Apex Legends players have now had almost one month to get accustomed to the new Season 7 content, particularly when it comes to Horizon, the all-new Legend. As such, Apex Legends News recently conducted a survey to gauge which five characters were the most popular Legends currently in the game.
Poll Results: Top Five Most Popular Legends
The results of the recent poll reveal that, unsurprisingly, Wraith is still the most popular Legend. Wraith has been a top contender for popularity for a very long time. Indeed, she has been one of the most enduringly popular characters for the last few seasons. However, some of the other results are rather more unexpected, particularly the inclusion of Horizon herself at #3. While players may be playing Horizon more than normal, as they try out the new character, new additions rarely displace the most popular characters so quickly. Indeed, neither Rampart nor Revenant, the other most recent new Legends, appear on the list.
Coming in at 2nd place on the rankings was Bloodhound, another long-term popular choice, while Lifeline took the fifth spot. Meanwhile, another surprise was the inclusion of Octane at #4. It will certainly be interesting to see how this changes over the course of the second half of Season 7.
One likely possibility is that Horizon may lose her spot in the list as time goes on. As a new character, players may begin to shift back to older favourites once the novelty begins to wear off. If she retains her spot, it will indicate that her popularity could be very enduring. Another factor is that Horizon’s abilities may receive fine-tuning later in the season via patches, etc. If such changes result in a nerf, players may start to look elsewhere. For now though, players will have to wait and see how the meta shifts.
