Revenant is still viable, right?
I’m hearing a lot of “Revenant is kind of useless” in the Feedback channels, but Revenant is still pretty viable if I’m not mistaken.

Revenant kit is mainly offensive and if they want to keep it like that, his tactical needs to deal more damage, here is why:
Check this 25 second gameplay clip first:
You can see that in this clip, two enemies attacked Revenant, he did his best (he is a very good player/streamer in general), but Revenant's tactical didn’t help him there at all. Now compare if the same exact happened to other legends: Bangalore could have smoked and Run. Wraith can simply phase and run. Caustic drop and shoot traps and run. Mirage can make diversion and run. Pathfinder can grapple and run. Octane can run faster than them or use jump pad to a safe place next to his teammate and list goes on.... but Revenant’s tactical and ultimate are totally one sided and just works for offensive moves.
In my opinion, the reason that Revenant is not viable in pro matches is because in reality Apex matches are not just for an offensive playstyle, players need to be able to escape or need something to help them get protected from attacks and hold the spot (like Wattson’s ultimate can utilize grenades and charge your sheilds).
I think same goes for Crypto, he also doesn’t have an escape ability and that’s why he is not a top pick. However, Crypto still can use drone to see from which side/way he is being attacked and alarm teammates as well and maybe find a safer path to run.
Revenant's climb is not a good escape option, becasue: 1. in open fields it's not practical at all and 2.almost evey single building or rock he can climb, is also simply accessible by others (his climb is also getting very slowed after regular champions climbing hight which let enemies take you down while climbing)
The main source of that clip is this link on YouTube (My clip is a short one happens/started at 10:34 and ends at 10:59, of this video):
From a competitive standpoint: wraith,Watson, gibraltar, caustic, pathfinder.
Everybody else is useless. simply because all other legends don't do anything basically.
- @TommiSpageti Lifeline & Loba?
- @Alphabets, I mean lifeline is ok, but wraith and Watson are basically impossible to substitute, as 3rd then you want someone defensive like Caustic or Gibraltar, Lifeline doesn't really bring anything to the table.
