Okay, so, I’ve been grinding hard on Apex Legends Season 17, and I gotta say, the meta has shifted quite a bit. I wanted to put together a tier list based on my experience, and man, it was a journey.
First off, I jumped into countless matches, trying out every Legend I could. I started with some of my old favorites, like Wraith and Pathfinder, to see how they held up in the new season. I queued up solo, with friends, in ranked, in pubs – you name it, I played it. I wanted to get a feel for each Legend in different situations and against various team comps.

My Process:
- Experimented with different team compositions. I quickly realized that some Legends synergize way better than others. For instance, pairing a defensive Legend like Wattson with a more aggressive one like Bangalore can create a really strong dynamic.
- Paid close attention to the new Legend, Ballistic. I spent hours figuring out his abilities, his strengths, his weaknesses. He’s got some serious potential, but he’s not without his counters.
- Took notes after every match. I jotted down what worked, what didn’t, which Legends felt overpowered, and which ones felt a little underwhelming. It was a mess of scribbles, but it helped me keep track of my thoughts.
- Watched some pro players and streamers. I wanted to see how the top-tier players were using each Legend and what strategies they were employing. It was super insightful to see their gameplay and compare it to my own experiences.
- Dived into the community forums and discussions. I read through countless threads and comments, absorbing different perspectives and opinions on each Legend’s viability. It was interesting to see the diverse range of opinions out there.
After all that, I finally sat down to compile my tier list. It was tough to rank some of these Legends, especially the ones that are really versatile. But based on my experience and the data I gathered, I think I’ve come up with a pretty solid list. I will share it next time, stay tuned!
