The Apex Legends Tier List (Season 12)

apex legends has really come a long way from eight legends in the beginning with only one map to four whole maps and 20 different legends when i first made this tier list the thumbnail looked like you know reasonable and now it's just cluttered full of legends i love it if you're a fan of my channel and you've already watched my previous tier lists you're probably here wondering has anything changed is mirage good now but seriously since my last tier list three seasons ago a lot has changed three whole new legends have been introduced and a bunch of different buffs and nerfs occurred that make some legends more viable or less viable so let's find out where they stack up and as usual i am going to be proposing nerves buffs and reworks for each of the legends that need them because some of the changes that i suggested happened before so maybe it'll happen again but first speaking of tier lists do you guys want to be an s-tier gamer well s-tier gamers have s-tier pcs and i can offer you guys some of the best pcs out there i'm partnering with apex pcs no association with apex legends by the way just an fyi and together we're going to be bringing you guys beautiful pc options

description down below use code macro and buy yourself a pc today now back to the tier list video [Music] f tier as usual there's not a single legend that is just god-awful like complete doo-doo garbage it wouldn't be fair to put any of the legends in this tier every single legend can do stuff at the bare minimum so anyway deeds here they can do stuff at the bare minimum but they desperately need buffs or reworks and the only legend consistently still in deets here is your boy mirage a part of me hopes that they never buff mirage so that this merch never goes out of style but in all seriousness he just doesn't do enough his clones aren't that strong and his ultimate is okay until they know exactly who you are him reviving while invisible is fine but also kind of easy to track mirage just desperately needs a rework i feel like if there's ever going to be a character that utilizes invisibility a lot it would probably have to be mirage i think that would make the most sense to give him some more genuine viability because for the most part his entire kid is very selfish and doesn't really help the squad which is the point of a team-based shooter in solos he'd crush it but there is no solos mode but we can all agree that there should be one right next up is seats here seats or legends are very average they can be useful at times but they do need a slight buff to their kit and at the bottom of seats here we have rampart rampart got a pretty significant buff with the ability to move around while using sheila her minigun turret this is pretty awesome and is one of the main reasons why she's no longer in d tier and with her walls taking a little bit more damage before breaking you would think this would make her a lot more competitively viable but in reality her play style is a bit too slow to really have utility destroyable walls could never really compete against an indestructible bubble let's just be real and while sheila can be quite menacing it does have a pretty significant wind up so you can't just go in and tear up but since most people don't play rampart nobody's really expecting it so you could get some cheeky kills with it a cool slight rework that they could give to rampart is make it so that she can hold up her wall without putting it down and move around while holding up the wall essentially like a reinhardt shield so if your team is running across an open field without cover you can just hold up one of your three walls and just keep running this may sound broken but you can't shoot while doing this and she also would be a little bit slower while holding it up plus you can't really see anything when you're doing this as well i know that sounds kind of insane but i just feel like this game is so fast paced and rampart does not fit the playstyles of most team compositions because of this next up is lifeline lifeline is in such a strange position where she desperately needs a rework her care package is fine it does guarantee upgrades with purple armors gold armors gold helmets gold attachments it's honestly pretty decent calling down the care package takes forever and it also signals to the whole map that hey lifeline's here i think lifeline needs to go all out in the support role her revive is solid but her drone what are you doing drone i think the drone should be able to attach to your teammates while moving so you can heal while moving because even though it does heal a little bit faster than before the fact that it's stationary is gonna always hold it back and i think if you want to keep the care package because they really do like the care package as her ultimate i think it would be really cool if the care package was a guaranteed respawn beacon meaning that if you call a carrot package down it not only will give you loot but it also will act as a respawn beacon on the spot they could go one step further and make it that if you have your teammates banners the moment you call a care package that will instantly respawn your teammates and they will come down with the care package these two buffs could really improve her quality of life and make her the true support legend that she's supposed to be next up we have fuse fuse is a legend that has the potential to be really really good but his own kit kind of holds him back his ultimate is just so buggy landing in exactly where you want it to be feels so inconsistent and while it's nice that enemies get scanned within the fire if they're already in the ring of fire that knowledge is not that important his knuckle cluster is really good though i will give him credit for that so i'm here to propose a buff and a rework his first buff is something that i mentioned before give him the ability to grenade jump essentially he has a different button that he can use to turn any grenade that he has in his inventory into an explosive that he can jump with this could give him insane movement that would significantly improve his viability while simultaneously making him even more fun and then the rework i would propose is giving fuse the ability to change the way he shoots out his ultimate i would give him an alternate fire that would shoot directly in front of him as a wall of fire this could be great for blocking off chokes or stopping enemies from escaping i know this may seem like a crazy rework but giving your legends more options is honestly just the better play in my opinion if every legend is overpowered none of them are next up in seats here we have seer and boy has seer fallen since his release when seer was first released he was game breaking he was broken his heartbeat scanner thing could basically hear people from across the map for free his tactical did damage and stunned for a lot longer it just did so much however they did nerf him to the ground to the point where now he's just a really worse bloodhound i don't know what you can do to see her to make him feel good without making him game breaking maybe make it so when his ultimate's out people that are healing will also be detected right now the only people detected are people running or shooting but if you're walking or healing you won't be detected and i think people that are healing nah you should not be able to just heal for free just letting him more consistently get info would be pretty nice next up we have revenant revenant also fell pretty hard and the only change they really did was make his death totem super loud you would get rev octane teams jump padding in for free killing an entire squad without anybody noticing but now you'll find the totem getting destroyed a lot more often so revenant is more of a high risk high reward character his silence is still really good and his passive exists i think the only buff i would give revenant is make it so that with his death tone him active his teammates can also climb really really high and a lot faster this way you don't have to run mobility characters all the time you can just go in and be a little bit sneakier with the big climb cause honestly you can't really be that sneaky with the totem going but at least give your teammates the ability to climb up with the revenant you know i think it would fit the lore and the character really well and it won't be that game breaking but it will be strong enough to give revenant a little bit more stealth options at the top of seats here we have mad maggie and i honestly wanted to put mad maggie a bit lower but it is a bit early to tell whether or not she's really gonna shake the meta or not but so far it's looking like a nah her ultimate it doesn't really do anything significantly better than other legends it can help your team move fast but jump pads and ziplines just do that better it does decent damage but other ults do a lot more damage than this it just doesn't feel like there's situations where you want mad maggie's ultimate but her tactical definitely is the best part of her kit really making her a breech character nobody is safe indoors and i think that's where respawn really needs to lean in on mad maggie's kit i would make her tactical last a little bit longer and maybe do slightly more damage because at the moment it doesn't really do that much damage and it's very easy to avoid secondly i would make it so that her ultimate has a bigger explosion radius at the moment it doesn't really hit multiple people her kit doesn't do that much damage or that much chaos to really justify putting her on your team but that's why she sits at the top of seats here because she has the most potential to grow next up is beats here beats here are legends that don't necessarily need buffs and can have a place in the meta in very niche situations but all these legends wouldn't mind a slight buff or rework and at the bottom of beats here we have watson watson is one of those legends that if the game slowed down a bit would see a ton of play her fences are still pretty great for stopping enemies from coming in and her ultimate lasting forever while giving a limited amount of shields is a great change any change to her kit could make or break this character but if they were going to give a slight buff to watson for her to have the ability to turn off and on a specific node of offense this way she can trick enemies into running into a couple of her fences but not all of them at once but having the ability to turn on and off two fences could be game changing for watson and may even give her some better defensive utility next up in beats here we have octane octane's only negative change that he had recently is the fact that his jump pad is stupid loud since it's really really loud enemies can hear you coming from a mile away so the element of surprise that octane used to have is completely gone does that make him bad no i still think octane is one of the best mobility legends in the game and when paired with revenant is still a potentially good team composition i just think that octane players have to play a lot smarter than they used to before the only change that i would suggest to octane is making it so that the health that he takes from using his dim is not as big as it is right now they did that before to nerf him but now that they nerfed his jump pad by making his jump head super loud i don't think this nerf is needed anymore it just makes octane feel really really weak sometimes like come on look at how much health it takes just let the boy be fast next up is horizon horizon is in a strange place because her kit is very close to how it was when she first joined the games i think horizon can be used in a lot of team compositions very successfully her tactical is still amazing for vertical mobility her ultimate is absolutely annoying and her ability to slide especially in storm point is pretty awesome i just think in this scenario horizon is just outclassed by other mobility legends that provide more for the team because while mid-fight horizon may be really strong apex legends is a game about survival and the way you do that in this game is through knowledge of the rings and rotating so while horizon in my opinion is a strong legend that doesn't necessarily need any buffs or nerfs the way the game is currently played just won't see too many horizons next up is crypto crypto got a really really cool rework i don't think it put him in eight's ear because i still feel like he's used more as a niche pick but if team compositions want to work around crypto they really can he finally has the ability to throw his drone which is something i suggested in previous tearless videos so respawn thanks for watching really appreciate you so now crypto has a lot more offensive capabilities essentially making it an emp grenade he has a lot of potential to become a lot stronger as the seasons progress so if you and your friends want to use crypto and make a team around him it's definitely gonna work because crypto is now in a position to be a sleeper pick next up is loba lobo is in a very similar position to crypto where even the pros are starting to use her every now and then i don't think any part of her kit like her tactical is what's making her go over the top lobo just shines in the end game where you need ammo and you need heals because her ultimate can yoink all that stuff without you actually having to take aggressive fights and dying to a third party so lobo's in a pretty good place right now seeing some play at the highest level not that much play which is why she's not an aids here but she's really becoming more and more of an anti-meta pick i still think loba could use a slight buff to her tactical in general because it's ridiculous how much noise it makes it's just telling the entire world that i'm coming in but besides that i think she's in a strong position and sits firmly closer to the top of beats here next up we have bangalore bangalore is in a strange position where any slight buff to her could make her overpowered and a must pick because her smokes are extremely annoying and i know there's that bug with controller players where you can essentially shoot people from inside your smoke and still have aim assist that's not the reason why she's at the top of beats here i just think that teams that work around the bangalore smokes with sears and bloodhounds can get a lot of value the only downside is that since bloodhound is such a popular pick that's kind of what puts bangalore in beats here you can't really hide in your smoke if you're constantly being scanned which is basically bangalore's entire kit i can't think of any reworks or buffs at this moment for bangalore that would not be ultimately game breaking i think at this point other legends just need to have more of a nerf to put bangalore into a and s tier and finally at the top of beats here we have pathfinder pathfinder just needs a passive his tactical's great his ultimate's great give him a passive give him an actual passive please and now we have a tier eights here are all legends that are extremely viable using any of these a-tier legends in tandem with the top two s-tier legends is a very strong team composition for ranked and competitive at the bottom of eights here we have surprisingly caustic caustic got a big nerf where now you can finally destroy his barrels and in my opinion that was a necessary nerf because the caustic was super annoying and became a must pick sometimes in ranked the only counter to caustic was caustic himself but now there really is counter play with caustic however caustic is still really good at holding rooms and his ultimate is still as good as it always has been not to mention the amount of damage it takes to break a barrel mid fight you're not gonna be focusing on the barrel that often a smart caustic player will still get a lot of value out of his barrels and especially get a lot of value out of his ultimate and i think kostik 100 is still an eight-tier legend and is the best defensive character for holding rooms and playing campy next up is ash ash may sound like a surprise to some people but in a game where rotating is the most important aspect you can see why she's up here her ultimate is phenomenal for getting into a better position instantaneously her tactical is also very strong for picking off enemies caught off guard ash definitely contends with the best legends as essentially an alternative to wraith speaking of which we have wraith wraith has never not been good rates teleporter will always be really solid for getting your teammates to rotate to a safer position and her tactical ability while not as safe as it used to be when used properly is a get out of jail free card wraith is just good so yeah that's why wraith sits firmly in the middle of aids here she's just outclassed by one other legend in terms of rotating and that legend is valkyrie valkyrie's ultimate is the best ability for rotating your team your team can still get knocked out of the sky but the freedom that your team gets to get into a zone is incredible plus her individual mobility is still great and her tactical is also for securing kills and as more and more of these maps get rid of their redeploy balloons valkyrie becomes better and better so if you like mobility characters this is going to be the mobility character you want to pick up and finally we have ester these legends are must picks these legends need a slight nerf honestly i don't like when there are characters that are must picks in this game it makes ranked and competitive kind of boring to watch but until they do something about them they're at the top of the list starting with bloodhound bloodhound has the best scan in the game knowledge is power in this game scanning is really good need i say more realistically they need to make characters have more way to counter being scanned if that makes sense because right now when you get scanned what can you do about it i really don't know what you can do with bloodhound but the knowledge that you get from bloodhound is just too important not to have so that's why bloodhound is an s tier and finally for the last couple tier lists already at the top of ester we have gibby gibraltar literally cannot stop being asked here for one reason the bubble the bubble is just so good it's an indestructible shield that gives you the ability to fast survive your teammates it is the safest get out of jail free card you're in a bad position bubble your teammates down bubble you're weakened bubble no other ability has no counter play like the bubble does and on top of that he has an amazing arm shield passive ability and his ultimate is incredibly good they need to do something about the bubble they gotta make it so that the bubble has a health bar maybe a thousand damage 1500 damage just something that way rampart could be viable because you could just whip out sheila and just tear through the bubble i know this may seem like a lot but i'm sick and tired of gibraltar being at the top of the apex legends meta forever and ever and ever the only downside he has is that he's thick but is that really a downside so yeah please we need to nerf gibby okay wow 20 whole legends really makes this video go a lot longer huh so that is my apex legends tier list do you agree with my list or do you disagree with it please let me know in the comments down below where you would rank all these legends and also when you do write that comment let me know what rank you are because i'm very curious about what people in other ranks think about these legends or if you even play ranked so anyways have you got this far first of all thank you that's pretty cool second of all join my discord discord gg macro that's where you get notified if i'm streaming or when i upload other things and every now and then we have really cool events and the moderators there are really cool and the community is really awesome you can throw fan art or just macro memes in there and i'll probably see it but yeah but without further ado thank you all for watching i'll catch you later [Music] you
