That definitive 101 Loba upgrade / fix post

Good write up. I mained Loba starting around season 6 or 7 and I really like her as a character and her abilities but us Loba users know the struggles she currently faces. Since season 8 I have not used her as much. I think her bracelet definitely needs the most attention and it looks like that is being prioritized thankfully, but you brought up some good considerations. I think your points about needing to make her more thief like as far as not bringing a ton of attention to herself are the ones I agree with most...the passive ammo loot I am not sure is needed but interesting suggestion nonetheless and in tune with her character.

One thing I didn’t see mentioned that I am curious if anyone thinks needs changing, is the ability of teammates to destroy the black market. Obviously enemies can and should be able to destroy it. But you would be shocked the amount of times I throw the black market down, go do something else, come back to try and use it myself and my teammate that got what they need decides to punch it out without knowing if anyone else still needs to use it.

I think as the support Loba needs more agency over who can use it, so what I think should happen is 1. Only Loba should be able to close her own black market and to complement this: 2. She should not have to be next to it to close it. She should be able to close it while facing it from distance with the dpad/ equivalent button or something, and the range for this should be the same as her range for the ultimate/pinging high tier items.

This lets her as the support make sure the entire squad is looted, and provides opportunity to use her ultimate as bait. Either leave it up and shoot enemies while they’re using it, or put it out in the open to get people closer to you, call it back and open fire. The option to remove or replace the black market, besides destroying it, shouldn’t be confined to calling a new one down. 

Oh, and Red Handed skin is still busted. But hooded skin and long hair skin are both ideas I like. She could really do with more skins in general.
