Caustic is a 21 year old Neo-Nazi's OC but good god i get sick of hearing the militaristic language especially the coded shit. Haha, clever, cluster foxtrot because you can't say fuck in video games. Stop saying it you've said it 30 times already. Bangalore isn't edgy, she's just that one person that was in the military for 3 weeks and discharged because they got injured but won't shut up about how cool they are now
popping the chimney
Here is the official Apex Legends personality/character tierlist with insight: S TIER: Caustic Everything about caustic is incredibly fucking over the top and stupid. He is the gift that won't stop giving; Everytime you thought "wow this is incredibly fucking edgy" he just drops something that's even worse. Every single line of his is meme-able. The fact that he looks like a homeless person that mugged some scientist and that he is associated with fart gas just makes everything better. He literally has a line where he says "my brain is too big for you" or something like that. He is incredible, truly. He is so bad that it warps back to being amazing. look at it, they modelled a fucking ear for this https://i.imgur.com/QAfX8UT.png Pathfinder Pathfinder is just kinda wholesome, that's it. He has the high-five thing going on and the classic funni robot stitch that makes fun of the mortality of his companions. Heavily biased choice because I like robots. A TIER: Mirage Mirage is kinda like Caustic in a way that he is absolutely annoying and awful to the point where it's good again; I don't know which developer thought it was a good idea that every single 15 seconds he says a variation of the word "bazinga" but they either deserve to be kicked out of respawn or be awarded a nobel prize for creating a button that annoys every single person in your party. The fact that he has the same voice actor as sonic the hedgehog from sonic boom only makes matters worse, or alternatively, better. Bloodhound Same deal as Pathfinder. Wholesome fella with a nice voice that says some words pretty funnily. Bloodhound is edgy done right, given it's not just edgy shit with the entire hunter/religious aspect to it, but he's also decently respectful. She also says "dib" in a pretty silly way while still allowing it as a character to be taken seriously, pretty much a jack of all trades. B TIER: Gibraltar Nothing to say here. Like Pathfinder and Bloodhound Gibraltar is pretty nice to listen to and isn't a huge asshole. Seems like your designated bro-dude. Not super interesting, but also far from annoying or uninteresting/boring. D TIER(yes I know I skipped C) Lifeline Really annoying voice and... nothing really special. They seemed to kinda roll with the music theme with the drumstick finisher but the rest of her lines doesn't really reference it, so she doesn't exactly have a central gimmick surrounding her. Yet even outside of that, she just seems incredibly uninteresting. Bangalore While looking like she has poo/a brain on her head doesn't give her any favors as someone pointed out already, she won't shut up about bringo brango soldier shoot shoot stuff. Unlike Lifeline, she has a gimmick, and only that gimmick. And will talk about nothing else but that single gimmick of being a soldier with bomble banzble tengo tango and that and that. It was funny the first time but if you hear Bazooper Zonker for the 65th time it gets pretty annoying. E TIER Wraith Easily the single most uninteresting and forgettable character in the entire game. Her gimmick being that she is decently edgy not doing her any favors, she is just incredibly forgettable given she doesn't stand out at all. I'm trying to think of more to write here, but I can't, because there is nothing. Only the void, fittingly enough. The only thing that saved her from D Tier is the bald skin.
Gibraltor, out of all of the cast, is the one I'd sit down and have a nice, refreshing pint with. Mirage maybe, if he could just chill the fuck out and relax a bit. Nobody is judging you dude, calm yourself.

She's the closest thing to fanservice the game has thanks to her naruto run so we'll make do until they add a sexy ladytype
They're independent for a reason!
The only thing i wish about Pathfinder was that he sounded a little more actually like a robot, but given the nature of the ping/callout system i can understand why he doesn't.
I really hope they do cinematics or comics for the legends because right now they seem pretty basic in terms of character.

I’ts pretty obvious that we’ll get new maps since the map name is in the loading screen
And (hopefully) event/gimmick matches like in Fortnite and PUBG. One thing I (kind of) like about PUBG's event matches as there were a few where it was basically TDM, there were respawn waves, only one part of the map (usually a fairly large part with lots of buildings and cover) was available, everybody got a random loadout, and you'd just TDM until somebody scored around 50 points. It's a fun way to get into just pure gunplay without having to worry about the overhead of queuing, waiting for the match to start, getting teammates that might not want to TDM, having matches where you instantly die to somebody that melees you to death or you don't get a gun before you die, etc I personally think, if solo were added, just removing the ults or making their charge based on more than just time would be good enough (assuming we eventually get universal Gibby/Caustic buffs).
You do know that ultimate accelerant is an item right? but I see what you mean.
What exactly are you implying? Yes, I'm aware it exists, I've almost played the game for 100 hours. If you mean it could be a problem, remove it from the solo item drop pool? Ult accelerants just boost ult cooldowns by a flat 20% after 8 seconds. It doesn't change the ult dynamic in any way except making some ults come up faster. That's why Pathfinders almost never use the item (it's just as fast to wait for your charge to come without forcing yourself to meander at the speed of a turtle while you activate the charge), that's why Lifelines always want you to give them the item. At the end of the day, the ults are only based around timing, which IMO is one of my least favorite ways to actually balance mechanics (multiple times in the Team Fortress 2 thread I've posted ideas to try and usurp the time-based cooldown abilities with actual single-use abilities that are restored through other means).
I was more of pointing out it does make ults come out faster. and thus less time dependent.
Still a pretty un-interactive variable in the terms of gameplay involvement, since it's purely random whether or not one will even drop for you. I've had games where I've gotten literally 6 ult accelerants in the span of ~10 minutes, and games where I've never seen an ult accelerant. They aren't interactive beyond "use them to spend 8 seconds gaining 20%", either, no input outside of the option of using them. I don't think the issue is serious enough to even warrant changes unless we're talking about dream pie in the sky changes, but I do feel ults are way too impactful for a solo variant of gameplay since they tend to be so un-interactive and wildly varying in terms of active vs. passive strength. A Lifeline with All Purple Everything is hard to tell the difference between her using 20 ults to get that far or zero, but a Bangalore just tossing her ult at you and getting a kill because it was off cooldown is also super un-interesting, and in a solo-only game would completely upset the balance of gunplay and looting. In the actual 3v3 gameplay? They're fine, Bang and Gibby ults encourage moving out of a hot zone but aren't so OP that they could kill your entire team outside of not being prepared, Caustic's ult is fine, Pathfinder's is fine, Mirage needs a new ult, Wraith's is mostly useless but she makes up for it by being insanely strong otherwise, and Bluff Hundr's ult is borderline OP, again since they get it for practically free without any engagement and it can be so game-changing with just how fast they go and how potent their mid-long range combat becomes.
Does Titanfall 2 have autobalancing? Either people are genuine crybabies or the game's just not connecting enough people because every other round ends with about 2-3 people on one team and the other is stacked.
People just quit constantly when they get remotely stomped. It's a huge problem as I can't recall the game ever autobalancing me or my team about. I tend to get backfilled instead into losing matches.
TF|2 does have autobalance but it only applies at the start of a match, it wont apply anywhere else and if a round ends, it wont autobalance then either. Its a really bad way of going about it. Also doesn't help the matchmaking has never been perfect, it will start games with just 3 people and its been doing this since day one.
I connect with Caustic because his jumpmaster-lines are always like "WE'RE ALL GOING TO FUCKING DIE!" and it's true every time!
caustic is atleast fun on a self-aware level. whoever designed the looks and voicelines for Bangalore and Lifeline need to be fired however. holy fuck do I hate Lifeline's design and lines especially. Bangalore I can atleast tolerate (and because she is my main)
I FEEL SO ALIVE WHEN RAPIDLY APPROACHING DEATH.
What’s the matter, you don’t like “thick jemecian eckcent ‘ere” ?
The most meta 4th wall breaking character of our time.
Caustic is garbage but god damn is he fun to play
Just won a game while arguing with a Trump supporter
I can't say I'm surprised in the slightest (in a non-mean way). If his gas didn't gimp his teammates and maybe did a hair more damage it'd be great. Otherwise I'm in the same camp: I know he's terrible but I love playing him so much.
Wingman is so satisfying, clearing a squad after your randoms are downed and they say "wait did you get them all?"
