Ultimate...
Automatically seeks detects and locates enemies without any effort of user, damages them, suspends them 50 meters in the air.
User can ride this and or use ultimate to arrive there.
Is basically an octane with auto lock on auto damage and freeze abilities.
Ultimate takes ridiculous amount of damage to destroy whilst it also moves and you will have no ammo to defend self.
What a ridiculous idea whoever came up with this.
I don't think it's overpowered at all. It does very little damage (25) and does not shoot people 50m in the air, you are exaggerating.
You realise you can shoot her drone right?
Yes but shooting her drone leaves you ammo less and completely vulnerable. Its a lose lose situation.
The drone is - a recon weapon, causes damage, causes stun, projects you vertically leaving you further unable to move. Mad. Almost a guaranteed kill.
I managed to counter it with Valkyrie due to clever positioning, use of both my passive and my tactical.
I was almost going to start a separate thread on this until I saw someone already did. I think Axel should be completely removed from the game until she can be reworked and balanced, then maybe added back later. The only player that benefits from playing her is cheaters, and with the current cheating epidemic being well documented right now on social media (one of the top players has said it is about 70% of the preds have some kind of mod installed during a recent Youtube video) you would think the last thing you would want to do is give the cheaters another advantage. They already have the ability to use aimbot, triggerbot, apex beam (zero recoil with rapid fire), invisibility, movement scripts, shoot through obstacles like crates, cause your game to crash, and now they can throw you in the air and get a perfect headshot while you are in the sky and race past you so fast you can't shoot at them while unloading any gun they wish into you with the beam cheat when a normal player cannot hope to aim while going that fast.
I agree Axel is a cool idea on paper, but with the current issues being dealt with in the game, this is the worst time in the world to add this character. Maybe when the cheating problem is under control and if EA/Respawn can sue the cheat makers the same way Fortnite did to get them to stop, it would be a good legend to have in the game, but right now this is the worst timing. If the devs are reading this please reconsider this legend, and put her back in when it would make more sense.
