Revenant - Feedback post buff
Ever since the update dropped, Revenant seems to appear more commonly. Yeah, even in my own teams the likelihood of a Revenant appearing is high. Previously, I found him useful. Now I find him manda...
Forum Discussion
@SERPENT_DESCEND Balance isn't just about a character being awesome to play, but also awesome to play against. Keyword counterplay. Besides, feedback to various underpowered legends has been given in masses, if you can't see those and instead complain about a single thread such as this, learn how a Forum works. Thank you.
@Peri_Longbow_plz Well, you don’t have to have fun playing against a character.
Playing against a Caustic or Wattson camping in a house isn’t very fun. But that’s how it is.
Revenant isn’t really mandatory either. I like playing him, and I think a lot of other people just like playing him. His ultimate is easy to use and fun.

I think Revenant is now better and can be classified as a B tier legend.
Two main problems left and needs fixing:
I still believe his hitbox is too big and if they don't want to change the hitbox, they should give him something like Fortified.
Other than hitbox, there is a big problem with his silent: You (as Revenant) cannot see through it and it completely blocks your view; I tried to see the positive side and consider it as a good blocking spot for healing, etc, but to be honest, silent is designed to disable enemies in close range fights, and it seriously stop you from aiming properly. Maybe they should give him an ability like caustic to see enemies effected by his silent a bit clearly.
- @Alphabets Or just decrease the visual intensity of it to make it a bit more translucent. Doesn't have to suddenly add threat detection necessarily.
@AlphabetsHow about silenced enemies are revealed for 10 seconds, This won't just solve the problem of not seeing through the device (although to be honest it was never a problem for me) But it would also make silenced enemies easier to kill by Revenant and his teammates.
- @Sir_Named The point of any legend should be that it can be countered.
A character should be awesome to play. But there also should be downsides to it. So far all I'm seeing across the Feedback part of this Forum is 'how to make Revenant even more awesome' - Yeah, all nice and stuff. But I can almost assure you that the mindset of several people is to "Not loose" or "To have an almighty character" - Because people want to keep improving him beyond what he's already capable of.
The point of my favorite character shouldn't be to be extremely powerful and awesome. He should be one of many options. One that can be good, but one that also has counters. Yeah, I like crypto a lot. Yet I don't go ahead and say how much I'd love his drone to shoot lasers because his tactical isn't all that great compared to some others.
So far, Revenant doesn't have much counters. But he's a counter to everything, as every legend is affected by his ability. There is no legend that can as example cleanse this effect, or take a buff from it. Or that can counter it directly. Nor is there a legend that can as example just detect his totem? The last time I used Bloodhound, I wasn't able to see it despite it being there.
That's the whole point of counterplay.@Peri_Longbow_plzShadow forms are weak. When someone respawns at the totem, they are weaker.
Caustic can counter Revenant.
Pathfinder can kind of counter Revenant. (The zip line for getting outside the totems aoe, and then his grapple for actually reaching the totem.)
Gibby’s dome shield is still immune to the silence.
Passives aren’t blocked if you get hit with silence.
Crypto can slap his drone down to keep tabs on where the shadows are coming in, as soon as they show just melt them.
Not to mention that Revenant is very vulnerable to hammer point weapons. No other legend is weak to a certain weapon.Plus, using sone kind of area denial ability is very good on the totem. (Caustic, Gibby, Bangalore, etc.)
Revenant is just good for strategic plays. He isn’t especially good in 1v1s, but he helps the team a lot.
There are ways to counter him, you just have to think of them and remember that shadow forms only have 100 health, can’t heal, and are limited to a certain area.- @Sir_Named Caustic needs to find the totem first and prep it with the caustic gas trap. First issue. Pathfinder is not a direct counter, mobility is a counter and applies to most legends who can move fast. Gibraltar's dome shield counters everything, also comes with the downside of being a sitting duck, and what do we learn in the tutorial? A standing target is a dead target. Most passives are useless. *cough* Wattson *cough* Wraith. Crypto drone, same problem, find the totem first. In the time you position your drone, they likely found you already. What then? Dead, that's what you are. Hammerpoint weapons are strong against everything that only has health, likelihood of you only having health after fighting a revenant is high. Likely - just like him - you'll charge shields first like every individual with a bit of brain does. Or you go on a search while he takes his time healing. Next fight surely will be in your favor.
