Delete Bangalore. And please devs don't pretend you're doing something. And stop write novel under nerf & buff patch notes.

@iShurex Why Bangalore? Bangalore is probably the most balanced legend in the game... I hate when my Bangalore teammate smokes everything so you can’t see a thing during a gunfight but other than that Bangalore is fine

@iShurex I don't know about deleting bangalore, but doing something about smoking out your teamates would be great. I've died so many times because a random bang has smoked me out in a firefight and the enemy could either see me or had a digi threat

@iShurex Not sure if you tried to tag me or if you're actually talking with yourself, but here is my response to what you said.Tactical: Especially when paired with Digital Threat or Bloodhound, her smoke is actually very powerful. But even if you have neither, if you manage to get around a corner with some distance between you and a chasing squad, you can just pop a smoke bomb into a random direction and hide in a convenient corner. 9 out of 10 people will run through the smoke, giving you a free escape card.Ulti: Can be argued about. What it does good is making people run. And that's what matters. No one wants to receive semi-stun and damage.Passive: Powerful if you actually know how to utilize it. Speed is key in a game like this. And if you have a free speed-card every few seconds, what prevents you from going on and out of combat periodically? Hence, mobility is also given for combat and chase related situations.

@Balladalidila Bangalore is a beginner legend. She's provided alongside with Gibraltar, Bloodhound, Pathfinder, Wraith and Lifeline. All 5 have abilities which are defined for their easy-to-use but beneficial advantage. Bangalore doesn't fit in that branch. Bangalore is for the new player a thorn. I remember that both I and two of my friends who started this game simultaneously said she's the worst pick of the 6 we had available. I went with Bloodhound, my friends went with Lifeline and Gibraltar.Which is also the reason why no one but professionals use her. No matter what Bangalore I face against, she's usually played by a very skilled player who can wipe my entire squad singlehandedly.

A lot of people use Bangalore solely for the mobility. You get a speed boost when you actually need it, as far as I can see it doesn't have a cooldown attached to it (Or just a very short one) and the speed is sufficient to get out of any danger relatively quickly. The smoke is a nice addition to confuse enemies when they case you. Pop a smoke bomb somewhere and people will run into it and you have a free escape card. Works every time.

I don't think they need to remove Bangalore, if any I know some that probably deserve it more. Although, non-strategic smoking mid-fight can be quite a detriment to your own team so I get that much but still she is far from broken. She's easily countered by bloodhound and such and her ult is easily avoided, compared to valk's ability or Gib's ult (e.t.c.)

@Peri_Longbow_plzAlso, many higher level players try to get shot at just to gain that brief boost in speed, when rotating, escaping or simply pushing etc. I do agree it is annoying but she requires more thought than a button press.

Thats the beauty of this game...In my opinion, abilities in this game SHOULD be a double-edged blade, i.e beneficial in the hands of a skilled player but a hazard in the hands of a naaab =) I bad Bangalore will spam Q in the middle of the fight because he panics whereas a good Bangalore will put them strategically to cover angels or to cover escapes etc =)
But on topic, I think Bangalore is quite balanced. She has 6.5% overall pick (7/17 most popular) rate and 3.9% (9/17) pick rate in Master/predator so its hard to argue she is either OP or unviable.
