Legend Meta Discussion Thread
Current Meta (as of Season 7) And at the top of our entire tier list, we have Wraith: the best Legend in this meta. No character is better at flanking positions or repositioning than Wraith. E...

@CompleatBeet I disagree about a few of these
Lifeline is one of the most op legends right now, for revives she can revive and fight at the same time, having a larger shield when reviving is much much worse than being able to fight while reviving with 0 cooldown.
Bangalore hasnt been changed much but she is still a strong legend, her smokes arent super reliable because of threat highlighting but they are still good and her ultimate is a great control tool
Wattson and caustic camping isnt an effective strat anymore because all armor is evo armor, you need to do lots of damage to win late game and camping in buildings just doesnt get the damage you need
Crypto has the advantage of safe beacon scanning but his emp is really bad since it only serves to counter caustic wattson and rampart none of which a super strong right now.
Revanant's ult is very strong right now and a well placed silence can be very effective, so I would put him up a tier.
Pathfinder is still very powerful despite all the recent nerfs he still has that advantage of burst mobility and highground

- @Westhebird Just so you know there are these things called sniper rifles that you can shoot ppl from a distance and do damage to level up your evo. Also its no big deal to level an evo to purple with crafting material. So camping isn't a problem.
Since you also brought up crypto and evo Shields doing 150 damage with a drone without taking any risk is a pretty nice way to level up an evo as well as help with campers. I have a crypto buddy who will solo ranked and us the emp as a way to get alert other teams where another team is because its not hard to see the emp from a distance.- @Ironflower196 But snipers are easy to play around if they rarely ever move, and cryptos emp is great for getting evo armor but its damage is low, and the stun is short and affects your team so its hard to get actual use from the stun and people can often heal from the damage by the time you get there.
Blooshound was top tier pre aftermarket, and is till very strong being able to know where everyone is half the time during a fight is definitely game changing.- @Westhebird Sorry guy but your delusional if you think Bloodhound is better than Crypto. I guess you also didn't read where I said you should already have a good idea where your opponents are. Also you can deceive the your opponents with Bloodhounds scan, not to mention the scan itself gives away the Bloodhounds position. Also the whole camping isn't an effective strategy because of evo is trash I just put that down by talking about snipers and replicaters, do you pay attention to your own words? It really depends on positioning of the camps and rotations. Not to mention its not all about winning you cant win them all, placement and kills get you points, sniping while holding a good position to get placement is extremely effective at ranking up.
@DrSeptimus Crypto has a lot of potential but your average Crypto player may not use this to their advantage. Wraith/Pathfinder can set a portal/zipline so Crypto can rush in after the EMP.
@Westhebird In terms of Revenant, yes, he is really strong, but in high-tier play he's not that valuable in my opinion. His only team ability is his death totem, and I am not underestimating its strength at all. It's extremely powerful but at this state of time you would do better without Revenant in high-tier play. Wraith is a better pick for your squad's offensive department.
@Westhebird Wattson + Caustic is still strong, because if you want to climb, placements matter so much and camping can ensure high placements.
@Westhebird Bang's ultimate is a good control tool, but it can attract attention from afar because of how loud and visible it is. Caustic's ultimate is much better if you throw it directly on them, as you can see enemies in your gas (making them easier targets), they're forced to reposition into the open which gives you the advantage and it's much less noisier and visible than Bang's.
Bear in mind the only reason Bangalore is in Rare tier is because the legends above just outclass her on another level in terms of valuability, and offensive play.
Maybe if we get a new map, or other offensive Legends get nerfed, she'll climb up more in the meta, but for right now she is not the most useful character, although she is strong.
@Westhebird About Lifeline, I will put her above Pathfinder, but she isn't deserving of Legendary tier juust yet since Gibraltar still does outclass her and is a better pick than Lifeline at the moment. If they give her her fast heals back and quicker DOC heals, she's definitely climbing.
