Why some legends are picked more than others & Legend Buff Ideas

@MoNosDirtyGaming Not every legend is supposed to be escape expert, Escaping is just a tiny part of the game, There are others important parts.

@SERPENT_DESCEND The entire point of this post was to explain that the highest pick rate of legends was most likely due to them being able to ESCAPE. There's clear connotations here which you fail to somehow grasp. Backing off and healing and getting back to the fight is a very important part of the entire game, it's not just a "Tiny part".

    @MoNosDirtyGaming Well for some, yes.
    For others, they don’t have escape abilities. Like Gibby, whose tanking abilities are high enough that people pick him for that.
    Or Wattson, (although it’s only in high tier). She has very little to help her escape a dangerous situation, yet pros pick her a lot.

    For low tier/casual play, you’re mostly right, since people like playing fun, speedy legends.

      @Sir_Named Gibbys tanky so there's no need for him to escape, plus he has his shield/bubble.

      Wattson's got her pylons so she doesn't need to escape either.

      Both of these circumvent the need to back off and heal.

        @MoNosDirtyGaming Yeah, but since they don’t have as much of a need to back off, yet are still semi-popular, this kind of disproves your theory.
