A former and current Respawn developer attempted to fix the issue with the Revenant kit and the current pick speed. Respawn Entertainment game designer John Larson detailed the philosophy behind Choice Speed.
Revenant is known to other legends as a unique gameplay experience, so it can be difficult to stay true to its nature when trying to make it more meta efficient. He’s supposed to play as an assassin, but the game is team-based, so it’s hard to build his kit around team play while still maintaining that fantasy.
It’s a pretty solid cast… I don’t have much to add!
Forever, when Rev first came out, I collected over 6,000 themed design powered kills. I dusted off a bit to explore the Revtan meta but felt slimy. (1/6)

Whether you agree with Larson’s thought process or not, the result is the same. Revenant is in a terrible place. And based on his tweet, Respawn is working on something.
“The best I can do is respond to you on the PR: We know the frustration surrounding Rev, we know his audition rating was low, and we’re motivated to do the thematic design justice with a rewarding game.”
But due to the uncertainty of changes, Revenant may remain the same for some time.
