Bangalore makes me NEVER want to play Apex again

Bangalore literally just ruins the game for EVERYONE including HER OWN TEAMMATES. 

90% of the times I get a Bangalore on the team they RUIN AND LOSE THE FIGHT for SMOKING HER OWN TEAM WHEN NOBODY HAS DIGITHREATS. 
So now her team has a good position but can't hold it because WE CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. 
And because they smoke your only cover, your only way to fight enemy coming to you is to get out into the open. 

So the bangalore just ruined their own ADVANTAGE and line of sight.
90's of the time, this is how the smoke is used. 
Smoke self, enemy can now FREELY WALK UP BECAUSE YOUR BANGALORE DELETED YOUR LINE OF SIGHT FOR THE ENEMY TEAM TO COVER DISTANCE IN THE OPEN NULLIFYING ALL OF YOUR POSITION ADVANTAGE. 
Like get her the ffffffk out of the game. 

Not a single other Legend RUINS the game as much as Bangalore does. 
And she's also OVERSTACKED with abilities. 
Speed on passive,

MASSIVE smoke on tactical, TWO charges of that garbage. 
And an ultimate that covers the map. 
Throw in a couple of bangalores in late zone and the whole zone is covered in bangalore ult. 
Like what is this trash?
Every other Legend is PURPOSEFULLY designed to NOT be able to ULT THE ENTIRE MAP. 
Gtfo with that garbage. 

They need to decrease her smoke size, decrease her ult size and absolutely DELETE her speed passive. 
Design the kit well, don't just overstack it with *. 
Like define her Legends purpose: breaking line of sight, pushing enemy off positions. 
OK. So delete the speed because those two abilities ARE ALREADY STRONG AS HELL. 
This obsession that every legend Needs a passive has to go to. 
If their kit is strong, you don't NEED to force a passive onto their kit on top of their abilities. 

It's also absurd that she's the only legend that is countered by a rare piece of LEGENDARY GOLD LOOT, the digithreat. 
That goes against the entire design philosophy of the game. 
Loot does NOT counter Legend abilities. Except for Bangalore. 
It's just stupid and there's no argument for it. 

And again, I swear it's not even the Enemy bangalore you need to worry about, it's YOUR OWN TEAMMATE BANGALORE. 
That's why I'm saying this, NO other legend can MESS YOUR OWN TEAM UP like Bangalore can. 
Her ult stuns team, and her smoke ruins their advantages if she's played by a negative IQ player which is like 90% of players, do the math. 
It's barely the case that high tier players use her well even and don't just panic smoke and grief their own team IN PANIC. 

Also the speed boost and overconfidence her kit gives players makes Bangalores run ahead of team on their own, get wrecked because they think they can escape everything with the speed passive and smoke. 
So this is evidence that like Wraith, her kit BREEDS BAD GAMEPLAY habits for players which is toxic to their teammates and griefing and ruining games. 
It's literally the case that I can predict how most teammate bangalores are going to end: 
Ruining end fight because of panic smoke for no reason. 
Run ahead of team due to speed buff and get wrecked due to overconfidence in their own kit. 
The only good bangalores are the ones that basically DON'T USE THEIR KIT unless they REALLY thought it through. 
Which means you will see them basically NOT use their abilities more times than not... this too is a red flag for the kit. 
When the good players playing the character KNOW THEIR OWN KIT IS TROUBLE FOR THEIR OWN TEAM AND HAVE TO REFRAIN FROM USING IT 😂

How many more examples do you need? 
Fix the damn character. 
This game doesn't balance towards making Legends too strong, but Bangalore sticks out like a sore thumb. 
It's not that she's the best either, I think it's just that they don't know how to balance her kit so she just becomes this mess of a character. 

They need a ffffking IQ test before people can even unlock her. 
90's of bangalores don't even realize the smoke is for ENEMY SNIPERS so that you can cross open areas. 
Instead their tiny brains use smoke ON THE OPEN AREA and try to run through the smoke. 
Like imagine this is the player base.... they don't understand the basic logic of this. 
Smoke enemy once: free pass through open. 
Smoke open area: ....braindead.
