Wattson: I think those sound pretty solid actually
Loba: They sound good but the only one I see beeing truely helpful is the last one
Fuse: I think Fuses ult could use some love too
Rampart: I don't agree with nearly any of those changes but this is mainly because I have my own vision where Rampart should be going, so take it with a grain of salt.
Now as a Rampart player Here are my thoughts on some changes, these changes involve Wattson a little too
Overall great post and got me thinking about Fuse with the variable distance grenade throwing
rampart ultimate is - by far - the strongest weapon in the entire game.
you can not buff sheila. no way.
i played rampart a lot lately and i have to sa that she can be pretty strong tbh.
her biggest problem is that most people do not want to play defensively.
its kinda similar to the octance problem. its very hard to play her with randoms.
octance is jsut a meme legend in publics, as all of them q into 1vs3 while the team can not keep up with his speed.
while rampart thrives at setting up and pressure the enemy from afar, the random teammates will simply charge into the fight without giving rampart the time to set up....
honestly: 170/400 dmg shield is pretty solid. 20% increased dmg also is... but people have to use it.
with the grenade damage buff for the covers, those things are extremely solid.
once the first one is up, you can place the 2nd directly behind an it will build up without any problems. there is no way any player shoots through 400 dmg casually...
Wattson: is still very strong in high level play yeah she’s a joke in public servers where you can’t coordinate with teammates it’s tough but if you buff her she will be too OP. But since she’s a shield expert lower her evo thresholds by 25 percent.
Loba: should become intangible for up 1.5 seconds as soon tactical button is pressed to give you a chance to aim your bracelet under duress. Also intangible (can’t attack or hurt) once reaching her destination for 1.5 seconds. Flight path of bracelet should still be visible at beginning but become less visible the further it flies. To compensate for increasing its power up the cool down a bit. Her tactical should be to exit a fight or reposition herself once per fight but she should be able to do reliably. Also as a thief she should have 2 increased inventory slots by default. Her Ult is fine
Fuse: Give the knuckle cluster 2 charges but up its cool down a bit. Also have some smoke with the knuckle clusters. Nothing like Bangalore’s but it should feel slightly disorienting to your opponent or feel like they are under pressure. Right now it’s like...fire crackers
morherlodes cool down is pretty quick so you can’t increase its power too much. I think the area of effect can be widened some. I like the fact it’s a donut it separates it from Gibbys ult. I do think it should be possible to use it reliably indoors tho. Maybe a user controlled mode switch for just a single splash type attack suited for indoors and the typical motherlode attack for outdoors
Rampart: she’s an engineer and tinkerer no reason to limit her increased bullet capacity to just LMGs. She should have that across all weapons, or maybe just automatics (SMGs, ARs, LMGs, + RE45)
decreased item cost in the replicators because of her engineering background.
Im inclined to say she can use replicator resources at any time to turn any hop up into another of the same tier (gold to gold or purple to purple) for example if I’m carrying a skull piercer but come across a devotion I can consume replicator resources and then the skullpiercer into a turbocharger. Same idea with a hammer point into a QuickDraw and vice versa
rampart walls and ult are fine she just needs to have a bit more power generally because fights in apex can be so spontaneous and unpredictable. Giving her a bit more bullets or easier hop up accessibility solves that problem.
