I find it ridiculous to get 20 HP taken off for 1 stim this would make Octane almost unplayable when i want to run away from a squad i would survive with only 12 taken off from a stim but 20 is too much. My opinion is to either keep it at 12 HP or make it 20 but the lower HP he has the faster he runs that's just my opinion
@codeleaf00 I can't say that Octane did or didn't deserve his Nerf but Wraith isn't a good comparison. Wraith's passive is supposedly broken but she's supposed to be able to sense danger/traps, go intangible, and provide safe team mobility. She was also the tiniest character in the game giving her an advantage in any 1v1.
Octane provides risky team mobility and running really fast. His abilities are so weak (outside of running) that he's the only Legends I'm cool with being able to escape or chase down other Legends.
My problem with Octane is his buff actually. I think the nerf is fine, as long as he gets a decent buff, but the Legacy update of having his stim cooldown reduced from 4 seconds to 1 is completely useless. His stim lasts more than a second anyway, so there's really no point in having it at a 1 second cooldown. Plus, if the point of this nerf is to reduce the amount of times Octane players will use their stim, then Octane's new buff is even more useless and contradictory, because it only encourages more usage of his stim.
I am going to disagree with this. Maybe a slight compromise is appropriate?
