Which legend abilities could be considered most similar to time manipulation?

For me I would say Alter's portal could be seen as a checkpoint in time where you rewind back to similar to Tracer from OW. Fade from Apex Legends Mobile is an honorable mention seeing how he definitely had time related powers by actually rewinding himself just like Ekko from League. But who else could you make an argument for with the power of imagination? If only we had a time stop/slow based Legend.. https://tutuapp.uno/

  • @holibka1 In my opinion, traveling through the void could be a way to manipulate time. Think about it, Wraith sees and hears alternate versions of herself at any given time in the void, (at least in her Stories from the Outlands video), so who to say that she also can't pick a time and place to travel to? (Also, the LTM we got during the first Halloween event that had the other Revenant was in another dimension).

    That being said, it would also mean that Ash could mess with time and space as she's able to open up void portals herself, (it just might not be on the same scale or level as Wraith), and Horizon is already messing with time in the lore, (such as going back in time to see NEWT, her son).

    During a previous season, you could (as Horizon), find audio logs which suggests that Horizon later went back in time. The current season's theme kicks off because the events that lead to Horizon getting back to her son was starting to take place, (which seems to start with Ash breaking the Ark shard that was given to Horizon by Alter, as that would of be used to fix the Time Gauntlet, (the one from Titanfall), and that's how we suspect how Horizon will get back to NEWT).

    The Time Gauntlet ended up in Silva's (Octane's "dad's") collection, and there was an "event" where Horizon competed against Octane, and the winner was able to pick one item from Silva's collection, (Octane had won, but because of lore reasons, he gave Horizon the Time Gauntlet).

    Note: I say "event", because I remember it being hyped up in-game and then it somehow ended with Octane being the winner.
