Lifeline reaches new Apex Legends low as healer\u2019s play rate plummets in Season 13 RespawnLifeline\u2019s pick rate has reached an all-time low in Apex Legends Season 13, just weeks after Respawn confirmed she wouldn\u2019t be getting any changes this season despite the decline. It\u2019s been a while since Lifeline was considered a tier-one pick in Apex Legends. The decision to remove her res shield in Season 9 proved to be a fatal nerf, and her pick rate has been in a sharp decline ever since. Despite that, though, the developers confirmed she wouldn\u2019t be getting any changes in Season 13. As a result, her pick rate has plummeted even more, and it\u2019s gotten to the point where it\u2019s reached a historic low. According to data collected by Apex Legends Status, Lifeline\u2019s pick rate is currently sitting at 3.9%. It\u2019s much lower than when it peaked at 9.5% in Season 9, and it\u2019s the lowest it\u2019s ever been since the game launched. Of course, it doesn\u2019t mean she\u2019s the least popular pick on the roster. She still scrapes in the top ten most picked legends. However, if the current trajectory continues, she\u2019ll be overtaken by Loba, Fuse, Rampart, and Gibraltar, and drop further down the list. As it stands, Lifeline\u2019s heal drone isn\u2019t particularly effective. It pales compared to some of the other utility now in the game like Newcastle\u2019s Retrieve The Wounded ability, which lets him drag downed allies to safety. So, the best thing she\u2019s got going for her at the moment is her ultimate, Care Package. However, while it can be useful, it isn\u2019t enough to convince players to pick her. It will be interesting to see how Respawn handles the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
