Apex Legends Horizon pick rate recovering after accidental nerf

Do you remember that hidden Apex Legends Horizon nerf Respawn Entertainment snuck into the battle royale's Spellbound update earlier this month?

The developer actually confirmed that it had "rolled out a fix" to correct the issue via the official Respawn Entertainment social media account on January 13.
