Season 5 Pick Rates
So data was released this week which shows the Legend pickrate since the onset of Season 5. The data shows that Wraith and Pathfinder are still the most popular Legends by a good margin. Despite be...

@Axs5626Sxa5001 Pick rates also say that Gibby is really unpopular although he's one of the strongest legends, so we'll see another Gibby buff? lol
I don't think they only look at pick rates, some characters will always be more popular than others, that's how it works in every game. Wraith is a cool legend and her abilities suit well team play, Path in pubs is still the best in terms of fast movement and repositioning. I highly doubt they'll nerf Wraith and Path again, as now they are just in perfect position. One more nerf and they'll be completely useless. They should focus more on fixing bugs and servers.

The funny thing is, I often ask the Apex community (on reddit, sometimes here, and in other forums) if a specific character is “now in the right place” after they receive an adjustment. I asked when Path had his season 3 grapple hook adjusted— the majority of people said “yeah he needed to be slower and easier to hit, he’s good now”. Then they nerfed him again and I asked if he is in a good place now that he takes increased damage everywhere. The majority of people said “yeah this nerf was needed, he’s good now”. And then they nerfed him again and people said the same thing: “yeah he’s good now”.
But I thought he was good before? Lol.
Honestly it’s the same with Wraith. Post nerf, people agreed she was “now in a good place” but then retracted that after she received her subsequent nerf.
It makes wonder if some people are actually just kinda happy to see someone other than their main become weaker, because that makes their own Legend more viable.
I think it’s clear that I’m a Path main. But I’m definitely not crying and I’m definitely not switching mains. I’m adapting to the changes and I’m fine. However, I AM concerned that Path will get nerfed again, as his popularity remains high and kids are still going to complain when a Path successfully out plays them with a grappling hook. Watch. Lol.

This is untrue. I wasn`t maining Wraith, but i said she is perfect now. Same for Pathfinder. They are balanced as it gets. Still very strong, but fair. They need not to be touched.
@Axs5626Sxa5001 I'm a Wraith main so i know what it feels like, even more than path mains lol. I never cried about it, of course i was disappointed but in the end every nerf was needed. Only the last one i thought it was maybe too much but after playing a lot Wraith's still viable as before. You can discuss about it but now those 2 are really ok imo, of course there's always gonna be some crybabies who complain about every single thing devs do to their main.
Now for Path, i actually think they will think about buffing him a little bit, decreasing the q time a little bit, like from 35 to 25 sec or something.
