Apex Legends Season 12 was released on February 8 and not only did it signify tons of new content for fans to enjoy but it also gave the game its 20th legend, Mad Maggie. The Rebel Warlord from Salvo was a smash hit to begin the season as she shook up the meta and became the third most-used Legend just behind Octane and Wraith. But since then, she has seen a steady decline in popularity dropping down to 12th place, raising concerns for fans. Apex Legends players call for Mad Maggie buffs amidst popularity decline It\u2019s normal for new Legends to drop in popularity a few weeks after their release. As time goes on, players either get bored or find that the kit and abilities aren\u2019t as good as others, which leads to questions pertaining to their place in the meta. That\u2019s where Reddit user Supercomfyplanet on the official Apex Legends subreddit comes in, as with that in mind, they questioned Mad Maggie\u2019s place in the meta. \u201cDo you still think she\u2019s balanced or in need of buffs?\u201d they asked, using a screenshot from apexlegendsstatus.com. \u201cMad Maggie is now 12th in terms of pick rate,\u201d said Supercomfyplanet. \u201cWe\u2019ve not even halfway through the season yet. do you still think she\u2019s balanced or in need of buffs?\u201d In response to this, others on the thread gave their differing thoughts. \u201cShe\u2019s only good if you\u2019re a pusher and wanna swing first,\u201d said one. Plus maybe people are playing the free champs we got.\u201d \u201cI think her ball needs to do more damage than just 5, 10, or 15 seems more reasonable,\u201d said another. Mad Maggie has dropped down in popularity by a 16.54%, going down a total of nine spots on the pick-rate list. Only time will tell if Respawn Entertainment will look to change that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends players call for Maggie buffs as Season 12 pick rate slumps Respawn EntertainmentAfter showing out early during her release in Season 12, Mad Maggie has steadily begun to drop in popularity, something that some Apex Legends players want to be changed with buffs.
