With the Season 16 shake-up, Apex Legends has seen a change to some of its most popular Legends. Here's what the new season has done to the pick rates.
Legend pick rates have been pretty predictable in past seasons. If a new Legend debuts at the start of a season, they're usually at the top of the pick rates for a hot minute. Then, depending on how well players take to their kit, these Legends will stay in the spotlight, or drop off dramatically. There are some Legends that remain popular no matter what, like Wraith and Pathfinder. But, this season, some unexpected Legends have been creeping up through the ranks.
What's interesting is that Apex has seen a boom in player numbers with its latest season, likely related to the change to the Legends Class system. In truth, there's never been a better time to jump into Apex and that's become evident in the player count and the changes to pick rates.
