Rampart Buffs Suggestion

The latest buffs to Rampart are great for a limited time thing... however give it a week and the game will be absolutely unplayable once everyone masters sheila and learns all of the tips tricks and for the longterm it is going to be majorly unhealthy for the game because Rampart already promoted a very unhealthy campy playstyle because of her walls amplifying damage and now that everyone single team has a Rampart... its an entirely different game

I like playing rampart I really do but I feel like she is going to need some major nerfs to sheila... for starters it has too much ammo because one sheila literally lasts you about 2-3 (or more) fights for how strong her ‘’Ultimate’’ is while upholstered and It honesty doesn’t even feel like an ultimate your literally just giving her a care package gun at early, mid, and late stages of the game so she can literally have 3 different guns at any given moment which is ridiculous we are now running into the same issues we had with Seer to where you are basically forced to use one legend because why would you use any other legend and put yourself at a major disadvantage... these changes should of been for a LTM for fun not for the long term... too much ammo... the firing rate needs nerfed... the damage per bullet needs nerfed... limit the amount of times it can be placed into your back pocket, she walks/runs too fast while carrying it, and give it some actual recoil while not being mounted into one spot

one last thing... put ultimate accelerants into the crafting station or something because legends like Wattson or Crypto who actually rely on having ultimate accelerants are basically useless when you have 20 Ramparts hoarding them all to have free care package ultimates and can’t find a single one even with Loba Ults

I agree that her walls should deploy faster and take more damage to make her more situational during fights. Overall, I think the devs should have sped up her entire kit instead of the current buff. Rampart did not need to be reworked, in my opinion. I was hoping for a faster reload time for Sheila, faster wall deployment. and maybe some other minor tweaks.

Her latest buff is extremely worrisome. I've heard complaints already. I tested Rampart's new kit in the firing range and I'm not a fan of her walking around with Sheila. Prior to the update it took some skill to play as Rampart, but now she's a walking tank. I feel like I'm trolling with her now. All I have to do is farm Ultimate Accelerants and use Sheila as much as I like. I don't see Rampart staying this way for very long. 

Rampart needs to be reverted back and simply have her kit sped up as a buff. Trying to nerf and balance Sheila is the wrong direction. No one was complaining about Sheila previously. Ultimate accelerants shouldn't have to be reworked either because of this strange meta. IMO, Rampart simply can't walk around with a mini gun. This can't be the meta.

Whoever is balancing the legends now needs to really think about these decisions beforehand. 

@DaWiz2015I honestly don’t know who is to blame for this nonsence, they were talking about Rampart’s ‘’Spicy Buff’’ back in like Season 8 so I don’t know if it was DZK, Jay, or some other designer but I have absolutely no idea how and why they are letting things like Seer and Rampart’s new buff get past testing and into the live version of the game and think its ok and won’t cause any issues...

I at least like playing rampart so aslong as I’m on Rampart I should be fine but for everyone else... I guess they are out of luck and unable to enjoy playing any of the other legends without being aimbotted by Sheila and they might aswell remove knockdown shields because everyone is just shredding right through them with Sheila in half a second

the reason I want a change to happen to Ultimate accelerants is because Wattson’s fences are completely useless without her ultimate and even with her ultimate her kit is so situational... then Crypto’s EMP is literally all he has so if you don’t have 1-2 Ultimate accelerants on these legends your pretty much useless but everyone is snagging them to get Rampart’s Care Package Ultimate weapon on hot drop or to just keep charging it up as fast and they can leaving none for the legends who actually need them... a simple solution would be to idk... fix Wattson’s damn cooldown so she doesn’t get a single fence node every 30 seconds when she needs TWO nodes for a single fence... without ultimate accelerants she literally has a ONE MINUTE COOLDOWN FOR A SINGLE FENCE THAT IS USELESS EXCEPT AT THE TOP OF A ZIPLINE

not a campy playstyle lets see has a mini gun has walls that increase damage and blocks bullets hmm seems pretty campy to me

I'm changing my tune on the Rampart buff. It isn't what I was expecting. I feel like the current buff should've been a "last resort" option. Rampart's walls is her main focus for me overall. Sheila has always been secondary because it requires timing, position, and patience. Most times during firefights its best to use your regular guns to help your team instead of whipping out Sheila to "pray and spray". After watching some streamers play with Rampart all they want is Sheila, Sheila, Sheila. Some new Rampart players aren't worried about using Rampart defensively and understanding her kit. That's what still worries me the most, my Rampart teammate who wants to use Sheila primarily but gets aped on. Using Sheila isn't easy in every situation. I mained Rampart day 1 so I do ok with Sheila, and now I can focus on getting better since I already understand how to effectively use her kit. 

Maybe the devs see potential where I don't. And since I'm just a fanboy I'm going to fall back. Thanks for the buff!!!
