Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. Anywhere
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Running

When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Everytime
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Octane and Gibby have a regular footrace. Why is legends that have fortified, which has them slowed, just as fast as the self proclaimed fasted legend. That's all octane has is his jump pad and running speed, so even before the stim he should be the fastest legend then the stim should make him even faster.
What should be happening instead? Just back him faster and make the legends the have fortified actually slower.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Fastest legends should be in this order. -octane -wraith -bangalore -revnent 2. Make the fortified legends slower, noticeably

Test it yourself.

  • @Dermalious All the legends have the same base running speed.
    They probably won’t change that. I think Octane is getting a buff in S5 as well, and I heard they fixed his head hitbox recently.
  • @Sir_Named I hope they reconsider same running speed for all legends... change of their running speed based on their character or abilities could actually improve the game. Octane, Revenant, Wraith... some champions should have slightly faster walking and running speed based on their story
