Bangalore Buff Idea

Before going ahead and explain my thoughts on Bangalare I have to state that I only picked her up recently. Im not a Bangalore main, nor I have much games played with her; that said

I've been thinking on her current state a lot and here's what I came up with:

I vastly see Bangalore as a versatile character that fit well both offensive and defensive playstile. Her tattical ability (aka smoke granades) comes handy in multiple situation, when u have to rez a teammate, heal u back up to full, or push enemy teams. Her passive is, again, very usefull to get out of a bad situation and comes clutch in a 1v1/1vX situation allowing her an aggressive playstile.

That said, her ulti in my opinion is the major letdown. 

Let's, for example, compare her ultimate ability with the Gibby one, which really fit the character and synergises well with his kit. While I understand that Bangalore ultimate serves mainly a defensive role, it really doesen't fit nor synergise at all with her overall playstile or kit.

Using her ultimate to push a team isn't really a thing considering that u get yourself both the slowdown and the damage if you try to navigate through it.

My idea was, in fact, to improve her overall synergy with the kit, maybe allowing her passive to proc while standing inside her own ultimate, and even completely remove the damage you take from it. 

While it could be a bit too much of an improvement, i definitely think that in the current state, her ult is, overall, on the weaker side of the game, and the Legend doesen't even see any play in the competitve scene.

Hoping this would be a thing in the future.

  • i dont think she is actually a bad legend.

    taking no damage would be too much of a buff tbh.

    the best buff i would can imagine would be, that she is not detectable by abilitys while standing in her tectical smokes.

    i feel the meta is her biggest problem. lots of people play a bloodhound in which case the defensive smoke often backfires.

  • I think being able to run through her own ult unscathed would be a bit much,

    What about if when her ultimate lands it reveals enemies within the area so you know which way you've made them run off too. Make it perfect for offensively breaking up a team, if you see them try to avoid the damage in different directions you can divide and conquer.

  • She doesn't need a single change, she is fair and balanced. Never ever she needs to be changed, or we have to nerf her or buff her. So, no she is fine, don't believe me? Watch Shiv, and some other Streamers. 

  • @TuFinnI think you simply don't understand bangalore's ultimate purpose.

    Bangalore's ultimate is not meant to kill players but rather act as:
    a) a way to force enemies to reposition to an unfavorable postion
    b) deterrent for enemies chasing you / squad mates
    A.K.A Crowd control

    Besides if you drop bangalore's ultimate and rush directly through it - you're doing it wrong. Drop the ultimate and run around the edges of it - players will both have a hard time telling where you have repositioned to and become vulnerable to flanking in the process.

    I used to think bangalore's ultimate was weak in comparison's to Gibby's, but they serve completely different purposes. Upon realizing that I have both moved up tiers and became a way better bangalore player.

    For example if you drop ultimate on enemies when they're next to a building, obviously you won't get any kills as they'll simply reposition to inside the building. However, you can do it on purpose and use to your advantage - keep 3 grenades on you and toss them inside the building, then you're free to flush the rats out all while they're disoriented, out of position and without a clue of where exactly the enemies are 😉
