All this and more lands on June 20➡️ go.ea.com/d3M2B https://t.co/G5AGbVjcSLThe major change following the upcoming update is the nerf to Seer and his entire kit, paired with nerfs to the Nemesis AR. Seer's dominating presence in the meta in recent seasons had been a growing concern in the community. His ability was not merely overpowering, but it had an extreme effect of nullifying the presence and power of any other Legends put before him.The mid-season update has been carefully curated by the developer. It will introduce fresh cosmetic content into the game, yes, but it will mostly focus on the more essential part of effectively modifying Seer's kit in a balanced manner.The mid-season patch provides the following adjustments to Seer and his abilities:Passive: Heartbeat SensorRange Reduced to 50m ( was 75m )Initial Heartbeat delay significantly reducedTactical: Focus of AttentionRange Reduced to 60m ( was 75m )Firing Speed Increased ( ~30% faster )Removed Heal CancelRemoved Revive CancelRemoved Respawn Beacon Interaction InterruptScan Time Reduced to 2.5s ( was 8s )Scan once again includes a full-body highlightEnemies hit by Focus of Attention are now Slowed for 2.5sSilence Time Increased to 10s ( was 1.75 )Enemies who are silenced by Seer are now also highlighted with a threat outline to Seer and his teammates but only when they have a line of sightUltimate: ExhibitThrow Range Reduced to ~15m ( was ~50m )Removed Diamond Scan Markers on Enemy MovementExhibit will now only show the footsteps of players moving in the zoneDiamond Markers will now ONLY appear with enemy gunfire for 1.25sChanges to Seer's passive and tactical abilitiesA significant part of Seer's kit, his passive ability to literally track enemies through walls has been adjusted. Its range has been decreased and the delay in hearing a responsive heartbeat increased. The decrease in the range might seem like a small detail. However, 50m is enough for the opposing teams to be aware and look out for audio clues of Seer using his ability and respond appropriately.The character's tactical ability was subject to a number of changes in previous patches in Apex Legends. The developer has taken the community's feedback and made major changes to it. A major problem amongst professionals, and even the casual playerbase, regarding Seer's tactical was its potential to cancel healing and revives. It was a major setback and has been considered an unbalanced mechanic.ᗪ丨丂ㄒ尺丨匚ㄒ@DorkstrictSeer just got a MEGA nerf, scan is reduced in distance, usefulness and ease of use. ULT got big nerf with less accurate display and throwing distance to less then half. TACTICAL NO LONGER CANCLES ANYTHINGDo we think seer is going to be used at all in PRO league? my guess is no… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…121Seer just got a MEGA nerf, scan is reduced in distance, usefulness and ease of use.

These two prospects have been removed and replaced by other mechanics that make him useful and balanced in Apex Legends Season 17.Seer can now unleash his tactical ability more quickly. In the process, he can also slow and silence anyone in its grasp for 10s, nullifying their utility entirely. Further, the affected targets will be highlighted briefly to him and his team only when they are in direct line of sight.Changes to Seer's Ultimate abilitySeer's ultimate ability, Exhibit, has also been hit by quite a few nerfs. Its throwing range has been reduced, making it a great tool for defensive measures rather than offensive rushes. It will now only show the footsteps of players moving in its range, and diamond markers will appear against enemies who are actively firing within the ultimate's radius.These changes are significant to the constantly changing meta of Apex Legends, and will definitely bring forth fresh new faces to the meta-forming rosters.Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more Apex Legends guides and news.
