Apex Legends players are calling for Respawn Entertainment to give some much-needed attention to the character Ash, who they believe is the most underrated legend in the game. In a Reddit thread discussing the community’s hottest takes on Apex Legends, players expressed their desire for Ash to receive buffs and improvements in an upcoming update.
Ash is considered a versatile legend by many players, but her abilities are seen as needing slight enhancements. Currently, she is one of the least-played characters in the game, with only a 2.5 percent pick rate in ranked games across all tiers.
Players believe that with some adjustments from the developers, Ash could become much more popular. One specific area of concern is her ultimate ability, which is deemed unreliable and difficult to use effectively under pressure. Fans suggest that it needs fixing and possibly a boost, similar to her tactical ability.
While there were other hot takes discussed in the thread, the consensus among players was that shotguns are better without any optic or with a holo sight in close-range encounters. The top-voted comment also mentioned that the 1X optic is preferable for midrange fights with shotguns, R301, and Flatline, rather than using higher zoom optics.
Some players also defended other underrated legends like Fuse and expressed their support for less popular maps such as Broken Moon and World’s Edge. However, these opinions were more controversial and sparked debates among the community.
Ash has not received any balance changes for a while and has fallen out of favor with players. With the recent significant buffs given to the previously unpopular legend Rampart, players hope that Ash will be the next character to receive attention and improvements, especially since she was released two years ago in November 2021.
