Ash - OP or Trash?
New legends are tough to balance, we get that. Of all the legends introduced since I started playing in Season 4, I think Valk is the only legend who has come in balanced (and even then she had a sli...

Trash imo! I dont like her tactical. Her ulti. Could have been her tactical but in mini version like mini phase in close range or something like that. And passive i think it fits her more something stealthy/assasin type.
My 2 cents: It doesn't matter if she's OP or Trash because her kit just adds fuel to the ever growing fire that has been sparked since day 1 of the Apex Games.
That fire is third parties.
Her kit isn't insanely overpowered from what I've seen of it. Scanning a box is very situational (mainly because half the time you have a box from a team that your team killed). Her tactical is fine, probably on par with Fuse or Watson, but honestly kind of awkward to use since it doesn't travel like an arc star (it kind of hovers in the air if you throw it straight). The ult is good, but tricky to use with how hard it is to place/see (reminds me somewhat of Loba bracelet back before they fixed it).
The biggest issue I have with her is the ability to see literally every death happen in real time just by looking at the map... That's just pouring gas on the third party issue we've all dealt with in this game. The map size kind of nerfs that since fights are like 2000+ meters away, but God help us when the other maps are in rotation...
Current opinion on Ash a week into the game: She's fine. Actually happy that they didn't do the Seer thing where they deliberately OVERPOWERED the character with a nerf ready to go in the next update. Actually curious how Ash plays in the other maps. I don't think she will change meta though when it comes to the pro scene. As for the tactical, I don't think it's that strong as other people have pointed out. Fun new legend with a good lore and definitely a good addition to the roster.
Hot take: Wraith portal is still better. I still see the Ash ult as closer to an Octane jump pad rather than a Wraith portal.
- @Cheese9Man I agree with your octane pad comparison.
