Legend

Reason

Ballistic

I was confused whether I should mention him. After all, he has received few nerfs in certain areas. However, few of the changes will benefit anyone who uses him. Overheat now applies to just one weapon, giving you full freedom over the other. You can now mitigate the nerf of Overheat by simply switching the gun.
He can also offer Sprint Boost to every ally within a range after activating his Ultimate.

Valkyrie

She’s the only name on this list who has not been buffed. She has lost her ability to land faster with her skydives. However, she remains one of the strongest characters in the meta.

Pathfinder

Respawn finally seems to have grown warm towards Pathfinder by handing him a buff. His grapple can be used more consistently, and you need to wait less to activate his Ultimate. The combined abilities allow him to move quicker than before.
His Landing Gear will help you while chasing enemies or escaping from them since you can have better control in the air and take less damage from bad landings.

Vantage

Since Vantage has neither been nerfed or buffed, she remains a strong choice in the meta. Her core gameplay remains strong with emphasis on dominating the early game. You can also use the Horizon’s passive to aid in her movement.
