Really interested if people will still use the octane-rev combo in Olympus since it’s a bigger map.
I am a Revenant main and have been since his release and I'm going to honestly say: he does not need a big nerf.
He is nowhere near overpowered, he is just frustrating to play against. His Passive Ability is one of the most underwhelming abilities in the game, so it needs a buff (unlimited climb is a great concept). It's his Tactical and Ultimate that make him good.
I'm going to be honest here: the death totem's cooldown does need an increase by at most a minute. As someone who plays Revenant all the time, I do think that for an ability as strong and frustrating as the death totem, his current cooldown feels like a bit too much. Revenant should be a high skill Legend, and most new Revenant players are forgiven for just throwing the totem down whenever and wherever they feel like it by the what I think is a slightly too short cooldown.
That's all they should do to his kit for a long while. Give him unlimited climbing as a buff to his very underwhelming passive, and a slight cooldown nerf by at most a minute to his death totem. No more or less than that in my opinion as a Diamond Revenant main.
As for Octane, I don't know man. My second least played Legend and as a Revenant player I don't find him too annoying because I silence all Octanes I come across which dramatically reduces the difficulty and frustration of taking on an Octane.
Horizon's passive is worse than Revenant's? It's her second best ability and her worst ability is one of the most meta ultimates right now.

@CompleatBeetHe doesn't need a big nerf.
He needs a rework. His kit is an unbalanceable one. His ult provides him an extremely obnoxious, cheap, unfitting immortality, and his tac is a silence. Silences like that are either terrible or completely broken. He's not good at all, he's annoying. I used to main sombra on OW and the amount of keyboards smashed because of my mindless activity were many. Revenant is deeply antifun, and when paired with an Octane, is just an awful experience for everyone.
The tactic can't secure a win at all. It just secures KP before you eventually, pathetically, die. If you make him usable or a frequent flyer in lobbies and not an odd hero like Rampart, the game becomes miserable.
Revenant suffers from the same problem that Fuse does. Fuse can't really be balanced because his whole gimmick is one hit AoE spam, spam in general, and area denial. I want to see the lesser heroes shine but some are either 100 or 0.
I guess people in this thread are correct that people are using the Octane-Rev combo because of the map since KC is a smaller map where you can 3rd party much easier and because of charge towers. I see a lot less of it now in Olympus and they're usually not as effective as last split. And of course, every team still has a Horizon.
He really doesn't need a rework or big nerf.
Revenant is supposed to be frustrating, and that doesn't make him overpowered at all.
His Passive is underwhelming.
His Tactical is really strong but it's nowhere near as OP as a Sombra hack because fights with silenced enemies still rely on skill. It's not just thrown directly on enemies, you can use it to hold chokepoints or as a smoke. This ability is only at its strongest if you're communicating with your teammates and calling out your silenced enemies.
His Ultimate is only good if you're in a premade squad because it requires good coordination to actually get value out of.
