She currently stands as the third-least played legend on the roster \u2014 and falling\/ Apex Legends Season 12 introduced the latest legend on the roster, Mad Maggie. At first, she was one of the most popular picks in the season, sparking concern from players and the broader community at large. However, the legend\u2019s weaknesses have been exposed since then, and as a result, her pick rate has plummeted. As it stands, she is now the third-least played legend on the roster, with a measly 2.2% pick rate. In a bid to fix that, players are urging Respawn to take action and buff some aspects to make her more viable. The community even brainstormed ideas and discussed them in the thread to point them in the right direction. \u201cHer ultimate is a bit underwhelming sometimes, and the cooldown for the drill seems a tiny bit high,\u201d said one player. \u201cThe ultimate can be difficult to keep in a straight path due to collisions causing it to change directions.\u201d As for the tactical, they added: \u201cI would either like to see a small buff to the diameter of the drill and leave cooldown, give two drills at a time with the same CD but slightly decrease DPS, diameter, and length the drill shoots out the other side of an object.\u201d Another player disagreed about Mad Maggie\u2019s drill tactical needing buffs, claiming it\u2019s \u201cactually useful\u201d in some situations, particularly when it comes to pushing. Instead, they believe her ultimate is what needs fixing. \u201cHer ultimate is really lackluster,\u201d they said. \u201cThe speed boost it gives her is negligible. It never really disrupts a team. I think if they just re-work her ultimate, she can potentially see more play as an offensive legend.\u201d Of course, not everyone agreed that her abilities were the issue. \u201cI think she just needs to be all-around more interesting,\u201d said another player. \u201cShe needs better skins, more attention from the game, and maybe more dialogue.\u201d Either way, the fact her pick rate is plummeting further is a sign that something needs to change. Apex Legends Season 13 isn\u2019t too far away, so if changes are coming, it\u2019ll be soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends players plead for Mad Maggie buffs as play rate slides further Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players are pleading for Respawn to buff Mad Maggie after her play rate has plummeted further in Season 12.
