Octane 12 damage stim

I didn’t realize until recently that octane’s stim did 12 damage, not matter what health you have. This really is a serious nerf and should be reverted, at least a little. People have apparently died from using his stim, which shouldn’t be the case, especially with Revenant’s new ult. For example, you activate the shadow mode but get killed, and there’s someone waiting back at your totem. Using your stim at that moment would instantly kill you, instead of giving you a chance. This isn’t a great thing to have on octane.

    His stim shouldnt even damage you in the first place. His whole persona is a speed demon and the fact other legends do it better without using health isnt right. A lot of legends still need buffs but respawn will just ignore them so we can see the same 3-4 legends every lobby

    @Benchwarmerbrew Well, I’m not sure about it not using health at all, because that would be a bit too powerful, and it also kind of negates his theme of using the stim and then regenning later.

    @Sir_NamedThe stim can’t kill you, 1 hp is as low as it goes using his stim after a self res is honestly overpowerred with a phoenix kit btw ive self resed jumppad with a phoenix and stimmed before and won the game a few times as octane lol, but the only risk is you are literally 1 shot...

    @FaIIenAngeI777 I see. Not sure, but some people have claimed that they have been knocked by his stim, so I don’t know. I think the risk that you are one shot is pretty high, it would be shameful for a full 3 person squad to lose to a one shot octane.

    It might be a bug because that has never happened to me before. Or at least a lie people are saying.

    @Benchwarmerbrew @stop complaint about every single thing and do something else. I mean it is good to see if something needs fixing but not the second it comes out. It’s common freaking scene.

    @Sir_Named I don't understand how they can keep Gibby at his current state and still not buff Octane! He's my favorite legend, but it just doesn't make sense to use him anymore! Also, I think that Mirage should have a fifteen percent (or something like that) movement increase when he pops his ult. 'cause his ult is really for getting outta sticky situations, same with Wraith and her tact. (I don't use Wraith, though, so I really don't care). Anyway, I think if they're gonna keep Gibby and Path in their current state (honestly, I don't mind path as much as Gibby, 'cause at least you gotta know how to use Path) then they should definitely buff underpowered legends to at least be on par w/ Gibby.

    @Benchwarmerbrew Well, Octane's Tact does recharge every two seconds, so a little damage is necessary.
    Also, unrelated, but is anyone having the problem where if they try to heal in the storm it does something like 15-40 damage? I cannot get caught in the storm because I can't heal in the storm at all, or I'll end up killing myself. Also, it doesn't matter if I actually pop the heal, all that matters is that the healing animation starts.

    @Robo_The_Man-BotIt only kills you if your stimming in the ring... or another player shoots you as an outside force is doing damage, the stim itself cannot kill you no matter how many times you use it in a row, if you don’t believe me go to the firing range or do it ingame near the edge somewhere you just absolutely can’t die from it and there used to even be a message at the bottom of the screen saying it won’t kill you
