(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 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.
- @LordloshBang Exactly; nothing is wrong with Octane just all the new and bad players go 4 Octane because he's easy to learn, BUT HARD TO MASTER. And then people who can't shoot straight blame Octane (Because his hitbox isn't broken anymore).
Wraith: Great till Season 5
Octane: Terrible until Seasons 5/7/8
Bad Players: Omg Octane's op; he's like so fast...
Me: <Flashbacks when literally any other movement legends were better> (Path, Wraith, Horizon, B-hopping, Loba).
Octane: MY ABILITIES ARE MISSING; I'M SLOW...!
