Who is the worst legend...
and why is it Crypto?
There I said it.
I've tried several times to get into him but I just can't.
Would love to hear from some Crypto mains out there as to why they play him and how they get him to "work".

- @Cheese9Man I think it's more or less Rampart's personality not her skill set lol. Her buff to Sheila was insane! Like how do you not pick her for that?
The original topic has gone off track now (in typical Apex forum fashion), but imo the absolute worst legend has to be Bangalore.
Her tactical is useful for your team, but also VERY useful for enemies if they have a recon legend or digi-threat. The smoke itself is also inconsistent, on multiple occasions I've clearly seen an enemy's silhouette in smoke, but they can't see out of it.
Her ult is easy to avoid, and the shell shock effect can screw over her teammates.
She portrays herself as being a hard*** soldier, yet when bullets start wizzing past her she turns on lil b mode so she can run away faster.
The worst thing about her though, is her stale personality and dense voice lines.
"ReAl MeN uSe IrOn SiGhTs? I uSe HeAvY aRtIlLeRy." So by that logic you're at the real bottom of the "Real man" scale?
"DoN't BrInG a PiStOl tO aN aRtIlLeRy FiGhT." Literally a P2020 would beat you against your "artillery"!
"yOu CaN't DoDgE hEaVy ArTiLlErY. yOu KnOw ThAt RiGhT?" I don't have to when a pebble can protect me from your "rolling thunder".
"fIrSt BlOoD. tAsTeS lIkE vIcToRy." That.. doesn't even remotely make sense, the match has just started how can you "taste" victory?
I could go on...
Sounds like about half my games that. Everyone just wants to push everything without thinking and quits if you don't follow them to die.
Most players are terrible tbh, regardless of who they play. But a good player can kill you with any character is what I meant.
Everyone thought Wraith was OP pre-nerf but you still needed good aim, placement and planning to play her successfully. She's pretty trash now though..
What's ironic about all that is that Valk can fly out of trouble, and shoot missiles while doing so, or even move the whole squad half way across the map. Pathfinder can just grapple away. Octane has a jump pad that has so many uses in both offense and defense and gives so much mobility. But no one seems to be complaining about that?- @KelRiever Agree. Just wish they would take that delay away on her jump drive.
- @Extremejinks You just made my day. Hilarious! :D well said
- @Extremejinks LOL! I don’t use her just because of the voicelines.
- @hayhor I have seen videos of pros playing her and understand where the hype comes from - harder to hit, voiceline when someone is aiming at you, faster queue, teleport usage in the end zones to start the push - good old combo of her, gibi and blood.
Yet now most of those benefits are nerfed and in my opinion, also player base has adjusted and learned how to counter those moves, thus now Wraith, in my opinion, is mostly just Octain like or dead in the water with her queue and portaling.
But yeah I have been here only 8 months so maybe don't know all the tricks and tips of her potential. Yet my experience with players who play her is exactly as described before - very frustrating and usesless for the team most of the time. - @Extremejinks disable ingame voice lines, might make her a bit more tolerable.
But I agree and have said it before - she used to be my main in games with randoms, now after season 9 smoke fine-tuning I more often than not hinder my performance with it and give enemies an advantage, same goes with teammates who just smoke up enemy team while I am shotting at them again making things worse for us.
Without voiclines (disabled them around my first week in the game) and old style of smoke she was quite playable in season 8, now only Shiv plays her because that's his image. - @Cheese9Man I don't play characters like bloodhound and rampart because I don't like their personalities and voiceless. Bang is quite boring but I like her kit actually.
- @Eshshshss Smaller hitbox and instant q made wraith the easiest less skillful legend to play before. That's why she was picked 30% of the time while the next legend was like 10%. Octane is now that legend, tho his pick rate isn't as out of control. People will always gravitate to the easiest legend to play. I enjoy playing octane sometimes. Now I'm running valk tho. Why? Because she is easy to play.
