Catalyst Pick Rate Spikes Thanks to Powerful Seer Combo in Apex Legends

Catalyst's pick rate have spiked after players discovered a powerful combo with Seer in Apex Legends.
Despite only being introduced during Apex Legends: Eclipse, Catalyst's popularity hasn't quite maintained the high numbers. She possesses a pretty unique kit, one that makes her ideal for stopping opponents in their tracks and turning the tide of combat. But, given her specific abilities, Catalyst hasn't been everyone's go-to Legend.
In fact, she's often found near the bottom of the pick rates. Catalyst's pick rates dropped from 12.1% at the start of Season 15 to just 1.7% at the start of Season 16.
But, surprisingly, players have started paying Catalyst a bit more attention. Coupled with her new Controller class rework, now they've found that she's one half of a very OP duo.

Recently, Catalyst's pick rate has increased by 23%, with an overall pick rate of 2.3%, and it's largely down to a Seer combo that's been cropping up in Ranked.

To pull off the combo, players need to pull off a Catalyst wall and Seer Ultimate at the same time. This, essentially, provides players with wall hacks and prevents enemies from fighting back. To put it bluntly, it's a pretty unfair and one-sided tactic.
Plenty of players have caught onto the combo, too, so don't be surprised if you run into it mid-match. There's a good chance that Respawn might even patch it. If you're looking to try it out, do so fast.
