Maggies abilities are cohesive when you think about it. She's just trying to bring as much chaos as she can to the games. What's more chaotic than a bloody warlord running at you super fast with a shotgun while setting you on fire?
The drill also forces people out of cover. Anyone who thinks they can hide and take potshots or recover from Maggie is going to learn you don't run from her.
I feel she has the most untapped potential when it comes to discovering things like the crypto blazing drone hopefully they don't nerf stuff like that.
And it looks *wrong* on the character select screen. Like idk why it irks me so much but it really does. "Mad Maggie" doesn't feel like a military callsign or superhero name the same way most of the others do
3:15 Well, enemies caught in Horizon´s ultimate are also highlighted to her (at least it was that way in S11), so it´s technically the sixth legend with some sort of scan in a row
I think her passive ties her abilities together. Both her tac, and ult deal some damage, and in most surcumstances, to enemies that you don't have direct line of sight to. The short scan gives you just enough information to know what your enemies are doing or if they are still where you think they are.
7:31 now hold on. Maggie is a prisoner of the Apex Games. She doesn't have a whole lot of equipment when compared to, let's say Bangalore, who has access to an airstrike. Maybe the people behind the games just gave her the beyblade and wrecking ball because they were just lying around
Then she would be Fuse. The point is to actively discourage using the drill this way If she could direct stick people there would be no reason to use Fuse.
@@Nist349 How is guns not op but a drill is? Sick and tired of whiners thinking everything is OP, stop using that word so lightly. Just say strong. What? Is your vocab small?
You're right when it comes to her abilities they are incohesive, but the tagline of the season is to "embrace the madness" Soooo in a way it makes sense that it doesn't make senese 🤷
You use the drill to flush enemies out of cover, the ultimate to stun them and push up with your team, and your passive to get the first shot and make shotguns better once you’re up close. It’s definitely cohesive.
Gameplay wise I get it, don't get me wrong, it was just story wise it seems like she grabbed whatever was in her immediate areaand went with it S'funny is all
I think her abilities are cohesive. She is built around pushing, speed boost to push with shotgun up close. Short term tracking for peeking fights with a shotgun, can also flush people out and force them into you with tact again working very well with corner/cover fights with a shotty. Wrecking ball can be used to knock people out of cover, just as her drill can. I think her kit works great together. Edit: Read your follow up comment
Honestly, Macro is right about Maggies ability's not matching together but I think thats the point. She's supposed to be a chaotic character, right? Especially her ultimate, just release it in a small building then boom, You dont know whats going on.
@@orangeglow57Official her tactical is too situational to be a game changer and doesn’t have a lot of uses. If it had the ability to stick to enemies or the ground it’d be a lot more useful. Her ult is very unpredictable and although it stuns, it doesn’t do a lot of damage. Warlord and detection are the most useful unfortunately respawn nerfed the shotguns to shit. They didn’t put enough thought into her kit which is why she has the lowest opening pick rate out of all the legends.
@@spajas8092 (Tested this) if you shoot the tactical directly at an enemy it lands face up on floors and does damage to anybody close to it, really useful in closed spaces or front of Ziplines! :"D
Hey Macro since Maggie runs faster with a shotgun I have an idea maybe when you do a “for noobs” vid for apex you could do a small bonus segment where you recommend what loadout to use for each legend??? Idk thought it would be a good idea
I really enjoy how they style Maggie's "madness" because it works with both meanings of the word. All the "mad" things she does (biting someone's nose off, taking out a guy's eye with her own broken tooth, etc.) are fuelled purely out of spite. She's like if Doomguy was petty.
One other thing to mention is that the drill can go deep, like really deep haha it can go through several meters and not be affected by the thickness of the wall
That sick mastiff animation reminds me of the old Mozambique animation when you switch it with another gun your character will aggressively throws it to the ground
Idea: The ball only exists because she needed an ultimate. She had the drill, handy tool from salvo, but she had no iconic special thing she could do, so they gave her something destructive as to not break the rule of all their new participants having a gimmick on a timer. She doesn't seem too attached to it, uses it like any other weapon. And has no seeming iconic relation to it whatsoever. It'd just make sense that the apex crew decided to give her something that vaguely fit her kit's theme, because Silva wanted her in soon so they couldn't custom-build any new stuff.
Maggie buff: Add a second shot to her tactical similar to Bangalore smoke. And if they do that, add 8 to 10 seconds to get cool down time to balance it out
Also ability to stick onto enemies and/or thermite effect when shot at the ground. Right now it’s too situational. Outside of an enemy using cover it’s useless (alot of players rely on movement instead).
You can use Maggie's drill on crypto's drone , a flying flame thrower 😂😂😂 You can also dual wield her tactical with other weapons and get a range boost on her drill with scopes on main weapon Ps- macro you already explained the crypto Maggie combo 😂😂😂
Maggie was sent into the games without a respawn becon like other legends so she's die for real in the games and never get respawned. Which I'm guessing is how they're sentencing her to death.
I know there's better Legend Match ups but I feel like Fuse, Maggie and Gibraltar are a good combo Shield to enclose them in Fire surrounding the shield Fire grenades in the shield Fire drill Throw Junkrats ult into the Sheild Etc etc
her equipment fits. Her passive makes it possible for her to get closer to her opponents faster. Her drill is so the opponents need to beware of giving her an opening. and her ball allows her squad to get to the opposing snobs and if she hits the one who gets stoned they give her another opening to push
I'm having SO much fun with Mad Maggie! Gotta say, though: hard disagree with your assessment that her abilities are a grab bag of random things with no cohesion. The way I see it, all of them work together to encourage a "full send, no hesitation, no mercy" playstyle. Drill forces enemies out of cover so you can slap them - the highlighting aspect of Warlord's Ire helps you follow-through on that slapping - the shotgun part of Warlord's Ire encourages you to get up in their face for the slapping - Wrecking Ball further encourages said up-close-and-personal slap time, but it can also make your enemies more vulnerable to being slapped (if you get the stun off), too. I think this synergy is so awesome because it *feels* like Maggie herself-it feels like you're being asked to roleplay as a bloodthirsty lunatic. It feels... Well. Mad!
i think the passive makes sense for maggie, and you can spin the incongruity of her tactical+ult as “well as an underground freedom fighter she’s fought with whatever she could find” lol
7:28 her whole kit is about breaking into buildings and building are close range so that’s why her passive fits yeah sure her ability’s as objects don’t fit but in her kit is works so well
The first passive is good for hitting people thru smoke or with the ult to see where they bounce off to, it can also potentially help see which way people are running if they duck behind a corner
her kit is cohesive due to the theme of displacement (referencing her chaotic character) the wrecking ball pushes enemies towards you, which makes shotguns and SMGS much more useful. Her drill forces enemies out of cover, making them an easy target to run up on and secure the kill
Maggie's drill will also go through up to 30m of solid steel no matter what it doesn't make the flame any longer though, just Pens through to the other side.
I've mained her since release and my squad is just octane, maggie, and gibby. We've had a lot of success and she's gotten me out of my supportive mindset with lifeline and made me the aggressor for our team
Maybe it’s because it’s 3am or maybe it’s because my sense of humour has died, but that whole Mad Mackie bit had me cackling like a madman. Your best intro in ages.
Maggie's abilities go pretty well together. She has a drill for breaching doors or forcing people out of cover, and a wrecking ball to breach doors and stun enemies indoors. After she uses either ability she can follow up with a shotgun (which is great indoors) and speeds faster than anyone else in the game.
Her kit makes sense if you think about it this way: her "scan" is useful after a gunfight where the opponent is weakened and searching cover, then is where you use the drill to scare them out of that cover and the scan allows you shoot the drill exactly where they are, and then, you use your speed boost with shotguns and your ult to rush or breach the area at full speed and catch them by surprise... It's just a breaching character like you said
More tips: The HUD does not mean the drill's fire gets smaller or longer depending on the wall. It's weird, but most walls you can use it on as long as there are no other objects inbetween that may obstruct. All shotguns are viable on her now. Yes, even the Mozambique. Pistols usually have better movement speed with ADS (Aiming down sights) in general than say, a Carbine. But since a Mozambique is considered a pistol and a shotgun, she actually has a speed buff while aiming, making it extremely difficult to hit her in close quarters if you move around while ADS'ing and shooting.
something to note is that the drill is more of a slow burn so if you block a door with it and heal theres a decent chance someone will figure that out and slide through the door and smack you while only taking a couple points of damage
The thought of mad Mackie being macro's age being maggie's mentor is funny Because that means unborn Mackie trained her. He is beyond our understanding
I think her kit specializes putting pressure on the enemy. Her riot drill kicks them out of cover while her passive and wrecking ball makes sure they have nowhere to hide.
another pro tip: put riot drill in front of door, so if enemys are camping behind doors, waiting for you, you can get the jump on them. i hope he didnt say that in the video edit: ofc 6:48 he did talk about it :(
She's an anti camp champ! Cross empty space faster and hoop enemies with the ult, keep track of anyone you hit with the passive, force them out of cover with the drill and clean up at full speed with a shotgun.
I feel like it’s worth noting that her tactical drills then burns so you can shoot it through any wall or any chunk and burn the enemies on the other side. The max distance you can shoot it through a chunk is 15m, and the distance doesn’t change the flame
Also a thing for the tactical You can shoot it and it will drill through anything with a depth of 13 or below (yes anything from what I can tell) with no decrease in the burn range
I’d say her kit actually is pretty cohesive, all breacher based. All of her abilities are counters for people hiding indoors or behind cover. Shotguns tie in because that’s ideal for a close quarters push. Throw ult to run over fast, drill to break down door on the way, and zoom in running fast with a shotgun to finish. Works well imo. Also I think the “scan” complaints for her are a bit of an overreaction, it barely lasts 1 second. Imo it’s just so your enemies dont get lost in the flames of her tactical, same issue fuse’s ult originally had. It’s not really useful for anything else. Just my 2 cents, great vid as always.
Thx for uploading Macro, your vids always give me old Apex feels(back when kings canyon was the norm, before Olympus). I watched all your vids to decide which legend should be my first(heheh octane main go brrrr), and I’ve been watching your vids ever since. Keep up the good work
I think she launched really balanced and she’s definitely gonna end up being a ranked must pick in higher ranks where everyone runs Gibby. Even if her abilities aren’t cohesive they definitely work well with a team
I feel like Maggie’s random abilities fits tbh, on salvo it looks like a planet where materials are scarce, so it makes sense for her to use whatever she could grab. Especially considering she got into apex against her will
Maggie has *some* cohesion. She uses the drill to force enemies put of cover while showing where they are, her other passive and ult are about closing the distance
MAD MACKIE also has a twitter @theMacroShow

Throw ult to run over fast, drill to break down door on the way, and zoom in running fast with a shotgun to finish. Works well imo.
Also I think the “scan” complaints for her are a bit of an overreaction, it barely lasts 1 second. Imo it’s just so your enemies dont get lost in the flames of her tactical, same issue fuse’s ult originally had. It’s not really useful for anything else.
Just my 2 cents, great vid as always.
Here passive kinda baged in control. You can see other meggi scans of your team lol
“The Ability To Actually Hear Footsteps.” 🤣
that perfectly timed finisher punch before they left 😂
Thx for uploading Macro, your vids always give me old Apex feels(back when kings canyon was the norm, before Olympus). I watched all your vids to decide which legend should be my first(heheh octane main go brrrr), and I’ve been watching your vids ever since. Keep up the good work
I think she launched really balanced and she’s definitely gonna end up being a ranked must pick in higher ranks where everyone runs Gibby. Even if her abilities aren’t cohesive they definitely work well with a team
I feel like Maggie’s random abilities fits tbh, on salvo it looks like a planet where materials are scarce, so it makes sense for her to use whatever she could grab. Especially considering she got into apex against her will
I had quit apex a few seasons ago, but this season made me come back
Maggie has *some* cohesion. She uses the drill to force enemies put of cover while showing where they are, her other passive and ult are about closing the distance
Epic vid Macro! It's nice to see u do another "For Noobs"
The lack of cohesion is totally her thing, pure chaos afterall
