The previous Apex Legends character icons.After the Season 2 update hit the live servers, players have been criticizing the latest Legend icons which they think are more of a downgrade than anything else.
In a Reddit post, user ‘TheyBeHatin’ noted that they “don’t know how [to] feel about these new faces,” seeing as some legends were seemingly given a more rounded or distorted look than their past iteration.
More users are confused by the new designs as some seem to be clear improvements over the last ones, while other legends have some people questioning their quality.

The larger legends in the game like Caustic and Gibraltar are proving to be especially jarring for some people, as it looks like the devs were trying to highlight some of their features, but some players might not be so thrilled with the change.
Regardless, if Respawn don’t think it’s worth their time to change up the icons, it should take a matter of weeks for the playerbase to get used to the new designs.
