Octane buff idea

So we've often criticised that Octane doesn't take such a team-oriented approach since the jump-pad combined with the speed acceleration means that he is often way too mobile for the other team members (minus Pathfinder, of course) - the jump pad can often be in a bad position that isn't useful.

What if octane's tactical had two buffs within one: One as the usual speed boost, the second being a boost to a teammate. The way this could be applied it so that a second after the speed-up, Octane can aim at a teammate, close and far, to help speed them up. Or, if the player taps L1 (I play on PS4) once or twice, it can specify who to give it too, in case the first choice is ineffective in reality.

What do y'all think? Or, is there an idea that could run off this one? Maybe the two-part tactical is something that could be applied to other legends, but I wanted to add something to Octane since he's very solo oriented.

    @Skenderaxe Interesting idea, although I’m not sure they’ll go for it.
    -How would he apply boost to teammates?
    I guess he could throw his stim, but I’m not sure that would be really what the devs want.
    I don’t know, good idea though.

    @Sir_Named You are getting it wrong, Its not about what the devs want, Its about what us gamers want. This is the main reason why EA is in a such bad place.

    @SkenderaxeI don’t agree with ‘’boosting teammates’’ but for whenever you throw a jumppad and it just is in a bad spot, maybe we could pick up and rethrow the jumppad like a tactical even though its an ultimate ive had jump pads too close to walls or they glitched through a crack in the ground and went under the map so it would be a simple buff but more of a solution

    Honestly I don’t think octane even needs to be buffed that much I love octane just the way he is other than the stem taking away his health, Ive won plenty of games on octane and don’t think hes an underpowerred legend

    @SERPENT_DESCEND Thats how most game works, but thats not the case with Apex Legends

    We have been begging for solos for a year now, but the devs have the final decision on the matter no matter what... they need to learn to give the players what they want in order for the game to be enjoyable

    This does have a fine line though as some players have some pretty far fetched ideas that should not be added to the game, but when you have thousands of topics begging for solos and duos the devs need to let their egos aside and give the players what they want

    @FaIIenAngeI777 You would think that they would have learned from all their past mistakes but nope, They still do the same mistakes over and over again, Honestly at this point I wish apex to be dead (Which it will eventually be if they keep doing the same thing) so the torture of seeing so much wasted potential can finally end.
