NICKMERCS explains why Apex Legends needed the Control LTM
NICKMERCS shares his thoughts on why Apex Legends needed the brand new Control LTM coming in Season 12.
Apex Legends Season 12 is almost underway, with the update dropping on February 8, some lucky content creators were actually able to play the new Control LTM early.
These content creators were also able to stream, record, and share their thoughts while playing, which gave fans an insight into what they thought of the mode. NICKMERCS seemed to really enjoy Control, giving his explanation of why Respawn’s battle royale needed the new LTM.
NICKMERCS has become more and more involved in the Apex Legends community since he started grinding Ranked Leagues back in Season 10.
Now, the streamer is widely known for playing Apex, even creating his own tournaments for the pro players and aspiring to be one himself.
In his latest video, NICKMERCS was able to play the Control LTM early with other streamers and content creators, giving his thoughts on the new mode.
For those that don’t know, the new mode is a team-based, objective mode with unlimited respawns. Teams will battle it out for control of three different areas, making for some pretty entertaining gameplay.
NICKMERCS clearly enjoyed his time playing the mode, as he stated that:
“This is by far, like, an LTM that makes sense, it’s something very very different, also something very popular with other games…it’s definitely something they needed, the pace is crazy I won’t lie to you.”
The pace is completely different to the standard battle royale mode, as players can respawn, leading to more risky pushes and aggressive plays.
Not only did NICKMERCS get the chance to play the new LTM early, but he and the others who were involved in the early playtest also got to use the brand new Legend Mad Maggie.
