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 ground on the frozen tower in Worlds Edge and stay here, people will struggle grenading you bevause of the height and you can just place other shields incase one is destroyed.

Plus her turret is completely op and should have a determine amount of ammo, like 450 so you have 3 chargers. Plus the walls that gives you cover, and that kind of cover is basically giving 2 lifes to someone, has increased damages. And in firing stage I found that you can put 5 walls in total wich is op tbh. It also encourage camping (in a fast fps with cool movements mechanics) because you can for exemple go on top of the building in Fragment that has 2 zips, and just put wall and caustic's traps, and a turret with infinite ammo, GG you can stay here as long as you are in the ring. A deadly combo would br Wattson, Pathfinder, Rampart, because you can take high grounds with the zip and then plemt fences and walls and pylons and turret, basically no one can get you especially if you are in the kind of buildimgs where there is only 2 way to go to the top, just hide behind replaceable walls and, you win.

And tbh grenades don't work that well on Rampart.

Now a solution would be to completely rework Rampart, like completely or remove her from the game, but we would loose our female octane, the kind of characters that always talks to say... Nothing.

Now im just a gold, but I'm playing sometimes with really good players, diamonds, masters, or high plat, and everyone agrees that even for casual this Legend is bad and will kill the essence of the game.

    I feel like gibby is actually a good counter if you find yourself out in the open and a sheila is just lighting you up you can throw down a dome give your teamates time to heal and figure out what to do you can also try throwing a gibby shield over her turret to prevent it from shooting out while you retreat to a longer range to counter sheila. You can kinda do that with bangalore as her smoke can hide you or obscure their vision on shelia. Caustics gas grenade is also a good counter as well seeing as of how they are stationary on the turret throw it get inside and finish them off if the gas didnt kill them. all in all she is actaully balanced you just need to know how to counter her a bunch any grenades seem to work very well espically throwing a bunch of thermitesfollowed by frags and or arcstars.

    @babyaga239 Encountered a team hiding in a Amped Cover fort on a hill, while suppressing with Sheila and two Devotions. Threw Gibby's ult right into their little bunker and laughed at the fleeing campers.

    @EryxApex I actually like this aspect of Apex now. The legends actually mean something. Still hate the "buff" they gave to Lifeline, because she's not unique.

    But all the legends now have a "one up" on the other. So you can change your gameplay/tactics depending on who you got on your squad. I love this aspect greatly.

    Played a lot of Rampart at this point and she’s far from OP. Her passive is fine but her tactical and ultimate are too slow to activate. The activation times should be reduced by half. Everything else about the turret’s operation and mechanics is fine. Same for the charged cover. They just need to deploy faster. 

    Edit: Oh yeah, the icon that shows Sheila’s position on the mini-map need to go. So does the laser sight. The turret is not the end-all-be-all ability in the game by any stretch. It can be dealt with with competent gameplay like everything else. It doesn’t need it’s position broadcast to the while arena.

    I really did not understand the logic of Rampart being half British, Half Indian. Look at other characters, they are from west, america, europe, northern parts of world, africa..Nowhere we found a (Half this, Half that)situation like Rampart. Do you guys even realized, India was a colony of British for 200 years, and that period is a dark phase in our history. Was it really necessary to have an Indian character, but halve her origins and mix it up with colonizers. When Gibby can be a perfect Maori, Bloodhound can be Perfect Norse, What was the reason behind this amalgation?

    .

    I do feel she was introduced in so much hurry..with her introduction trailer no where in depth near crypto or Loba. The Community wants to know.

    .

    .

    You have given reference to Indian Gods and Dress up style in The character skin(the tattoo at forehead which looks like 3rd eye of shiva), but why not directly refer? We are not that intorelant.

    .

    .

    Please do some research before introducing the characters and giving them a background story. India is the country with most efficient and economic rocket launch system, and this is a sweet coincidence. But, on the whole, Rampart lacks the cultural depth which other legends have..If you were thinking Indian community will be able to connect with it, like others did.

    Sorry not sorry, 

    Devs failed here.

    Peace out!
