The Apex Legends Tier List (Season 9)

okay so it's been a while since i've made an apex legends tier list and you guys have been begging for it and we hit our twitch sub goal so here it is another apex legends to your list and just like the last couple times that i've done this i'm going to focus heavily on the lower tier characters and explain to you all what i think would be a good buff to make these characters a lot better and with the high two characters i'll also be explaining some nerfs that i think they might need disclaimer this is a tier list for the legends in battle royale is that cool with you cool but without further ado let's begin shall we [Music] f tier once again nobody's really that bad no one's like complete garble doo-doo butter biscuits right so there is nobody in f-tier so let's move on to d-tier deeds here are the legends that desperately need buffs or reworks they're borderline useless and the only legend that is in deeds here is fuse fuse came in with the bang and like an explosion he went away quite quickly his knuckle clusters are decent grenades but you can get more value with an arc star his ultimate while conceptually very strong is very easy to dodge and completely avoid with most high tier characters able to traverse it with ease his ability to carry extra grenades is nice but underwhelming as well he just doesn't bring much to the team as a whole one way to buff him is to make him immune to his own explosives and also immune to the fire of his ultimate while this may seem op at first it will allow for him to do more team coordinated pushes his mobility is also lacking so if fuse is immune to his own explosives he could potentially use this ability as a means to grenade jump with arc stars and frags which would be awesome to see heights here players do but until they buff him he is at the bottom of the tier list next up we have seatier seats here is reserved for legends that are useful in niche situations but they do need buffs as well at the bottom of seats here we have rampart rampart has received small buffs over the seasons but she just doesn't do enough her walls are strong when set up in a choke and playing defensively but they are next to useless offensively her passive is good but limiting her to three guns isn't ideal especially when everybody runs light ammo and sheila is fun but useless ninety percent of the time one way to buff her offensive utility is to allow her to throw her walls similar to how gibby can throw his bubble i also think that buffing her passive to also work with snipers could suit her campy playstyle even better but for now she sits at the bottom of seats here up next we have mirage mirage has successfully bamboozled his fans into thinking that he's gotten better but he really hasn't his tactical does trick a lot of enemies but it is buggy a lot of the times and his ultimate is also an incredible distraction both offensively and defensively and don't get me wrong the ability to revive while invisible is underrated but as a team-based game he doesn't do much for his team he doesn't provide mobility defensive utility or support abilities one way to make his kit better for the team is allowing him to use a decoy to block doors meaning enemies would have to break the door to get through it his bamboozle could also be buffed so that enemies are scanned if they shoot a decoy not just this little bamboozle icon that gives you a rough idea where the enemy is i'm talking a full-on bloodhound scan that lasts a couple seconds these buffs could give mirage a lot more team-based utility without being over the top respawn come on buff mirage next in seats here we have loba loba finally has a bracelet that works but besides joining all the ammo and looking good while doing it loba still needs buffs her mobility is a lot better but still a lot weaker than other legends and doesn't help her team move either her passive is also not that helpful since some purple items aren't that valuable and some blue items are sought after i previously proposed that you'd be able to choose what loba sees through the walls to fit your playstyle and preference but another buff to her mobility would be the ability to throw her bracelet and choose when she wants to teleport meaning she could keep her bracelet behind and go in shoot a couple people up and then escape like sombra and overwatch this could allow for her to play more like a sneaky burglar type character she can go in get a knock finish steal some loot and then just get out of there it would be insane also i think she could throw her bracelet faster like just eat that thing i think it just goes a bit too slow i'm glad that they buffed her but she's still in seats here up next we have kostik this poor boy got neutered hard last season and his kit just feels a lot weaker than he used to be it's still strong indoors and his ultimate is still decent but people are less afraid of going inside and fighting in the gas because the damage is so negligible i don't want his gas overpowered again but it should be a bit stronger just enough where it's scary but not impossible to fight in also his teammate's gas should be a different color please make it blue i won't stop advocating for this i've advocated for this since caustic for noobs and at the top of seats here we have lifeline lifeline while super strong in arenas arguably the best legend in arenas but this is not an arena's here list this is for the battle royale she is a lot weaker in the battle royale her red shield is gone and in exchange you get gold items in the care package and a slightly better healing drone the care package is still very slow puts a marker on you from across the map so people can just see that you're looting and while the loot is nice i would prefer an ultimate that provides more for your team in combat as she is the combat medic i think we as a society have outgrown the care package maybe instead her ultimate can be to create a heal pulse that heals your team instantly for 50 health and 50 shields something like that could be incredible maybe changing the care package to include weapons like it does in arenas could also be a great rework but until they do something about her ultimate which to me just always feels kind of out of place and slow she will stay at the top of sea tier and now we're at b-tier b-tier legends are legends that are good but they do need small buffs because what they can do is pretty good but they are either slightly outclassed or just a little underpowered and at the bottom of beats here we have horizon they really over nerfed horizon like don't get me wrong she was really overpowered before but come on her tactical slowly lifts you up and you can't stay up there for longer than two seconds it's still a decent option to move your whole team vertically but it's significantly worse thankfully what keeps her and beats here is her ultimate which is still incredibly strong and can turn a fight around i think either reverting one of the nerfs to her speed or the length of time that is allowed in the air with her tactical not both would be the only real buff she needs and then she could be eightier but respawn tends to do this thing where when they buff legends they do it too much or when they nerf legends they do it too much and i kind of wish that they did incremental changes and not these big drastic changes in general and they did this to horizon but she's still decent i just think that the nerfs were a bit overkill then we have bangalore bangalore has a great kit with no real synergy her smokes are great defensively her passive is great in general and her ultimate is a lot better than it used to be but as usual her smokes feel more like a hindrance to her team than a help a small buff could be that enemies hit directly with the smoke are marked like a valkyrie scan you know that diamond box thing maybe enemies hit with her ultimate are also scanned in this way this could allow for her to have more team utility in general which she is slightly lacking in a small passive buff could also be that she reloads faster while being shot at but until they buff her she will stay comfortably in b tier up next in beats here we have watson watson's ultimate is still great and it does counter a lot of big ultimates and grenade spam but her fences need to be better her shield regeneration is also hilariously slow you barely notice it so she could also use a slight buff to her passive making her gain shield slightly faster but back to the fences i think she should be able to carry more fence nodes at a time so maybe instead of four it's six and a pretty drastic buff could be that she could put fence nodes on the ceiling to create a bit of a distraction and block layouts in a more unique way these buffs could help her move up in this list in the future next we have pathfinder pathfinder finally isn't low profile and he's still a fan favorite that is very fun to play however his mobility is outclassed by a couple legends in the higher tiers a minor buff he could use is the ability to zipline faster on all ziplines not just his own and a slight cooldown reduction to his grapple wouldn't hurt but otherwise he's not in the worst spot he just needs a better passive since his old one is used as a general recon passive like seriously you're gonna give everybody a recon passive and only give pathfinder the passive to get his ultimate when he scans cool but it's not that good and finally at the top of beats here we have crypto crypto's drone scans are great and his emp is still incredible but what keeps him out of the top tier is how he has to be essentially afk to get value once again a simple buff would be the option to potentially heat his drone like a projectile or even have a mode where the drone follows him passively if this becomes too strong then decreasing the drone's health could fix that but crypto is really at the cusp of top tier that he honestly may not need any buff at all and is just waiting for the right meadow and the right legend to just combo with overall he's a solid legend and his voice actor is super freaking gorgeous so that's why topa beats here and now we have a tier these legends are very strong and they don't really need buffs or nerfs i think if every single legend was eights here the game would be perfect at the bottom of eight's here we got revenant revenant is a controversial legend his silence nades are annoying and very strong his passive is there during different points in the game he has been broken usually due to his totem and combining that with mobility characters so is it the totem or is it the mobility that's the issue that's up for debate but i digress he might need a slight nerf to the radius of his ultimate to counteract the insane mobility this game has but even with that he would still be in a decent place and is a strong choice for a very aggressive team composition next up in eights here we have wraith wraith is still a top tier legend with no more low profile she's even better than before her portal is one of the strongest abilities for rotations her tactical is still amazing for scouting and going in aggressively the only reason she isn't higher is because more characters fulfill her role slightly better than she does but if you main her or use her all the time in ranked or in high level play she's still a great choice she just doesn't do as much as the next characters in a tier next we have our newest legend valkyrie valkyrie in my opinion is the most balanced legend her kit feels strong but fair her passive grants her insanely high mobility at a cost of not being able to shoot her tactical is strong when it hits enemies but it's not overpowered and her ultimate is amazing probably the best ultimate for rotating she is seriously in a great spot and all legends just strive to be as good as valk is she's strong but not op thank you valkyrie we love you and at the top of eight's here we have octane octane's biggest buff over the seasons has been his change to his jump pad being able to slide at the jump pad and fly horizontally is insanely great for rotations or big pushes his jump pad is the best mobility ability in the game as it's extremely versatile and can be used by the whole team while being on a very very short cooldown his tactical used to be a lot better but after they nerfed the amount of health that it costs it isn't as great as it used to be but it's still very useful regardless what makes him strong is all still there passive healing and dumb mobility is what puts octane at the top of a tier and finally we have s tier s tier legends are must picks every team should use these legends when playing ranked or competitive and these legends might need nerfs starting with bloodhound bloodhound does so much for the team they help scout the next ring they can ensure that a building or an area that you're rotating to is safe and their scan just helps the team push enemies with ease this scan is just so incredibly strong and provides so much information for your team especially during their ultimate having a blood hunt on your team will always be helpful especially if the enemy team doesn't have a bloodhound which is not likely because they're that good i don't think that they need nerves necessarily they just need competition maybe the buffs that i suggested to mirage or bangalore could provide that but until then they are at the bottom of s tier and finally the best legend in season 9 of apex legends is kimber gibraltar is just too useful his bubble is a necessity too many times the bubble will save the whole squad kings canyon olympus and world's edge just have too many areas where you have to rotate in the open and if you don't have a gibby to help mitigate damage it feels impossible his ultimate is incredible especially in the final rings to the point where if you don't have your own gibby bubble to protect you from the gibby ultimates you just lose his arm shield while slightly nerfed is still amazing gibraltar honestly might need a slight nerf to the duration of the bubble or respawn could buff other legends to better counter the bubble maybe sheila can melt through it and break it or maybe just give it a health bar in general so that if enough teams are just firing at it it breaks i doubt they would do that i feel like that would ruin the core use of the bubble but i do want to see something happen to gibby because right now he truly is a must pick especially if you're grinding high ranked apex you would just want a gibby on your team trust me and that's it that is my tier list what do you think do you agree do you disagree if so write in the comments down below what your tier list would be seriously i would like to know what you guys think respawn if you're watching buff mirage and i'll catch you later
