The meta of Apex Legends underwent one of its most drastic shifts in recent memory at the beginning of season 14. Big buffs, nerfs, ammo changes, and new attachments led to what feels like a completely new weapon meta, and changes to different legends and their abilities have also shaken things up.
With nerfs to Valkyrie, big buffs coming in for Newcastle, and more adjustments made here and there, it’s clear that the developers at Respawn wanted to change the game with the new season and bring characters that were some of the most and least popular picks among the player base closer to the middle. That goes double for the professional level, where Valkyrie has defined Apex and how it’s played at the highest level for about a year. And meta changes mean teams like TSM must develop new plans.
