Bloodhound the bot character

Im okay with every other character in this game, Horizon and Octane may be a little bit overpowered but at least they are fun characters that contributes to making the game more enjoyable. Bloodhound on the other hand is such a bot character designed to make your game miserable. This is reflected in his pick rate as I understand he has moved up to number 1 or 2 the last couple of seasons and almost every pro team use him. Bloodhounds scan is WAY too good in my opinion, it got insane range when it got buffed and not only does it reveal enemies in your close proximity - you along with your team (!!!) are also able to track them through walls for a couple of seconds after. It's so annoying, every time you try to initiate a fight or try to surprise the enemy he can just press a button and reveal your exact position along with limited wallhacks... So stupid and takes all the game sense out of the equation. 

Respawn may be aware that he is a popular and a strong legend but removing assists on scan is not enough. Assists should have been removed a long time ago anyway, you should not be rewarded KP when you don't do any damage. Crypto is a recon character as well but he does not get assist for enemies he scans with his drone if he doesn't emp them. My solution to bloodhound is a simple nerf to his scan:

  • Scans should only reveal the enemies position at the time of the scan without any tracking ability. It gives you such an advantage in a fight when not only bloodhound but also his teammates can track the enemy through walls.
  • If this somehow is too big of a nerf, which I don't think it is, he could also be nerfed by making scans personal to bloodhound, only he can see the reveal of the scan and track the enemy. He then gets the information and has to communicate it to his teammates. 

Either of the above would make him more balanced, at least in my opinion.

  • @Burnie_00Agree, I honestly don’t mind playing against octane and horizons but I am absolutely sick of bloodhounds every single team has a bloodhound regardless if its casuals, ranked, or ALGS

    i would have to put Gibralter, Bloodhound, Horizon, and Octane as S Tier meaning the current strongest legends in the game

    Gibralter is honestly the strongest legend in the game between his arm shield, bubble shield, fortified, etc I have won 1 v 3s against the final squad numerous times that I would of had no chance if I was playing any other legend in the game

    Octane isn’t too strong, his mobility is just insane when combined with his jump pad and personally I don’t feel like he needs nerfed because at the end of the day players play games to have fun and he is one of the very few ‘’fun’’ legends to play compared to Rampart or Wattson which I personally enjoy playing but they lack the fun factor for most players

    Horizon will be nerfed into the ground in season 9 like caustic so we will just have to wait and see

    Bloodhound is the most picked legend in all game modes, gives your entire team wall hacks, gets a 30% speed boost and scans every 6 seconds in ult, can follow your trail, etc... they are an all around overpowered legend and I would like some power shaved off to see him picked less because its never fun playing against one and honestly I don’t enjoy playing with a bloodhound every other game and would like to see more legend diversity in the game

    note: the devs don’t want to shave power off of bloodhound and only plan to remove his assists in ranked... he is literally the most picked legend in ALL game modes and he/she needs their power shaved off to be more balanced
