Ash - OP or Trash?
New legends are tough to balance, we get that. Of all the legends introduced since I started playing in Season 4, I think Valk is the only legend who has come in balanced (and even then she had a sli...
Current opinion on Ash a week into the game: She's fine. Actually happy that they didn't do the Seer thing where they deliberately OVERPOWERED the character with a nerf ready to go in the next update. Actually curious how Ash plays in the other maps. I don't think she will change meta though when it comes to the pro scene. As for the tactical, I don't think it's that strong as other people have pointed out. Fun new legend with a good lore and definitely a good addition to the roster.
Hot take: Wraith portal is still better. I still see the Ash ult as closer to an Octane jump pad rather than a Wraith portal.
@BaldWraithSimp I'm no ash pro by any means, but I'm using the tactical a lot, and I can honestly say it can be devastating.
All I can say really is;
-Don't throw it mindlessly, you'll probably miss.
-Use it as an ambush tool, you're going to have a considerably higher chance of hitting an unsuspecting victim. My personal favourite is tethering deathbox looters with it, especially if they're in the process of a shield switch.
-it also makes a good doorway blocking tool, if you're being chased.
There's probably plenty of other effective applications for it too, but I haven't found em yet. 😛
its very different considering fuse's tactical is about 100 times faster and doesnt slow bu i find you can use both in very similar ways, to block doors, to initiate, to generally annoy people
@MandatoryIDtagProwlers, throw it on the damn prowlers!!!! lmao
@Gabrielmojo26 Wait one second! Have you tried this!?!? Hadn't even occurred to me lmao.
