Make your pick based on other Legends’ picks!
Apex Legends is approaching Season 17 of post-launch content, with fans of the game always eager for the next seasonal update to drop a new Legend and make a series of adjustments to the prevailing meta. With the Season 16 update, alongside the usual buffs and nerfs, all Legends were reclassified into one of five categories. That’s translated to the list of Apex Legends character pick rates, detailing the most used and most popular Legends right now.
All Legend Pick Rates in Apex Legends Season 16
Using ApexLegendsStatus‘ tracking, here’s every Legend’s pick rate, as of 20 March, 2023.

| 1 | Wraith | 12.2% |
| 2 | Pathfinder | 11.3% |
| 3 | Octane | 10.9% |
| 4 | Bangalore | 7.6% |
| 5 | Bloodhound | 7.0% |

| 12 | Maggie | 2.8% |
| 13 | Mirage | 2.8% |
| 14 | Catalyst | 2.7% |

| 17 | Vantage | 2.1% |
| 18 | Wattson | 2.1% |
| 19 | Revenant | 1.8% |
| 20 | Crypto | 1.7% |
| 21 | Gibraltar | 1.6% |
| 22 | Rampart | 1.5% |
| 23 | Newcastle | 1.2% |
In short, Season 16 continues to be dominated by the perpetually popular Legends: Wraith, Pathfinder, Octane and Bangalore.
It’s certainly interesting to note the drop off in pick-rate for Seer, with Respawn admitting that a series of Season 16’s changes came as a result of their desire to counter what they termed the ‘scan meta’ in Apex Legends. There’s also been a major fall in popularity for Mirage and Ash, as Legend adjustments make their impact felt.
Elsewhere, Rampart, Gibraltar and Newcastle remain amongst the most unpopular characters, with players clearly struggling for reasons to pick them in their matches.
While Revenant is similarly neglected, the landscape looks slightly more promising for him, with rumors of a rework and new Passive Ability hotting up ahead of Season 17.
That’s all there is to know about the pick rates for all Legends in Apex Legends Season 16. We’ll be updating this page regularly so be sure to check back for all the intel on who your enemies will be using, and who you should be using.
