Bangalor's Ultimate is very bad
I cannot remember the last time I got hit by, or got a hit WITH Bangalore's ultimate
It is, in every way, inferior to Gibraltar's mortar strike
The BIGGEST issue is you get WAY to much warning regarding it
Gibraltar's you get an audio que, and then immediate pain
Bangalore, you hear and see them drop, and then have a good chunk of time to get out of the way
I definitely think her ultimate needs some tweaking to ACTUALLY be threatening
- The point of Bangalore's ult is to do exactly what you describe, to get the enemy to "get out of the way" well, mostly the "get out" part.
For me, Bangalore is a character that shines the brightest when your team is at a disadvantage in a fight, either being that the enemy team has a better position than you, or that they are just flat out outgunning your squad.
Here is what I mostly use Bangalore's ult for :
Offensive :
- Get the enemy squad to get out of cover, like rocks, which may allow you to melt down enemies if they re-appear out in the open.
Defensive :
- If an enemy squad starts a fight with you and they have a better position, you may use her ult to pause most gunfights and have your squad reposition, and if you are lucky, the enemy may reposition to a position where YOU have an advantage.
- If your squad is just plain out losing a gunfight, you can use your ult as a "reset" button, you can even combine it with smokescreens to convince the enemy to not push you, this may give your squad some time to pop some heals and start the fight over or just run away.
With that said, the rest of Bangalore's kit is a jack of all trades, and her passive is 10/10 for gunfights.
And sure, Gibraltar's ult has killing potential, but might as well have, his T I T A N I C hitbox doesn't really help in gunfights, you might as well hit him with an entire R-99 clip from 500m away and you won't miss a single bullet.
