Re: Revenant - Feedback post buff

@Peri_Longbow_plz Well, Lifeline isn’t really affected by the Revenant silence. Her most important combat mechanic is that she can heal 25% faster and revive faster, which is a passive.
Crypto doesn’t have to find the totem. He just has to position his drone at least in the direction the shadows are, to warn you when/where they are.
My main... point... (pun semi-intended) for hammerpoint is that it will destroy shadow form characters. The P2020 can really shred, and the Mozambique can deal high damage per shot fast. Other high damage weapons will also shred.
Plus, I think you are kind of overrating the silence. If you get silenced, use strafing skills or other movement skills to evade. This is especially true for a character like Wraith, who can’t really rely on her abilities anyway. Her tactical cooldown is 35 seconds, so it’s not something she can spam, and her ult wouldn’t really help in the thick of the fight. Her small hitbox is a big factor, and that isn’t affected by the silence ability.
I do agree Revenant doesn’t need more buffs, he is pretty balanced. (Although it would be nice if he could get a small climbing buff.)

    @Sir_Named Uhh possible mistake there mate.
    Unless they changed it recently, hammer point doesn't affect shadows at all.
    Tested this.
  • @Monhulio Must be a mistake or something, because shadows only have health.
    I.E. since shadows only have health, and the hammerpoint does more damage to health, it should do more damage. Are you sure you tested it right?
  • I think I might be wrong on that. Although it’s kind of wacky if it doesn’t do extra damage to Revenant. Not sure why that is, but it’s weird. 
    Hopefully, I’m right, but I doubt it.

    @Sir_Named Hammer point offing the Revenant Shadows form easy was my first assumption too. They might have changed it recently to work but when I tested it, which was around when rev was first added and everyone jumped on him, his shadows didn't take extra damage. Which I think is because the idea is that its "shadow armour" or the "death protection" guarding them.

    I also figured that the counter to shadows was Hammer Point but all I can see is that the last time I tested it this was not the case. I think its because then suddenly there would be an easy way to shred peoples life pool and gimp the Ultimate early during its life. Which considering the whole 1 hp thing, radius and overall complaints about Revenant and where he was prior, glad they didn't do that.
  • @Monhulio That's fair then.
    RIP me. I'll see if I can test this with a friend, (but it probably won't happen).
  • The buffs for Revenant is fine but the only change I want to see towards him is when he's dead/eliminated/squad wipe. 

    His cloud from his Silence should disappear. It still last for the whole 10 seconds and I had a match where I killed a Revenant, but I get Sentinel for 74 by an Octane and what do you know. My reaction to the Sentinel made me step on an already dead Revenant's Silence which hits me for 11. Funny enough, it knocked me. 

    Shouldn't have happened in the first place.
