Over 200 Apex Legends QA testers have been abruptly laid off by EA

On Tuesday, EA abruptly laid off over 200 quality assurance testers at their LA office Baton Rouge, who were primarily working on their free-to-play battle royale Apex Legends. This news comes from a report by Kotaku which says the layoffs happened over a last-minute Zoom call, according to three of their sources. EA later confirmed the news, calling the layoffs part of their “ongoing global strategy” to expand the “distribution of our Apex Legends testing team.”

The minutia of Apex Legends' meta is always shifting and it isn't always as easy as it could be to find out who you should be picking when someone like Octane or Wraith has already been chosen in your pre-game lobby. While it's always worth checking out our Apex Legends tier list (if you're not bothered about who you're playing as), the latest Apex Legends pick rates can often provide some useful information - particularly if you're trying to climb the Apex Legends ranks. Looking at what's going on at higher ranks right now, it's becoming clear that a new legend meta is on the horizon.

What do we mean by this? Well, while the most popular legends aren't changing just yet, Apex Legends' defensive conjurer Catalyst has seen a relative boom in popularity at this battle royale's higher ranks. As shown by Apex Legends Status, her Platinum rank pick rate is up 72%, her Diamond rank pick rate has shot up around 150%, and her pick rate at Master rank and above has risen almost 250% recently.

For a legend that has been rather unpopular since her inception and addition to Apex Legends, this drastic increase in popularity is exciting - and it could be a sign that a major shift in the legend meta is coming.

Apex Legends Season 17 LTM leak removes one unique thing about this BR

When you actually stop and take a moment to look at all the best battle royale games out there, Respawn Entertainment's Apex Legends is unique in more ways than one. Not only does it offer battle royale players a competitive Ranked mode, unlike Warzone 2, it's also one of the few battle royale shooters to incorporate the unique character abilities you see in hero shooters like Overwatch 2. However, a rumoured Season 17 LTM might just be stripping this shooter of what makes it unique - while also throwing an overwhelming number of variables at players too.

Now, before we get stuck into what this rumoured Season 17 LTM is all about, we just want to say that we're not sure this leak is accurate; however, it does present us with an interesting topic of discussion when it comes to just how far Respawn Entertainment should push the boundaries when it comes to alternative game modes in Apex Legends.

Anyway, onto the alleged Season 17 LTM leak. According to Apex Legends leaker 'Osvaldatore' - someone who has seen sporadic accuracy with datamined content and unverified rumours over the years - has shared some information regarding Rumble, an LTM we could very well see arrive in Apex Legends' Season 17 update.
