Re: Mad Maggie's Ultimate is Comically Weak

@LetMeVsBotsThe speed stim is like Bangalore's passive, and less than Octane's tactical stim (other than teammates can use it.). Way less than a jump pad, if the idea is to chase down enemies.

Not to mention the potential backfire that enemies can also use the little speed bumps.

It's really an underwhelming Ultimate which seems to be echoed by her relatively low pick rate - I only played half a dozen matches right after launch, for the first time ever my squadmates weren't interested in the new legend and I was able to pick Maggie every time.

@Gator762FMJ Don't get me wrong I hated Maggie from the moment they announced her. I'm only saying that a bomb ult that chases people would be a bad addition and I assumed it was that before it dropped. MM doubles down on so many issues the devs have admitted are problems.

What is totally broken about this is it allows your enemies to use the speed buff also. It should slow them if they step across it not allow them to boost also

@xSmO🤭Thx Eh most Legend abilities that temporarily or permanently change the map can be used by anyone. Lifeline/Rampart/Gibraltar/etc... tactical as well as Ults of Pathfinder/Wattson/Loba and so on. It would be weird if enemies COULDN'T use them.
@Gator762FMJ Her Ultimate also bounces back anyone hit by it. It isn't a game changer but she's obviously a character designed to make space and disrupt enemy teams rather than outright damage them. A seemingly well balanced mid-tier Legend. Not too strong not too weak but fun and interesting to use.
