Why do Respawn hate Octane?
Any official responses?
Forum Discussion
Not quite true mate.
There is no lore in game that points to octane having to lose health as a sacrifice for speed and being a dare devil. The two are not mutually exclusive. It is just how the Devs have opted to configure him.
Fact is...
He is supposed to be the fastest legend and he isn't. For this reason, why should he lose health for being the 3rd fastest lol.
Let me ask you guys this - do you think pathfinder should lose 12% health every time he grapples?
@heme725 Woah woah then who is the fastest? I gotta say, after playing Octane a lot more lately (due to these forums...) I can say that Octane is incredible! I mean the buff he got made him even more slick!! In my opinion; Octane is the repositioning champion. It doesn't matter where you are; He can make up for any distance with his speed.
He can really easily secure flanks- and flank even better as himself!
Plus, has anyone noticed his Jump pad is way more frequent? His jump pad really helps with closing gaps- completely negating the effects of terrain (Like a mountain side- you'd usually have to climb). I feel like Octane has even more mobility than before! Looting has always been a breeze for Octane- being able to loot areas, perhaps where the Ring is closing; While other Legends would be in trouble.
