Octane's Buff and Patching

I main octane and I do alright, but his buffs did nothing for team utility...buffing his jumppad still allows nothing special. Especially when facing good players that can shoot you out of the sky. ...

@KoribanSithLord1 The ult buff could work.
The passives, not really. All 3 are support abilities and wouldn’t really fit Octane as an attack/assault character.
The Adrenaline Aura is an okay idea, but it kind of sounds really strong and also not fit Octane as a character.

    @Sir_Named But wraith can get a portal to escape out of bad situations or place near a downed player for a rez or used for attack? Doesn't this seem like a support/attack ability also?

    A speed buff to teamates upon stim would be decent to have your whole team push into a fight. Seems very attack based to me.

    Octane needs something else for the team, the speed aura may not be it. The idea needs a lot of tweaking.

    But somethings gotta give.

      @KoribanSithLord1 Wraith’s abilities are for repositioning, so she could be used for support, but isn’t meant to be a support.

      Octane does need something for the team, but I don’t think a “speed aura” is it.

        @Sir_Named her ult still is used for support and attacking. I can't even keep track how many times someones set a portal near me for rezzing for me to crawl through or helped the squad get out of a bad situation. Like you said to reposition. She is an assault character so having some support type of ability isn't a bad thing (Mirage, Revenant, & Bangalore, have a support type of tactical/passive if used a certain way) it shouldn't rule out all abilities just because the ability that may come, can be used as a support type.

        Relooking at what i wrote about octanes speed aura was something i came up with on the fly and it would be OP since octane can stim over and over again.

        Octane in the end needs something else. The ult change i suggested may not be good enough, but i think it's a step in the right direction.

        Since some characters have a few passives, octane should get something else to help bring him up the tier list and give him the team utility they were saying, but never gave him.

        Suggestions are by all means welcome 🙏
