All Legend nerfs and buffs for the Genesis Collection Event in Apex Legends

Lots of nerfs, and a couple buffs.

With the Genesis Collection Event, a lot more than just skins and map changes came to Apex Legends. A whole new set of patch notes dropped, with many changes to our beloved Legends afoot. The Legends that saw gameplay changes with this update are as follows: Octane, Revenant, Lifeline, and Bloodhound.
