Why do Respawn hate Octane?
Any official responses?
Forum Discussion
@BillyCrash100 It would be interesting for me if there was no health penalty but then Octane would keep using it and won't consider the distance between him and his teammates which is a problem in itself. I personally believe that they only way to fix Octane is to make him work like Stim in TF2 where using the stim would temporarily increase your speed and slowly regain your health with a fairly long cooldown of course.
@SERPENT_DESCEND again, that would ruin Octane in my opinion. All he has is speed, if they take it away (by giving him high cooldwons) then he's just gonna be a discount Pathfinder and will replace Mirage as the worst Legend.
He doesn't need health on his stim, he has his passive.
- @BillyCrash100 Did you read my post? Stim in TF2 can heal all of his health instantly, Of course I'm not suggesting the same for Octane as that would be obviously too op but I was thinking about slowly regaining 30 HP total in the duration of Stim, His passive can't do anything near that. Also if they implemented this change then he would no longer needs his passive as it mostly there to counter HP penalty upon stimming which would open up a space for new passive/s. Sure Octane can keep his speed but he can also keep his place as the worst legend in the game.
