Bangalore Damage Taken Increase Needed
Since Pathfinder had his grapple speed drastically reduced, the only character I have trouble killing is Bangalore. Her speed boost makes it extremely difficult to kill when they decide to run. 5% ...

@WitherpizzaAssuming you had to run, how many times have you been able to escape a full team while using Bangalore? Basically every single time right? If I shoot near or at her, she gets a massive speed buff with no drawbacks and a very low cooldown. I have chased Bangalores for over a minute straight to no avail.
No other character can escape as easily as Bangalore. Wraith leaves a giant trail to follow, pathfinder's grapple is so slow now that he dies midair constantly and his downed body grapples away lol...
Coupling her massive speed boost with the horrendous 20hz tick or less servers, makes it impossible to hit her sometimes. I should start recording clips of shots that visibly pass through her body. A nerf is only needed until the servers can be run at 30hz to 60hz. Search this forum or others for all the detailed information about why that matters. Battle(non)sense does great videos about netcode and he explains the jargon too.
@Pallo420 I've actually never come to a situation where using Bangalore's speed boost helped me get out of a bad situation/fight. I once had a game where I was solo trying to get my squad back, and a full squad of 3 was chasing me through the whole map in Kings Canyon, they were so desperate to kill me, I just took a zipline to a higher ground and they just followed suit making them an easy kill.
With that being said, the whole time they were always on my tail and I could never shake them, Wraith and Pathfinder can escape easier even after their recent nerfs.
Wraith can phase literally avoiding all damage for a short period of time and removing footsteps, so although you could follow the trail, think about if you were playing and a team is sniping at you, well in this situation as Bangalore you could run to the rock that's on your right but risk getting shot even with speed boost. Now if you're playing Wraith, you can move safely to that position without worrying, this is why Wraith players are so confident and aggressive. Because as long as they have their tactical ready, they can just dip whenever the fight gets really heated.
Same with Pathfinder, being able to move really quickly and almost unpredictably can be a deciding factor on whether that Pathfinder lives or dies.
Pathfinder can also Grapple Slingshot Attack, which is when a Pathfinder launches themselves towards you while you're trying to heal in just a matter of seconds, not even Octane can push that quickly.
So what, Bangalore gets a little speed boost while being shot at, just like @hhnbbfggty66, I've killed lots of Bangalore's and Octane's, they are honestly pretty easy to hit and have almost never escaped from my deadly grasp.
Goodday fellow Thread peers.
