Re: So, still no buff for Maggie huh?

@heme725 They made a statement about newcastle saying they want to release characters strong to shake up the meta, get them a lot of play, and nerf them if needed.

Maggie has been underwhelming, very similar to when Fuse was released. And he needed a couple buffs to get him to be usable in any competitive way. And there's no way you can say shes anywhere near as strong as Fuse is. Her pick rate is low.

Imo, she just needs 3 things:
1. Her cooldowns reduces, especially for the riot drill
2. When using a scope, 2x, 3x, whatever, you need to be able to see where the drill is aiming (it falls off below the sights and is impossible to be accurate with)
3. Her Ult is clunky, sometimes you throw it, it bounces twice and then all of a sudden just blows up out for no reason

Now. If she got a little buff she'd be a really fun and more useful character

@CocoaHyena I'm getting those same vibes of vantage, after you get a basic understanding of how vantage's sniper works, its not at all scary, all you have to do is avoid line of sight (you can easilly see the laser) when you get hit by the sniper once

and playing as vantage, hitting shots with the sniper is rather difficult not to mention there is cover everywhere providing players too many possibilities to evade your, already difficult to land mediocre damage sniper shots, not sure why all the later legends have been extremely weak, maybe because they don't want to have another seer release and they'd rather keep the new legends in a poor state rather than being required to hotfix overpowered new legends.
I just hope they radically improve vantage's sniper to 100 damage fixed with a 25% damage amp, its totally not a dangerous weapon right now, its basically a sentinel that deal longbow damage. compare that to rampart's ultimate gun lmao

oh yeah and a side note, its funny how the devs want to nerf the charge rifle, while its the only long range sniper with a punch, the longbow and sentinel are all complete jokes, I'd even say that the 3030 and scout seriously are superior snipers.

@PirataLeoparda Was it even a "buff"? The riot drill speed is an improvement as now you can aim better with it ADS. The ult change is okay, you can travel further WHEN you happen to be in open space. But her riot drill cooldown still needs to be reduced to make her more viable.

@CocoaHyena yeah 2 drills or lower cooldown - should work fine!
