(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...

@Ironflower196 Yeah they win games thanks to BH ult, you know the position on the enemy pretty much the whole time, thanks to his ult, and the low CD on his scan, while in his ult phase. And its not just you, but your entire team. You can peak at the right time and that is a game deciding, and game changing thing.
Its the same for Revenant. You are able to push without consequences.
If i`m to build a legend i would pick this 2 ult all day long, compare to Octane. And while Octane ult is useful in certain situation as i have previous state, at one point you are like o dear, why i don`t have Gibraltar ult in this fight or so. In a fight its pretty much gives nothing. It helps you significantly in movement, and its solid in Pub to quickly find teams, no doubt about it. Its obvious have its use in comp/high, but not much impact like a lot other ults.
I`m talking about High ranked and competition. Revenant is still not played to his potential. He still have deciding ult, that is a huge + to the team.
And i`m bringing a high level of play, cause this is the way a game is and should be balancing. If you balance towards low skilled players, then you have a problem and will end up in a mess.
Most of them are just blaming on everything that kills them. They refuse to improve, they refuse to get better, and refuse to learn how to counter stuffs. Its not just in Apex, its in any game.
Now players are picking Octane more frequently due to buffs and they are complaining all over the place. Its the same with Spitfire. The weapon is pretty much the same, just + 1 damage, but because is picked way way more, and people are just on low level and get deleted by it, they blame the weapon, and not themself and the reason why get killed or how to play and or counter the weapon.
As far as tiers i already have stated that he is very strong now. But he deserve it. He is definitely A tier. If we look as a solo play(lets say like ShivFPS is doing) he maybe even an S tier legend.

@LordloshBang Man; you're doing Great!
Look so I can stop this thread; OCTANE IS GOING TO BE PERFECT AFTER THIS NERF COMING.
I'll say it one more time: Everyone else has been nerfed recently in the past few seasons like Revenant, Wraith, Path or Horizon and are and weren't prepared for Octane's "ascension" in Season 8. Octane's not op. and he isn't an issue. Once everyone else get's buffed and given power back Octane will slowly fall back to almost where he was.
Remember when Caustic was deadly? + Octane stim damage? That was a nightmare. But now that Caustic traps don't do much Octane can do more than previous seasons. THE SAME WITH EVERY OTHER LEGEND! Almost everyone has been nerfed in some capacity allowing Octane to be great. Once (for example) Wraith got buffed to her original self. (No one would be playing Octane).
Does anyone see my point? Octane since day 1 has either had no buffs, underpowered and terrible hitbox. Every other legend has been overpowered or average and today/modernly/presently. They have been nerfed. Well Octane has finally after such a long period of waiting has been buffed. When other legends like Caustic or Wraith has been nerfed to death.
My point is just leave Octane alone (because if you don't you'll screw him up and he just won't be able to compete.) Just give most of the nerfed legends some of their original power back.
Just ask yourself; would Octane be top 5 if Caustic, Wraith, Horizon, Path, Revenant, etc. All got buffed?

@031567 Where are you getting this trash idea? No Legend is or has ever been trash.
Octane-Revenant meta completely dominated KC Ranked and it’s a terrible meta that needs to be nerfed. Which is why they’re nerfing Octane.

For how long you are playing this game, 2 months? No legend is or has ever been trash, that is a good laugh to be fair.
Octane, Mirage has been absolutely trash for pretty much till Season 5-6. Gibraltar was trash for very long period of time as well, before he was finally properly buffed. Crypto was trash for long time as well. BH was beyond terrible at one point. Revenant was trash.
Rampart and Fuse are totally trash now as well.
Legends balance in Apex Legends has been absolutely garbage.
They have 2 legends that were totally over the board - Wraith and Path, and the rest was just there to fill the cast. How long Competition and High play was pretty much 100% pick rate - Wraith, Path and Wattson.
It took them like a year and a half before starting buffing the rest, and there is still plenty of just not viable legends.
