Stop nerfing Octane
It is not necessary but dev is insist to nerf Octane. Increasing the cooldown of the launch pad from 60 to 90 and losing 20 HP when used tactically is too much.
This is too much dev.

The nerf is fair
@OkulteKeule97Stop writing 4 words and tell me why "fair".
Even though a lot of people don't agree with me here, mobility is a huge advantage. Octane is capable of quickly getting out of combat while also being able to effortlessly chase someone who runs away. He's a double-edged sword if both blades were facing away from him. The 20 damage you receive from the Stim has little to no repercussion on his combat performance. And those couple of seconds of mobility affect his general agility. So hitting him is pretty difficult, chasing him is near impossible and getting away from him is equally as difficult.
His Jump Pad is the least of my concerns. The longer cooldown sure will affect the amount of jump pads you see around, but that doesn't solve the issue with the Revenant/Jump Pad combo. Or the Jump pad/wraith portal combo. But it's a nerf that has the chance to reduce his usage rate.
- @FPShogun You neither did justify your point of view.
Fact is that Octane is meta because of so much advantage in mobility (get better loot, better grounds, can outmanoeuver opponents, more difficult to be shot at).
His ult also benefits to its team, and is still faster than Horizon's and other ones. He's slow now and he's not hard to chase down if u can hear where he's going he doesn't even run fast anymore and u have a pathfinder who knows how to grapple u can easily catch up to him, plus enemies can also use his jumppad
- @OkulteKeule97 Octane nerf soon come again, is that fair? I don't think so. It would be better if you were more descriptive instead of typing 4 words.
Octane has been overtuned for several seasons. Based on a quick search, he is the single most used legend in the entire game right now, and has been one of the top legends since he received his jump pad buff in season 7 or 8. Mobility is the biggest advantage in this game because the ability to run in and out of fights and maneuver the ring is what drives success in this game, far more than skill ever will. In King's Canyon ranked matches there was nothing but Octane/Revenant combos getting freebies because they can just jump halfway across the map in a Revenant ultimate (because he got overtuned as well) and wear down teams that couldn't kill them because they would teleport back across the map. Octane basically replaced Wraith because of his jump pad buff. He cannot be nerfed enough right now. Every single team runs an Octane in the matches I play. It's obnoxious.
- @Peri_Longbow_plz so let's everyone play rampart and camp with shila that's the game you want and devs nice
Chasing Octane around the map while he pushes every team he sees just to disengage and pad away is SO MUCH FUN.... Not. Octanes stim away from their teams and then have the nerve to say "why are you so slow?". I would rather have a Rampart on my team any day then a thrill seeker. Nerf him and put him back where he belongs!!!! Boo freaking Hoo!!!!
No worries.... After the next update Rampart will no longer be stationary. I can't wait to light y'all up.
"Say hello to Sheila!!!!"
