Thoughts on Solos:

"Don't have to worry about carrying any randoms" Watch out now! Hehe. Just kidding, great review and thanks for sharing!

Fun clips to watch while listening to the commentary, you really touched up on a lot of concerns from the community like Pathfinders always on your tail when you're trying to heal up and players teaming up.

When it comes to balancing Legends, which 3 do you think are the MOST popular in Solos and which bottom 3 do you think should get changes? What type of changes? (Caustic is definitely great when it comes down to the end with his abilities, but can be a huge target when you're moving from one ring to another. Great point though!)

@EA_Blueberry caustic and gib are literal sponges, that health buff really extends the fight

@EA_Blueberry I appreciate the response! Pathfinder, Bangalore and Wraith to me are the most popular. They are some of the most mobile characters and allow you to quickly engage or reposition yourself in a fight. The least are Wattson, Mirage and maybe Gibraltar. For Wattson, I feel as though her abilities are better suited for squads.I just feel as though there are only a few legends where there abilities are viable for both squads and solos. Mirage's abilities lose effectiveness the more people play the game. I understand the purpose of Gibraltar's shield, but with no one watching your back I'd rather not give away more my position when you can probably already hear the gun shots.

Pathfinder, Wraith, Octane would be my guess for top 3 most played.
Top 5 would include Bangalore & Lifeline.
The one (un?)surprising stand out is IMO Gibraltar; his gun shield & 15% extra hp make him reliably win 1v1 fights where any other class would otherwise lose.
His ult can also be an effective way of 3rd partying other fights without giving away your position.
