Bangalore needs a major rework
Let's look at her smoke, it's easily countered by Digital threats. Blood hound can see straight through it with scans or ult. Horizon can also get out of the smoke easily or look down into it and see...

Did you read my whole post?
As i said Wattson ult and Gibraltar dome should still be countering her ult.
But what did you say with your post has no made any sense at all.
Right now, as i stated, half of the legends are countering Bangalore Ult, that already have ENOUGH WAY TO Counter it, and you have enough time to moving out of the rocket damage radius or just stay in the radius, but find a place, where you won`t be hit by it. I have done this million times, even when they put the whole Ult on me, and i`m poping a bat i still can find a safe place without full movement(due to healing)to stay safe in the radius and not get hit.
Isn`t this enough counter? Isn`t that you have all the time in the world to move, not enough counter? Isn`t that if you go into building is not enough counter? Not only that, but you just need a roof, it could be open place, but if you have roof - Bangalore ult not working at all.
Her ult is already garbage enough. You should not allow a passive or tactical ability to bypass her completely, when you already have 3923792832893 ways of counter her "naturally".
Her ult is garbage, unless you are playing against super low level lobbies that obviously don`t know what they are doing.
For god sake even if i`m downed, and Bangalore ult directly at me i can still find a spot where i will be 100% free and she won`t kill me.
Her ult in a higher lobbies, damn even at average lobbies where people just know what they are doing, and are not fully potato won`t do anything for you.
Even if you use it, as a escape ability, still won`t work, cause Wraith will just phase through it, Octane will jump pad on it, Path will grapple, Horizon will lift, Valk will dodge it with her passive(another joke), Loba will bracelet and you get the picture and you still be end up dead.
And you can`t compare her to different ult, like Caustic or Giby, cause Caustic is straight up instant, and if it throws it right, you will be hit by it, and slowed by it. Gibraltar is pretty much instant as well, and you end up at the radius, you will be get hit like 90% of the time, cause you can`t predict exactly where the rockets will drop, unlike with Bangalore, where you even have indicator for them .....
I just don`t see how is that fair to Bangalore. Her ult is useless if you have a decent game knowledge.
And like 90% of the people are using this legends, so 90% of the lobbies will just have a free ticket for her ult, even if they decide to sleep and stay on the radius of her ult, they still have a free ticket, which is ridiculous.
@LordloshBang I think he's agreeing with you that it's to easily countered. We are not saying it should have no counters, but there are just far to many ways to avoid it. Smoke and double time were what made her good.
Her double time and smoke need another buff. The ult I'm okay with being focused on buying time and scattering enemies. But right now it's largely ineffective.
Toss in that Valk ult does not require you to holster her weapon to use and is fairly instant. The players I've been seeing, Valk launches her missiles at you, then hits her jet pack to rush you as your stunned.
If you want to do anything remotely close to that with bang, throw the ult and have an octane teammate jump pad rush.
Most of this was not a huge deal last season or the season before but the gap is just grown way to big now. I still try and play her, play 2-3 rounds and just switch over to another legend.
I'm kind of bummed about it because I spent a ton of money to get her heirloom. Now I can't enjoy it...
