Twitter is a funny place where one can find all kinds of people waiting to give their opinion. However, often many users end up taking offense to what others have to say. An Apex Legends developer recently came under the crosshair of many in the Twitterati after his attempt at cracking a joke online.
Someone posted an image of the poster from the blockbuster movie John Wick where Keanu Reeves was surrounded by countless weapons. In the caption, the user asked people for all their opinions that might land them in a situation similar to that in the image. Naturally, the Apex Legends developer wanted to join in on the fun.
Respawn Entertainment recently buffed Wraith, making it one of the best legends in Season 9. Wraith finally made the meta after a couple of seasons. Therefore, not many players would want it to receive yet another nerf. Clearly, talking about nerfing Wraith would have made for the perfect response to the tweet.

Hilariously enough, at least Jason’s tweet achieved the purpose it was meant to. The developer actually felt like he was John Wick from the image as he was suddenly in the crosshair of hundreds of Apex players.
I'm not sure how this wasn't an obvious joke but I guess I have to say it? 200+ comments tho definitely made me feel like Wick in the picture! https://t.co/bkmhO7UyJh

Following his clarification, it is safe to say that Wraith is going to remain one of the best legends in the ongoing season. Moreover, the legend’s new prowess has impressed fans so much that the developers will think twice before nerfing Wraith anytime in the near future.
