Advice on Legends and Team-Comps.
So first off, Apex Legends is my VERY first FPS game. I'm not great yet, but I've been really trying to improve. I got myself to Plat 4 this season, mainly by playing Caustic and Wattson. I noticed while I was in Gold most of the players that I played with had a defensive play-style (that's why Caustic and Wattson worked so well)... but now that I'm in Plat my teams push push push and are super aggressive. They don't want me playing Wattson or Caustic, so I was wondering what I should do? Is there a "aggro" legend that I should learn? I know Wraith is usually always taken, when I've tried to pick her I've had a lot of people rage/grief because I only have like 291 kills on her and most people have been playing her since the beginning and have a lot more.. I know a simple solution would be to go on the Discord groups and get a team that way, but honestly I don't want to feel like I find 2 other good people and get carried or something. I'm trying to get as high of a rank as I can by myself so that I can be confident that I'm a "decent" player (since this is my first FPS) before I go and find a team to play with. Thanks in advance!
Thank you everyone for the advice, I really appreciate it!
Since reading what you all had to say I have experimented with a few different legends that were suggested and also tried to find out areas that I need to improve in. This is what I came to the conclusion of;
Lifeline's passive fast heal is actually so amazing, I found myself healing up SUPER fast and getting back into the fights - although I'm not a huge fan of her ult that's a beacon to the entire map of where your team is (unless the ring is in a open field to use as cover).
Mirage is really fun to play, but at the same time I need to improve my bamboozling. I feel like he can be super confusing and deadly in the right hands, but currently, those hands aren't mine... but I'm working on it!
Wattson has always been one of my favorite legends, and I have tried the more aggressive approach with her - it's worked quite a bit. The fast fencing like @1ronKeys said has given me enough time to turn around a rushing team. And using her ult as a split second cover has saved me a few times.
Wraith I just need to get better at knowing where/when to portal.
Those are the Legends that I will be playing and trying to improve on. Depending on who my team picks I'll still be playing one of the Legends above.
Again I really appreciate the advice guys 🙂
