Apex Legends' Catalyst buff is a step in the right direction

Following the revelation that Crypto isn't Apex Legends' least popular character anymore, thanks to his viability against newcomer Catalyst, Respawn Entertainment has actually buffed the aforementioned Techno Witch. Following Apex Legends' November 14 patch, Seer's Heart Seeker passive ability will no-longer track through Catalyst's Dark Veil ultimate ability. Not only this, but Catalyst's ability audio has been reduced and should be "less noisy for those nearby".

With complaints that Apex Legends' Catalyst is a "liability" when countering scans, this change is a step in the right direction. After all, we all thought Apex Legends' Catalyst is Seer's worst nightmare - and that hasn't exactly been the case. Since the Eclipse season's launch, Apex Legends has even been accused of releasing "misleading" Catalyst trailers that misrepresent the effectiveness of her tactical and ultimate abilities.

But, following the common experience in finding Apex Legends' lack of legend changes for Season 15 "frustrating", it looks like Respawn Entertainment are starting to tweak things. With any luck, these changes are just the start of improving Catalyst's ability to counter the scan meta effectively.
