Bangalore needs a buff!!

I think Bangalore needs a buff, she isn't really usable.

Compared to other legends she's a piece of garbage...

Her passive is fine but her tactical and ultimate abilitys are awful.

Because of the high use of Bloodhounds due to his buff

and because of the high droprate of digital scopes, Bangalores Smoke is useless.

The ultimate ability isn't that great...

Until her bombs exploded every enemy has gotten out of range and you do no damage.

Sometimes you can use her ability to block enemys rotating in your direction but that's it...

Here are some ideas to buff Bangalore:

Tactical Buff:

- Bangalore should be able to see through her own smoke (like Caustic)

- Bangalores smoke should do more damage on enemys (maybe 20 instead of 10)

Ultimate Buff:

- Bangalores bombs should explode much faster or she should decide when the bombs explode

- The bombs should do more damage (maybe 60 - 70 instead of 40)

Passive Buff (not  necessary):

- Bangalores speed boost could be faster

Please keep in mind that not all of this listed buff ideas are necessary, it's enough if one or two of this Buff ideas are implemented. 

Thank you for reading 🙂

    @Flixvaderr Another idea for a tactical buff is that all teammates get a speed boost as soon as Bangalore gets double time

    Nope to all of that.  Bangalore has been the most balanced legend since the game came out.

    Her ultimate isn't meant for dealing damage.  As you said, all enemies run out of it before ir explodes.  No other legend can force an entire team(s) out of an area like Bang can.

    Digital threats are for smoke and are semi rare.  Absolutely no reason she should see through it by default.  That would be game breaking with smoke everywhere and Bangalores destroying anyone caught inside smoke.

    @Pallo420but just look at legends like Caustic, Bloodhound, Lifeline and Wraith they all are too strong so why should Bangalore and the other legends not be this strong?

    I barely see anyone use Bangalore.

    Why you may ask? Because she is useless as soon as the enemys have a Bloodhound or digi threats.

    For example:

    if you put smoke to revive an enemy mid fight you can ONLY HOPE that the enemy doesn't have digi threat or Bloodhound

    I think Bangs smokes can be a bit better but if they are able to block the scans of Blood and/or the thermal sights it would drop the usability of them. Her Ult is not really made for direct damage dealing. The best way to use her Ult is as enemy squad control/area of denial. I do think there should be some changes to her Ult. Maybe changing a one time dmg pop maybe it can be a slower dmg over time effect similar to the Fire Grenades but obviously not as powerful. Lasting as long or longer than the original Ult to keep the same time. The slow effect can be lowered or removed completely.
