Bangalore smokes

Why was it necessary to nerf bang smokes so hard? She became hella lot weaker since her tactical is almost useless now that you can see through it very easily. I thought bang was on a good spot, not too strong, not too weak.

  • @Armaio when did they get nerfed? I didn't even realise they had been. I like Bangalore but I think her smoke can be more counter productive sometimes.

    Let's say you or a Bangalore on your team throws a smoke, and the enemy team have a bloodhound, or Digi threats, youve just caused your own death.

    I'd like to see her smoke a bit thicker, and enemy scans to not be effective in the smoke radius or through it. Think it would be a bit far to say enemy Digi threats not work also 😂.

    Chaos theory patch. They reduced the thickness very much, especially if you stand in bang smokes, you can see out hella lot easier. Before it was really a proper smoke and you couldn't see through it at all.

  • The smoke is just a joke now, except enemies are far enough. Bangalore was quite balanced char. Now the change is quite STUPID. the idea seems from nowhere.

  • I didn`t even understand she was nerfed, but yeah i find it strange that people are beaming me way more through the smoke now, compare to back.

    I play just for a few days, somewhere when the new season come.

    This is just another nail on the coffin and shows you how incompetent their team is.

    Tho saying that, this was not an intentional change. They were "doing some improvement to X thing and messed this up". :D

    This just speaks highly of them. :D

  • @Armaio So that's what it was! It felt like she was even more useless than before!

    I love Bang a lot, but her smokes are the worst thing in the world when you're playing on her team, they just kill you 99.9% of the time, and when you're playing Bang her smokes are just too pathetic. They don't hide you at all, they barely even obscure you anymore. And if you happen to be near the ring forget about it, the smoke just ends up highlighting you like a free digital threat.

    I think they should at the very least remove the nerf - her smokes just plain don't function most games now. At least 70% of the time you can completely see her through them, sometimes it practically highlights her...
