I Want Play Favorite Characters

Ash's  Impact

In Season 24, Ash's passive ability was changed to "Blink," granting her mobility surpassing even Skirmishers, despite being an Assault-class Legend. Already specialized in aggressive pushes, Ash's transformation into an exceptionally versatile and powerful character was further amplified by overall buffs to the Assault class.

As a result, Ash has become a top-priority choice in the current meta. Her pick rate in Pred/Masters lobbies exceeds 30%, and other characters buffed around her also maintain high pick rates. Meanwhile, a significant imbalance persists, with nearly half (12) of the 27 characters having a pick rate below 1%. This suggests that players feel compelled to pick specific characters for efficiency, limiting their freedom to choose their favorite Legends.

Player Experience and Balance 

Concerns about this imbalance are growing, yet the developers and operations team appear to be sticking to incremental adjustments rather than fundamental reworks. This extreme character imbalance has the potential to restrict player experience.

This situation raises concerns that player feedback isn't being adequately reflected, or that long-term concerns about the game's health aren't being properly evaluated. While trial and error are crucial for technical advancement, revising when unintended outcomes occur is essential.

A more diverse and equitable play environment is needed. I hope Apex Legends will not limit freedom to choose characters, rather than just receiving superficial adjustments.
