Fix to Bangalore and creating a overall healthier experience.

Please rework Bangalore and add smoke grenades in as ground loot, I think we are aware that the Bangalore smoke exploit is being a bit over exploited at this point. Every high ranked team in ranked is using a Bangalore at this point and not only for that reason but just in casual games she is such a cataclysmic nuisance due to the simple fact audio in the game isn’t the best and she throws a gigantic loud ultimate and blocks off all vision in a small area with her smoke that literally all the practice people put in for the run of the mill gun fights and strategy is thrown out of the window and in my opinion far less skill is used in these situations because the information that is usually provided is nowhere to be found and instead everyone is just winging what to do next in a fight because everything went from routine to chaotic with the help of one single legend (Bangalore) yes every legend has unique tool sets that sets them apart however I don’t think appointing the ability to disrupt aim assist (something controller players with specific settings rely so heavily on) [I play very high classic sensitivity so no aim assist completely screws me over and it’s something I’m very comfortable running I am currently masters ranked in BR and I don’t intend on changing my settings anytime soon]. Simply put reworking Bangalore would not only be a quick fix to the smoke grenade exploit it would create a healthier overall experience because everyone would be capable of breaking line of sight and turning off aim assist in smoke wouldn’t any longer be necessary simply because Bangalore wouldn’t be so heavily impacted by it and finally it would be a great way to introduce digital thread AR optics and create another way to get optic skins and or reticles which means more cosmetics to sell and we all know EA loves selling cosmetics.

Thank you for the opportunity to voice my suggestion and please consider it because I believe this would be a huge step in the right direction for the game “Apex Legends”

  • @DesertEDxX This character exists in this configuration since 2 years, no buff/no nerf ... and all of a sudden this is a huge problem for you as an AimAssist Master ? Gimme a break !
  • @DesertEDxX Out of all the legends, I had expected people to be complaining about Gibraltar or Lifeline, not Bangalore. Although her problem is that Maggie outclasses her.

    Wait. So to summarize; you think Bangalore should be reworked because you rely on aim assist to hit targets which you cant do through smoke? Hrm I cant put my finger on exactly what,  but something just sounds wrong with that statement for me as a M+K player =)

    And regarding Bangalores smoke exploit; it seems to me that there are some bugs when it comes to the smoke but as far as I know, its very hard to purposely abuse this since it seems to be caused by certain  angles into and out from the smoke where you actually can see through it.  Ive had encounters with an enemy Bangalores who smokes on top of tme when standing on a slightly elevated position from me, like on a small plateau and I can see right through it and shoot him. Ive also played as Bangalore and smoked right on top of me and I cant see jack but enemies (without Digi threats) seems to be able to see me. 

    And regarding the claim that "every high ranked team in ranked is using a Bangalore"; Bangalore currently has a 4.3 % pick rate for Diamond ranked players and 5.5% among Master- and Predator players... I think that out of all legends, Bangalore is absolutely the most balanced of them all.

  • Im a Bang main. A lot of the game sound effects are to loud. Cryptos alt, Gibbys, Horrizon, their all too loud. The announcements are too loud. Thats warfare! If you cant see your enemy get out from under your rock or be gone from the smoke.
