Apex Legends fans call for rework as \u201cdecimated\u201d legend is barely used anymore Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players want Respawn to rework a character that everyone used to love but has been \u201cdecimated\u201d by nerfs over the last few seasons. Over the last few years, Apex Legends\u2019 roster of characters has undergone some massive changes. While the likes of Pathfinder, Wraith, and Bloodhound continue to go strong at the top of the meta, the same can\u2019t be said for others. Valkyrie was, at one point, the most-popular legend in the futuristic battle royale. Her Skyward Dive ultimate was the popular ability in the game, allowing teams to quickly rotate and also get off a quick scan of enemy locations. However, the Winged Avenger has slipped way down the pecking order due to a raft of nerfs. According to players like WanderWut, they believe she has actually been \u201cdecimated\u201d in recent seasons. \u201cRespawn decimated her with nerfs and with items that make her pointless as a strategic character choice for teams. She needs some love Respawn, at this point, it feels like a rework should be in order,\u201d they said. \u201cMake her jetpack work like it does In the trailers, enough said. An awkward 10-second hover is just lame,\u201d one player suggested. \u201cSpeed change would make her OP but it\u2019s really the only way to fix her jetpack and set her apart. Or maybe allow her to do tricks like banshees in Halo,\u201d another added. \u201cFrom the few times I use her the rockets she shoots feel useless. I feel like it\u2019s easier to dodge than a bang ult but it\u2019s a tighter spread,\u201d another player commented, suggesting she should have \u201cbetter visibility\u201d when using her Ultimate. \u201cShe needs a new tactical. No need for her to have stunning rockets. A smaller team movement ability would be cool,\u201d another added. Those claims are backed up by stats too. As per ApexLegendStatus, Valkyrie has slipped into the bottom 10 when it comes to usage. She sits with a 1.9% pick rate, which is on par with the likes of Crypto and Gibraltar. It remains to be seen if Respawn will hear players\u2019 calls and rework Valkyrie, but it would be nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
