(Season 9) Octane Nerf Feedback

Again, just revert his Stim HP recovery, and bring the old one back. That way you solve his main problem with spamming the Q constantly.

I don't find Octane to be very good. Maybe I have bad luck but every single time I have an Octane on my team they just run away at the drop of a hat and abandon their teammates to go and hide for high placement to save points. 

Honestly an indirect way to nerf him is to change how ranked points work.

For example: 

If a teammate dies and you do not grab that teammates banner before it expires you loose 1-2 kills worth of points. Boom, you just fixed alot of the problematic Octane running away and issues with players hiding for placement.

Octane's a good Legend and is annoying because he manages to escape every single time if you even tickle him with a bullet.

They should probably:

- Make Octane's stim speed boost 30% down from 40%, this way it's easier to catch a stim spamming Octane and also encourages Octane players to use stim less to run away and more while in combat

- Give Octane's stim a very slight cooldown increase, maybe to like 5 seconds instead of 2, to reduce stim spamming's strength

- As @TheApexLegendNub said increase his Jump Pad cooldown by a bit

Octane should be an adrenaline seeking daredevil, not a run-away-everytime-he-gets-shot-even-if-the-bullet-missed saddo.

NO NO NO!!! I haven't suffered playing the worst legend for 2 YEARS! Own every skin and heirloom. Just for everyone wanting 2 revert him. In my opinion he doesn't need nerfed at all. But the one coming is at least both a nerf and buff. 2 years I have done nothing, but beg for a buff. Octane use to be complete trash and no one cared, not even the devs. I still played him. While everyone was kicking Octane in the dirt, I prayed for an answer. FINALLY 2 YEARS LATER and your all still trying to kick Octane in the dirt. All the other legends had years to be great, but no one can give Octane a few months before he's considered op. Octane has gone from burning trash to actually decent and an actual fast moving daredevil "like he's suppose to be".

Wraith shouldn't even move 30% faster, be invincible for 6 secs. But you guys want to nerf Octane? Who moves 40% (use to be 30) for 6 Secs. WITH NO INVINCIBILITY!

Unless you:

1. Want to nerf Wraith, Path, and Horizon to dust

2. Utterly hate Octane and have no respect for the OG players who have waited years

Then go right ahead. You're just doing more harm than good.

Octane is really strong right now. He either needs a nerf to his jump pad or buff/add a new character that can truly counter him. He ultimate has too quick of a recharge and its ability to travel to high places ALMOST SILENTLY is too good. I play a lot of ranked and octane just completely shreds anyone that has high ground with a quick, silent way to flank. Wattson is probably one of the only few counters but even then, octane can just jump over her fences. Ultimately, something needs to change in order to balance this huge op ability to take height quickly because it is just way to silent and not very noticeable to be fair. 

I agree with the Octane player comment. He is 100% spot on.

Let Octane player base have their time. They deserve to be great for a while.

Again the only thing that he maybe needing is to revert the stim regeneration. And he is 100% balanced.

His jump pad is perfectly fine.

@LordloshBangOkay nerfing the passive or stim damage increase I'm okay with; but if his jump-pad or stim speed is nerfed. So help me. I'm not going back to dirt. Check my profile; you'll see dozens of feedback and buff ideas on Octane FOR YEARS.

In my best opinion: buff Rev and Wattson and give Octane the ONE SINGLE NERF he's getting in S9. Besides that don't make him trash again. Please.

Thxs 4 agreeing.

Buddy i`m with you. I was Octane main for a period of time, but i totally give up on him at one point, cause it wasn`t even funny. The jump pad was just making you a static duck in the air. His speed boost was so-so, but lacks compare to other, and his passive was there to just reg your tactical, your tactical pretty much take 2 ability, and the third one was a free kill for the enemy. Add on top of that his hitbox is big, and his head was twice as big, and you shoot in the air, and hit his head, cause his head hitbox was totally broken.

I can`t count the million times where i`m 100% behind cover, and can`t see a thing and they headshooted me to death.

Octane was pretty much garbage from the very beginning of its introduction, till this season.

He deserve to stay at A tier for way longer.

Again if he needs to be touched, just nerf his passive regeneration. His stim is fine. They should just reduce his passive - Swift Mend to 1.0 health reg. per second and he is perfect.

This will reduce the Q spammers, cause that will hurt them way more. It takes 12 health for Stim, and you will need 12 seconds to get that health back. Keep spamming his Stim and you will make yourself in a disadvantage.
