Re: Revenant Buff

@DaFilthyReindeerI agree with the Hit box problem, I was hoping they fix it while they update the game for bloodhound's event (The Old Ways), but it never happened.

I start to think they do not care much about Revenant now or maybe they were not completely ready for releasing it, not just because of bugs (such as totem vanished [fixed], tarin totem bug [still there]), or weak abilities, but have you noticed that in the last event and upcoming bloodhound's event they did not introduce even a single new skin for Revenant?

  • @Sir_Namedit's not really about the update time (The Old Ways will be live tomorrow, 7th, I guess), and you don't have to wait for an update to see what changes happened, just check the update/patch notes for each update on their official webpage.

    I kinda wish for Forge at the moment XD, I feel he was more balanced/useful than current Revenant. However, Revenant is still good for fun and casual games, but he has no place in Ranked comparing to path, wraith, gibby, watson, etc. (Same issue goes for Octane and Mirage in Ranked as well)

  • @Alphabets I see what u mean.
    But keep in mind, I don’t think those are the patch notes, just a summary of the event.
    My evidence
    1. It doesn’t say patch notes. (At least in title or that I saw)
    2. Lack of any technical fixes. There aren’t any details other than info on the new location. There isn’t any “fixed bug where players would die”.
    3. Patch notes usually release about same time as the update.
  • @Sir_NamedYou were totally right, they heard us!

    Patch notes:

    Revenant - Player feedback that Revenant wasn't feeling viable enough has been loud and clear and game data showed the same. Our goal is to bring his effectiveness up to parity with other Legends.

    Silence
    Increased duration of status effect from 10s -> 20s
    Silence now disables Gibraltar’s Gun Shield.
    Increased the duration of area of effect from 5s -> 10s
    Silence has 2 charges now

    Death Totem
    Characters are now respawned with 50 health (or whatever health they had when they activated it, if lower) instead of 1

    Removed Low Profile

    Also they said this is fixed now: Fixed bug for cases when Revenant places his ULT Death Totem on the train, a player is respawned to it while on the train, and the train is moving, the player could be respawned somewhere else on the map or even off the map.

    I didn't test him yet, but they sound good and I hope he works better now and we finally see him in Ranked.

  • @Alphabets Loving the buffs. I enjoyed using him before, but now he's certainly stronger.
    Only downside is he's getting picked more now.
