Season 14 has kicked off in Apex Legends and the community is getting stuck into all of the new content that arrived in Hunted. While the Kings Canyon map changes, level cap increase, and weapon changes were all huge additions, it\u2019s Vantage that\u2019s receiving the most attention from the player base. With a 13.3% pick rate, she\u2019s currently sitting as the most popular character in the Outlands, significantly higher than Octane\u2019s 9.7% in second place. Despite this, not everyone is sold on the Sniper Savant\u2019s power in the current meta, with ImperialHal labeling her as \u201ctrash\u201d thanks to her poor late-game. ImperialHal thinks Vantage is \u201ctrash\u201d in the late-game During a recent stream showcased by Zipp, ImperialHal was asked his opinion on Vantage and the TSM pro decided to share his thoughts on why the character isn\u2019t viable in the current meta. From his perspective, the Sniper Savant is \u201cf***ing trash\u201d in every part of a match, other than in the early game while looting. This is primarily due to her Ultimate which according to Hal, is almost impossible to use in an endgame circle without being \u201cinsta-killed\u201d. While he did take the time to praise her kit in the early stages of a game, he finalized his thoughts by saying that he thinks she\u2019s \u201cone of the worst characters\u201d in the mid to late game. Topic starts at 1:30 Of course, Vantage has only recently arrived on the roster, so there\u2019s a chance pros find a use for her in their comps at a later date. This is exactly what happened with Mad Maggie in Season 13 with countless ALGS teams picking her up, despite her being labeled as useless at release. For now, it\u2019ll just be a case of seeing if Vantage can hold on to her popularity, or whether she\u2019ll slowly descend in pick rate, similar to Newcastle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ImperialHal explains why Vantage is \u201cone of the worst characters\u201d in Apex Legends Respawn Entertainment\/TSMTSM pro player Philip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen has explained why Vantage is \u201cone of the worst characters\u201d in Apex Legends thanks to her poor mid to late-game.
