Apex Legends’ character, Rampart, has struggled to gain popularity in the meta since her release. However, players are now insisting that she is not as bad as she seems.
In a recent Reddit thread, a player argued that Rampart’s low pick rate does not reflect her true potential. They explained that she is a versatile legend, great for holding positions and shredding teams with her ultimate ability, Sheila. Despite this, many players fail to understand her full capabilities.
Rampart has faced challenges in the meta since her release in 2020. Initially, her lack of mobility made her a situational pick. However, after her ultimate ability was reworked, her viability changed significantly.
Rampart possesses several strengths, particularly in defensive play. When holding a point, she is considered one of the best legends alongside Wattson and Caustic. However, to fully utilize her abilities, strong team synergy is crucial.
Due to her reliance on team coordination, Rampart has consistently had one of the lowest pick rates in the game. Even after her rework, her pick rate dropped further in season 18, averaging at only 1.8 percent, slightly higher than the least popular legend, Crypto.
Reddit users largely agree that Rampart is undervalued. One player shared their experience with an exceptional Rampart player who provided crucial cover during endgame battles. They also highlighted Rampart’s ability to lock down buildings effectively and her powerful mobile minigun. In the right hands, Rampart can be an incredibly strong legend.
However, mastering Rampart is not easy. She has a steep learning curve, which may deter many players. Additionally, in competitive play, she is overshadowed by more popular legends like Caustic and Wattson, who offer similar defensive capabilities and can be played solo more efficiently.
While Rampart may be less popular than her counterparts, it is important to note that she is not a “bad” or useless legend. Her unique abilities and potential for strategic play make her a valuable asset in the right hands.
