@ResidualKingI think you’re viewing Bang and her abilities wrong. She is really about confusing the enemy, disorientation, splitting up the enemy, buying time. More advanced play she becomes a legend that’s about putting pressure on an enemy and yes her abilities allow you to do that. The smoke+double time can let you really put the heat on an enemy squad.
Her abilities are fairly good at that. Throw it down on an enemy and they scatter unless there is a building they can hide in or something. Could the ult use a rework? Possibly, but changing it would/could have negative consequences.. if they speed up the drop of the ult, it won’t buy you as much time to run.
She is by far the best legend for beginners. She is the most forgiving legend available. Her abilities are also the easiest to use and use effectively. The abilities allow noobs to buy time and make an exit from a sticky situation.
Gibi is not a defensive legend. He is brut force, he is a hard hitting tank. I’d say that’s exactly what his abilities and ult make him out to be. Overall he is one of the strongest CQC legends in game. Caustic might be slightly better in very specific situations, but overall I’d rather have Gibi. Defensive legends are caustic and Wattson.
