Apex Legends players are upset at the state of Conduit in Season 20, claiming her ability is intended to protect bad teammates.
Apex Legends Season 20 delivered all new skins, a new battle pass, and some massive changes to the popular battle royale.
Players have been absolutely loving these changes, claiming that no longer looking for randomized ground loot, and having to upgrade your shield makes the game more fair.
Still, despite this, there’s usually always something that developers can improve, and Apex players felt that Respawn needed to take a serious look at the shield-replenishing Legend Conduit.
Apex Legends fans claim Conduit’s ability is way too good
One player had simply had enough of thinking they had won a gunfight, only to round a corner and find them back to full shield:
“I am so sick of losing to Conduit Q,” they said in a Reddit post.
“Please, rework or just nerf the hell out of Conduit Q, it’s actually so ridiculous,” they continued to rant.

Other players agreed, even Conduit mains, and claimed that the ability allowed bad players to make free mistakes without any consequences.
“Conduit had to be intended as bad teammate protection. The amount of people I’ve saved or have seen saved by conduit Q is a joke. You’re basically guaranteed a free mistake,” said one player.
The community struggled to find a solution that would make the ability fair but eventually came to the conclusion that the best fix would be to require Conduit to have Line-of-Sight on a player to activate “Radiant Transfer”:
“Idk why they don’t just make it so it can’t go through walls anymore. That would fix so much”.
Still, only time will tell whether Respawn implements these changes, or whether they deem that the Legends kit is working as intended to allow players to make more mistakes and play the game more freely.
