Of the 17 Legends in the game, who is the worst? Who has the worst skillset?

Apex Legends has a diverse cast of champions, with different skillsets and playstyles to dive into, but some are more popular than others. Whether a lack of popularity equates to being the "worst "Apex Legend is objective, but there are some pretty strong arguments for it.
While we already know who the "best" Apex Legend is, who is the worst? Based on pick rates from Apex Legends Status, a site that provides information on Apex Legends' server status and player statistics, and our very own Apex Legends Season 9 tier list, we think we've found the answer.
Who Is The Least Popular Apex Legend?
Let's first examine who could be up for the less-than-prestigious title of worst Apex Legend, and head to the D Tier of the tier list. Four Legends in total make up the bottom rung of the Apex ladder - Crypto, Rampart, Fuse, and Revenant. Identified as Legends that add something to the game, just not quite enough.
While their usefulness in Battle Royale is up for debate, their popularity is as clear as day, thanks to the stats.
Below are the stats from Apex Legends Status on the three lowest pick rates in the game.
Crypto - 1.6%
Rampart -1.6%
Wattson - 1.4%
Compare that with the current highest pick rate of Octane at 12.9%, and those are some dismal numbers, especially for Wattson.
Poor Wattson, she just wanted to make her papa proud. Appearing in C Tier of our tier list, mainly thanks to her shield-regenerative properties an removal of Low Profile, meaning she no longer takes 5% extra damage due to her smaller stature. Wattson isn't the flavour of the month anymore and hasn't been for a long time. Wattson's pick rate is actually up 0.65% in the last 24 hours (at the time of writing), meaning she was even lower than 1.4% a mere day ago.
So there you have it, technically Wattson is the least popular (and hence the worst) Apex Legend as of right now - but we love her anyway.
