Octane's Identity Crisis: Why 40% Speed Isn't Enough Anymore (Rework Proposal)

Dear Respawn Balance Team,

With the recent changes to Gibraltar’s mobility (Momentum Boost), Octane’s role as the definitive 'Speed Legend' feels compromised. Octane should be the fastest character in the game, but currently, he lacks the 'oomph' to justify his health sacrifice.

I propose a 'High-Risk, High-Reward' rework for Octane’s Stim:

The Idea: Massive Speed Boost (60% to 80%) tied to a higher health cost (25-30 HP).

The Mechanic: This extreme speed should be tied to a 'Double Stim' or a specific window (e.g., 6 seconds of 'Overdrive' every 20-30 seconds).

The Balance: To keep it fair and address 'OP' concerns, Octane should not be immune to slows (bullets/abilities) during this burst. If he gets hit, he loses the momentum immediately.

This change would restore Octane’s identity. While legends like Gibraltar get 'safe' passive speed, Octane would be the high-skill 'Intercontinental Ballistic Missile'—lightning fast, but extremely fragile.

Let Octane be the daredevil again. Risk it all for the ultimate speed.

Best regards,
