The Spellbound Collection Event dropped in-game on January 10. Alongside themuch-coveted Seer Heirloom, it also droppedPrivate Matches in Apex Legendsfor the first time.
However, players have quickly realized that some changes made did not feature in the update’spatch notes.
Specifically, Season 7 legend Horizon hasreceived a stealth nerf,with her Gravity Lift Tactical now giving a serious accuracy penalty.
While some praised the weakening of one of Apex’s strongest legends, others were frustrated by significant balancing adjustments being omitted from the patch notes.

Siding with the latter was ImperialHal, who blasted the devs for the changes.
In particular, he expressed his unhappiness with the community fordemanding changes,claiming they simply struggled to play with and against Horizon.
“One of the few legends with an insane skill gap praised being nerfed since they couldn’t utilize it properly,” hesaid. Truly (embarrassing to see), oh well.”

Debating the issues with OXG Esports’ Hill, hejokedthat players prefer legends who “play the game for you”.
He evenquippedthat it might be time to retire and start a family as a result of the nerf to Horizon.
We highly doubt that the changes will push one of the best Apex players in the world into retirement, but it’s clear that Hal thinks Respawn could have handled Horizon better.
Currently, there’s speculation that the changes were an error or aSeason 16change which slipped out early. The devs have not commented publicly on the changes as of the publication of this article.
