"You Got Bamboozled!" - My Ideas For Mirage!

''Jumpmaster Here! Good thing my buddies and I aren't afraid of heights!''

Don't get me wrong.. I LOVE playing as Mirage, but I feel a few things could be tweaked..


ISSUE ONE: Anyone who knows how mirage plays probably wont be fooled by his Ultimate ability.
- Me and my squad were playing when I had to escape a quick firefight I ran through a house using my ultimate, but was easily spotted and gunned down.
- I feel as though this could be easily rectified by keeping mirage visible. and having all of the decoys scatter in the directions they currently spawn in..

This would mean that running into an open space and firing off the ultimate will throw decoys in multiple directions and you can use the confusion of all of them to set off in another direction!

ISSUE TWO: BEING STUCK CLOAKED IN THE ULTIMATE!
- The BIG ISSUE 
with this, Is that as soon as you're spotted whilst you are cloaked you can be dropped in seconds with no way to retaliate..
- I feel like you should be able to deactivate the effect by pressing the Ultimate button again, Just so you can fire back at least...

ISSUE THREE: His Hologram when being knocked down could be a little more... realistic?
- Instead of the hologram being 'injured' Maybe have it fire off a few shots? or have it crawl in a different direction? giving you just enough time.. I don't know..?
I've escaped enough deaths with the ability as it is.. And also using a knockdown shield when cloaked gives away your position immediately.

There's a few more things that could be said but those are a few points that id like to get out
This is a FANTASTIC game and I am going to continue playing it regardless..
Just hope my favourite guy can be a little more useful! haha!

Hope to see your comments below with your opinions!

  • Seriously guys thank you all for all of your amazing replies x it's a lot of fun reading through all of the things people think about my suggestions! I love the game and literally play it every day! 

    as far as I could see a lot of people agree with my views..

    I wanna point out that my issue with his ultimate stands..

    EVEN TODAY I hit mirages ult.. ran off down the side of a house while cloaked and escaped the persuit of the player chasing me... Perfect Right...?

    WRONG. while cloaked I ran directly into another team who could see my cloak no matter how sneaky i was trying to be...

    I was shredded and killed shortly after with no hope of revival.. 

    I just feel like the cloaking rarely works and anyone used to how mirage plays is constantly on the lookout for his cloaked silouhette.. xx

  • Yeah, for his ult to be viable he would need to be either actually invisible or have a hefty speed boost while stealthed. 

    As for his passive it just needs a different application like maybe he automatically stealths when he drops below 25% health

    Id love to toy with the idea of his ult changing the dynamic of the game in a different way. My favourite idea being that each of his clones have a conversation with one another. The noise cancelling of you escaping would be handy and it would play on an element of the game that thus far hasn't been changed. It would possibly need the visibility of mirage playing with too, but that would be one for the people who balance it all appropriately. It would also fit his character perfectly!

    Or as I mentioned in my original post.. he could fire running decoys in a few different directions but stay visible x
  • Mirage is my favourite legend but I think he needs a buff . I've got a few ideas :

     PASSIVE ABILITY : 

    His passive can be still the same but when he is downed please make the cloak invisible or harder to see ( the time he cloaks could be reduced to 4 seconds ) because let's be honest everyone can see that the decoy is fake and the real one is pretty obvious ( or you can add another passive where when he revives a teammate you go cloak / 

      TACTICAL ABILITY:

    His decoys should be able to sprint , sometimes slide ( every 2 or 3 seconds ) and can climb through several objects ( very annoying when the decoy is stuck) ( you guys can even make the decoy shoot fake bullets but that maybe too op )

       ULTIMATE ABILITY:

    Mirage Ult ability is good for escape but some times it could be suiciding because you can't get out of cloak even when you're being shot at so add a button so u can get out of it and just like the passive you can be invisible or harder to see while cloak ( reduced time ) . The decoys you spawn should also be able to move to make chaos and if touch another opponent it will detonate ( 25 dmg ) ( could be too op)

    "You just got bamboozled,  look at you !!" Let's make that sentence another enemy's nightmare.  BUFF MIRAGE!!!!

                   THANKS 🙂
