Healthy way to balance Horizon.

If people try to recall old days they probably remember legend who has been criticized for it's tactical ability as same as horizon today. Who would it be? Of course it was Pathfinder. It's grapple annoyed and made people mad as same as gravity lift today in the same time it has similar mechanics but in horizontal plane. And what was made to resolve that problem? Of course every body know. Now same approach could be applied to horizon as well as it was with pathfinder.

Suggestions:

All timings and speed of tactical ability from season 7 but:
- if horizon take lift and sitting on the top all it's lifetime -> recharging time increases;

- if horizon use lift just to lift up and do not sitting on the top -> recharging time decreases (teammates lift using increases recharge time (optional);

- Speed of lifting same as it was in season 7 but lift can be used only one person at the same time and just one legends could be at the top (not like all three sitting there inside each other what makes you see player model inside of it);

Gravity lift must have default recharge time in case no one used it.

If you swing and shoot at the top of lift it could increase recharging time in logic like if player making additional actions at the top of the lift it has to spend more energy -> more time to recharge.

  • @Mister_47Y I actually find her to be well balanced in the legend system now. She finally can not sit in her air strafe for long periods popping bats and such. Her ult is very iffy on if it will actually hit the enemy team or they just run from it like most do or instantly shoot it.

    IMO this was a drastic change that was done to her. Only time will tell how big of a change it made when the season ends and her pick and win rate data is recorded. But a lot of pro players have stopped playing her completely. Which is a good thing because her lift was way too over-powered and gave her a huge advantage over all legends.

    @E9ine_AC Pro players stopped playing the over powered meta player when she became less powerful? No way! 😉

    @hayhor Yea now she is just a legend like most others. I am all for trying to make legends on par with others. I think this helped balance her out.
