Devs, Bangalore needs a buff.

@EA_Kent @EA_David @EA_Arcadia  Hey guys, lately I been noticing that a lot of characters have been getting buffed or nerfed and it honestly does feel more balanced and overall makes more sense. The...

    Agree, that's a good point. Swap them is good idea.

    Bangelore should be an agressive and offensive, she's a soldier, soldier want kills not run away/respositioning like a chicken.

@ResidualKing Her tactical can be countered, but it’s still good. You can use it on enemies who are sniping you, since it has a ton of range.
Her ult doesn’t do much damage, but it’s a great tool for repositioning, or forcing enemies to retreat/stay away.
Your ult change would basically make her Gibraltar, but she wouldn’t take damage from her ult.
Her double time is just fine. She can literally move at octane speed without a health cost. She also moves the same speed as bloodhound’s ult.
Sure, his ult counters her, but bloodhound is also good if he’s on the same team as you. Plus, there are other legends who are countered by other legends, and they don’t really need buffs. (Caustic Crypto, or Wraith Caustic)

Yeah, I agree. She’s underrated. But that means that she’s better than most people think, which I agree with. She’s pretty balanced right now, and should stay that way.

@Sir_NamedIve been playing Bangalore non-stop. I'm a high diamond player and win games consistently, but I can't speak from a predators perspective. Imo, her ult is as useless as it gets. Rolling Thunder's only application is to reposition or hold down an area to allow said repositioning, but its cooldown does not justify its poor impact and she's NOT a defensive character like Gibby to justify such an ult. There are better repositioning ults anyways, such as port, zipline, and jumpad that can let you move to a new area before Bangs missles even begin to detonate. Then, if your goal is to hold down an area you've got Caustic, Wattson, and Rampart that do that much more effectively. She's trying to be a jack of all trades with the ability to hold down a position while also offerering the choice to reposition, and this is hurting her overall performance. It genuinely sucks that she's an aggro legend, with even a speed boost to help catch up to someone if she wanted, but her ultimate does the complete opposite, holding her back and punishing her if she tries to push when it's down. Now, her passive is good, but it needs to be fixed. What I mean is, you could be inside a building and the enemy shoots at a teammate on the roof and the passive will trigger leaving you without a speed bonus when you really need it. Its activation conditions need to be more fine tuned than just the enemy bullet shot in proximity = activation. I've got 300+ hours as Bangalore alone and she honestly needs a better ult or a buff to it. Let the bang player decide when the missles detonate once they're down and that'll make people REALLY move back and think twice before challenging you. It'll definitely allow her to hold down an area and reposition if that's what they intended. Its cooldown is long enough to justify this change. Or simply give her a different ult that compliments her playstyle like they did for Mirage, I always loved playing Mirage but his ult did not compliment his purpose. These are just my observations and opinions, you are obviously free to disagree and explain why.

    @Ramon1363 I was on this thread a long time ago.

    I would agree that the cooldown doesn’t 100% justify it.

    Although I’d say it is a reposition ult, it differs from others.
    It doesn’t make you faster, but it slows everyone else down. Therefore, it helps you reposition, but in a different way.

    It also covers an incredibly large area, so it does get some good value there. I wouldn’t use it defensively, unless you are preventing a team from advancing on you. (Like if you finish a battle and you spot some people coming to third party you off in the distance.)

    It doesn’t really matter if a character is classified as aggro or defensive, as their ult can pretty much be any combination of both. Take Gibby for example, his ult seems to be fairly aggro, yet he’s more defense/tanky.

    Another thing to note, a “jack of all trades” is also a master of none. Bangalore is really flexible, but if your team is trying to run a certain playstyle, there are likely slightly better options.

    If the passive is bugged, then oh well. Fix it I guess. If it works fine normally then it doesn’t need a buff.

    Your idea is interesting, although there should be a long time limit, so that the Bangalore can’t just close off huge sections of land indefinitely.
