Since her release, Ash has been a fan-favorite character in Apex Legends thanks to her Titanfall roots and aggressive kit. However, in recent seasons, the Incisive Instigator\u2019s pick rate has been slowly dropping, so Respawn decided to implement some major buffs to her Tactical in the Sun Squad Collection Event on March 28. While these have resulted in her pick rate spiking upwards by 10%, she hasn\u2019t broken into the competitive meta just yet. Well, FURIA pro HisWattson spoke about Ash on stream and explained why she isn\u2019t a viable option in the ALGS even after her Tactical improvements. HisWattson says \u201cone dimensional\u201d Ash isn\u2019t viable in ALGS For HisWattson, the biggest problem is that Ash is \u201cone-dimensional\u201d and her abilities are \u201cnot multi-purpose\u201d so it\u2019s hard to justify fitting her into a team comp over a stronger Legend. The FURIA pro did make it clear that one-dimensional characters like Fuse do have a role in competitive play, but they have to be \u201cf***ing insane\u201d at their specific job. Unfortunately, in his opinion, there is no scenario in an ALGS match where Ash is ever going to be \u201cOP\u201d in her current state. So, it\u2019s usually better to opt for a more well-rounded Legend that can bring significantly more value to the squad. With no \u201cniche\u201d or standout feature in her kit that separates her from the roster, it\u2019s unlikely Ash will be breaking into the ALGS meta anytime soon. Despite this, that doesn\u2019t mean she\u2019s a bad pick for Ranked or casual play, as her Tactical, Passive, and Ultimate all come together to create an aggressive kit that\u2019s perfect for hunting down kills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HisWattson explains why Ash isn\u2019t viable in ALGS after major buffs Respawn Entertainment\/Twitch: HisWattsonApex Legends pro Jacob \u2018HisWattson\u2019 McMillin has explained why Ash still isn\u2019t a strong enough pick for the ALGS despite receiving huge buffs to her Tactical.
