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 only character who does not seem to get as much love is Bangalore. A lot of people do not really say much about her but we all know she should get a buff. She is a attacker character but lately with all these new buffs to other characters, her abilities get overwhelmed. Her smoke canisters while effective are easily detected through digital threats or if theres a bloodhound. I suggest a bigger smoke spread , longer duration and maybe three smoke canisters?  But overall her smoke is decent. As for her ultimate.. it is very very poor. Its extremely slow.  Its so easy to get out of it in a fight unlike Gibraltars. Bangalore is suppose to be more of a offensive character then Gibraltar but yet her ultimate is weak. I suggest they keep it  the except same way but at least make it fall  like Gibraltars does. Also bangalore should not take any damage from her own strike but it should still stun her. It should just be one big strike that falls the same speed as Gibraltars and just damages you and stuns the enemies. It would actually help bangalore a lot as players do not use her because of this. Also her double time needs a re- work.. I find it should give her at least 25 more temporary health while in double time. Also if theres a bloodhound, with bangalores abilities as they are right now, its overwhelming and not matched. She can not evade the speed of bloodhound and her smoke is useless against his ultimate Thus rendering her useless if trying to get out of sight unlike other characters when they encounter a bloodhound. These are just tips and suggestions as I find players are being balanced .  I find that players barely use her and think she deserves a buff but nobody really tries to bring it up as shes underrated and all the other legends are really meta. I hope the devs eventually see this and take it into consideration. I hope bangalore gets a decent buff. It would definitely make her more balance and actually a threat to look out for. She is a attack military character anyways. Maybe then more people would play her.

    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.

    I agree, she does need a buff but I think her ult is fine, along with her passive, I think they need to give her the smoke ability from titan fall, where you could deploy smoke immediately on your location, it doesn’t have to damage people, it can behave like normal smoke, but make it where Bangalore can double click her tactical button and she will immediately detonate one of her smoke charges on herself, it wouldn’t make her unbalanced, it would just allow for faster response to some one shooting at you, also add the third charge of smoke please, you took over a year to fix her ult, please don’t skip out on the third charge for her tactical

    @ResidualKing Let's talk: I am 100% all for a Bangalore buff, but your idea of her buff is basing her strictly on her description and biography. Sure, she is an ATTACK character, but if Apex were to base every Legend's kit on whether they are defensive or offensive, the game would lose a lot of liberty and strategic aspects it gives its players. Bangalore is listed as an offensive, attack-type legend, but her kit is that, plus a little bit of defensive to allow players to strategize and have more fun playing her character. Apex did the same thing with other ATTACK characters like Wraith and Octane: They are attackers, but their kit also allows for defensive or supportive plays. You cannot base every legend's kit based on their background and description because it takes away the versatile aspects that make Apex the game we all love. If you were to do so, the game would become so strict, limited, and text-book that it would become dull and boring. The versatileness of every legends' kit is their for a reason. Every offensive character has defensive qualities and every defensive character has offensive qualities. It's what makes the game worth playing and enjoyable.

    @ResidualKing I am all for a Bangalore buff, but your idea of her being buffed is so limited to her biography and description, it makes her character dull and boring. Sure, she is listed as an offensive, ATTACK legend, but if her kit was solely based on that, she would lose her versatility and strategic game plays that make Apex the game we know and love. Wraith and Octane are ATTACK legends as well, but the devs, purposefully implement other qualities and versatility to their kit to make their characters able to do a little bit of both. If all the legends' kits were made based only on their offensive/defensive description and biography like you proposed, Apex would become dull and boring, and would strip away from the liberty players have to come up with strategic plays and versatile blueprints. The game would be so limited and text-book: less intense and more strict. That is not what the developers want for their game.
