@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

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.

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.

  @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.
