Over the last five years, Apex Legends has seen the meta change quite a bit \u2013 especially as Respawn has nerfed and changed the abilities of different legends, and even added new ones into the mix. There have always been some legends that have been more popular than others, even after they\u2019ve been changed. However, in Season 20, some of these have slipped well away. Valkyrie, Seer, and Gibraltar once all dominated the meta, but their pick rates have fallen to between 2-1%. One character that has benefited, however, has been Lifeline. The combat medic has continually been buffed over the last few updates and has now risen into the top five most-used characters in Apex. That has confused some players, however, with one asking: \u201cWhen did Lifeline get into top five for pick rate? Also, you know it\u2019s bad when Ash is higher than Valk, lol.\u201d Some fans quickly suggested that the medic has risen up the ranks as players try to pull off flashy revives and have \u201cOP\u2019 abilities. \u201cI\u2019d argue the gold plated care package is also OP because it\u2019s a guaranteed gold knockdown shield, gold bag, and evo cache if you get yourself to purple,\u201d one argued. Others, though, just believe she\u2019s fairly balanced. \u201cI think it\u2019s because her care package can drop those eco harvesters. It\u2019s so useful,\u201d one said. \u201cLifeline since tweaks about 4 plus seasons ago has never objectively been a bad legend. This doesn\u2019t surprise me,\u201d another added. Focusing on other characters, some players said that Newcastle \u2013 who has a 0.9% pick rate, the lowest of the lot \u2013 is \u201ccriminally underrated\u201d and should get some more love. Others stated that Mirage \u201cfeels too low\u201d and should pick back up. With Season 21 getting underway in May, Respawn will very likely make changes to the current roster of legends again. So, things will likely be shaken up before long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends players can\u2019t believe most popular legends in Season 20 Electronic ArtsApex Legends players have been taken aback by the popularity and pick rates of certain legends ahead of Season 21, especially Lifeline, who is now inside the top five.
