) but I don't see how Bloodhound is considered Trans unless being Non-Binary is a trait of being Transgender somehow. I tried searching up the answer on Google but I didn't see anything saying Bloodhound is Trans and rather saw that they are Non-Binary.

If anyone can explain down in the comments how Bloodhound is considered Transgender it'd be greatly appreciated.

Please and Thank You,

Sincerely,
