Is Bangalore an attack legend?
Her kit seems more like Gibraltar and made for getting away not attacking.
Forum Discussion
@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.

@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.- @SpyrosFPS That's all I wanted to hear :P booo bangalore! Bloodhound isn't a threat... He's a menace... he's the dark one... He's me... when I play him... :D doesn't look as ominous in text as that I had it in my head :P
I know, but in that 1 in a million, she'd be the luckiest attacker :P
@DoYaSeeMe, they already have visibility due to the digital thread. Wait wait, it's not squad vs squad. That's why I said just those 3 guys running towards each other in an open field.
I've seen the weirdest things as well... but my point with evading is you can't evade and attack in this game, other than that I fully agree with most points you made in your several posts. I like a good discussion :D
So, open field, same gear, they see me, I see them. I shoot smoke, then we all throw grenades. As they run away from the smoke cloud to regain visibility, they either run into grenades or into my squad's sight. Seen this done nicely, did it myself a couple of times as well.
I've seen a Bangalore winning against 2 enemy teams with an airstrike. I was spectating one of those teams, and they were not afraid of the airstrike, until they realised the ring comes to sting them as well. The whole team perished and the other one lost 2 members outside the ring, then their last survivor got shot in the head by the winner.
Evading or strafing can be used for strategic approach. you can lure the enemy out, so your teammates can flank him or get a good line of sight. If you are confronting a Caustic that's inside a building, for example, if would be dumb to push him, better make him come to the window or go around that building to throw termites inside while covering the exits. That still counts as an attack in my book.
