Most irritating legends?

I don't mean in regard to how your teammates use them, nor their aesthetic or personalities. 

I'm talking being in opposition, their abilities that frustrate and irritate you and stand out the most when it comes to affecting your game play?

For me;

Fuse - that bloody popcorn maker tactical

Bangalore - that missile drop

Caustic - his gasses

All above very good for; dispersing enemies, reducing shields, finishing off after shields, or eliminating downed opponents.

Next down the list would be;

Conduit - Jammers. When they work, they are mega annoying. But I rarely see them and rarely see them cause bother.

Pathfinder - swingers. People who swing well can be annoying.

Vantage - that rifle. That 2nd hit really makes you go into hiding. But I usually outvantage a vantage, or otherwise don't receive it too much. (Personally I get a lot of shield breaks, knocks and eliminations using it)

Ash - snare. Only one time did it cause me any bother, someone expectedly used it and followed up with an arc star. Otherwise no issue.

I feel like Catalyst's ULT could be really useful when you have enemies fighting at the edge of a ring near a new mid round stage; could force them through or around it likely getting finished off by ring or easy pickings. But not seen too much.

I've been trying to think about this in influencing my legend choice,

(had a couple good goes with Fuse. But not really worked out for me. Trying Ash now.)

How about you? Any irritants out there?

  • Gibby. He's been annoying me ever since... season 5? 6? Whenever they gave him 117 buffs, like fast dome revive and fast dome heal. At least they removed fast heal again, but I'm still waiting on him to get reasonably nerfed and then... they buffed him this season. 🙃

  • @1ronKeys Horizon. There's no character that can move like her with little sound.

    The new girl is starting to get really annoying too. The tactical being available for her and one teammate means you can melt one of them and still can't push or they still swing you.

    LOL Caustic & Fuse are my two most played legends 👿

    For me the buffed Revenant is the most annoying to play against.

    You dont even have to be a good revenant player to become irritating because the ability buffs. 

    Playing against skilled Wattson is a good second for me. Love watching Lamic999 plays with Wattson since there is so much IQ on how to really take the most out of the abilities.

    @CCbathwater What buffs does he have? He's probably the character I'm least likely to pick due to aesthetics ha.
  • @Airish85 I migh5 have to check that out. Tho I'm not one for watching game videos - only used to really watch Broughy gta vids to know what cars can compete.


    I used to use Wattson for a good while. Sometimes I find legends like that you can get distracted trying to use their abilities.

    I used to love putting a fence straight through a wraith portal. I think a lot of places it's too easy to shoot out the fence.

    Used the ult as cover for heal in some clutch situations too.

    I don't generally notice the differences between legends in my lobbies, where as often as not opponents don't even seem to know what their legend's abilities are, let alone how to use them to advantage. But once in a while when I stumble into a sweatfest lobby, I notice the grenade-spamming Fuses more than anything. I'm beginning to hate them.

    @1ronKeys What doesn't he have? First of all he's got fortified AND a gun shield. Not that that matters anymore when Rev has 9 lives and Conduit can hit a button and shield up someone you were winning a fight against.
    Then he's got the anti-Lifeline fast dome revive. That's when all the Lifeline nerfing really began. Still makes no sense why he needs to revive 33% faster in his dome. His fully covering dome which only Crypto and Maggie can counter. But Lifeline's tiny revive shield was the problem. 🤡

    "For me the buffed Revenant is the most annoying to play against.

    Yeah, flexing a kill counter on your Rev banner is gonna be like flexing a s17 Masters badge.

    @CCbathwater Yeah I was surprised they removed lifelines shield. I mean Castle can speed walk revive with shield. And do it from his ult putting down a barrier.

    Still tho re Gibraltar never seems to cause much issue to me.

    Revenant hasn't either - I castles in and saved teammates whilst he tried killing me used my revive as a shield and insurance then splatted him.

    Conduit I dunno. It adds a little bit.

    @1ronKeys Newcastle is not a problem apparently, only Lifeline. If Lifeline can do something, then people complain. If everybody else can do her stuff better and faster, then it's perfectly alright.
    It's not that Gibby's an "issue", nobody really plays him anyway, it's just why can he revive 33% faster in his dome? He's already got plenty of abilities in his kit, fail to see why he needs this one thing. Reviving was Lifeline's thing.
