Mirage is less than useless in high ranks
I'm giving up on this legend.
By far one of the most interesting legends, in terms of playstyle and characteristics, is cast to the side and is basically useless in ranked games.
While he has been improved, the mark just hasn't been met. He is good, but he's no where near the meta.
Mirage needs some more quality of life updates to make him be amongst the rest in ranked.
For starters:
His decoys need to be transparent and the blue trail needs to be removed
(I've suggested this years ago and nothing has been done)
Lets be real - There is already enough clutter when Mirage uses his ultimate. if you use his ultimate in a room of enemies you can lose the enemies in your sea of decoys. not only that but your team mates cannot see through them either. The enemies probably have the clearest vision when it comes to his ultimate because they cant see the blue trail. please remove it!
My team mates have scolded me saying they cant see the enemies because my decoys are in the way so many times. instead of distracting enemies, im distracting team mates. its bad character design. its useless.
His reviving passive needs to be quieter
There is no point in being invisible if so many people in range can hear you. Everyone in high ranks can hear EVERYTHING it doesn't take much for them to sound them out, realise he's invisible and shoot in their direction until you hear hitmakers. Lifeline is able to Res and keep fighting, Gibby can Res quicker in his bubble. Invisibility doesn't count if you can be heard because then people with ears know exactly where you are. also with legends like Seer, bloodhound and a digital threat you are just not invisible anyways.
If your team mate is downed at range and you start to pick them up straight away, legends like ashe, pathfinder and octane are already on you (With ears) they know exactly where you are and trying to revive.
I remember as Cartoonhow called Xiaolin Showdown. Where one character is studying, and he hears breathing next to him and punches the air to hit one of his friends under an invisibility cloak. He asks "how did you know I was there?" To which he replies "It's the shroud of Shadows not the shroud of silence, you breath with your mouth I can hear you!" Which is exactly how it goes for mirage and his passive.
I'm not saying it should be dead silent but it should have a reduced audio range and can even have different voice lines of mirage whispering which can be nice.
His markers on enemies that get bamboozled get in the way
That white marker that pops up every time your decoy gets shot gets in the way of hip firing an enemy that you are already looking at.
With all these legends that reveal positions for 2-6 seconds why hasn't this been given to mirage? Seer, Bloodhound, Fuse, Mad Maggie, heck even Valkyrie can highlight enemies when she's flying. And now Vantage, How and why has this not been given to mirage to punish people for shooting his decoys. Its a no brainer and not that huge of a buff. Maybe this should only be for mirage, not his team mates but could be useful in ranked at higher levels.
He doesn't need to say "YOU JUST GOT BAMBOOZLED" after every decoy gets shot
Its annoying ☹️
Anyways let me know what you think
