Perfect Passives

These are my opinions for better passive replacements for a few of the legends that could use a little upgrade. I put considerable thought in this so any feedback would mean a lot. I hope you like th...

@RedpawsQ There are certain things that I believe Respawn does want to keep equal among all the legends, like the hard drop when you land otherwise octane would just naturally run faster than all the other legends, as for Revenant I really like that passive idea if not better than the one I originally suggested. But as for Crypto's I'm still pushing for the idea of a UAV. It's a simple passive that could help out his team without being left behind as much.

I'm sorry to say, but wall-running wouldn't be OP in this game. i rarely used it in shadow-fall, but I always ran into something or the wall wasn't that wide to run on. Now putting it on path would be a terrible idea. Pathfinder is already growing back in popularity and coming back to his older/previous self, which everyone missed.

I agree with the other two for Crypto and Revenant.

But let me explain which legend makes most sense for wall-running.

Shadows:

-Passively Heals

-Runs 40% faster

-Double Jumps

-Wall Runs

OCTANE:

-Passively Heals

-Runs 40% faster

-Double Jumps

This is why wall-running works with Octane and not Path or any other legend:

Octane is fun but not really viable

Horizon is about to out-do the jump-pad

Path Grapple would have to be literally perfect to do a decent wall-run (it just wouldn't work)

Jump-pad can get Octane high enough to make a good wall-run

Octane's crazy enough to do it (lore) and you know: "robotic legs" (how else would Octane do the speed gauntlet in the lore without wall-running)

Octane's passive isn't enough

Makes Octane more Fun to Play

And if wall running is SO OP! Then I guess you can make Octane glow green, so he's more noticeable! (Or only make him wall-run when stimmed) So at least there is a consequence.

@031567 The way you describe how the passive ability would work better for octane instead of pathfinder actually makes since and I 100% agree. I hope someone from the team at least considers one of these ideas as wouldn't we mention any of these if didn't care for the game!
