His usage rate among Apex fans grew as his utilities in the game saw some huge gains in a short amount of time. Mirage’s recent rework in season 5 really made the character click for many players. And his usage rate is now in a pretty decent stage.

Additionally, his popularity has gone up. Consequently, he is now a pretty balanced legend. In the new season, Respawn didn’t make any changes. Gibraltar has been a part of the new meta since season 4. With the recent changes to his Ultimate’s range alongside his tactical “ Silence” which now has two charges, he is in a pretty good state right now in season 8. Only after players shared their frustration with how underwhelming new legends feel, Respawn seriously started to buff Revenant. Back then Respawn liked to launch a new character in a pretty neutral state. Initially, players avoided him because he was pretty underpowered. And in season 8, Respawn decided not to make any changes to her kits. However, her new abilities like being able to revive two players at the same time have made her really useful in almost all stages of the game in season 6. Even before all those buffs, she was actually pretty decent in terms of balance. Lifeline also received some rework/buffs back in season 5. This really helped him become more viable at different skill levels. So, in season 8, Respawn finally decided to give this speedster some massive buffs with a revamped jump pad. However, his utilities were still not that great in high ELO matches.

In public matches, his usage rate is rather high. Back in season 7, Respawn buffed him by doubling his healing rate from 0.5 hp/s to 1.0 hp/s. Later, Respawn gave him the ability to use double jumps. Octane received some slight buffs back in season 5.
