Haven't you already suggested this before? It feels familiar.
Removing his stim damage would make him way too powerful without slapping a big cooldown on his tactical. I know other characters have ways to escape a tricky situation, but plenty don't. Why should Octane have an ability that would allow him to escape any situation with no downside for himself? He already has, because of the very low cooldown, a high chance that he can throw down a jump-pad and get away anyway.
I feel like he is in a pretty good place right now, you still see plenty of them around. I personally find most random people I encounter playing him to be irritants though. If they want to stim around early game grabbing loot from the bin that I just opened before running off to open the next one, and the next one before I can get there then he can end up on half health for all I care.
@Piabetic yeah but the thing is.. those that dont have that ability for one have a defensive/supportativce ability/abilities which the dont have to pay for.
Also the jump pad is in no way really helpful when trying to escape a close range fight as enemies will just follow you on it. Pretty sure you see plenty because he's just the most "fun" as he's fast and easy to learn.
At the end of the day I think something between the current and old state would be better as the infinitve stim doesnt help octane players that much with the amount of health you have to pay for it - which in many cases leads to your death when stimming more than once.
And also it's even more annoying for players who try to follow octanes at the same time so I dont see where the nerf really was that much of a good descision imo.

- @ChrysIsChrisis Fair enough, but I just cant see taking the stim damage away is a solution. One idea though might be something like you have in games like BF1 and BF5 with the bayonet charge. You can charge faster for a brief period of time, but then you have to pay that back by then moving slower than normal for a few seconds.
I just really dread the thought of a server full of octanes that can still zip around but have no penalty for doing so. I think it would just break the game.
