Bangalore buff idea

In my personal opinion, I do believe Bangalore is a very well balanced legend, I like her tactical and her ultimate is very good, although I feel it should cover a larger area and the bombs should have more range, they are missles after all. But I do believe she could use some tweaks. Take caustic for example, his tactical takes 30 secs for a single charge. And ha traps have priority, damage people over time, and can be disorienting, plus he has three charges compared to Bangalore’s 2 charges and his gas can last longer. So I think three charges of smoke would be nice, but not really necessary, a shorter cooldown though would be very much welcome, that smoke makes me feel like Batman when I use it and disappear 🦇. Let me just compare her tactical cool down to other legends, mirage, creates copies of himself out of light that he can control, and tell him where a shooter is at when shot, has a 15 second  cool down. Wraith who literally has the power to go into another dimension and be invincible for a few seconds, has a 25 second cool down, pathfinder, can grapple and quickly reposition himself or even slingshot himself any where, at most, 30 secs. Doesn’t make a lot of sense when she fires smoke, no superpowers, no super fancy tech or anything like that. So I just think her tactical should have a shorter cooldown, probably the 15 seconds like mirages. Now this part is just me thinking this would be cool, but I think it would be awsome if Bangalore could launch grenades, arc stars and thermites from her smoke launcher as well, it just sounds like fun, you could select the grenade you want using the wheel for the grenades and fire it using the tactical, it sounds like a lot of fun. Okay last thing, maybe, please give the bombs in rolling thunder more range, they are bombs falling from orbit, thy should have more range, also, maybe make it where when they impact with the ground they can stun nearby enimies, not hurt, but stun, like I said, it’s falling from orbit, it’s going to hit the ground hard. Now you could give the bombs in rolling thunder more range and that way you could make the ultimate cover a larger area, same amount of bombs but because of the increased range in each bombs explosion, you could increase the size of the area the bombs would fall in. Now on to the good, damaging people with Bangalore’s smoke, even knocking or killing them, so satisfying, plus that bombardment, so good for third partying, I mean really good for it. Alright, that’s all folks.

  • I do full heartily agree with this, caustic is a in place character and is great for trapping enemy players or keeping them out, which is also why I feel Bangalore should have a shorter cooldown on her smoke, it’s great for evasion and for hiding from enemy players. I just feel like, that for such a simple ability, when you have others do so much more, it should have a shorter cooldown, especially when you are trying to escape enemy players and you are in desperate need to smoke again but you are still waiting on the cooldown. Giving Bangalore a shorter cooldown on smoke wouldn’t make her a top tier or op. It would be more of a quality of life buff that would just make her more enjoyable for Bangalore players.

    Yes better visibility for her smoke would be nice, but they need to make it so Bangalore smoke has less ways for enemy players to see through it, there are just to many ways to do so and make her smoke go capoot. What would be nice is if for Bangalore’s, the smoke is transparent, but for everyone else, it behaves like her smoke normally does, only Bangalore’s can see through the smoke, so if a Bangalore fires her smoke, she can still see through it, and the only enemy player that can see through it is either a Bangalore, a bloodhound, or someone with a digithreat. I know it would add another way to see through the smoke, but this could allow Bangalore some more aggressive gameplay
