Accidently said best to worst in the intro instead of worst to best. multiple people proofread this video this video multiple times and we missed something in the first 5 seconds xDDDDDDD LMAO. this is our first shot at content like this so please do forgive

Damn making an 1h long tier list video entertaning for the entire duration is no easy task

I just came back to the game after taking a break for over a year. This was exactly the kind of video I needed to quickly load up on all legend info again. Ty for the vid

0:48 - F Tier 8:14 - E Tier 16:21 - D Tier 24:22 - C Tier 38:17 - B Tier 55:08 - A Tier 1:04:19 - S Tier

Bro absolutely did not hold back on Ash hoLY.

Highlighting players who are low HP isn’t revs only passive, climbing higher and silently is also his (second) passive.

LOVE the music choices for this video. Music was the perfect volume so you could hear it, but the talking was a lot more dominant. Great video as always ❤

seeing a weapons tier list next would be pretty sick, hearing your perspective is informative too

go to sleep

Man, there was a lot of work put into the video and editing. Nicely done.

I like the longer type of videos. I listen to them while I work or do errands

53:58 This caustic straight up jumping Hiswattson from the stratosphere 💀

"Gibby has the best passive, best tactical, and best ult in the game, which nets him a solid spot in the F tier." I died. Playing Gibby, of course. His fall from grace felt like a wild result of the shift in meta. I was so sure he'd just be the king forever. XD

Bro what an in depth analysis, so nice...and painfully true as my fave characters are at the lower bottom 😅😂

YOU ARE SO GOATED I LOVE YOUUUU!!! Best tier list o have ever watched! Super analytical of the legends and much more in depth than your average KZfaqrs power ranking. Thank you his Wattson you are the goat!❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🐐🐐🐐

As a devote Watty, nice to see a pro ranking Wattson so highly. Most Tier List vids rank her low. With a good team she can guarantee a win late game.... with a noob team her abilities are ignored.... cos the prevailing tactic of noobs is to run around like headless chickens chasing anything that moves. Then they spam revive button like your there to wet nurse them. Wattson is a team player. Alone she is a bit of a pudding.

The effort put into this video is nuts, so thorough and amazing editing showing off exact examples of scenarios to further show and insinuate the given reasons. FANTASTIC VIDEO 😀

Such a good video! Watched this during my driving shift, I’d love to see more of these. Watched from start to finish. I bet everyone loves your insights just as much as me

Bro decided to post at 4 and decided to show a random guy that made seer meta in 2022 😂

always look forward to watching your videos! thanks for making this

Bro that video was absolutely amazing, such a good detailed description of each legend and weighing their pros and cons. Very informative and blunt. I would recommend this to every new player.

This video goes crazy! Nice work homie!!!

As a rampart main Sheila is one of the best abilities in the game with the spin up perk, but the strafe speed is a good point tbh.

This vid was incredibly in depth, well made with all the splicing and legend icon timer in the top left. Chefs Kiss hiswattson. Love to see it.

The editing on this so go good. Appreciate the little in game skits

I appreciate the in-depth tier list and how well thought out and explained your thoughts were. I also felt your placements made more sense than many other tier lists I’ve seen.

I can't believe I didn't skip a second 😂 good review

Love this! Thanks Watson!

Congrats on 250k subs!

As a support main in every game I could never really find a character in apex that fit my play style until conduit came out ! Ever since I got the first chance to play as her I have loved it and she has been my main since

Thanks for the tips! Great video!

Best apex content I’ve seen this month

I knew about 80% of this, but still entertaining video. Watched it all. I don't have time to watch your streams, but KZfaq videos are much more digestible and are entertaining.

good and nice video HisWattson

Great video, thank you for sharing your point of view! Love from Spain ❤

Thank you for the great video again.

Great video, well put together

Newcastle in C tier is criminal! He's B tier minimum!

Lifeline in B tier in the tumbnail already got me laughing💀

I love this type of content!!

Ty for this

Great video! I've seen you and Zeus playing Mirage lately in pred lobbies. He is OP!

i like this tier list a lot! i know that if post patch was considered fuse would be wayyyyyy higher, as well as seer a little higher

Nice info, thank you

Thanks for great review and reasons behind those. In solo games some tier placement varies as you mentioned. Also in low tier lobbies getting height and good placement plays OP role compared to higher tier lobbies where people can counter and expect smart play.

love your vids

As a wraith main I completely agree. I just love playing her lol

Weapon tier list next? 👀 Havoc, hemlok, nemesis S tier ofc

Good video, I just wish you could talk more about the upgrades to each legends and to say if one is more useful than the other and in which scenarios.

The only player I trust to make a tier list👍

Thank you for this Tierlist. This is the best Tierlist ever made with very good explanation why the legends are where you put them. Thanks for your time. Don't rate Pathfinder too high, please, I don't want abother nerf to my boy 😂

Actually a really good video.

Watching as recommended from your stream

the setup for the B-Roll footage is dope

the only thing i miss in this video is to actually get from when this list is, because just shortly we received some huge changes and perks got adjusted slightly and sometimes wattsons videos are like a month off so it would be good to add a disclaimer that tells us from around which date this footage is, overall i liked the video, i would have loved if we would have mentioned the huge advantage ballistic has taking a 1v1 as entry fragger in ranked lobbies, cause in close fights taking a 1v1 off drop with ballistic the Q can make a big difference, it doesnt really change the fact that he is underaveraged legend but still good video and explanations.

I really appreciate how unbiased your input is because the general public would think so many of these legends are better than they really are based on how often they are played by high level pro's and streamers. That said, also goes to show that outside of the 1%, you can really just play whoever and still have fun and perform well

Vantage really only needs a few tweaks to make her stronger, most notably with her ultimate. The laser being visible to enemies is one of the largest drawbacks to her kit, second only to her hitbox size for a non-fortified character. The scan the sniper applies to a hit enemy also does not go through walls, though it is visible if the target retreats into smoke. Take away the laser and let the scan go through cover, all the sudden her ultimate is in a really good place.

Thanks bro I randomly woke up

Very complete video, well done 👍

Best video, now we wait for a weapons tier list

My goat 3am vid comin in clutch ZADDY🙏🏽😩

This is the only tier list I'm interested in. So much great info. Thank you.

Bro i just finished the video and had NO idea it was 1hr long. It was THAT entertaining.

Hey friend, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I want to share some of my thoughts on legends, that I feel comfortable with. I play Plat/Dia most season long, so thats the average skill-level I come from in my expertise. Ash F -> D: I agree with you that Ash is rather underwhelming. However, I think there is a few things that you have not noted that are of relevance. First, her passive also includes showing dead players on the map. This grants you a LOT of information in every ranked game you will ever play with her. As Ash, you know a lot about where teams are and who is maybe a little lost in their rotation. Information is King in Ranked and Ash provides info consistently. The snare is underwhelming, but it is not half as bad as I think you take it for. Snare - especially Greedy-Snare - is very versitle. You can use to to deny certain areas, create 3v2s or just spam damage in poke-offs. Esp greedy snare can anihilate teams relying on EVAV or ziplines to escape. In a game where seconds matter, just keeping one opponent from helping his mate for 2-3 seconds (more if he heals) makes a difference. The reason why I play Ash as a secondary despite her beeing D-Tier imo is, that she works so damn well with so many other legends, but especially my main Crypto. EMP->Portal is just such a sweet push. But also Knuckle-Cluster knocks, Vantage knocks and just all these hard to capitalize on situations can be punished so well with Ash. Ofc you never warp into the POV of the opponents - you take the roof, or another room. Vantage F is fine: Vantage is so fucking funny to play as. You can hit the beacons, fuck arround with you Sniper and just have a good time. But all you say is true: The fuck is that hitbox and the ULT is comparatively (!) weak. I like her passive ability to see shields and teammembers and her Tactical is good. Thats it, lol. She's good at takinf angles but if you get punished for getting in on opponents, this ist just allways a liability. What I think is worth noting however, is that enemies taking cover after beeing hit is actually a huge plus. Vantage-Ult forces more people into vover than your average Marksman would. Blue players after 1 and purple players after 2 hits are basically out of commission and wont want to help their teammates. Vantage is also very usefull in fending of 3rd parties. Usually you want to loot last after a fight and just take height (wich is easy with Echo) and scare any potential third party away, which is easy with her Ult. So she has things going for her that you didnt mention, but yeah, F is fine imo. If she's D, that's only because she can hit both beacons. Crypto D is fine: I love your take on Crypi! Really tells me that you know him in and out. Crypto is imo pretty overrated in many lists, because people really want his kit to be better than it actually is and noone plays him to know that it's... mid? The info on drone whiel fighting is amazing, but bloodhound scans arent worse and way more consistent. Cryptos EMP is nice and stong if paired with mobility, as you said, but it's not like its SO GOOD you have to play it. The best part of Cryptos kit is arguably sitting in a corner and having the drone up high to just survey the whole area, counting teams, players, even weapons and legends. What's fun about Crypto is how you can remote activate the beacons, which can surprise enemies. You can insta-revive even on mobi's, which comes in clutch especially in late games. You can do all these little things with the drone to distract people. I love Crypto, he's my main, but yeah, if you get his dron down, if you have a tough rotation ahead (that you cant avoid even with his massive information surplus) or if you just stuck in a shitty fight, Crypto does little to you.

I really like this list so far

Great video! Awesome knowledge. Only thing you may add is timestamps for each tier / legend

Thank you for this video Wattson. My copium levels are at an all time high now, as I've been trying to get the 2k on all characters recently. I only have a couple characters left that I've been struggling with for a long time: Crypto, Gibby, Mirage, Wraith, Octane, and Altar. Glad to know that I can continue coping telling myself that most of these characters are garbage

I think your bias saying crypto is boring is what kinda of got me. He's the best he's ever been. With seeing squads on banners, his perks, and placing my drone to cover the whole teams back while we can focus one squad

Bro made the video before the meta chinge predicted the fuse evac meta and it already happened when he uploaded 🗿

Even though i may not agree with him on everything, it was REALLY nice to see a fresh look on legends. Def some controversial picks in here

I love the recent Newcastle buff with the mini wattson shield area denial system it has for his ultimate, if any people who use projectiles like horizon come into meta, he would be good.

One of the issues with crypto (as a crypto main) is that when you throw the drone at people during a fight it a lot of times bugs out, the player could be right infront of the drone and not get scanned for wtv reason

hi wattson i love ur content i was thinking if u cant do video about every still of fighting like edge,hard edge and more

Really nice 👍🏼 for you as content creator apex is not necessarily… I could listen to you for hours 👍🏼

Great video

I've never been this early to any youtube video. without notos on

Awesome video! As a Rampart main I will say she’s hard to learn but very underrated. Along with shooting evacs, Sheila is perfect for playing aggressive and melting people hiding behind doors too

I main Crypto, and this probably isn’t meta but I find my favorite comp to play with is actually Fuse and Revenant, mostly because Fuse’s ultimate pairs really well with EMP, it forces them to stay still while I land my ultimate on them, and then Revenant can dash in and pick off players while they are helpless. Knuckle cluster does really well to keep enemies in cover if I need to use my ultimate really close to the enemy, so I don’t get picked off from being rushed by the enemy. And Revenant’s ultimate is just highly preoccupying for the enemy, so it gives me time to rush in after using my ultimate. There’s probably better comps to be had, but this is just the one I enjoy most

I have no word for this video I wish more pros did this and also not be biased

Side note on Ash passive, one kinda cool thing is if you zoom in on the map a little you can see every deathbox on the map within the last 2 minutes. This is wildly overlooked and I feel a lot of people don't even know you can do this, but it can be really useful to know where teams are fighting/seeing when a team has finished a fight. I IGL my ranked group and maybe it's just me but I find it useful? Anyone else use this a lot?

Wraiths 1st perk passive is like a passive radar, tells you when they close

You know it’s a good day when Watson posts

As someone who has played mirage a lot recently, he does work best to confuse the enemy in tight areas. Especially with his upgrades he has great spam-ability to keep it going. Sure it isnt as measurable as movement or damage perks but it has its defensive and offensive use, just dont be in the complete open. His tactical also has the added bonus of scouting where shots are coming from mid battle which is good for sniping. And yes his invisibility can be obvious in reviving, its still added cover though. Just dont try stupid clutches with it. Hes well rounded but not great and can help keep a constant defense for your team mates with little down time. Though I get that people would want characters that have more measurable abilities than just "you got bamboozled", even if it is viable if used properly.

Ok but have you seen the new ashe tech with her throwing an arc at the same time as a snare?

Good list imo. My only suggestion for the video would be to add chapters for each character or at least for each tier

Bro was glazing Caustic the whole video just to throw him mid B tier lol. It's about time someone said that Wattson is better than Caustic tho. There's so many people out there who pick up Cat and Caustic because they seem better on paper and are easier to use, but then get naded out and/or ability spammed easily. I'm a Wattson main who's played alot of both Caustic and Catalyst in ranked and pubs, and I can't tell you how many times I threw my controller (shoutout controller Wattson mains btw) because some shitter Fuse emptied his inventory of nades on my spot. It's sounds like a niche scenario but its more common than you think. Sure Cat and Caustic can be really good for aggressive plays, but like you stated in the video "it's about how good a legend is at their worst, than at their best" and Wattsons worst scenario isn't as bad as Caustic and Catalyst's. When a Wattson gets caught out in the open, its much less devastating than if you were Caustic due to her smaller hitbox. Plus Wattson got shadow buffed with her passive shield regen speed being doubled so that's a neat convenience. It's such a shame so many people overlook her potential because she has a high skill ceiling and high skill requirement. It's easy to mistake a high skill character with just a straight up terrible character when you don't know how to use them.

keep uploading video's like this becaus apex is unplayable but i like this change

Vantage needs to be a long-time, long-range tracker so that it makes proper sense that she is a recon. Her sniper marker should track for, idk 2, minutes or even more; the extra damage is nice but usually not that useful. This way she is clearly different from other recons

Nice video I main Caustic ! 👍🏽

not a hardcore apex player but this tier list is accurate nearly commented the take on conduit when you didnt mention the conduit wattson comp

As much as i love vantage so much, i could not have agreed with you more. I definitely wouldve placed her higher, but it doesnt stop the fact that her abilities are super confusing, they require a lot of skill, and she can easily be pushed in later rings.

Watson and Conduit is my favorite go to comp with friends. The tankiness is so funny to me.

Weird time to upload but valid video thank you very helpful

I cant play apex cause my ps4 is shitty old and dusty, so i'm gonna buy a ps5 next week and man i'm excited to get back into apex!! Love your content, it's super entertaining and well edited!!

Thanks!

Ash needs love fr. Think they're scared to buff portals/teleports in general. But they should just lean into ash as a movement aggressive character as she's static 90% if the time.

Someone might've said this already but, Newcastles ult counters throwables like wattsons gen. But only the energized side does that. However, just like wattsone gen, Newcastles wall also blocks friendly nades and throwables.

wait did he not include the recent patch notes because aint no way bloodhound is still s tier after getting hard nerved

Scanning both should def raise vantage up, you’re gonna have team mates who don’t play characters that can’t do either

I’m very interested to see thus
