As Respawn Entertainment has made changes to the roster of characters in Apex Legends, there have been a few differences in the meta between casual players and those who operate at a higher level. Sure, there is a crossover when it comes to top characters like Pathfinder, Bloodhound, Lifeline, and Bangalore, but others are off the radar. Right now, Caustic, Ballistic, and Seer are the three least-used characters between Masters and Apex Predators, sitting with a pick rate of around 0.3% each. Caustic\u2019s drop-off has annoyed players, especially as he\u2019s been the target of nerfs over the last few updates. \u201cIt\u2019s official: Caustic is now the lowest-picked legend at high-level play. The pros got what they wanted,\u201d Redditor Zombz01 complained. However, ApexLegendsStatus has him second bottom. \u201cThe pros always get what they want and it always results in gutted characters. I\u2019m sorry for people who bought heirlooms. What a joke,\u201d another agreed. \u201cGod what a f*cking character before they nerfed him to f*ck,\u201d one player said. \u201cAccording to pros. Getting stuck in gas is inconvenient. As if running away as a Skirmisher is not an inconvenience for the opponent. Getting flanked from out of nowhere is not an inconvenience for the opponent,\u201d another added. Others argued that the visible health bars, which were introduced in Season 22 and appear above players\u2019 heads, was the nail in the coffin for him. \u201cHealth bar has f*cked Caustic over, because enemies will see you \u2013 or your health bar \u2013 through the gas,\u201d one said. \u201cNonsense to put a health bar in smoke, gas, even mirage clones,\u201d another said. That health bar has also affected Mirage, with players urging Respawn to rethink things. Hopefully, they\u2019ll also give Caustic some attention too. He absolutely needs it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OG Apex Legends character drops to rock bottom pick rate as players want change Respawn EntertainmentCaustic has dropped to having a rock-bottom pick rate in top-level play and Apex Legends players are furious as they want things to change.
