Apex Legends characters that need the biggest buffs in Season 9 Respawn EntertainmentSeason 9 of Apex Legends is now just around the corner, and while the talk will all be about the new Legend, there are a few existing characters that need some attention. Here are four Legends who really need some big improvements in the new season. Outside of Horizon, who\u2019s possibly the best Legend in the game right now, a lot of the new post-launch Legends have typically underperformed to start with, before some buffs were later added to improve them. Despite this, there are a number of new Legends that are still not competitive enough, and if they\u2019re not given some meaningful buffs, will be left even further behind as new characters arrive. All four of our picks for the most in-need are post-launch Legends, starting with Season 6\u2019s perpetually underpowered Rampart. Rampart It will be no surprise whatsoever to see Rampart the first name on this list, and we\u2019re sure she\u2019s the first name on Respawn\u2019s list too. The latest data Respawn have shared indicates that Rampart has the worst overall win rate. And it\u2019s not just the data, players simply know that Rampart isn\u2019t versatile enough in gameplay. It\u2019s not that Rampart is useless \u2013 it\u2019s that she\u2019s useless in a lot of situations. If you can get set up in a strong position, and get Shiela and Amped Cover up, it\u2019s a powerful combination. But with these situations so rare, Rampart needs some help to make her more viable, more often. Crypto Fans of Crypto will say that he\u2019s one of the best Legends, once you \u2018get good\u2019 with him. While this may be true, it doesn\u2019t change the fact that players are simply not going to pick a Legend that doesn\u2019t have that instant satisfaction. It\u2019s true that if you can work as a team, and carefully consider when to use Crypto\u2019s abilities, it\u2019s possible to gain a serious advantage over enemy squads. Extra information on enemy whereabouts is always a positive. But, the advantages really end there, and so some more functionality for the drone would be the perfect solution. One fan-made idea was to allow Crypto to see how many squads were in the area by checking banners around the arena, another good option. Respawn have said they want to do something with Crypto in the future, but aren\u2019t certain yet what it will be. Fuse Released in Season 8, there were high-hopes for Fuse\u2019s kit after seeing all the trailers. On paper, a big firebomb, constant grenades and a super-accurate arm launcher sounded like a deadly new character. Unfortunately, Fuse has slipped down into Rampart territory. With the second-worst overall win rate, Fuse clearly isn\u2019t living up to the hype. Read More: Apex devs respond to Trident bugs – It\u2019s hard to pin exactly why this is, as it\u2019s still early stages, but we know that situational Legends with a lack of mobility (just like Rampart) always struggle in the meta. Fuse will definitely require some buffs, and Respawn have confirmed he will be getting a boost \u2013 but we don\u2019t know what it is yet. Loba Finally, we have to mention Loba. The problem with Loba isn\u2019t actually that her abilities aren\u2019t strong, it\u2019s that they don\u2019t work. Specifically, Loba\u2019s Tactical, Burglar\u2019s Best Friend, is just far too buggy to be reliable. So really, all Loba needs is her tactical to work as intended, and she\u2019ll instantly be a much more popular pick. Her ultimate, Black Market Boutique, is already very powerful, and the buff allowing infinite ammo to be looted is perfect. If the devs really want to make Loba even stronger, they could also reduce the animation time after using the teleport, allowing players to get gun-up faster. The good news is that the devs have confirmed their current fixes for Loba are a night and day difference. That\u2019s the four Legends we\u2019d love to see drastically improved in Season 9 \u2013 but everyone has their own favorite character they\u2019d love to see improved. Respawn will be hard at work trying to perfect the balance for future seasons, so the Season 9 patch notes will be a very interesting read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
