Wraith is quickly becoming most popular Apex Legends pick again thanks to Ash Respawn EntertainmentWraith is becoming the most popular Apex Legends pick again after seasons of Octane dominance at the top of the meta, all thanks to Season 11 release Ash. As players start to get the hang of the new Legend, Wraith\u2019s play rate is rebounding much quicker than the speedster\u2019s. Apex Legends players are finally settling in with the Season 11 changes, with the meta sorting itself out a bit. However, change is in the air when it comes to the game\u2019s best picks. Octane has been Apex Legends\u2019 most popular pick for some time. While he\u2019s been kicked off the throne every time a new Legend releases, Octane has sat around 15% play rate consistently, with the next best legends hovering around 10%. Ash\u2019s release has thrown a spanner in the works though. The Titanfall antagonist is not only a fan-favorite to play for lore reasons, she occupies a similar role to Octane in the meta. Her portal is just a better version of Octane\u2019s jump pad, for example. On top of recent nerfs, that\u2019s seen pro players drop the speedster in droves. Cloud9 pro Zach \u2018ZachMazer\u2019 Mazer said on Ash\u2019s release: \u201cThe good thing about pad was that you could pad on people with no audio,\u201d \u201cIf I don\u2019t have red armor, if I pop stim I\u2019m 180 [HP],\u201d NRG\u2019s Aidan \u2018rocker\u2019 Grodin added. \u201cI\u2019m getting two-shotted by every [Peacekeeper] in the book if I get hit at all.\u201d It\u2019s not Ash that\u2019s going to settle on top of the Apex Legends play rate leaderboard though: it\u2019s Wraith. Wraith\u2019s rebound up the popularity charts is outpacing Octane by a decent margin. Wraith currently sits at 10.78% play rate, up from 9.15% at Ash\u2019s peak following her release according to ApexLegendsStatus. Octane, however, has only rebounded to 11.39% from 10.85% (0.54% climb compared to 1.63%). Although the Titanfall antagonist will likely settle among the game\u2019s most picked Legends \u2014 Ash is certainly high up on the tier list \u2014 Wraith is in with a chance to reclaim her crown as the Queen of Apex Legends in Season 11 from Octane. While she still trails Octane, by the time Season 12 rolls around, it\u2019s likely Octane will once again reside as Apex Legends\u2019 bridesmaid behind the game\u2019s most popular character since release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
