Ash needs a few changes... (Detailed)
- I personally believe that Ash needs a buff, at her peak when she was "unbalanced" she had 2 dashes which each has a 30% speed bonus compared to 1 now, while also nerfing the Ash dash cooldown to (8 or 12) seconds (I timed 10 seconds), I think a fair change would be to change the dash cooldown, speed, or amount. Dashing currently feels very momentum based, its only really useful if you do it with speed already (e.g. after a superglide/mantle boost/wall bounce/jump pad etc) but when doing a normal slide jump, it feels very unrewarding.
- First option
Change Ash dash cooldown to 6 seconds (1 max dash), and give a small bonus speed % (e.g. 15%). I believe she should become an Assault, as characters like Revenant, Fuse, have very high movement capabilities but also stay in the Assault role.
- Second option
Make Ashes cooldown 8 seconds, if not already 8 seconds, make her Level 2 (Blue perks) the current Level 3 (Purple perks) (+1 Snare // or // Multiple enemies snared and longer duration), then make her purple perks something like (+1 dash // or // -30s Ult cooldown). The level 3 perks are suggested so you still need to get her to level 3 before you can get an extra dash if you want to chose that, and with the previously nerfed speed of ash dashes it would be the furthest thing from overpowered.
With an extra potential dash i feel like she would fit more into the (Skirmisher role).
These are only ideas, if in testing they would be too overpowered nerf at your own will but i believe it would create more balance as the current Ash pick rate is pretty low.
OPEN TO DISCUSSION.
