Apex Legends has entered season 20. We have our favorite characters to play but we all agree some are better in certain situations. We will rank the Legends from the worst to the best, depending on how they match the current meta.
Each season brings new perks, buffs, or nerfs to each Legend. Respawn's intentions may be to balance out all characters but, instead, they introduce drawbacks or advantages for all Legends in multiple scenarios.
Season 20: All Legends Ranked
Apex Legends Season 20: D Tier Legends
Some Legends just don't cut it when it comes to the current meta. That's why you will find them here. The two characters below have had some improvement this season but not enough to move them from D Tier.
Lifeline - D Tier
Lifeline's perks aren't as good as they could have been. Respawn could change some things to make her more of a Support. Unfortunately, she doesn't cut it right now.
Mirage - D Tier
Mirage doesn't fit into any role. He's not an Entry Fragger. He's not a Secondary Fragger and doesn't fit as a Support.

Apex Legends Season 20: C Tier Legends
Here we have another two Legends. They might not be the worst but they won't be ranking any higher than C Tier.
Octane - C Tier
Octane has potential. If you are one of the few who can work with his skill set and use his speed and movement to dodge bullets then he can be a strong Legend. Use him to distract your enemies and create an opening for your team.
Ballistic - C Tier
Considering deathballing is meta right now, Ballistic has a good skill set. He's simply not diverse enough in other scenarios.

Apex Legends Season 20: B Tier Legends
We will find four Legends in the B Tier. These characters need some skill to learn their tricks but can be useful in certain situations.
Ash - B Tier
Ash's perks have some uses but are not as powerful as they could be. With some work from Respawn, she could turn into a strong Legend but right now, she's nothing special.
Caustic - B Tier
Like Ballistic, in certain situations, Caustic can be a good character. He excels at stalling opponents but just isn't diverse enough.

Fuse - B Tier
Fuse's strength is stopping enemies from holding down one spot or staying in one place. Most opponents will be deathballing, meaning Fuse doesn't fit well in the current meta.
Seer - B Tier
While not as powerful as other Legends, Seer has seen some improvements this season.

Apex Legends Season 20: A Tier Legends
We have far more Legends in the A Tier because the buffs to their perks have balanced them out nicely.
Bangalore - A Tier
Since Respawn removed the Digital Threat scopes from the SMGs, Bangalore isn't as strong as she has been in previous seasons.
Gibraltar - A Tier
Gibraltar might not be the best Support but with the perks to his Dome Shield, he is a viable choice this season.

Catalyst - A Tier
Catalyst's new perks have undone some of the past nerfs, making her as strong as she once was.
Crypto - A Tier
Crypto looks stronger than he ever has with his new perks. The only thing keeping him from higher tiers is how much he relies on his drone.

Horizon - A Tier
Horizon is an overall strong Legend and there isn't much Respawn can do to take her out of the current meta. Her Ultimate can take out enemies by itself if used well. Her Passive and Tactical give her great maneuverability.
Loba - A Tier
Loba has fallen out of the meta slightly because, with the favored tactic being deathballing, all of the Death Boxes are close to each other, making the black market less needed.
Valkyrie - A Tier
Valkyrie's new perks are bringing the character back into the role she used to be in. She might not be as good as she was in the early seasons but with some work, she can be a strong Legend.

Wattson - A Tier
Now Wattson can place two pylons down it will make pushing any position so much harder for her enemies. When used well, this Legend can help your team dominate.
Vantage - A Tier
Vantage's new perks bring her back up in the tiers. Accessing Ring Consoles is a great bonus because you want to be in the Endgame position, using her sniper to pick people off.

Apex Legends Season 20: S Tier Legends
In the S Tier, we have the best of the best in the meta right now. These are the most popular and strongest characters. The buffs and nerfs this season have made these Legends the cream of the crop.
Bloodhound - S Tier
Not many people can fault Bloodhound. He is aggressive, can see through smoke, and is the go-to character for many players.
Conduit - S Tier
Conduit didn't get many nerfs this season. She remains a strong and viable Support Legend.
Newcastle - S Tier
If Newcastle was a strong Legend in the previous seasons, this season he is even better. His perks gave him an unneeded boost, making him a perfect Support character.

Revenant - S Tier
As with Newcastle, Revenant was already a great character and his perks have only made him stronger.
Wraith - S Tier
Players' one problem with Wraith was how slow her Tactical was to activate. With her new perks that is no longer the case.

Apex Legends Season 20: S+ Tier Legends
Here we have the secretly broken Legends. The buffs to the perks have made these three characters extremely meta. You can use some simple tricks with these Legends to decimate your opponents and win match after match.
Mad Maggie - S+ Tier
Mad Maggie's new perks are catching everyone by surprise. With a little practice, her Riot Drill can do so much damage.
Pathfinder - S+ Tier
Pathfinder lost a lot of love from his players after Respawn nerfed him repeatedly. Now, with some practice, he is back thanks to his new perks.
Rampart - S+ Tier
Rampart's new perks are boosting her into a higher tier this season. With her faster reloads or improved handling with Sheila, she will surprise everyone.
