At this stage of the game, Apex is starting to feel unfair for many of the older legends. Even Octane can’t keep up with Axel’s tactical ability. Axel is faster, more efficient, and doesn’t suffer any HP drain when using her tactical, unlike Octane. This makes Octane feel almost pointless to play.

Why would I choose Octane when Axel can move faster, create better plays, break enemy camera angles, chase opponents, cover long distances, and even jump using her tactical? She feels like a stronger version of what Octane was originally designed to do.

I think Respawn may eventually need to recognize that some older legends are being unintentionally retired by newer legends that completely replace their role. There should be clearer design guidelines when creating new legends to avoid too much overlap with existing ones, especially when the new legend does the same job but better.

Octane? Choose Caustic, who's sluggish in movement and has a larger hitbox. Lacks mobility skills. :D It's a very frustrating experience in this sick and stupid season with Axle.

This is just an example, because there are many more legends at a disadvantage.

It's just stupid – better movement = smaller hitbox, and worse movement = larger hitbox. And no, that 15% damage reduction means nothing with the current TTK. You're still drowning everyone in a split second.

Whoever came up with this is seriously very sick :D
