The question is: Is Apoc still relevant in 2024? Not "Is Apoc relevant in BGs?"
When he was released, there was no BGs. He was built for questing and AW because of his synergies. He is intended for a synergy team, not to be a solo threat.
But anyway, I've used my r3 Apoc in BGs against Zemo because of his bleed and disorient immunities. Those alone removes some of Zemo's abilities. He stood toe to toe with Zemo. If he had been a r5 or r5A Apocalypse, he would have knocked him out.
As for apoc, he has fallen of a bit, but is still a very great questing attacker and a tanky defender.
Even for story content have you tried ramping him up without the Cable synergy? I think you're just biased at this point.
Is he the INSANE meta defining Mutant that he once was? No.
The horseman ability will always be relevant.
Bullseye has been the meta AW boss recently, and the Horseman pre-fight makes him significantly more manageable.
Every now and again, there will be a BGs meta where he makes an impact on Attack - and definitely can be a stall with the right node set on Defense.
If he's ever in the Attack Tactic for Alliance War, he'll very likely be a top 3 option for that Tactic (obviously, depending).
He's still a great Questing Champion - lots of extremely relevant utility there, and fine enough damage - especially with the Stryfe Synergy... but the difficulty of Story content has gotten a bit easier as time goes on, making that less impactful.
At the end of the day, a Champion can be relevant to your account if you want them to be relevant to your account - and no tier list or individual game mode will change that.
Just make sure no skill champ can purify any of his debuffs (whether via charges or cleanse notably), hence no advantage to jabari, zemo, kate, chee'lith
Apocalypse should NOT have any disadvantage vs skill class. PERIOD.
SP1 - final hit is true damage, bypasses all armor and physical resistance
SP3 - regenerate x% health base on lost health
Also, for his signature ability
for the 8 seconds before he becomes bleed and incinerate immune as well as disorient immune...reduced by 1 sec every 25 sig levels
ALL other (active and passive) debuffs (damaging and non-damaging) unless from Tech class will have potency and duration reduced by 10% for every 40 sig level
