NC and LL’s has now equalized on 4.1%.Any reason why LL’s pickrate is increasing again?Around what percentage will NC settle on?Are people dropping NC for LL?3 weeks in, what do you feel about NC?Other observationsFrom the newer set of legends, only the mobility legends have a high pickrate (Horizon and Valk).Valk has the highest pickrate when the lower ranked, higher ranked and the ALGS is considered.Personally, Rev is the legend I see the least in my games.Glad Rampart is not at the bottom of the list anymore.Poor Crypto.*Take note of the weakness of this data from apexstatus. While it uses a good sample size of 13M players, the data is biased towards the free OG legends and it’s hard to really have any inferences since not everyone has all the legends yet. LL is also one of the go-to legends for noobs since it’s the first legend you ever use and she’s probably the easiest legend to use with BH.

@Cheese9Man poor sad saggie. I actually tried her out for a day after seeing a recommended video of the gaming merchant giving her a go and honestly, she doesn't feel that bad. I'll admit though, that her drill can feel underwhelming at times depending on the situation, her ultimate feels kind of random and unpredictable which makes it hard to use, and the shadow nerf she got removing the stun blur with her ultimate felt pretty unnecessary.

@Cheese9Man Where's my guarantee thread from before the season........

Lifelines pickrate will always remain high due to stubborn mains.

Perhaps the pick-rate is influenced by the daily and weekly challenges and the perceived level of difficulty of each challenge versus the ease of use of the relevant Legend's abilities.
I thought the challenge to "rescue 10 allies with Castle Wall as Newcastle" would be really hard. So I saved it until last. Then I realised it was easy. So I started to enjoy playing him and even won a handfall of games (I don't win many). Plus I had some compliments from teammates. I was really enjoying playing. Apex seems to have gone to an intense phase of hot drops now. Which is starting to get on my nerves.

Lifeline has smaller hitboxes.

@Cheese9Man Are these numbers exclusively BR? For obvious reasons Lifeline is a popular pick in Arenas.

@hayhor I believe I would fall under the "stubborn main" category. : )
As unhappy as I have been with all her nerfs...I still don't wanna throw her away.
She has and always will be my main.

@NickBeam27 That's OK. And it's OK to ask for buffs for her. She does need it. All I'm saying is pickrates affect who gets what changes and if she stays top 6 I don't see her getting attention.

It’s official, another Rampart situation. Just after a season, Maggie is now the lowest picked legend.

@soccerking122 I agree with everything that you’ve said. The drill feels weird sometimes because of the different surfaces on the maps. The ult is also unpredictable in my opinion. I didn’t know the stun was removed!
