What Characters need buffs/nerfs

I'm interested to see what characters everyone thinks should be changed whether buff or nerf

My list:

  • Wraith - Nerf
    • Her tactical is the best in the game, with the minor downside of a trail and not seeing enemies. Her passive is ok, but her portal is pretty op. AND THAT HITBOX
  • Pathfinder - Good
    • His grappling hook isn't too strong, his passive is useless, unless you find a beacon, and even then... but his zipline is pretty good at getting the team anywhere
  • Wattson - Good
    • Her fences are pretty good for camping buildings, her passive is pretty good and her ultimate is pretty good as well, so she is pretty balanced
  • Bloodhound - Buff
    •  Their passive is good, but their tactical is only for a certain range and their ultimate is loud and visual. TONE DOWN THE GODDAMN AUDIO RESPAWN
  • Crypto - Buff
    • Yeah, he sucks without his drone. If you need to rush anywhere, and your drone is destroyed, well good luck to you. Also the body shield dropping for EMP is terrible
  • Octane - Buff
    • When was the last time you played octane and thought: 'WOW! WHAT A WELL BALANCED LEGEND!" His passive is slow, and his tactical takes way to much health away for the minor 30% extra speed that could've been just as easily achieved by Pathfinder, Bangalore, Bloodhound or Wraith, and his Ultimate is the most useless in the game, for a minute and a half cool down
  • Caustic - Buff
    • This guy needs love. Gas traps are utter garbage at set up and placement and his passive is literally just being immune to his own kind. His ultimate is fairly decentthough
  • Bangalore - Good
    • I don't know much about the state of Bangalore, but she seems pretty good. Double time is good, smoke is good, her ultimate is good as well
  • Lifeline - Good
    • My lifeline knowledge is equal to my amount of time i spend a day with friends - 0. Nevertheless, she seems in a good position, even though that D.O.C nerf hurt her hard. Her ultimate also needs less 'Here I am shoot me', but her passive is fine
  • Gibraltar - Good
    • Yeah, I don't play Chubraltar much, but I haven't seen many problems with him after the season 3 buff, his ulti is fine, his passive needs a bit of work, but is fine and his tactical is good ater the +25%
  • Mirage - Buff
    • Dupes o'clock? More like dead o'clock. Mirage's decoy is just so pitiful. Just buff it to either go around stuff or climb over it, would that be too hard? His passive is actually ok, because of the fact you're invisible, but the fake death needs to be buffed, and his ultimate is actually pretty decent because of the fact you are invisible, but would it be too much to ask to med up while invisible?

Just my general opinions, what do you think?

  • I think Caustic should be the first character in the game with no ultimate ability, he should just have two abilities with separate cool downs or they could continue to work off a resource meter leaving him with choices to make. If we made his ultimate just another ability he could be great, he would have to choose between traps or an active smoke grenade. I don't think his ult as is would work for this it would more than likely need a nerf to its range potentially. In theory it would be equal to his traps but he would have to make a choice between a passive or active set up. Again this would work off one resource meter potentially so he wouldn't have double the use of abilities or anything. I don't think he should get a new ultimate ability if they chose to do this, he would be (for now if they did it) the only character with "two" tactical abilities but he would have no ult. I put two in quotes because they would still work off the same meter.

    If you see problems with this tell me, also cause I know someone skimmed I did say his ults range would be nerfed to make this work.
