ImperialHal quits Apex Legends

One of the most popular players in the competitive scene of Apex Legends and, of course, in the content creation of this wonderful video game, ImperialHal announced his retirement from the game due to mental health issues.

Nowadays, it is very common to see different players decide to retire due to mental health issues. This can be caused by the stress or anxiety that professional esports players competing at the highest level are subjected to.

On the other hand, since the arrival of Revelry (the current season of the game) several months ago, Apex Legends has been presenting different problems in the servers that undoubtedly, affect the players’ quality of life. In addition, cheaters have increased recently, so many players are getting tired of the game’s current state, and ImperialHal is one of them.

ImperialHal announces his departure from Apex Legends

Last April 26, ImperialHal announced his departure from Apex Legends, citing mental health issues, which, according to the player, worsened due to the game’s current state.

As we can see in the Tweet, ImperialHal references that he currently feels he is at his “lowest” point. In addition, the player points out that his performance had dropped in recent months due to the mental health issues he has recently presented.

It’s no secret to anyone that the game’s current state is worrying; server connection errors, map bugs, and cheats are increasing, and Respawn still hasn’t found a way to combat them. While the developers promised to fix the problems, they also recently suffered a DDOS attack on the servers, worsening the situation.

In addition to ImperialHal, other players, such as Mac “Albralelie” Beckwith and Eric “Snip3down” Wrona, have mentioned that the game was in its “worst state” since launch. They further alleged that they feel Respawn is completely ignoring the game’s problems, as we encounter more and more bugs and cheats in every game.
