  • Is Ballistic Really THAT Bad in Apex Legends Season 21? When it comes to underrated legend picks in apex legends, especially in ranked apex, I really do think Ballistic is good enough and will help you win more 1v1s.

    Balistics tactical is literally an automatic 1v1 win when used correctly. The ability to stop your enemy from shooting even for a second is game changing. That on top of free 50 dmg while still being able to shoot makes him the best character for 1v1s. If his ult wasn’t so underwhelming he would probably be top tier

    And I am glad you are making a video about Ballistic, he is my 2nd main (sometimes 1st) after Fuse and he is sooo underrated. The majority of players don't expect to face a Ballistic in BR or Mixtape as often, so when they get hit by his tactical, that 20 hit + 30 overheat damage is SO GOOD and makes quite a difference when engaging in a fight! And his Ultimate is simply so good! Truly underrated abilities, people should never underestimate a Ballistic player when they are facing one.

    Merchant, I am trying to get 100 kills in every legend to understand them. I recently got 100 kills for ballistic. He is not bad. His passive of 3rd gun is amazing. I start a fight with the Sling Weapon then go down to Primary then Secondary weapons to finish a fight. His tactical can stop enemies from firing for a few seconds with a measly damage of 20 or 10. His Ultimate is one of the best team ability. So I initiate the fight, trade some damage, before healing I start my ult and then my teammates handle it. Then I also get back in the fight with really fast Reload Speed.

    The nerfs that they received for ballistics Tactical in season 18 is kind of dumb because people are complaining it for no reason that he is a balanced Legend in season 17.

    i kinda played have been played ballistic since he came out and i can say about his abilities like the sling its fun to use with the new update of being able to get purple sling guns its fun to use, the tactical can help alot sometimes, it can be used as a trap and for advantages on fights with mid range to close range, and the ultimate its also fun to use since you go fast with most guns and its easier to hit (for me it is lol) but the reason people just dont use it its because the gameplay can be really dry but a bit fun and ranked maybe because there are better legends

    @mikethenotable 13 днів тому +1

    I’ve been playing Ballistic A LOT recently and he’s fun imo. His tac is nice as it’s a free 50 damage if it directly hits them and overheats plus with the second of that overheat you can put in more or the final damage into the enemy, only thing I could say for an improvement for his tac is maybe increase the bullet speed as you can dodge fairly easy. His ult is obviously just great for pushing teams especially in a full team, the weapon in the sling depends on you so no input there but I prefer the RE for obvious reasons *cough* hammerpoints *cough*. His level 2 perks are nice too as having triple tac bullet uptime is nice for blocking a door as most enemies do respect it on the other side the sling perk is also nice just for having a well equipped smg/shotgun or marksman/sniper depending on what you want. There’s ,imo, one clear winner for his level 3 perks which is having two tacs just being to put in some free damage twice impact wise not overheat unless you hit a diff enemy. His slight speed boost perk is meh as the speed boost isn’t really that significant and obviously doesn’t last long so I don’t find it useful but that’s my opinion. Conclusion, I add him into the people I main which are Maggie, Mirage, and Octane. I can’t commit to one legend, constant repetitiveness is something I don’t like.

    I know what you mean about people who use their mic. Every time I’m on a team with people who communicate well I come top 3 at least. I had a run of games the other day where we came 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th (we trolled), 1st and 2nd, with almost 20 kills as a team every game. Then you get a team where nobody comms until you die and THEN they get on the mic to call everyone trash. Usually after they W keyed into the middle of 3 teams and tried to 1v9 while you and your other teammate were already fighting another team because you’ve been trying to keep up with your octane/pathfinder who’s just been racing all over the map with absolutely no regard for good positioning whatsoever. Either that or one teammate goes east and the other goes west and you just give up on them and find a good place to rat. I thought this behaviour would stop in diamond but if anything it’s even worse than it was in gold.

    Ballistic, ironically enough, is the PERFECT legend for beginners. Why? Slingshot completely eliminates the need to loot for an entire weapon - and you can change which weapon ON THE FLY. Whistler is not an overly strong ability BUT it is focused on midfight disabling which helps ever so much when you go against foes that shoot back without being a crutch ability like Horizon's everything, Grapple, etc. And his ult is just unlimited ammo which is perfect for teamfighting.

    Why would you play ballistic when you can play fuse and have 21 different abilities with just fuse alone. You got two knuckle clusters I do 75 damage each that you're able to use every 10 seconds that also give you a speed boost when you hit somebody with it then you can shoot the ring of fire and scan people inside the ring of fire and you can also run through your fire without being slowed down hold 30 different grenades and the list goes on with fuse. Respawn is not in the business of balancing s*** they're in the business of just shuffling s*** around to make it look like they're doing their job.

    Of course it's sleep on..he even is hated for no actual reason and that's just DUMB.. Everyone is like "I only see X legend and Y legend" but they will never try to play any other legend than the X and Y legend they mentioned before... Literally u can buff all low picked legends with each update, more and more to the point where they are very good and players will still play the no brainer ones 😂
    I'm proud to be a Ballistic main! 🫡
