Top 5 most picked Legends
5. Bangalore – 6.8%
With a 6.8% pick rate, Bangalore is the fifth most popular character in Season 21.
Bangalore’s smoke allows her to be a versatile pick, as you can use it for defense cover, or aggressive plays when you need to rush teams down or block off lines of sight for an advantage. Then, to top it off, her Ultimate can be used in much of the same way, and it’s great for crowd control in final circles.
Respawn Entertainment4. Wraith – 7.1%
Wraith is easily one of the most iconic and popular Legends since launch, currently sitting in fourth position with a 7.1% pick rate.
Her abilities are great for survivability and getting the team out of sticky situations, making her a solid offense Legend, but also the perfect selection for rotation and defense when your team needs an escape.
Respawn Entertainment3. Octane – 8.4%
With an 8.4% pick rate, the speed demon Octane has taken the number three spot. Aside from his amusing quips, he is the perfect balance of offense and defense.
Despite being regarded as an offensive Legend, Octane can greatly increase his sprint speed which I find useful for both attacking and retreating. But most Octane users thrive on his Launch Pad Ultimate which is a great tool for rotating and getting into fights quickly.
Respawn Entertainment2. Pathfinder – 10.4%
Pathfinder has consistently been one of the top five picks and is currently sitting in second place with a 10.4% pick rate.
As a Skirmisher class, Pathfinder simply excels in movements and traversing the game’s various maps. His Grappling Hook and Zipline Gun are invaluable assets that will help any team in a pinch – either because of the circle or a third-party situation.
Respawn EntertainmentMost popular Legend in Season 21
Lifeline claims the most popular Legend title in Season 21 with a 10.4% pick rate. This support Legend is by far the best at reviving teammates. Her D.O.C. drone does all the work, allowing her to stay in the fight and provide some protection.
She’s a true combat medic, so it’s no surprise to see her at the top spot.
Respawn EntertainmentWho is the least-used Legend?
Seer is currently the least-picked Legend with 1.1%, despite having a strong kit that can be very helpful in final circle situations.
As always, buffs and nerfs will come and go throughout the season, altering the game’s meta, and subsequently, Legend pick rates. So, be sure to check this piece every now and then to be ahead of the competition.
