for ash I would make her tactical a full-on shuriken give it two charges just pressing it does like some decent damage nothing crazy think of ballistics Whistler. the real special part begins when you charge it up it consumed both charges and when it hits does like one segment of your Shields. this tactical or go full on sword block. Also respawn please make jack cooper a playable legend
Mirage is a tricky one. Theyve changed the behavior of his abilities several times already, and every change has been effective... at first. The problem is once people learn the new behaviors, they stop getting fooled. So they have to keep changing him just for him to be viable.
Yeah the core design is what is holding him down so I think he would need something more reliant like more invisibility time or even make him invisible for a moment when he's using tactical and make clones AI and make them even shoot which would make a noise that you're taking damage when in reality you don't or maybe make them do like minimal damage like 0.25 HP per shot or maybe make him a flashbank character so it punishes people that shoots him now that I think about it it would be pretty cool of he could change invisible and make ai clone and when the enemy shoots it he gets flashbanked so mirage has a window to start atacking
@@aniefblack9506 you mean teammates? logically this isnt possible, only mirage has holo discs to create copies of himself. we fr need some buffs for decoys so they can not only run or copy mirage's movement but also do other things like opening doors or loot crates.
@@memezida1bro it's apex they don't care about their lore. This is proven with Titanfall. Also Like the Mozambique u still only load 3 shells when it's 6
I think loba is high b tier, mostly for ranked. Her being a support legend and having one of the safest movement tacticals makes her pretty good in my opinion. I do agree that she needs more slots in her ultimate.
@@Ginodesruisseaux984definitely not one of the best that shi slow af with a long cooldown and this is coming from a loba main I hate how long her cooldown is
I main loba, bcs of her tactical and ultimate, i love looting and helping teammates with loot and that is perfect, one thing that drive me crazy is movement, she is so slow, maybe its just me but who knows.
Ballistic buff idea: the third weapon increases rarity based of the backpack you’re holding, so if you’re holding a blue backpack, the weapon has blue attachments.
Loba in C tier next to damn lifeline is a bad take, especially when someone like caustic is in B. Shes one of the best solo queue legends, top tier rat, support so you can craft banners, never worry about ammo, get free armor swaps in buildings etc Crazy take imo
Ong the loba downplay is kinda crazy. You see her on a team or 2 in pro comp but not others that were ahead of her. And like you said shes goated for solo que
I also agree with Loba being in A tier with the other guy as well since Rev Reborn is also there and these legends are pretty similar but focused on different area.
Vantages passive is lowkey one of the best in the game lol. Being able to scan squads and see their numbers / shield level is super useful when deciding how to take fights
Precisely. I'm literally rattling off combat info to my friends the entire match. She's amazing if you know how to use her properly (and of course able to hit your shots and be creative with her tactical).
I think fuses grenade rocket jump idea can be different depending on the Granada he is holding Frag Grenade: essentially soldier’s rocket jump from TF2, great height and decent horizontal distance Thermite grenade: It can propel you forward like a shorter octane stim, can be used to slide quicker and jump higher afterwards Arc star: similar to the frag grenade but you can use it on walls, granting you an easy wall jump but less vertical height then a frag
Seems like A LOT for a passive, I agree rocket jumping would be sick but maybe only have it work with frags. I think it’s best to avoid passives that feel too much like another tactical a la Catalyst
A cool change to Ashs ult would be the ability to make free-floating portals that arent bound to a floor. Let her be able to make a portal wherever she's aiming, even up into the air.
When Ash first leaked it was said that his tactic was something like this, plus a former EA playtester (who predicted Conduit's look and abilities, next map, future weapon and other future Apex content) said that they have in I develop a character called "Cave" who can create portals to walk through walls, so they probably used that idea to create this new legend.
@@tannerhamilton6025 I bring you his words when he described the character who according to his description was still at a preliminary stage of development: "He was a dummy model so there wasn't gadgets or such. There was a diagram of the portal like Wraiths. Probably a place holder but then you place it and go through. Like you stare at a building. Put the portal on the wall and walk through and now your in the building on the other side of the portal. It's a limited range and it's supposed to be a Skirmisher, but they can always change their minds over time."
@@matteorusso4001oh right I remember that being a short talk when character info was leaked and some were speculation. Hearing the split gate portal idea sounds like something that would be great. Like just imagine a legend having an ult where they put their hands on the walls and tear open a portal and go through it as it stays for a certain duration. Of course I imagine to give this away, you can see the tearing from the other side and once the portal appears you can be ready for whatever comes through. But imagine ash could have something similar, like it’s line of sight so if you look through a window maybe you can see where you are going to use that sword to teleport inside. it may lead to big brain plays or your own failure if they noticed you with your sword out for a while and they already prepared a trap. I mean these windows shouldn’t be blocking a portal from coming through right?
Vantage has three passives: natural scope, can ping shields and # of squad, and has a built in bullet drop crosshair. Her tactical isn’t bad since it provides a lot of utility but requires thinking. The only thing holding her back besides not providing much to the team is that wide hitbox. She’s so fat that she leaks out of cover, making peaking extremely hard and half cover exposing her head.
Exaclty I feel like being able to see the exact amount of people in a squad and their shields at ANY RANGE at ANY TIME with the natural scope can help a team so much when utilized properly it’s SO EFFECTIVE
5:54 macro it’s a passive that makes it so that when she has an optic on her gun that is 2x or above, there is an extra reticle that pops up that shows you where enemies are, what shields their enemies have and it shows you where your bullets will drop off( no I did not look that up)
Seer's tactical interupting actions like healing and using abilites was fine tbh. As long as it doesn't do 5 other things as well. It was a unique effect that can be balanced properly if they attempt it again
Honestly I think Valk needs a rework entirely. Here's my suggestion: In-universe, Rampart retrofits Valk's jetpack with newer tech as it was getting way too old (explaining the nerfs). This new version trades her obsolete rotation-boosting abilities for increases in her offensive capabilities. Since Rev went berserk and much more firepower is required, subtlety has had its day. Passive: VTOL jets, same as before but with necessary buffs Tactical: Liftoff: stay still for a second and charge up, before launching a decent way into the air and hovering for a few seconds or until cancelled. When hovering, she can strafe slowly and aim and shoot, giving an insane vantage point at the trade off of being extremely open to counterattacks - basically, S7 Horizon with fair weaknesses that make her fun to play against. Ultimate: Flight Core: Valkyrie boosts up if not in the air already and locks onto a nearby enemy (this acts as a scan for the few seconds it is active) while priming the attack, then releases a ton of new-and-improved missiles that will fly in an arc towards the locked-on enemy and shred them if they don't find cover, with a farewell from the iconic deep bass sound of Viper's Northstar - this acts as a flaw to the ability as it can be heard from far away. The missiles can also be fired in a straight line (the range being similar to Catalyst's wall) if no targets are found, just like how Viper did. If there isn't space to fly up and fit the attack safely in the space with the arcing missiles the ability won't activate at all, giving the 'Vertical Clearance Required' message. By having Valk's main weakness as being way too open, her arrogant personality easily comes through in gameplay
Actually, I switch to my sling gun all the time-- usually a PK or Wingman if I'm looking to use it regularly (although this season has been good for the L-Star as well). The extra gun can save your life far more often than it gets credit for; sometimes people just whiff repeatedly and that third gun full of ammo can make all the difference, sometimes a 3-shot with a wingman is just faster, sometimes the PK is more helpful, and sometimes you just want to carry something for every possible range. It also helps to better time your Whistler to coincide with either an enemy reload or weapon swap. That said, at least the top 1% of Ballistic players *do* use their sling weapons without ult, at least on occasion.
Ash feels like a jack of all trades, master of none. She has the passive of a recon, the ultimate of a skirmisher, and her tactical is trying its best. I don't know if reworking her to have a more specialized kit over a well rounded kit would be better or not.
In a recent AMA the developers said that during preliminary testing Ash was even too strong because his tactic blocked characters for too long, so they thought he was fine with these changes. However, after watching her for so long, they decided to think of some serious solutions to make her a more viable character.
another buff for fuse would be able to add different ways of using his ult like a wall of fire, a circle filled in with fire and a bunch of different variety’s of his ult to choose which way you should use it and maybe make it so that it would deploy faster
I don't think Ballistic is that bad, his ultimate is more than the upgraded sling weapon. The increased movement/reload speed and infinite ammo applies to your team, plus it extends by 5 seconds per kill not just by you but anyone on your team affected by Tempest. And teammates don't need to stay in the radius of the ultimate range for the buff to stay active. It works offensively and I also use it reactively against pushes, and his ult is better than Loba's when you have limited ammo in some endgame situations.
His ult is "OKAY". its not great and its not bad. I think it's really good for casual players, but pros and preds dont play him is because they don't need his ULT. His ult does not benefit them. Is a fully kitted gold gun good? yah, but it doesn't matter for pros/preds though because a majority of the time their already kitted up. All pros/preds do in rank is chase down teams and kill them, then they get stacked up on loot for their guns. The fast reload and quick handle doesnt do nothing too for them. When your already the best at the game and can shoot like you have aimbot. A gold gun that reloads fast isn't going to make a major difference. Think about it, one solo pro/pred player can kill a team by themselves with a gun with no attachments, what's a gold gun that reloads quick gonna do that for them? high tier players rather have characters with abilities that can do other things.
A interesting combo I’ve seen is octane, ballistic, and blood hound, all ultra are relatively short and when all combined together creates a very offensive team. Jump pad, tempest, with constant scans and extra time per kill. And the ults comeback so quick next team fight you’ll have it. It’s almost like the revtane meta just different legends. Replacing blood hound for like Gibraltar for defense is a other option too. Plus end ring benefits.
As a Mags main, i can respect your take as well as the suggested buffs. I do also think she should get a longer highlight bonus for damaging enemies, should be able to reload shotties faster, and her wrecking ball should do more damage. Seriously, a more consistent wrecking ball isnt too much to ask for.
I liked your idea for a Lifeline ultimate rework. Including the faster revives and preventing teammates from being finished, they could make it so enemies can’t revive in this area either. Maybe the machine would be like a deployable respawn beacon that works inside buildings and has a glowing heart on it?
According to a former EA playtester (who predicted Conduit's look and abilities, next map, future weapon and other future Apex content), a rework of Lifeline is actually in the works to make the character actually a "Combat Medic", but the respawn beacon is not planned .
Kinda glad Vantage continues to be slept on and not as popular because she’s good but needs some tweaks. Her passive is probably the best in the game for info gathering since, well, she’s the team’s scout. And Echo already does follow you, which you’d know if you played her. But ya. She needs some buffs. Maybe no LoS for Echo and give the girl fortified. She’s built for it and got enough heavy clothing to warrant it
Ash could be great. I think she should get 2 snares and improve the length, speed, and placability of her portal. Could be interesting if her passive was the opposite of Wraith’s. She gets directional hints from the void of where enemies may be.
Buff for Wattson: she can see ultimate accelerants through walls, she can hold three accelerants, and use time is three seconds. But if *ANYTHING,* I want her to be able to see accelerants through walls
I feel like blood Bangalore and horizon is pretty sick, this team is pretty good for push, you can play very dive like and horizon and banga is pretty good ult combo
Apex Mobile had the right idea even if the game ended up getting canceled... It allowed each character to select different perks that made each Legend different even if your enemy picked the same legend since your perks could be different. 1) Mirage could create an Automatic Clone when his shield cracked. He could create clones of his teammates too. 2) Crypto could loot crates and boxes with his drone but it took 3 seconds to loot a single item. 3) Loba herself didn't use up a slot when picking up a weapon from her Ult. 4) Lifelines DOC followed the person it was healing. 5) Gibby's Bubble acted as a heat shield. 6) Wraith gave away the location of enemies aiming at you for a few seconds Each legend had 3 perks that changed the effects of their passive or Tactical.
My one gripe is that vantage’s passive totally counters bangalore and mirage, her jump is better than revenant if you know how to cancel it, and her sniper is op, she’s a tier at least
She's not A tier. Is her sniper ult good? yeah, it's decent, but there are better ults out there that can provide more to your team and yourself as a player...You have a sniper that does about 50 damage meanwhile you have other character with ults that can create walls, drop down bombs, suck in players, create portals that move your entire team, and more... You also need to LAND YOUR SHOTS to even make the Sniper ult count, meanwhile most other characters just need to click a button and their ult does the work. You say her jump is better than Rev if you know how to cancel it, but that's the problem with it. Most people aren't going to learn how to cancel it just to play her. Overall, Vantage is just an okay character. She is definitely NOT A tier like you say. If she is, then that means according to the list she's better than all the B tier characters like Gibraltor and Pathfinder, which is untrue in every aspect. Gibby is one of the best utility characters in the game, and Pathfinder is the best movement character in the game. Putting Vantage above them is ridiculous.
As a lifeline main I think her ultimate can be reworked. She could throw her drone into the air and then there could be like a radius or like a circle. If you are in the circle and on the lifelines team your get a instant evo upgrade and fast heals. This should last around 30-60 seconds. To balance it out there could be music so surrounding teams can know that a lifeline just used her ult. The drone should be thrown up into the air so that teams could destroy (It would have a decent amount of hp though). Also the lifeline couldn’t use her tac or passive during this time. The drone could also specifically follow the lifeline. This would be a good way to make lifeline’s kit aggressive and fun.
According to a former EA playtester (who predicted Conduit's look and abilities, next map, future weapon and other future Apex content), a rework of Lifeline is actually in the works to make the character actually a "Combat Medic".
What I would like to see is a wraith buff that takes away the charge up for her tactical where she does the whole 2 finger thing and just make its duration shorter like it was in season 4.
I vantage buff idea I had was allowing her to switch to her 3x zoom she has when not holding a gun on snipers and marksman rifles, it would really give her an advantage with the weapons they’re trying to push her to use. Imagine having usable optics on a scout when you first grab it.
Loba is bare minimum an A tier she’s 100 percent the best character for respawning teammates with the new system. And her q is pretty good now in my opinion it’s a decent escape tool and an amazing off angle tool. I’m curious why he thinks the q is bad.
@@aecraall tacs are supposed to be loud because this game is based off of audio queues. Almost every tier list loba is s tier, macro just doesn’t like loba
For ash I’ve been having ideas, her tactical is decent! I just think it would be cool if it stuck to more than one person, it’s not that bad of cc so it wouldn’t be as strong, or having two tacticals would be great as well, her passive should be a pop up like bamboozle so she can just ping where teams just died instead of going into map and looking. Her port could also be faster :) that’s my ideas P.s. I knew what vantage passive was
One buff I whould give to mirage is a couple things. 1: give is clones a bit of health. Not to much so that it’s broken, but just enough so people don’t get easily fooled. And this could potentially be able to use it as cover. 2: giving his clones modes. Point mode, which is it just moving to a point, mirror mode, which is mirroring his movements, and Battle mode, were the act like bots, and “shot” near by enemies. This whould add more versatility and make it more confusing for enemies.
As a Ash main, i already accepted she will be in D tier for a long while. Poor Ash has been needing buffs since season 11, we are in season 19 and we barely got anything for her. Her passive of scanning deathboxes is useless, the other passive is cool but not that impactful, tatical is situational and barely holds people in place, ultimate is okay but outclassed by Wraith. They should just stop adding legends for a while and focus on making underwhelming legends better.
I agree with everything you said about Ash. You were SPOT on. Her passive is cool..but it really is useless. The truth is that no one is actively using her passive..it tells you where the enemy is...but most of the time, it's not like your gonna hunt them down, and even if you do, your just gonna run into another team on the way and forget about the team you going after, Her passive really doesn't do anything except give you information, but that information does nothing too because the enemy is probably too far for the information to even matter at that point. The passive is just bad... Her tactical isn't bad, but it's not good either. like you said. It's situational. Which makes it not versatile in most fights.
Macro, you are a prophet. You correctly called Conduit being a part of the competitive meta and also had the future sight with a lot of your legend suggestions. A good bit of your buff ideas will now be integrated into the Season 20 legend upgrade system with the new perks. Well done Macro, you earned a new subscriber.
I think something ballistic could get is almost an inverse of his sling. He's always decked out with a p2020 or something bad, but it can use every attachment in the game. Maybe give it a CAR mechanic too
For Mirage they can give his clones hp like about 100hp which will keep them longer distracted and will only bamboozle when the clone dies.Mirage can also use his decoys as cover
As a crypto main I believe he does need a buff. The drone just doesn’t feel as active. I still believe the drone should allowed to follow you. Or at least a shorter cooldown after it’s destroyed. Or at LEAST an actual passive. His passive is just a description of his tactical.
I have never even played a single second of Apex Legends, yet I religiously watch every single one of Macro's videos on the subject, and have viewed both Macdowns twice To me this really speaks volumes on the Macro quality and charm
I like everything except for Maggie’s placement. There was no talk about her passive which is kind of alright because the shotgun movement speed isn’t that big of a deal, but scanning enemies when dealing damage partially counters Bangalore’s smoke. It’s super easy to track enemies through it after getting a single hit.
I am a dedicated Rampart player. I picked her up after watching a tiktok live. A pro player was using her and breaking down why she is so underratedly viable. Realizing she fit my play style and how I approach fights, haven't put her down since. She's really good for players that like to play chess with their opponents
One amazing buff bor ash, making his taktikal like catalyst que, even if you cant hit enemy it should stay there until someone hits it. And there could be two at most. This was possible at ApexM and this made her tactical way useful in blocking doorways and tight pathways, when someone is hard chasing you. You might also get random sticks when you leave one at zoprails or chokes. For her portal she can use it second time in 5 secons after using it, but the second will be only half the distance. For example 50+25m.( This was also possible in ApexM).This will stop enamy from taking your portal, grant longer range, and give bit more flexibility.
As a mirage and ballistic main, i can definitely agree that mirage should duplicate his teammates and gain another decoy. But he isn't a bad legend, the tricks and confusion you can deploy, is more effective than you say. As for ballistics passive, the sling does come in handy in 1v1s, way more than i thought. I do like your suggestion for the passive, that would be sick.
I think crypto should have the same ability as vantage, he can move his drone to a certain position but to make sure it’s not too similar and super broken, he can only do it once. If he wants to do it again he has to recall the drone So he can enter the drone obviously to move it, but if ur fighting and want a better position of the enemies, you can move ur drone (like how you move echo) but only once and use a different button, which becomes disabled once used, and enabled after recalled and put out again.
A cool buff for seer would be buffing his tactical a bit more, keeping it hard to hit but still stunning heals, revives, etc. Then, when he pops his ult, a cool feature would be half cooldown on his tactical, and a “sure hit” effect like domain expansion so he guarantees a shot with his tactical, giving him a much better edge fighting within his ult and making it more threatening to enter. For a mirage buff a cool concept would be able to switch positions with your decoy, which means that you can’t ever ignore a decoy even if it isn’t the actual player, which can make for some big outplays. How it fits into the lore? A magician never reveals his secrets
I would say catalyst needs a buff tbh, it’s hard to hold off a building against a good squad. I think they’ve done well at nerfing her ult but she should be able to lay down 3 traps as opposed to two.
I’m going to explain why it gives you a blue shield bc if you have a white shield it will give you a blue one if you have a blue one it gives you a purple one it’s just to let you get a better shield 😅
I disagree with Watson and Loba, bc Watson is very useful, her ult can help win a fight with ease, and lobas tactical is not very good, but it is a great escape, lastly her ultimate in very good with the infinite ammo and easy loot, I think they should be low A tier atleast
Valk is easily higher in C tier. Her passive mobility is very strong and just because her ult now competes with a survival item doesnt suddenly mean its useless. Having a evac tower means you can use your ult to scan, if you dont find a tower you still have ult, ult is way safer, and having ult means you can keep a different survival item for utility. Her only difference now that evacs exist is that she isnt *required* on a team, other than that she has only benefited from Evacs existing.
I dont get why they changed rev. I hadnt visited apex in months but when I came back i saw my main was completely changed. I feel like he went from a sadistic robot killer to a cliche hunter. His ability locking ability was fun to use and I loved being the type of revenant thats always on your back. The totem offered some play for teammates too. He was a great pushing legend but now his pounce is weak and an inferior movement ability with his ultimate being weak for pushing, its just extra health. Thats just my opinion, hes now a selfish push legend with a movement tactical that wasnt needed, we already have a great passive
Fuse in C is wild. Everything else is a W but just stacking 2 nades per slot alone plus the assault passive puts him higher for me. I'm also just a diamond skrub tho lol
5:51 As a vantage main *cough cough* Vantage’s passive is where you can “scan enemies” knowing what legend they are, what shield lvl they’re at, and how far they are. This Passive is only usable on a 2x sight or greater but can also be used if you don’t have a weapon equipped in your hands. Her Passive is pretty good if you want to push a team if they have 1-2 players and weak shield but isn’t in end game situation. I also agreed with all of your cool ideas (:
Tbh I think vantage is definitely an A tier bc of her ability to give some much info about a team from far away, ability to escape bad situations, dominant in long range battles.
Vintages tactical is actually better than revs in everyway only issue is Los which can be over come with well planned escape routes or getting into a groove of recalling echo for next jump. Giving her just lazersight aim at cqc would be nasty
i just realized while watching your video that it's quite weird that i have never played overwatch, no nothing about it and have no intention of playing it but i still watch every single one of your videos.
Listen Macro My Boi Your their list Is Objectively True, BUT The Only Thing I would say you didn't address is Just How Bad Wattson fences are. and Yes I know not every wattson player plays her where she uses her fences mid fight but ever since season 11 Her fences placement just hasn't been reliable mid fight or even just at random times Respawn NEEDS To revert her fence placement changes and Watty will be more near A Their Imo
I think comparing Rev and Vantage tactical doesn't seem fair, since they both have a different purpose. Rev is mostly battle movement Vantage is A to B relocation, which makes more sense for her character (angles and stuff). You can easily predict where and how far you're going to go (unlike Rev's clunky chargeup). It has actual reliable verticality, being able to jump on top of most buildings easy. All that plus an optional double jump at the end. There are downsides, like Echo revealing your position if you don't recall him, and of course recalling Echo after each jump. But a more fair comparison would be between Ash ult and Vantage tactical.
Yah. i agree with how you said rev and vantages movement ability have different purposes, but I think macro was talking more about the grand scheme of things, because if we're talking only about movement wise.. I think most people would want Rev's jump where you can just click or hold to jump farther instantly. Vantage jump isnt bad, but you have more steps to do. Her drawback is needing to call her bat buddy back, and sending it out to where you wanna jump to. Which isn't complicated, but it like I said, it requires more steps, and people rather just click a button to jump. The other reason why Vantage jump isn't that good too is because her jumps predictable. All you need to do is look where her bat buddy is and you'll know where she'll land, it's similar to Loba's bracelet. Lastly, Revs jump speed is faster. Vantage is slower by a few seconds. This is the main reason Vantage can get easily shot out of the air..well, her hitbox plays into it as well, but still, the jump speed is one of the reasons too. So in the grand scheme of things, Vantage has more drawbacks than Rev in terms of movement.
I THINK a GOOD ability for seers tactical would be an ability that i would call: drone burst! it would be like a little cloud of drones that seer sends out in front of him that bounces back enemies and higlights them (it may help if you think of it like a bloodhound scan but executed by drones with 6 metres range and it bounces enemies back). that could help him because it would have a direct combat effect (pushing the enemy back) and a recon effect (scanning them after they got hit) that would not make him overpowered, since he would only be able to scan if the enemy is in close combat but it would give him an advantage, because he gets the knockback on the enemy, allowing him to reposition himself during the pushback and then fight against an enemy he has knowledge about
Being able to push back an enemy is TOO STRONG for a tactical. Theirs's a reason Mad Maggies ult pushes people back and stuns them. It's because it's good. Think about it, your fighting an enemy, and then you get pushed back and you aim goes off the enemy. And this happens every 25 seconds, because its a tactical. TACTICAL ARE USUALLY ONLY 20 - 25 SECONDS LONG.
lets go, no Wattson slander here. Lots of tier lists have her at the bottom as useless and your a troll if you play her. This was great to see someone take into account what she can do and not immediately throw her down.
I think mirage's problem is that even if the clones are shot, nothing happens because there are a lot of scanners who can already find you. If shooting the clones causes like a small flash bang or something, and more was done to make the clones convincing, then mirage could be a real threat.
Your lists are honestly the best. You say things ive always thought that people disagree with. Your voice has more weight and can actually change peoples minds. Im glad im not the only one. Btw, i do think caustic should be a bit lower. Even though i agree on all your comments. Ballistics tactical should have a longer overheat effect. Right now its a bit underwhelming. And i disagree on his passive. I use the sling weapon un ultified all the time, people underestimate it. A back up shotgun, alternator or even a smg is really clutch. I usually go a long range weapon like a 3030, a sentinel or a triple take, then i go for a shotgun or smg in my secondary. Then i usually use a alternator as a backup because even though the ammo is low. Its enough and lasts long enough to finnish them off, because you already have used a car or a r99 on them, and if thats not enough, then you can pull out the lucky noscope with a triple take. And to add even more, when i ult, i get a dissruptor alternator with 1 sec reloads and no movement slowness, like come on, its pretty busted. But at the end of the day, its in the top ranked play, i get it if he isnt that good, but for pubs, he is a stomper.
i actually think that vantage has the best movement ability in the game. it goes further than a revenant jump, gives you incredible height, has an effective cooldown of 15 seconds and is fast and makes it hard to get shot midair, i really dont know anything comparable to THAT and her passive sould get a little more attention from the devs... thats right
Bro 1 grenade on a cat door is all you need I get it a lot of ppl don't carry nades or have nades at all times but even some legends can break doors with abilities if there's one thing that doesn't need nerfs it's that imo there's actual counters that every legend and player could use against it lmao
Vantage Main Here, if you think vantage is below low A tier, you’re bad at playing vantage, and yes you can use the sniper ULT in final ring in the right scenario and it wins games. Passive allows you to pick and choose which team to push by telling you HOW MANY people are in the squad, and their armor level. Tactical is an extremely useful reset in fights, and repositioning tool to catch people in a blind side with a few sniper shots. I use a sentinel w/ the sniper ult. It’s unmatched tbh, plus added bonus to all snipers. You get a bullet drop indicator. EDIT: echo does follow vantage. 55m behind you so when you round the corner on a team and need an escape echo is 55m behind you, and if you put echo low to the ground on all launches you can use the forward momentum to do a slide after the launch and go even further.
Showing my boy Crypto some love. Def thought he’d be D tier, but he’s definitely B tier in the right hands. IMO the most technical legend. Can’t just Q your way out of mistakes. There is so much to his kit that isn’t told to you. Gotta put the time in.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why everyone forgets ashs PASSIVE!!! she can not only scan enemy deathboxes but she can ALSO see EVERY death on the map and when exactly it happened and where! this is kinda STRONG in ranked, since you automatically know the position of the fighting squads but yeah, i am also praying for a ronin like ash set
The thumbnail is getting super crowded 🤣
Fr “yuh” 😂
for ash I would make her tactical a full-on shuriken give it two charges just pressing it does like some decent damage nothing crazy think of ballistics Whistler. the real special part begins when you charge it up it consumed both charges and when it hits does like one segment of your Shields. this tactical or go full on sword block. Also respawn please make jack cooper a playable legend
Macro can you please shoutout me in your next video
Meep! Meep!

Mirage is a tricky one. Theyve changed the behavior of his abilities several times already, and every change has been effective... at first. The problem is once people learn the new behaviors, they stop getting fooled. So they have to keep changing him just for him to be viable.
Yeah the core design is what is holding him down so I think he would need something more reliant like more invisibility time or even make him invisible for a moment when he's using tactical and make clones AI and make them even shoot which would make a noise that you're taking damage when in reality you don't or maybe make them do like minimal damage like 0.25 HP per shot or maybe make him a flashbank character so it punishes people that shoots him now that I think about it it would be pretty cool of he could change invisible and make ai clone and when the enemy shoots it he gets flashbanked so mirage has a window to start atacking
Cool, although making decoys of his t8s is also cool😎 . In fact, why isn't this an option😢
@@aniefblack9506 I think the main thing that must be done to mirage is make clones ai and make them able to shoot
@@aniefblack9506 you mean teammates? logically this isnt possible, only mirage has holo discs to create copies of himself.
we fr need some buffs for decoys so they can not only run or copy mirage's movement but also do other things like opening doors or loot crates.
@@memezida1bro it's apex they don't care about their lore. This is proven with Titanfall. Also Like the Mozambique u still only load 3 shells when it's 6
I think loba is high b tier, mostly for ranked. Her being a support legend and having one of the safest movement tacticals makes her pretty good in my opinion. I do agree that she needs more slots in her ultimate.
Loba is A tier easy. Her Q is one of the best INO
@@Ginodesruisseaux984definitely not one of the best that shi slow af with a long cooldown and this is coming from a loba main I hate how long her cooldown is
I main loba, bcs of her tactical and ultimate, i love looting and helping teammates with loot and that is perfect, one thing that drive me crazy is movement, she is so slow, maybe its just me but who knows.
Ballistic buff idea: the third weapon increases rarity based of the backpack you’re holding, so if you’re holding a blue backpack, the weapon has blue attachments.
Dam bro you cooking
Gold bag would be broken lol. But fr this could work if it capped at blue attachments for a gold bag.
I think it should be one tier lower than the backpack for balance
Naw purple for gold and purple bag@@williamraboine
Nah this is it.
Loba in C tier next to damn lifeline is a bad take, especially when someone like caustic is in B. Shes one of the best solo queue legends, top tier rat, support so you can craft banners, never worry about ammo, get free armor swaps in buildings etc Crazy take imo
Ong the loba downplay is kinda crazy. You see her on a team or 2 in pro comp but not others that were ahead of her. And like you said shes goated for solo que
Yeah loba same tier as lifeline is pretty wild
Loba is B tier at WORST. Id say her along with some others shoulda been A
I dont think hes ever played loba tbh
I also agree with Loba being in A tier with the other guy as well since Rev Reborn is also there and these legends are pretty similar but focused on different area.
Vantages passive is lowkey one of the best in the game lol. Being able to scan squads and see their numbers / shield level is super useful when deciding how to take fights
Me and my squad have a vantage and it’s a huge benefit. We always push teams with weak shields or solos or duos. It’s great
I agree. Her ability to scan armor and number of teammates make or break if you wanna fight them or not IMO
Precisely. I'm literally rattling off combat info to my friends the entire match. She's amazing if you know how to use her properly (and of course able to hit your shots and be creative with her tactical).
its honestly useless when you got a full 3 man team and not solo queueing so that means your just pushing everything in sight without a care
yup
I think fuses grenade rocket jump idea can be different depending on the Granada he is holding
Frag Grenade: essentially soldier’s rocket jump from TF2, great height and decent horizontal distance
Thermite grenade: It can propel you forward like a shorter octane stim, can be used to slide quicker and jump higher afterwards
Arc star: similar to the frag grenade but you can use it on walls, granting you an easy wall jump but less vertical height then a frag
I didn’t read jackshit but I agree 👍
Also didn’t read jackshit but I agree👍
Seems like A LOT for a passive, I agree rocket jumping would be sick but maybe only have it work with frags. I think it’s best to avoid passives that feel too much like another tactical a la Catalyst
@@jamesconnolly849exactly
A cool change to Ashs ult would be the ability to make free-floating portals that arent bound to a floor. Let her be able to make a portal wherever she's aiming, even up into the air.
As an ash main i agree. And her ult distance needs to be increased a bit as well.
When Ash first leaked it was said that his tactic was something like this, plus a former EA playtester (who predicted Conduit's look and abilities, next map, future weapon and other future Apex content) said that they have in I develop a character called "Cave" who can create portals to walk through walls, so they probably used that idea to create this new legend.
@@matteorusso4001 Cave is gonna have Splitgate portals? That'd be siiick.
@@tannerhamilton6025 I bring you his words when he described the character who according to his description was still at a preliminary stage of development:
"He was a dummy model so there wasn't gadgets or such. There was a diagram of the portal like Wraiths. Probably a place holder but then you place it and go through. Like you stare at a building. Put the portal on the wall and walk through and now your in the building on the other side of the portal. It's a limited range and it's supposed to be a Skirmisher, but they can always change their minds over time."
@@matteorusso4001oh right I remember that being a short talk when character info was leaked and some were speculation. Hearing the split gate portal idea sounds like something that would be great.
Like just imagine a legend having an ult where they put their hands on the walls and tear open a portal and go through it as it stays for a certain duration. Of course I imagine to give this away, you can see the tearing from the other side and once the portal appears you can be ready for whatever comes through.
But imagine ash could have something similar, like it’s line of sight so if you look through a window maybe you can see where you are going to use that sword to teleport inside. it may lead to big brain plays or your own failure if they noticed you with your sword out for a while and they already prepared a trap. I mean these windows shouldn’t be blocking a portal from coming through right?
So honored to be a part of this video! Once again, standing by what I said. If crypto could revive people in his drone it would be sick
That would just make him lifeline
Vantage has three passives: natural scope, can ping shields and # of squad, and has a built in bullet drop crosshair. Her tactical isn’t bad since it provides a lot of utility but requires thinking. The only thing holding her back besides not providing much to the team is that wide hitbox. She’s so fat that she leaks out of cover, making peaking extremely hard and half cover exposing her head.
She should be a fortified legend.
@@titoburrito200 she is not that big
Since she is still young, they could make her taller and say "oh she grew up" then slap the fortify perk on her. Or say she ate a lot idk
Exaclty I feel like being able to see the exact amount of people in a squad and their shields at ANY RANGE at ANY TIME with the natural scope can help a team so much when utilized properly it’s SO EFFECTIVE
i just wish the charge up time for her tactical was like cut in half
I don't understand how people don't know that you can hold Vantage's tactical without having to bring echo somewhere specific everytime.
5:54 macro it’s a passive that makes it so that when she has an optic on her gun that is 2x or above, there is an extra reticle that pops up that shows you where enemies are, what shields their enemies have and it shows you where your bullets will drop off( no I did not look that up)
Dont forget you can also scope with your fists and have the same effect
Exactly! I knew that because I played her once & now a friend plays her!
@@edgewastaken2432 yes of course
Seer's tactical interupting actions like healing and using abilites was fine tbh. As long as it doesn't do 5 other things as well. It was a unique effect that can be balanced properly if they attempt it again
Honestly I think Valk needs a rework entirely. Here's my suggestion:
In-universe, Rampart retrofits Valk's jetpack with newer tech as it was getting way too old (explaining the nerfs). This new version trades her obsolete rotation-boosting abilities for increases in her offensive capabilities. Since Rev went berserk and much more firepower is required, subtlety has had its day.
Passive: VTOL jets, same as before but with necessary buffs
Tactical: Liftoff: stay still for a second and charge up, before launching a decent way into the air and hovering for a few seconds or until cancelled. When hovering, she can strafe slowly and aim and shoot, giving an insane vantage point at the trade off of being extremely open to counterattacks - basically, S7 Horizon with fair weaknesses that make her fun to play against.
Ultimate: Flight Core: Valkyrie boosts up if not in the air already and locks onto a nearby enemy (this acts as a scan for the few seconds it is active) while priming the attack, then releases a ton of new-and-improved missiles that will fly in an arc towards the locked-on enemy and shred them if they don't find cover, with a farewell from the iconic deep bass sound of Viper's Northstar - this acts as a flaw to the ability as it can be heard from far away. The missiles can also be fired in a straight line (the range being similar to Catalyst's wall) if no targets are found, just like how Viper did. If there isn't space to fly up and fit the attack safely in the space with the arcing missiles the ability won't activate at all, giving the 'Vertical Clearance Required' message.
By having Valk's main weakness as being way too open, her arrogant personality easily comes through in gameplay
Actually, I switch to my sling gun all the time-- usually a PK or Wingman if I'm looking to use it regularly (although this season has been good for the L-Star as well). The extra gun can save your life far more often than it gets credit for; sometimes people just whiff repeatedly and that third gun full of ammo can make all the difference, sometimes a 3-shot with a wingman is just faster, sometimes the PK is more helpful, and sometimes you just want to carry something for every possible range.
It also helps to better time your Whistler to coincide with either an enemy reload or weapon swap.
That said, at least the top 1% of Ballistic players *do* use their sling weapons without ult, at least on occasion.
Ash feels like a jack of all trades, master of none. She has the passive of a recon, the ultimate of a skirmisher, and her tactical is trying its best. I don't know if reworking her to have a more specialized kit over a well rounded kit would be better or not.
In a recent AMA the developers said that during preliminary testing Ash was even too strong because his tactic blocked characters for too long, so they thought he was fine with these changes.
However, after watching her for so long, they decided to think of some serious solutions to make her a more viable character.
another buff for fuse would be able to add different ways of using his ult like a wall of fire, a circle filled in with fire and a bunch of different variety’s of his ult to choose which way you should use it and maybe make it so that it would deploy faster
I don't think Ballistic is that bad, his ultimate is more than the upgraded sling weapon. The increased movement/reload speed and infinite ammo applies to your team, plus it extends by 5 seconds per kill not just by you but anyone on your team affected by Tempest. And teammates don't need to stay in the radius of the ultimate range for the buff to stay active. It works offensively and I also use it reactively against pushes, and his ult is better than Loba's when you have limited ammo in some endgame situations.
His ult is "OKAY". its not great and its not bad. I think it's really good for casual players, but pros and preds dont play him is because they don't need his ULT. His ult does not benefit them. Is a fully kitted gold gun good? yah, but it doesn't matter for pros/preds though because a majority of the time their already kitted up. All pros/preds do in rank is chase down teams and kill them, then they get stacked up on loot for their guns. The fast reload and quick handle doesnt do nothing too for them. When your already the best at the game and can shoot like you have aimbot. A gold gun that reloads fast isn't going to make a major difference. Think about it, one solo pro/pred player can kill a team by themselves with a gun with no attachments, what's a gold gun that reloads quick gonna do that for them? high tier players rather have characters with abilities that can do other things.
A interesting combo I’ve seen is octane, ballistic, and blood hound, all ultra are relatively short and when all combined together creates a very offensive team. Jump pad, tempest, with constant scans and extra time per kill. And the ults comeback so quick next team fight you’ll have it. It’s almost like the revtane meta just different legends. Replacing blood hound for like Gibraltar for defense is a other option too. Plus end ring benefits.
As a Mags main, i can respect your take as well as the suggested buffs. I do also think she should get a longer highlight bonus for damaging enemies, should be able to reload shotties faster, and her wrecking ball should do more damage. Seriously, a more consistent wrecking ball isnt too much to ask for.
I liked your idea for a Lifeline ultimate rework. Including the faster revives and preventing teammates from being finished, they could make it so enemies can’t revive in this area either. Maybe the machine would be like a deployable respawn beacon that works inside buildings and has a glowing heart on it?
According to a former EA playtester (who predicted Conduit's look and abilities, next map, future weapon and other future Apex content), a rework of Lifeline is actually in the works to make the character actually a "Combat Medic", but the respawn beacon is not planned .
12:28 bro predicted the future
4:20 did it again
Kinda glad Vantage continues to be slept on and not as popular because she’s good but needs some tweaks. Her passive is probably the best in the game for info gathering since, well, she’s the team’s scout. And Echo already does follow you, which you’d know if you played her. But ya. She needs some buffs. Maybe no LoS for Echo and give the girl fortified. She’s built for it and got enough heavy clothing to warrant it
Ash could be great. I think she should get 2 snares and improve the length, speed, and placability of her portal.
Could be interesting if her passive was the opposite of Wraith’s. She gets directional hints from the void of where enemies may be.
its crazy how some of these recommendations are coming next season as armor perks, you did that macro
Buff for Wattson: she can see ultimate accelerants through walls, she can hold three accelerants, and use time is three seconds. But if *ANYTHING,* I want her to be able to see accelerants through walls
Back in my apex days, there were only the base characters
I feel like blood Bangalore and horizon is pretty sick, this team is pretty good for push, you can play very dive like and horizon and banga is pretty good ult combo
Apex Mobile had the right idea even if the game ended up getting canceled...
It allowed each character to select different perks that made each Legend different even if your enemy picked the same legend since your perks could be different.
1) Mirage could create an Automatic Clone when his shield cracked. He could create clones of his teammates too.
2) Crypto could loot crates and boxes with his drone but it took 3 seconds to loot a single item.
3) Loba herself didn't use up a slot when picking up a weapon from her Ult.
4) Lifelines DOC followed the person it was healing.
5) Gibby's Bubble acted as a heat shield.
6) Wraith gave away the location of enemies aiming at you for a few seconds
Each legend had 3 perks that changed the effects of their passive or Tactical.
My one gripe is that vantage’s passive totally counters bangalore and mirage, her jump is better than revenant if you know how to cancel it, and her sniper is op, she’s a tier at least
She's not A tier. Is her sniper ult good? yeah, it's decent, but there are better ults out there that can provide more to your team and yourself as a player...You have a sniper that does about 50 damage meanwhile you have other character with ults that can create walls, drop down bombs, suck in players, create portals that move your entire team, and more... You also need to LAND YOUR SHOTS to even make the Sniper ult count, meanwhile most other characters just need to click a button and their ult does the work. You say her jump is better than Rev if you know how to cancel it, but that's the problem with it. Most people aren't going to learn how to cancel it just to play her. Overall, Vantage is just an okay character. She is definitely NOT A tier like you say. If she is, then that means according to the list she's better than all the B tier characters like Gibraltor and Pathfinder, which is untrue in every aspect. Gibby is one of the best utility characters in the game, and Pathfinder is the best movement character in the game. Putting Vantage above them is ridiculous.
As a Vantage main, she’s at least bottom of B. She needs some more tweaks here and there before even I’d call her A tier
Hey Macro nice video. Heres my tierlist, comp only no ranked or pubs:
S: cat, bang,
A: hound, horizon, conduit
B: fuse, wattson, caustic, wraith, newcastle
C: Gibby, Crypto, Ash, Loba, Rev, Rampart
D: Lifeline, Path, Valk, Maggie,
F: Octane, Vantage, Mirage, Seer, Ballistic
As a lifeline main I think her ultimate can be reworked. She could throw her drone into the air and then there could be like a radius or like a circle. If you are in the circle and on the lifelines team your get a instant evo upgrade and fast heals. This should last around 30-60 seconds. To balance it out there could be music so surrounding teams can know that a lifeline just used her ult. The drone should be thrown up into the air so that teams could destroy (It would have a decent amount of hp though). Also the lifeline couldn’t use her tac or passive during this time. The drone could also specifically follow the lifeline. This would be a good way to make lifeline’s kit aggressive and fun.
According to a former EA playtester (who predicted Conduit's look and abilities, next map, future weapon and other future Apex content), a rework of Lifeline is actually in the works to make the character actually a "Combat Medic".
"As a Lifeline main I think [make Lifeline absolutely broken]"
Okay lmao
What I would like to see is a wraith buff that takes away the charge up for her tactical where she does the whole 2 finger thing and just make its duration shorter like it was in season 4.
I vantage buff idea I had was allowing her to switch to her 3x zoom she has when not holding a gun on snipers and marksman rifles, it would really give her an advantage with the weapons they’re trying to push her to use. Imagine having usable optics on a scout when you first grab it.
Loba is bare minimum an A tier she’s 100 percent the best character for respawning teammates with the new system. And her q is pretty good now in my opinion it’s a decent escape tool and an amazing off angle tool. I’m curious why he thinks the q is bad.
On god
its bad because everyone can see where youre going, its loud and bugs out constantly
@@aecraall tacs are supposed to be loud because this game is based off of audio queues. Almost every tier list loba is s tier, macro just doesn’t like loba
For ash I’ve been having ideas, her tactical is decent! I just think it would be cool if it stuck to more than one person, it’s not that bad of cc so it wouldn’t be as strong, or having two tacticals would be great as well, her passive should be a pop up like bamboozle so she can just ping where teams just died instead of going into map and looking. Her port could also be faster :) that’s my ideas
P.s. I knew what vantage passive was

Every buff he said for every legend came in season 20 as perks😂😂
Great work brother
mirage still sucks
Lifeline ult idea: Keep the care package but if your teammates are dead and you use it, it gives you their banners.
Cracked
Could be clutch in the end game, especially if the care package also drops a mobile respawn.
Always a good day when macro uploads
Would love to see a weapons tier list too! :D
One buff I whould give to mirage is a couple things.
1: give is clones a bit of health. Not to much so that it’s broken, but just enough so people don’t get easily fooled. And this could potentially be able to use it as cover.
2: giving his clones modes. Point mode, which is it just moving to a point, mirror mode, which is mirroring his movements, and Battle mode, were the act like bots, and “shot” near by enemies. This whould add more versatility and make it more confusing for enemies.
i agree, and also make it so that you can put them on ziplines :P having them be like a 'bot' would be great.
As a Ash main, i already accepted she will be in D tier for a long while.
Poor Ash has been needing buffs since season 11, we are in season 19 and we barely got anything for her.
Her passive of scanning deathboxes is useless, the other passive is cool but not that impactful, tatical is situational and barely holds people in place, ultimate is okay but outclassed by Wraith.
They should just stop adding legends for a while and focus on making underwhelming legends better.
I agree with everything you said about Ash. You were SPOT on. Her passive is cool..but it really is useless. The truth is that no one is actively using her passive..it tells you where the enemy is...but most of the time, it's not like your gonna hunt them down, and even if you do, your just gonna run into another team on the way and forget about the team you going after, Her passive really doesn't do anything except give you information, but that information does nothing too because the enemy is probably too far for the information to even matter at that point. The passive is just bad... Her tactical isn't bad, but it's not good either. like you said. It's situational. Which makes it not versatile in most fights.
I know what Vantages passive is... and it's pretty damn helpful. I always feel like I'm missing her passive when I chose others
As a aggressive lifeline player, instead of using the care package as good loot, I use it as cover and shield swaps in fights
Macro, you are a prophet. You correctly called Conduit being a part of the competitive meta and also had the future sight with a lot of your legend suggestions. A good bit of your buff ideas will now be integrated into the Season 20 legend upgrade system with the new perks. Well done Macro, you earned a new subscriber.
I think something ballistic could get is almost an inverse of his sling. He's always decked out with a p2020 or something bad, but it can use every attachment in the game. Maybe give it a CAR mechanic too
Finally someone who doesn't put Crypto at the bottom just because he is not fun to play.
For Mirage they can give his clones hp like about 100hp which will keep them longer distracted and will only bamboozle when the clone dies.Mirage can also use his decoys as cover
no no more cover legends
Maggie is super slept on, the shotgun passive is a nice plus and when she damages another legend they become highlighted for a short amount of time
A really fun fix for Mirage would be random clones. Imagine shooting at him and all of a sudden you see YOU running at you.
Kinda agree, but as a certified Loba main I must day that she is atleast B tier. C tier is just so low for a legend that gas these abilities
As a crypto main I believe he does need a buff. The drone just doesn’t feel as active. I still believe the drone should allowed to follow you. Or at least a shorter cooldown after it’s destroyed. Or at LEAST an actual passive. His passive is just a description of his tactical.
I love crypto mains wanna play ? 😎
Im pro crypto (i agree, he needs a buff)
@@Zertenedi need a teammate, i am alone solo queuing :sadface:
One buff for mirage is when healing he goes invisible like the passive when revive teammates
1 hour gang 👇
Derp meep
Wrd
Ai moment 🤖🤖👶
Yup
Yo
I have never even played a single second of Apex Legends, yet I religiously watch every single one of Macro's videos on the subject, and have viewed both Macdowns twice
To me this really speaks volumes on the Macro quality and charm
Seer on f tier is crazy
No it’s not
The editing on this is actually so good
I like everything except for Maggie’s placement. There was no talk about her passive which is kind of alright because the shotgun movement speed isn’t that big of a deal, but scanning enemies when dealing damage partially counters Bangalore’s smoke. It’s super easy to track enemies through it after getting a single hit.
I am a dedicated Rampart player. I picked her up after watching a tiktok live. A pro player was using her and breaking down why she is so underratedly viable. Realizing she fit my play style and how I approach fights, haven't put her down since. She's really good for players that like to play chess with their opponents
One amazing buff bor ash, making his taktikal like catalyst que, even if you cant hit enemy it should stay there until someone hits it. And there could be two at most. This was possible at ApexM and this made her tactical way useful in blocking doorways and tight pathways, when someone is hard chasing you. You might also get random sticks when you leave one at zoprails or chokes.
For her portal she can use it second time in 5 secons after using it, but the second will be only half the distance. For example 50+25m.( This was also possible in ApexM).This will stop enamy from taking your portal, grant longer range, and give bit more flexibility.
As a mirage and ballistic main, i can definitely agree that mirage should duplicate his teammates and gain another decoy. But he isn't a bad legend, the tricks and confusion you can deploy, is more effective than you say.
As for ballistics passive, the sling does come in handy in 1v1s, way more than i thought. I do like your suggestion for the passive, that would be sick.
I think crypto should have the same ability as vantage, he can move his drone to a certain position but to make sure it’s not too similar and super broken, he can only do it once. If he wants to do it again he has to recall the drone
So he can enter the drone obviously to move it, but if ur fighting and want a better position of the enemies, you can move ur drone (like how you move echo) but only once and use a different button, which becomes disabled once used, and enabled after recalled and put out again.
A cool buff for seer would be buffing his tactical a bit more, keeping it hard to hit but still stunning heals, revives, etc. Then, when he pops his ult, a cool feature would be half cooldown on his tactical, and a “sure hit” effect like domain expansion so he guarantees a shot with his tactical, giving him a much better edge fighting within his ult and making it more threatening to enter.
For a mirage buff a cool concept would be able to switch positions with your decoy, which means that you can’t ever ignore a decoy even if it isn’t the actual player, which can make for some big outplays. How it fits into the lore? A magician never reveals his secrets
I would say catalyst needs a buff tbh, it’s hard to hold off a building against a good squad. I think they’ve done well at nerfing her ult but she should be able to lay down 3 traps as opposed to two.
I’m going to explain why it gives you a blue shield bc if you have a white shield it will give you a blue one if you have a blue one it gives you a purple one it’s just to let you get a better shield 😅
I disagree with Watson and Loba, bc Watson is very useful, her ult can help win a fight with ease, and lobas tactical is not very good, but it is a great escape, lastly her ultimate in very good with the infinite ammo and easy loot, I think they should be low A tier atleast
Valk is easily higher in C tier. Her passive mobility is very strong and just because her ult now competes with a survival item doesnt suddenly mean its useless. Having a evac tower means you can use your ult to scan, if you dont find a tower you still have ult, ult is way safer, and having ult means you can keep a different survival item for utility.
Her only difference now that evacs exist is that she isnt *required* on a team, other than that she has only benefited from Evacs existing.
I haven’t played apex in like 2 years but I still watch every single one of your tier lists 😂
I dont get why they changed rev. I hadnt visited apex in months but when I came back i saw my main was completely changed. I feel like he went from a sadistic robot killer to a cliche hunter. His ability locking ability was fun to use and I loved being the type of revenant thats always on your back. The totem offered some play for teammates too. He was a great pushing legend but now his pounce is weak and an inferior movement ability with his ultimate being weak for pushing, its just extra health. Thats just my opinion, hes now a selfish push legend with a movement tactical that wasnt needed, we already have a great passive
Fuse in C is wild. Everything else is a W but just stacking 2 nades per slot alone plus the assault passive puts him higher for me. I'm also just a diamond skrub tho lol
I’m so happy, finally seeing my boi rev not in D tier. Been maining him since season 5
Good list but valkyrie needs to be lower
This is definitely not my nightmare of her when she was meta
I dont even play the game anymore but i like watching these just for the sake of it.
5:51 As a vantage main *cough cough* Vantage’s passive is where you can “scan enemies” knowing what legend they are, what shield lvl they’re at, and how far they are. This Passive is only usable on a 2x sight or greater but can also be used if you don’t have a weapon equipped in your hands. Her Passive is pretty good if you want to push a team if they have 1-2 players and weak shield but isn’t in end game situation. I also agreed with all of your cool ideas (:
Man we need you for every game out there
Youre such a great content creator!
Happy to see bang up there. She was slept on for two years before making her way up.
I can’t wait to see what he has stored up
Tbh I think vantage is definitely an A tier bc of her ability to give some much info about a team from far away, ability to escape bad situations, dominant in long range battles.
Vintages tactical is actually better than revs in everyway only issue is Los which can be over come with well planned escape routes or getting into a groove of recalling echo for next jump. Giving her just lazersight aim at cqc would be nasty
i just realized while watching your video that it's quite weird that i have never played overwatch, no nothing about it and have no intention of playing it but i still watch every single one of your videos.
Listen Macro My Boi Your their list Is Objectively True, BUT The Only Thing I would say you didn't address is Just How Bad Wattson fences are. and Yes I know not every wattson player plays her where she uses her fences mid fight but ever since season 11 Her fences placement just hasn't been reliable mid fight or even just at random times Respawn NEEDS To revert her fence placement changes and Watty will be more near A Their Imo
Definitely need a new version for this new season😂
I think comparing Rev and Vantage tactical doesn't seem fair, since they both have a different purpose.
Rev is mostly battle movement
Vantage is A to B relocation, which makes more sense for her character (angles and stuff).
You can easily predict where and how far you're going to go (unlike Rev's clunky chargeup).
It has actual reliable verticality, being able to jump on top of most buildings easy.
All that plus an optional double jump at the end.
There are downsides, like Echo revealing your position if you don't recall him, and of course recalling Echo after each jump.
But a more fair comparison would be between Ash ult and Vantage tactical.
Yah. i agree with how you said rev and vantages movement ability have different purposes, but I think macro was talking more about the grand scheme of things, because if we're talking only about movement wise.. I think most people would want Rev's jump where you can just click or hold to jump farther instantly. Vantage jump isnt bad, but you have more steps to do. Her drawback is needing to call her bat buddy back, and sending it out to where you wanna jump to. Which isn't complicated, but it like I said, it requires more steps, and people rather just click a button to jump. The other reason why Vantage jump isn't that good too is because her jumps predictable. All you need to do is look where her bat buddy is and you'll know where she'll land, it's similar to Loba's bracelet. Lastly, Revs jump speed is faster. Vantage is slower by a few seconds. This is the main reason Vantage can get easily shot out of the air..well, her hitbox plays into it as well, but still, the jump speed is one of the reasons too. So in the grand scheme of things, Vantage has more drawbacks than Rev in terms of movement.
Can't believe its been 10 seasons since I started watching you nice video btw
this is definitely a tier list
I THINK a GOOD ability for seers tactical would be an ability that i would call: drone burst! it would be like a little cloud of drones that seer sends out in front of him that bounces back enemies and higlights them (it may help if you think of it like a bloodhound scan but executed by drones with 6 metres range and it bounces enemies back). that could help him because it would have a direct combat effect (pushing the enemy back) and a recon effect (scanning them after they got hit) that would not make him overpowered, since he would only be able to scan if the enemy is in close combat but it would give him an advantage, because he gets the knockback on the enemy, allowing him to reposition himself during the pushback and then fight against an enemy he has knowledge about
Being able to push back an enemy is TOO STRONG for a tactical. Theirs's a reason Mad Maggies ult pushes people back and stuns them. It's because it's good. Think about it, your fighting an enemy, and then you get pushed back and you aim goes off the enemy. And this happens every 25 seconds, because its a tactical. TACTICAL ARE USUALLY ONLY 20 - 25 SECONDS LONG.
lets go, no Wattson slander here. Lots of tier lists have her at the bottom as useless and your a troll if you play her. This was great to see someone take into account what she can do and not immediately throw her down.
One thing I just realized is that conduit is able to give others a worse rev ult
I think mirage's problem is that even if the clones are shot, nothing happens because there are a lot of scanners who can already find you. If shooting the clones causes like a small flash bang or something, and more was done to make the clones convincing, then mirage could be a real threat.
Can we just take a second to appreciate just how many different legends and playstyles that are available to play with in Apex.
Bro that intro song you put brought back some memories
Your lists are honestly the best. You say things ive always thought that people disagree with. Your voice has more weight and can actually change peoples minds. Im glad im not the only one.
Btw, i do think caustic should be a bit lower. Even though i agree on all your comments.
Ballistics tactical should have a longer overheat effect. Right now its a bit underwhelming. And i disagree on his passive. I use the sling weapon un ultified all the time, people underestimate it. A back up shotgun, alternator or even a smg is really clutch. I usually go a long range weapon like a 3030, a sentinel or a triple take, then i go for a shotgun or smg in my secondary. Then i usually use a alternator as a backup because even though the ammo is low. Its enough and lasts long enough to finnish them off, because you already have used a car or a r99 on them, and if thats not enough, then you can pull out the lucky noscope with a triple take.
And to add even more, when i ult, i get a dissruptor alternator with 1 sec reloads and no movement slowness, like come on, its pretty busted.
But at the end of the day, its in the top ranked play, i get it if he isnt that good, but for pubs, he is a stomper.
i actually think that vantage has the best movement ability in the game. it goes further than a revenant jump, gives you incredible height, has an effective cooldown of 15 seconds and is fast and makes it hard to get shot midair, i really dont know anything comparable to THAT and her passive sould get a little more attention from the devs... thats right
it has a slow activation, and requires a bit of planning in order to use it
Bro 1 grenade on a cat door is all you need I get it a lot of ppl don't carry nades or have nades at all times but even some legends can break doors with abilities if there's one thing that doesn't need nerfs it's that imo there's actual counters that every legend and player could use against it lmao
Vantage Main Here, if you think vantage is below low A tier, you’re bad at playing vantage, and yes you can use the sniper ULT in final ring in the right scenario and it wins games. Passive allows you to pick and choose which team to push by telling you HOW MANY people are in the squad, and their armor level. Tactical is an extremely useful reset in fights, and repositioning tool to catch people in a blind side with a few sniper shots. I use a sentinel w/ the sniper ult. It’s unmatched tbh, plus added bonus to all snipers. You get a bullet drop indicator. EDIT: echo does follow vantage. 55m behind you so when you round the corner on a team and need an escape echo is 55m behind you, and if you put echo low to the ground on all launches you can use the forward momentum to do a slide after the launch and go even further.
Showing my boy Crypto some love. Def thought he’d be D tier, but he’s definitely B tier in the right hands. IMO the most technical legend. Can’t just Q your way out of mistakes. There is so much to his kit that isn’t told to you. Gotta put the time in.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why everyone forgets ashs PASSIVE!!! she can not only scan enemy deathboxes but she can ALSO see EVERY death on the map and when exactly it happened and where! this is kinda STRONG in ranked, since you automatically know the position of the fighting squads
but yeah, i am also praying for a ronin like ash set
Another Macro apex legends tier list LETS GOOOO❤
Been so hyped for this!
