Is Bangalore an attack legend?
Her kit seems more like Gibraltar and made for getting away not attacking.
Forum Discussion
@Koochi-QI agree i can never take anyone being aggressive with her serious just like gibraltar , majority of the time when i see her she’s running away using her smoke as cover
@SethCurry Exactly. Usually they end up getting shot when trying and hightail it out of there.
@DoYaSeeMe, she’s the best evader perhaps then, not attacker :P if I’d put these 3 characters in a collision course with one another in an open field with both their tac/ult ready, same weapons and exactly same skill lvl of players. Or lets just say AI with competent thinking, who do you think would win: bangalore, octane or pathfinder. And pathfinder doesn’t have the 5% more damage nerf on him.
The winner is best bullet evader. My vote would def not be bangalore.

I've always seen bangalore as a support/crowd control legend. She certainly can be used aggressively though...i've seen it done pretty masterfully tbh.
The badges on the legend icons can be misleading though, pathfinder should share the same badge as bloodhound as he is as even his info describes him a "forward scout"
Perhaps they'll refresh the whole class thing when there's more legends but it's not exactly a game changing issue lol.
@Koochi-Q
Imagine this open field situation while i have Alternator/R99 with Digital Threat and i smoke the whole area even smoke on the enemies and i can see everything!
Well my vote would be Bangalore. ;P
Also my last game with small circle was like that in an open field and i won.Bangalore can be an attacker!
It's a very good legend.
Plus i can revive teammates and loot deathboxes in smoke without worrying about someone attacking me with a Headshot.
Also escape with double time (speed) or smoke.
@SpyrosFPSI said everyone has same weapons. So they too have the alternator with digital threat :P where’s your advantage now.
I like that you said ‘can be an attacker’. Everyone can be an attacker! If I drop a carepackage from lifeline in a bangalore smoke, she can also be an attacker :P
@DoYaSeeMe, it sorta does. ‘Evading’ is almost synonymous with ‘not attacking’ in this game at least since you can’t run and shoot. If you strafe, you’re also ‘evading’ but that’s more dodging so yea... but I get your point.
But like I said in my prev post. Open field, everyone same gear so you see them and they see you. No point in trying to confuse. And lets say everyone has digital threat. Smoke is useless in that case
LOLZ have you seen ppl be scared of her airstrike? I really haven’t. You can dodge those time delayed missles so easily, even in the open. I see ppl running for the hills with Fat Guy’s airstrike tho. But like I said she can be an attacker but it usually only happends in addition with her teammates and almost never alone.Okay same weapons. Then Octane or Pathfinder might win but pushing with their abilities might also get themselves killed.
I just mean Bangalore can be an attacker with Smoke+Digital. Sometimes enemies don't have digital scope and you have the advantage. Only Bloodhound is a threat.
Lifeline can't be an attacker with heal drone or care package. Care package kill would be 1 in a million :P
Care package can be a defensive option to take cover and i've used it very well in some situations and end game small circle where the only cover you have is a tree or nothing.
Evading doesn't mean you're not attacking. Attack is not just mindless pushing forward to death. Still, if you want to go straight to the enemy, Bangalore is your best bet, because you can blind the enemy with smoke so you don't have to dodge bullets. Or, you can throw smoke somewhere else to confuse the enemy while you flank them.
Regarding the artillery strike, there's a reason explosions don't happen instantly. That moment is very useful to scare enemies out of their hideout and shoot them out in the open field. This makes it more of an offensive ability. You can't do that in Gibraltar's air strike, as explosions are instant and you don't get to see what the enemy is doing. Gibby's ability is more defensive, designed to work in conjunction with his dome shield, forcing the enemies into close quarter where he has some leverage because of the fortified passive, or pushing them back to allow his own squad to heal, repair shields or revive.
