@HUGOwolfyy Nerf octane 4x after his buff but put this shit out LOL @Respawn @PlayApex @ApexLiveComms

We just pushed a patch that includes the following Octane changes:
🛠️ADJUSTED
-Removed 'Fortified' from Stim Surge
-Reduced the speed boost given by Stim (still an increase from pre-27.0)
Dev note: We held back an Octane nerf from 28.0 because wanted to 'wait and see' how Fuse's rework launch would impact Octane's recent spike. Recently, looking at Valkyrie, we saw that Octane's rework naturally brought her back down to earth, with little nerfing of Valkyrie required.
Over the first week of the season, Octane is still being picked and winning fights at a rate we consider unhealthy. That is the data we needed to action on nerfing what we consider the 'spikiest' elements of Octane's recent update, while preserving most of the new utility his rework brings.

The update to Ranked lobbies hybridizing Dropship and Drop Zones is now live. Here are all the details you need to know:
🛠️ADJUSTED
-All matches with 10+ Diamond players OR 1+ Master/Predator player will have Drop Zones
-Players may experience a mixture of Dropship and Drop Zone matches, particularly for Platinum players or those squadding up with Diamond+ players, as we work out the thresholds
-If your pending lobby will have Drop Zones you will see “RANKED - DROP ZONES” displayed on the match loading screen
-When loading into a Drop Zones match, the Rank Tier Display will show each player's individual Rank Tier (Dropship matches will keep the current 'Squad' version of the Rank Tier Distribution)
-Players in Masters will need to go back to the lobby and matchmake in order to requeue. We are working on a fix that will allow players to requeue as normal and will let you know when it is live
This change is now live, and we will be closely monitoring the impact on competitive integrity and matchmaking health.

Meet Punch — a macaque from a Japanese zoo with a difficult story His mother abandoned him, and the caretakers raised him by hand. Later, he was moved into an enclosure with other monkeys, but he struggled to integrate into the group. To give him some comfort, staff gave Punch a toy to replace his mother — and now he carries it everywhere. After a viral video, visitors began coming specifically to see him, but he still plays alone, holding his plush “mom” close to his chest.
