BALANCING MIRAGE

Mirage is not a popular legend neither in pubs nor in ranked so i have some suggestions  to balance him a bit :

Tactical Ability: Psyche Out

  • Mirage sends out a holographic decoy to confuse the enemy.

Suggestion: when controlled ,the holographic decoy should animate everything that the real mirage does: shooting, recharging shields ,health, throwing grenades etc.....

Passive Ability: Now you see me...

  • Mirage automatically drop a decoy and cloak for five seconds when knocked down. Becomes cloaked when reviving teammates or using respawn beacons.

Suggestion: All good here.

Ultimate Ability: Life of the Party 

  • Mirage deploys a team of controllable decoys to distract enemies.

Suggestion 1: Decoys should spawn in random directions not in circle pattern + same as tactical change.

(Experienced players shoots the real mirage most of the time!!!)

Suggestion 2: While cloacked  mirage should take less damage or no damage at all.

Suggestion 3: While cloacked  mirage should be completely invisible .

    Did you know that controller aim assist does NOT magnet towards mirage decoys? Feels like that's kinda unfair...

    @JekkiesI really don’t think thats the ‘’issue’’ with mirage, most players have his ult memorized by now... he uses his ult but hes not 100% invisible because you can still see the blue halo thingys so its fairly easy to follow the real one if you do the ult right in front of somebody so I like to use it then just crouch slide and kinda spin around them so they get confused 

    Its also pretty easy to guess which ones real just by looking at which one isn’t running into walls or stuck on something else, before they added decoy footstep sounds i would just listen and shoot the real one but this buff actually did help a little

    to be honest I feel like mirage is in a great place right now, I’m by no means a pro I only have 444 kills,29 wins,138,406 damage but compared to season 1 mirage the current mirage is godlike I love bamboozling everyone as him and yesterday I won 2 games in a row by just using his ult to escape then healed up and went back to grab banners and respawned my randoms and we looted up whatever garbage loot we could find I dropped them some heals and shields and then somehow we killed the final squads

     my one random was dying laughing because I would just go right up to the deathboxes with the teams there and sent out a decoy to bamboozle them and just left like nothing happened and he was like LOL The Invisible Man I don’t know how you did it but you did it

    @papawolf4Zeus, sooxfar, and backoffmyjankz have been using mirage in alot of their videos, you want to know a legend I NEVER see any pro players using? Wattson... I see them playing octane, bangalore,caustic,mirage, rampart, wraith,lifeline, loba, rarely crypto (mainly just staycation tbh), gibralter, bloodhound, pathfinder, etc

    I have not seen a single streamer play Wattson in at least 4-5 seasons... while I see mirage every 3-5 videos

    mirage is a really strong legend, most players just don’t know how to properly use him... you will be fighting face to face and a mirage will just send a random decoy at you while you are spraying them and thats not how you are supposed to use mirage

    @TheApexLegendNubAs far as i can say , u are not a mirage main nor  playing it, so please stay away from this subject.
    Just listen what sooxfar says about mirage.

    In my opinion mirage is not in a good place at the moment....its just good for low lvl lobbies.

    @papawolf4 i agree sorry but i dont think you use him. If you did you would realize the value he actually does hold. He is almost OP now. I see a lot of people using him consistently. He is balanced as can be how could you want more? Decoys make noise, alt is super confusing in a heated battle i have won many fights i should have died because of his alt, hes invisible when downed, and you want more? That would be too much. Your asking for him to be way too powerful. Theres a reason you can still see the glow just the same as you can see a wraith phase away. Other characters can not escape nearly as easily

    @papawolf4 I use Mirage all the time and just recently crafted a new finisher because of how often I use him, he is a really strong legend but most players don’t understand how to properly bamboozle people and just send out a random decoy in a panic mid fight... when they are literally face to face with their opponent

    @TheApexLegendNubstop saying he is a really strong legend...because he is not.
    I ve rarely seen a mirage in diamond lobby ....its useless in ranked !
    Mirage is strong JUST for low level lobbies !
