All My Mirage Fixes And QOL Updates.

Hi, my name is Pholanx, I am a Masters Mirage Main.

I love playing mirage, but I have some issues with him. From seeing other people play him and through my own experiences.

Here's a list of things I think would make Mirage a better legend without "Buffing" him. These are just fixes to his current kit and Quality of Life updates based on how much I've played Mirage. 

Lets begin at the start of the game.

1. Teammates getting confused by flying decoys.

I've had teammates get scared of my decoys, countless times. One time my teammates landed next to real enemies in order to get away from my 2 decoys that were used to scare off enemies from landing at that location. Adding the word "Decoy" above them fixes so much. As much as i love saying "Haha those are my decoys, YOU GOT BAMBOOZLED" this needs to be changed.

2. Decoys shooting off into the abyss.

When one of your team mates are jump master and they pull up while flying as you send a decoy, your decoys just shoot out into nothing at really high speeds. This can happen when you are jump master too.

A fix to this would be to just send decoys to exactly where you are looking below a certain threshold. so you cant send any out that will shoot off at the speed of light.

3. Decoys not landing where you point.

Another problem while dropping from the ship is that decoys usually don't go exactly where you are looking. Most of the time they fall short, for example, while going to Skyhook, and you send decoys towards it from the south they end up hitting the mountain. But if you look too high they sometimes shoot off into the abyss. (see above)

4. Sometimes can't use decoys on Valkyrie Ultimate.

While on the topic of flying decoys. Valkyries Ultimate gives you the option to send out decoys, but whenever I try they rarely work. I see it telling me to Press E to send decoys so I know its an option and I have had it work in the past, but it rarely works. Very Rarely.

5. Jump Tower Decoys.

When using a jump tower it takes forever to be able to send out decoys while flying (Lots of bugs while flying) when being chased from below it is very easy to tell which mirage is which if he sends them in another direction since the decoys he sends deviate too late. if he was able to send decoys the second he gets flight from a jump tower would be best. This also goes for Valkyrie Ultimate (see above)

Okay so now on the ground!

6. Decoys die on small rocks

Decoys die on small rocks and then you get the full 15 second cooldown. Very Annoying. Cooldown should reset if that happens.

7. Decoy has Blue Trail that blocks vision in CQC

When using your Decoys you can see it leaves behind a blue trail. It can be very blinding in CQC if you use your ultimate. I've had team mates complain they couldn't see the enemies because of the blue light and decoys. Please remove the blue trail from them.

8. Decoys Block Vision

Same as the blue trail comment above. Teammates cant differentiate between enemies and my decoys in CQC engagements. Lowering the opacity of decoys for yourself and your team would be great.

9. When Mirage becomes visible from his ultimate, he flickers.

I've played vs a lot of Mirages, and a lot of people have played vs me, when I use my ultimate they somehow exactly know which one is me. That's because the real mirage Flickers. its very easy to tell when they are all darting off in different directions that the one that flickers is the real one. its very faint but so easy to pick up on. Either make them all flicker, or Mirage shouldn't flicker.

Mirage is in a decent state, not one where he is picked every ranked game which is good but needs some tweaking for better player experience. Nothing in this post is a buff. Just a Quality of Life Tweak.

I think that's pretty much all of the things I can come up with. Please let me know what you think, and leave a thumbs up or something. Thanks for reading <3

  • Hey, I'm XLnarrator, and I think the Devs. don't care about Apex. Who can blame the Devs. Apex is free, not to be taken seriously. That's why I haven't been on these forums really. So go back to the games you were playing before this.

    Every legend suffers a nerf, its pretty much COD just a little better

    @XLnarratorYou are so right my friend...
    Battlefield 6 is coming.....i will certainly quit apex when that happens.

    @PholanxTTV  I tried to suggest some changes to mirage myself but nothing had happened ,i wish u good luck , u can check my post right here   ...

  • With all due respect, your post is about changing his core abilities that don't exactly need to be changed drastically. 

    This post is just fixing what is broken, not buffing him in any way, but these changes make him stronger because the broken parts make him weaker. If that makes any sense. 

    And the Devs have listened to my cries in the past, I made 2-3 posts in the past about changing Mirages Passive and Ultimate since they were complete garbage. And here we are today Mirage is almost viable in a ranked setting.

    @PholanxTTV "his core abilities that don't exactly need to be changed drastically. "
    Those are no way drastical changes bro....sorry
  • Okay sorry, my mistake, Rephrase that to changes that aren't necessary. Mirage is in a good spot, decoys are a “made you look” instead of mimic everything you do.

  • Bump, if more people could reply or upvote that would be sweet, thanks 😘
