(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...

@LordloshBang All levels matter, but like I said I do think higher levels should matter more. It's the game as a whole. I don't know what you consider low level players but I now know 2 Mirage players who make it to diamond every season and swear he is the best legend in the game so it's not just low level players that don't know what they are talking about sometimes.
There are a lot of game deciding factors BH is almost a must have on any decent team. But with the logic you gave me lifelines ult can be a game deciding ult which is what we were talking about. Lifeline can drop her carepackage with a fresh purple shield and some heals and that can be the game deciding factor. Very few legends are as useful as BH, and as good at getting you to the world cup. But game deciding ult is what ends the match. You can throw any of the ults I mentioned before and that be the last thing you need to do. I have killed 2 teams with gibbys ult at the end and not have done anything else at least twice in ranked gameplay.
I don't want to take too long or get much deeper into revanant because I don't have to pro or masters and up game knowledge that you seem to have. I can see him being more useful in higher ranks so we will see.
I was thinking the same thing as you when I saw your lengthy post we won't find common ground in this case and we have gotten off the topic of the post, but it was a good talk.

Check this video on Hal in some tournament, where he play with Reps and BH, and how important BH is at any stage. They knew the enemy position all the time, and Hal was able to land Kraber shots, they knew exactly where the enemy team is going to move, and this give them a huge advantage. Almost every pro team that have good thinking is using it now. This is viable to Crypto as well. To know the enemy position is a crucial in any given game.
Quick example, give a CS:GO PRO a WH, and he will dominate every single match. Also main reason why so many people are cheating on Warzone, and CS:GO with ESP/WH.
If you got the mechanical skill, this is crucial.
And let me get back to Octane and his jump pad. Check in Hal video when they were outside of the tunnel top 5 squads left, and a team decide to reposition with Octane Jump Pad, they were literally destroyed, before they even land. If they got Wraith that wouldn`t have happen, cause he can portal, and then just a insta Q and move her team 100% safely. This also shows how important BH is, to know the exact position on them all, pretty much all the time.

The fight starts around 5:00 minutes.
Not saying Octane is useless, but i`m saying his Jump Pad is situational. And using it to reposition in High Ranked, Competitive in such scenario will just get you and your team killed.
There is many visible strategy, and you can make a case for Horizon, Wraith and Octane, being 1 of the legends, but the rest for me are 100% spot on BH and Gibraltar.
And there is nothing wrong with it.
As far as balancing goes i have said it million times, a good Devs balancing their gameplay towards high level of play.
Its the same for fighting game, for RPG, for ARPG, for FPS, for BR, for MMORPG, for Fighting game and so.
And i`m saying that knowing that i`m very far from the highest possible level of play, but i understand why it should be that way.
P.P. This is the clip i was talking about Hal using Jump Pad that led to his insta death.
