Introduced in Apex Legends' seventh season, named Ascension, Horizon is one legend that's found her place as a firm fan-favourite - with players taking to her like a duck does to water. With a tragically dark backstory, fantastic jokes told by the talented Elle Newlands, and a kit that quite literally defies gravity, it's easy to see why. However, it seems that she's only growing more popular with each update - and each new face. Right now, just shy of two years since she was added to Respawn Entertainment's battle royale, Horizon is enjoying her highest pick rate in a long time - maybe even ever.
Looking at Apex Legends Status, across all ranks and modes, Horizon is currently enjoying a 7.7% pick rate, which is down somewhat from a high of over 8.5% in September 2022. However, this 7.7% pick rate is still much higher than her average pick rate for the entirety of Season 13 and before.
To make matters even more interesting, Horizon is actually the most popular legend for players trying to climb Apex Legends' ranks in Platinum and above - by quite some margin, in some cases. For players in Gold and below, she's one of the top five most popular legends - interestingly joined by Octane, Wraith, Bloodhound, and Pathfinder.
