ImperialHal explains why Catalyst is too strong in Apex Legends pro matches Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends pro Philip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen has explained why Catalyst is such a broken pick in the ALGS alongside Seer. Despite appearing underwhelming to the majority of pros shortly after her release, Catalyst has established herself as a top-tier Legend in Season 16 pro play. While the Defensive Conjurer only holds a 3% overall pick rate among the standard player base, her kit is elevated when used in a top-tier competitive environment. She\u2019s particularly effective when combined with the Ambush Master Seer and his incredibly powerful Ultimate. Speaking during a recent stream, ImperialHal decided to explain why Catalyst is such a deadly pick and why she\u2019s a staple Legend in nearly every pro comp. ImperialHal reveals why Catalyst is so powerful in ALGS According to Hal, as Catalyst is such a strong \u201cdefensive character\u201d it\u2019s nearly impossible to play aggressively and take gunfights in and out of the zone. To succeed, teams have to make sure their positioning is perfect in the early game as the majority of skirmishes are \u201cmirror matchups and there are no advantages\u201d. The meta right now is \u201cSeer Ult versus Seer Ult\u201d and there are very few opportunities to make aggressive outplays as an enemy team can track your exact movement using scans. Catalyst\u2019s wall provides a huge amount of safety for pro squads, especially in endgame circles where they\u2019d usually be exposed without the cover. While Hal has acknowledged the power of the Catalyst Seer comp, he\u2019s made it very clear that he doesn\u2019t enjoy playing it. The TSM star recently voiced his frustration with the character, arguing that the strategy relies completely on positioning and he\u2019d rather play nerfed Horizon because at least he\u2019d be able to take on opponents head-on. For now, it\u2019s clear Catalyst is top-tier in pro play, but we\u2019ll have to wait and see whether Respawn decides to lower her power, or maybe even hit Seer with another set of nerfs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
