Level 114 Player's Apex Legends Season 5 Legend Tier List
*DISCLAIMER* I am only Level 114, meaning I am definitely not the best Apex Legends player. I have all the Legends and this is my personal opinion on if they are useful to a team or just in general how fun playing them is. If you think I'm playing a Legend wrong, let me know how to better play them! It would be much appreciated.
I'm going to briefly explain the attached tier list (at bottom of post)
#13: Crypto - I think Crypto is the worst Legend because when using his drone, you're just sitting waiting to be killed and if you're in a fight with another squad, your allies/y are at a disadantage in a 1v3/1v2 situation while you sit back and scan enemies. The EMP is useful, but I just don't think he deserves a spot higher than D Tier
#12: Octane - Yes, Octane is pretty bad but I think he is better than Crypto (in my opinion). He can use Stim to get in and out of combat with ease and his Jump Pad just increases his mobility. The Stim's damage is also countered by Swift Mend. Doesn't bring much to ateam which is why I have to agree, he is in the bottom tier.
#11: Loba - Right now, Loba has a huge hitbox almost the size of Gibraltar/Caustic's. The teleport is useful for getting into advantageous positions but not the best for yeeting out of a bad situation. She brings a lot to the team but the weird hitbox is a MAJOR pullback for Ms. Andrade.
#10: Bangalore - Brings firepower and occasionally tactical support to the team but her kit is pretty... basic. The smoke is great offensively, but Digital Threats and Bloodhound's are always counters to defensive smoke so it's not as great for support. And the airstrike is a worse version of Gibby's. Either buff damage or increase the time it takes to explode.
#9: Revenant - Was garbage at release but the recent buffs have given him a substantial push from D to B Tier. He is so good for players who are aiming for high kill games: he disables most escape routes and not even death can stop him from killing with the Totem.
#8: Mirage - I never expected to see Mirage up here, but his new reworked kit is fantastic. He is now a major support element who is great at clutching revives and distracting enemies with decoys and invisibility.
#7: Lifeline - Ah, the once best Legend has been pushed off her throne. Lifeline is not bad but has just been pushed out of the picture by stronger new Legends and tuning/buffs.
#6: Pathfinder - Okay, the S5 buff has not done a whole lot to the loveable robot in my opinion. His scouting abilities (especially the Passive) still make him great for competitive.
#5: Bloodhound - There is no doubt that Bloodhound is a must pick. In the pre-season, Bloodhound was terrible. But tons of buffs have put the hunter above 8 other Legends. Essentially a better offensive Crypto and is also a better option for high kill games.
#4: Gibraltar - I have only come to like Gibby last season. I just realised his great abilities are really good for a team based game like Apex. No surprise at his spot.
#3: Wattson - Again, no surprise here. Insane for defending the team but is more passive than active.
#2: Caustic - I like Caustic more than Wattson because he is defensive/passive and offensive/active. It's a lot easier to destroy a Caustic's defences, but it is so easy to ambush squads with gas.
#1: Wraith - 100% no surprise at Wraith's position. The BEST character in the game. Has the best get-out-of-jail-free card and gets herself and team out of bad situations with the portal. I think people use her portal for support only but it's so good offensively: hide your portals near a battlefield, deal damage, knock some enemies and get out of there quickly to heal then come back for the finish.
Do you agree? Am I using legends wrong? Let me know by replying! (Tier List made using tiermaker.com)
