Revenant buff is good, but the CLIMB

@LordloshBangHis tactical is definitely not too powerful. It is only effective against 1/3 of the legends. His crouch walk is great, yes, but his climb is way too slow to be effective. Revenant's climb is his only escape ability, but if you play him then you know how easy it is for people to beam you while climbing. As I said in my post, anywhere Revenant can climb, all other legends can follow as long as you are smart with where you climb. Revenant's climb should be on the same level as Pathfinder or Loba so he can reposition QUICKLY. In third person, he is as slow as a slug on the last stretch of his climb and he is so easy to hit. As a console player, this will be even worse with the aim assist that will come when playing with pc players in the upcoming crossplay. Even if the climb isn't made higher (which it should be) then it needs to have no slow at the max height.

Sorry, but this is clearly nonseses.

Your first statement that its effect 1/3 of the legends its completely untrue. Can you explain to us all, which are the 1/3 of the legends that goes unaffected by his tactical ? I`m listening, but i want straight names and a facts, otherwise we are talking nonseses.

As his passive:

He is one of the few legends, that have 2 or more perks to his passive. So sorry to say it, but even the crouch speed is already too good, and:

Revenant can climb walls 2 times as high as a normal Legend [about 10-11 meters]. He can also climb shorter walls 25% faster because it takes longer for his climbing speed to decelerate.

I don`t really don`t get what exactly more you want from his passive, as it already strong enough.

Revenant is not a legend that have escape mechanism and he is not build around that, otherwise his ultimate would be way too OP.

He is a pure anti-hero with his tactical and his rock solid ultimate, which is a big +.

SERPENT_DESCEND, every top players that was going for a 20+ kills to highlighted and put it in youtube go for a legends like Wraith and Pathfinder, mainly because of their ability. Even they get in sticky situation and this situations get them out of trouble.

Abilities are there to give you a unique feeling about your legend, but the problem is they keep rising the power creep and i don`t want this game to became a ability spam fest and ability to take over skills.

What i really think Revanant players should do is to be thankful to Respawn about the job they have done with Revenant and that he is in a very good spot right now.

He will probably be main second main after Bangalore, as his ability kit is just insanely good.

And i will repeat my statement, i`m pretty sure this will be the last buff for him. The best is to stay like that, but he ain`t got no buffs in the future. At best rework of some of his abilities or slight nerfs.

So be happy with him the way he is now.

I`m not playing Revenant, and can`t say from a experience, but from the notes, he can climb twice as much as every other legend, which is a big thing, and he climb the small rocks with 25% boost speed, which is a thing.

And you add to that that he crouch move the same speed as walking, and his passive is pretty damn good.

Again, not many Legends have 2 perks in their passive.

Pathy, Octane, Bangalore, Wraith, Loba, Gibraltar and Caustic they all have 1 perk in their passive, Revenant has 2.

@LordloshBang I have to agree with you when it comes to his Ult being fairly strong now and not wanting this game to be completely dependent on abilities. In terms of pure strength Revenant is good enough but may need more adjustments to make him as valuable as other picks. Honestly the changes to his ult might make him versatile enough to be a worthwhile pick but we'll see

His tactical obviously affects all Legends but is only 1/3 of the Legends care about losing their abilities. A silence Gibraltar is dead while a silenced crypto is mildly annoyed.

The number of passives a Legend has is irrelevant. The strength of a Legend's passive it what matters. Caustic technically has two passives (immune to gas and highlights enemies within gas) but just one of Lifeline's old passive abilities (25% faster item use) outclasses both of Caustic's in my eyes.

@NagTheNaggy  Why is the climbing ability viewed as an escape ability? Since the day Revenant was introduced I've viewed him as the edgy assassin Legend. I use his abilities to sneak up on enemies from routes they never expect and that climb has been fairly good at that.

Again:
Bangalore, Mirage, Octane, Wraith, Pathfinder, Gibraltar, Loba, Bloodhound, Caustic, you make this legends suffer. 

You understand that, this is not 1/3 of the legends, right ?

And we currently have 13 legends, including Revenant. If you get him out of the scheme, cause we are talking about his tactical, its 12.

So you pretty much make 9 out of 12 legends suffer bad.

And you pretty much make Bangalore, Octane, Wraith, Pathy, Gibraltar, Loba, suffer big time, because they heavily rely on their tactical.

Even if we just take the legends that heavily rely on their tactical, aka 6 out of 12, this is half of the cast, not 1/3. 

Add that the sphere is ridiculous and totally blind your opponent, and you even do damage to them ...

His tactical is insanely powerful anti-hero tool. Its remind of a Spectre or Visage in dota. :D

You know what i`m thinking of the moment ? Revenant in a pro usage. We all know that pro teams are camping in close one to another buildings, which make Revenant insanely useful in such situations, for example like this:

You decide to push an enemy team, Revenant is the best tool to allow you to try that without consequences. You ult and all goes on shadow mode, you push a team and you focus to down 1 of the enemies, and you do this in just of the expense of 50 hp, you die you get back alive on safety with full shield and 50 hp.

If you knock someone, you just straight up push again, because you will get all of your armor and finish them.

His ultimate can be extremely useful in many situation, his tactical as well, silence enemy and took them a way a powerful kit, when they need it most.

Pushing a team with an ability to get killed and come back full shield and with 50 hp, while they are all silenced and you have like a second chance is extremely strong tools.

Yeah you don`t have an escape ability with Revenant, but you get a anti-legend ability, a second chance ultimate, and a upper hand in strafing, due to full speed crouch.

I don`t know for what more you can ask ...

I post it here as well:

Revenant is the big winner of this patch.

Its a good video.

When your hit by Revenant tactical, you have less visibility on your screen, which for me is a bad thing and i don`t like that at all, and i think this should be reversed. Such things are bad for the game.

Let me have my 100% view and no one making me see blur stuffs.

Just what i say in my previous comment.

Revenant with his new shine ultimate stuff will be a complete monster in tournaments.

@IAmTheMeddlerThey hype him up in the lore to be one of the most dangerous legends like he should be strong in game. Right now, revenant is in a good spot finally. The only thing I’d say to improve is for him to climb higher on his passive. In the revenant trailer where he had to assassinate loba’s parent’s, he was climbing up skyscrapers, not saying he has to do that in game lol just make him climb a bit higher. it is a noticeable distance when you climb but could’ve been higher imo. I better not hear not one cry about his buff like dude just let him have his shine, he’s been underwhelming since his release for god’s sake.
