Respawn Will Ban "Legendary" Players From Apex Legends

By Adam Bankhurst

Respawn's attack on "Piggy-Backing" in Apex Legends and will ban players who use the technique which implies that players do not actually participate in a match, but use their teammates to "place them in a good position and ride faster to level ".

Jayfresh, the Respawn community leader, asked Reddit to update the issues the team is currently working on for Apex Legends, including the aforementioned Piggy-Backing.

According to Respawn, Piggy-Backing is "when a player releases other players from the team to place them in a good position and to level up faster but does not actually participate in the match. [meaning they never collect a weapon, fire a shot, don’t deal any damage, etc]. "

Respawn has investigated the number of matches affected by this behavior and felt that it is becoming increasingly worrisome to justify "the introduction of a temporary ban on players who adopt a piggyback behavior and that extreme cases could lead to a permanent ban ".

It is unclear when these bans will begin, but Respawn wanted to give its base of players a look before leaving the Banhammer.

The Respawn update also tackled the problems of recording hits, slowdowns at the beginning of matches, audio problems, PS4 failures after update 1.0.8 and more.

Respawn has also recently discussed its plans to update and if it is "100% committed to the long-term growth of Apex Legends", it values ​​the health of its team and puts "emphasis on the quality of rather than novelty or speed of publication. " "

That said, it revealed that we were going to witness the revelation of Apex Legends Season 2 to EA Play during E3.
