Revenant NEEDS His Original Kit Back!

I was recently discussing this issue in General Discussions, and thought i'd bring the highlighted points here because Revenant needs his original kit back (Silence tactical, and Totem ultimate). 

Practical jokes Don't Last This Long! 

I also came upon my Very First Solo Win with Revenant (video attached below - only a 1.44min short vid), and my goodness, i miss this Revenant. 

Every Apex player has a different play style. Some rush into fights, some defend and camp, some utilize recon... and some, like myself, require a good strategy before a push (as you'll see in my game play attached below). Revenant's Original kit resonated with that play style. 

His current abilities add nothing new to the game when compared to his old ones.

He's relatively loud for an agile assassin Simulacrum.

His shadow jump is good... when it works, but definitely leaves you as an easy target waiting for it to load or if you've used it already due to it's long cool-down time. incorporating something like Ash's dash (double tapping the designated jump button) while maintaining Revenant's original skills would help the Legend. re-working Revenant has actually hurt this Legend drastically.

For instance: if someone has the drop, fighting could get you knocked, and waiting for the jump to charge could also get you knocked, and now, a great solo and team Legend has been reduced to being a burden on the team. it's often a choice now when things get hot: Fight (try) or hold Tactical for Flight (hopefully). 

We also need to take into account that Revenant does have a big hit box. 

His ultimate is rarely used because it's not a good ultimate... using it is like i took off my armor with how fast i get knocked when i activate it. it's as if i'm Shadow Revenant without the totem to return to. 

No Legend in the history of Apex has been changed this drastically beyond recognition.

Lifeline received tons of changes but her identity and her role as a combat medic held up. Octane received a lot of changes but all his original abilities still exist at an improved rate. Every other legend in the game kept their identity except Revenant. 

In addition, this rework of Revenant has caused me to endure a barrage of insults for adopting a new play style that fits Revenant's current kit, causing me to lose a lot of confidence in my performance. i start thinking the things people say about me over the mic are true. 

I know the remedy is to pick a different Legend, but I Like Revenant.

Even without negative commentary from other players, i feel ashamed for underperforming. i'm tired of always running from fights i used to push. i'm tired of reacting out of fear rather than enjoying the thrill of the game.

Please let Revenant be Fun again, and bring back his original kit.

With that being said, thanks for making an overall cool game.

Cheers :)
