Rampart Feedback
So the problem with rampart is that she is here to encourage camping, and by vamping I mean that she can just stay at one place camping forever and putting walls. For exemple you van take the high gr...

Was gonna start my own thread but will post here.
I think Rampart is NOT OP. Here's why:
1. Her shields are easily destroyed
2. She takes forever to setup
3. Her minigun is everything but accurate
4. Her passive is pointless unless you are using an LMG
Here are my thoughts on changes. I like a lot of what @Monhulio suggests, with a few of my own.
Improvements:
1. Her shields:
- I like the idea of "2" setups. Her base should be really fast, then the amp should be slower
- Make her amp part a 2 way thing. Shooting out amps the bullets, shooting in reduces damage by like 70 percent. But also improve the health of the shield, keeps it from getting damaged too soon.
- Only allow 3 shields deployed. Period. Kind of like how caustic only can have 6 traps set. However, this would be needed if the above points are added, that way its not "too camper like"
- I would like her to have shields that support quick setup and leave not setup and camp
2. Her minigun is pointless at range. What I would like to see is the zoom slow down the rate of fire, but increase the accuracy to like 100%. I was shooting zoomed in and almost all my bullets were outside of that circle - why even have the circle?
3. Make her fast reload work for all the weapons
@SolitaryMassacre
Taking less damage from other direction of amp is bad idea because it just encourages people to all aim for you all at once and still hit you for damage. Then suddenly when shield breaks your already super weak.
The number of shields is actually fine, because unless they get there early to setup, you rarely see more than 3 or the other amped ones are already broken from you firing at them. Having 5 lets you fully surround yourself and team technically speaking, to cover multiple angles. Theres no benefit for placing them in front of each other as amped cover shots break when stacked at present unless its just stacking walls after the previous shield got broken.
Her minigun really is like a giant threat that gets more acccurate the longer you fire. It's not a sniper, its a wheel of death that tells enemies not to leave cover or approach lest they get shredded. As long as the minigun is on higher ground than enemies with low to no cover they are literally sitting ducks.
Not sure i want her faster reload to work for all weapons. That invites no reload time RE-45 plays and fast sniping reloads that could get dicey.
At present, 3 wins with her so far, 104 kills last i checked. Getting used to LMG recoil and firing accuracy is super rough.

- @Monhulio I think taking less damage would keep the balance of "camping". Yes you can take more damage overall, but the damage is greatly reduced, so the enemy would be keeping themselves exposed to get slaughtered (hopefully) by the person behind the shield.
The number of shields would be needed if they greatly increase the speed for which you can throw down your shields. That is all. Currently yes its fine, but I still can't even get one shield down during a fire fight.
I have yet to kill anyone with the minigun. I hate unaccurate guns. I haven't fired long enough to see the accuracy increase. Which, on that note, the mag should be limited so it doesn't become OP, which is also why I would love to see it become more accurate with a slower fire rate. I just went into firing range and played with it some more and it does get accurate the longer you shoot. My problem was I was trying to hit someone in a window and I have a habit of not shooting unless I can see them, so they kept popping out and I would shoot, only to have my bullets go everywhere. I guess this helps keep it from being OP too.
As far as faster reloads on all weapons - clearly some weapons will have different speed percentages. However, RE-45 would actually become useful lol
