A developer for Apex Legends came out with an explanation for why legend Revenant will not receive a buff next season despite plenty of requests from the community.

Senior game designer for Respawn Entertainment, Daniel Klein, answered several questions on Reddit about upcoming changes to the game and what to expect. Some questions revolved around Revenant and what the developer's plans for the legend are. The simple answer was there are none.

Revenant is in a strange spot where, if used properly, he can be very dominant, but on the flip side, if not used properly, he feels extremely weak. Players want Revenant to be a more stable legend that can consistently compete with the highest tier legends.

Klein explained that the main reason they don't have plans to buff him is because of the tightrope he's walking on. If the proper time and care do not go into Revenant, the scales can tip far too heavy in his favor, which will anger the rest of the community.

Klein stated, "His playstyle is what we call sharp: as in, success and failure are keenly felt, and when his tactical and ultimate work, they work so well they make the enemy MORE frustrated than they make Rev & his team happy. That's a dangerous pattern. He absolutely should be getting buffs, but we didn't have the time to find the right buffs."

Unfortunately for fans of Revenant, they'll have to wait a bit longer to see their legend buffed up and find his place in highest tier.

Aside from Revenant, be sure to follow Pathfinder's lore in the newly announced book Pathfiner's Quest and keep up with all the bug fixes.
