I did my "first" match with Octane today...

I usually play with a friend in Duos, and as I am happy to let him call the shots in those games then Octane doesn't really offer much to us as a team.  When I play on my own I often choose Octane and I've had some of my best ever games with him because I care a little less about my team mates and a little more about myself in those situations ( because 70 percent of them will instantly quit when downed ) and its really quite liberating how easy it is to have a bit of a fight, retreat and heal, go back . . . escape again, maybe completely disengage from that fight and move on etc.

I maintain my opinion that Octane is a broken legend that screws the balance and should never have been created in the first place.  Sounds cool, people love him  . . but it really isn't balanced in this game.
