Despite lacking a new addition to the roster, Apex Legends' Revelry update really has been a game changer for Respawn Entertainment's battle royale shooter. There's a new assault rifle challenging the existing weapon meta, a new LTM for players to kick-back in, and the revitalised legend class system seems to be delivering on promises to add more weight to squad compositions. However, Respawn also introduced a series of legend meta changes; the Apex Legends Season 16 pick rates - after just one week - are already showing just how impactful these alterations have been. Pathfinder, for one, is leading the new meta.
For quite some time, before the Season 16 update, clambering up the Apex Legends ranks has been best-achieved by a select few that sit atop everyone's Apex Legends tier list - ours included. For months, for example, characters like Horizon were dominant and always a reliable pick when jumping into a battle royale match on Storm Point or Kings Canyon.
However, times are changing and Respawn Entertainment has introduced a number of changes that are already having a huge impact on Apex Legends, just one week after the new season dropped - and the latest set of Apex Legends patch notes came into effect.
