While Valkyrie has always been a fan-favorite character in Apex Legends thanks to her Titanfall roots, it\u2019s only in the last few seasons that she\u2019s risen up as a meta pick. Boasting a 10.4% pick rate in Season 13, the Winged Avenger is widely regarded as one the most powerful legends on the roster, with excellent mobility, disruption, and utility. As a result, she\u2019s become a staple part of the majority of team compositions in the ALGS, with almost every squad picking her in the ongoing tournament. Well, Apex players have picked up on this and are calling for the \u201cbest character in the game\u201d to be nerfed. Apex players call for \u201cbusted\u201d Valkyrie to be nerfed Players on the Apex Legends subreddit are calling for Valkyrie to be nerfed after seeing her pick rate in the ALGS, with the majority of teams using the Winged Avenger. As she\u2019s been a powerful pick for over two seasons now, it\u2019s obvious a lot of fans are bored of seeing her nonstop in their matches and at the pro level. In their opinion, her overloaded kit makes it impossible for pros not to use her, especially with the repositioning from her Ultimate being so useful in the late game. \u201cShe\u2019s the best character in the game by far, it would be surprising if any team decided not to run her,\u201d wrote one user. Others have even gone so far to call her \u201cblatantly overpowered\u201d and \u201cbusted\u201d, claiming her \u201cpassive [is better] than most characters ultimates\u201d. While the devs haven\u2019t confirmed whether the Winged Avenger is going to be nerfed, Live Balance Designer John \u2018JayBiebs\u2019 Larson did reveal back in May that they were waiting until after the ALGS to make any significant buffs or nerfs. So, for now, it\u2019ll just be a case of waiting for the event to be over and seeing if Respawn decides to reduce her power in Season 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends players want Valkyrie nerfed ASAP after her \u201cbusted\u201d ALGS pick rate Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players have called for \u201coverpowered\u201d Valkyrie to be nerfed after seeing her extremely high pick rate in the ALGS.
