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...

Regarding Ults in my opinion/experience what I see is:
- if a player is egoistic and cares only about his/her performance -> Wraith is the one they choose
- if a player is bad at coordination, communication -> Octane is the one for them, just throw the jumpad, if team will want they will use it
- if a player is better at coordinating pushes, has good coms, is not planning to back out of fights (like damn Wraith players commonly do 😬) -> Ash is the one
To be honest, I still see Wraith currently being rendered useless and only people who played her from season 1 / their day 1 keep picking her now (based on their own feedback - I usually ask people why they pick Wraith as I don't really get it 😛), otherwise, she is just useless/less useful for the team at the moment.
p.s. in the meantime enjoying getting aped by Ash teams - got 3 cases in 10 maps yesterday via Ash portal which noone from my team heard 🥳
Just shy of 200 kills with Ash, and really enjoying playing her, hopefully Repsawn doesn’t nerf her anytime soon, as I think she’s a balanced legend.
Imo, she’s a very good legend when utilized with teammates that actually use their coms, and we all know that doesn’t happen often with randoms.
Just a few points, when using her smart knife, players ultimately think “OP”, but it goes both ways. That being said, on many occasions, when we got located by an enemy Ash scanning a death box, we sprinted back to those death boxes and wiped the team. Also, her passive isn’t always a sure shot, many times when sprinting for a recent death box by looking at the map, we crossed other teams before we could even make it there.
All of the aforementioned is very situational, and also highly depends on your team’s composition, if they want to push, or rush.
If anything, her ult indicator could be a little brighter, I often lose sight of it.
She’s in a good spot, just enough to shift the meta, and make for new and exciting plays.
