Apex Legends’ ‘Mr. CEO’ ImperialHal might be done with the game, and fans are worried for him.
The past few months have brought nothing but sadness to Apex Legends pros as they have been tired of the meta. Season after season, they complained about how the meta kept changing, making some characters overpowered compared to others. And with scrims, ALGS, and other tournaments around the corner, this has caused havoc. But it’s not that the devs did not take it into consideration, as they kept revamping the game whenever possible. Still, it did not prove satisfactory, now making one of the most important players of the game call quits.
Will TSM ImperialHal ever return to Apex Legends again?

With the massive frustration kicking in, Phillip Dosen, aka ImperialHal, posted a Tweet on his account. On April 25, he said, “I will be playing very little Apex going forward, I think I’m at an all-time low with my mental with having to deal with the state of Apex + performance is not helping either. Hope you guys understand.”
Hal’s Tweet came in right after he kept laying down issues in Apex Legends for weeks. He spoke about them during multiple Twitch streams and Tweets and hoped for better days to come. But well, it looked like the ball never landed in the CEO’s court, leading him to take a break. His breaking point chimed after Hal lost a couple of matches in Realm, the new competitive mode of Apex Legends.
Moreover, a clip also surfaced showcasing Hal with extreme rage as he was disappointed in his teammates not listening to his comms. This led to their team losing out on easy points, let alone ranking low on the table. Looking at Dosen’s frustration, the entire Apex community extended their support.

Plus, top streamers also tuned in. They dropped comments like, “realm is god awful quality and scrims are the epitome of competitive apex right now. sadly, this game is dying. in every aspect as well. i’m done saying “next season will be the best one”. sad but true,” “Mental health first. Feel better soon dude!!” “Playing Apex = ZERO MENTAL HEALTH” and more. So, here’s what the others had to say.
It’s not you Hal, it’s Apex. I think it’s time has come, & we must move on. I hate to say it but 🤷🏻♂️
why care so much when the Devs obviously don’t.

It's wild to me that they can ignore the state of their game for this long and still not say anything about it, but are very quick to post new events and legend trailers.
Hope the mental gets better, the game ain't worth losing it over, it's just unplayable.

Honestly, take care of yourself, man. We understand. Hopefully, with you and sweet not playing as much, it'll bring some kind of attention to the devs that they need a lot of shit to figure out. We'll be here with you regardless.

Taking a break will be the best thing you could do. You will come back stronger.

No need to ever apologize for expressing how you feel. You're human dude, we all experience anxiety/stress with jobs. Shit's not enjoyable and stressing you out atm. Def OK to take a step back when needed and recollect yourself. Your community will always be there for you.
