(Season 9) Octane Nerf Feedback
I’m just going to skip straight to the point... Octane’s Stim is not the problem, the problem is how often he can receive his jump pad because its at the same cool down as it was before the recent bu...

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.
- @CompleatBeet You must fight some weird Octane players, because I'm all about going head first into combat.
And 2nd of all: are u crazy? You want to just revert Octane to his original self? Do you even know how long he's been trash?
Octane is all about spamming at times; he's addicted to it.
Either way; just read previous post on this topic; you'll see my point.Stim spamming is just too strong for me. When the map is on KC I usually play Revenant so I have no issue with Octane because I can just silence him, but on the other two maps where Rev is a lot weaker and I don't play him stim spamming genuinely gets on my nerves.
