Banglore has become less desirable in Season 8
This minor tweak to her VFX has directly made her less desirable. She is the only character in the entire roster who can effectively mask the entire team’s movement. In a Battle Royal title like Apex, it becomes quite important to have a character who can support the team. Smokes grenades play a massive role in countering the lurking third parties, who can take out two combatant teams without incurring any losses.
This is where Banglore played key role in countering the advance by laying down crucial smoke grenades. Not just that, her ultimate ability also compliments her grenades as she can call upon an airstrike in a massive area. Now that smoke grenades have become less efficient, her entire kit has suffered quite massively.
