(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 buff which changed octane from a b tier legend to s tier 

I don’t think it needs increased to the extreme with a 90-120+ second cooldown timer like the mistake you made with other legends but a 75-80 cool down time would be efficient enough so he will still be able to be octane and do stupid pushes and die but it will also make him have less jump pads in the long term like its currently on a 1 min timer so in 4 minutes thats 4 jump pads... with a 75-80 sec timer you would only receive 3 jump pads in those 4 minutes which honestly isn’t much but with the fast pace of apex legends those 15-20 seconds are enough to make or break the entire fight which is the difference between surviving and getting sent back to the lobby

    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.

  • Octane's problem is once his uses stim his hit box makes it hard to hit and half the shots don't register correctly, fix his hit box, that is why so many people play him and win all the time
