Is the new Mirage broken?

I didn't think that the Mirage rework would be too significant but it is much more over-powered then I thought it to be. I played Mirage today and won random trios my second game. In the first game, I was kill leader. His ability to send out a decoy every 10 seconds and control it makes it so there's only a 50% chance to be shot and popping them out during a battle makes it so easy to win. Even good players get disoriented since mirage decoys look believable enough to shoot instead of them standing around like in previous seasons. The ULT is definitely OP. It's available every 60 seconds and using during a close encounter battle makes the battlefield insanely disorienting since the enemy gets so bamboozled they don't know who to shoot fist giving you a clean kill. Even when being shot at from afar using the ULT causes confusion since the enemy has absolutely no idea which one is the real you (Bloodhound and Crypto excluded). Fighting any decent Mirages feels like battling with shadows. Although he may be OP now I'm not complaining too much since he's actually fun to play now.

  • Also, I totally forgot about his Over Powered reviving. It's much better than lifeline.  Why shield you and your teammate while reviving instead of being unnoticed completely.

    @bob123321bam Everthing to me is ok its little trivial if ask me as the ult i hate it now. I want to become invis when i hit it like before i do not care if my ult dudes can follow me in a circle and make me a dead give away of which isnt the decoy. The Q decoy is flawless greatly done. The ult should been left the same as they destroyed it. As for rez thing i think its little unfair we can rez team invis but not self rez. It is mirage rezing himself after all. So should be invis also. I also find the invis rez retardly over powering. 4 games tonight i won as mirage and only because in those 4 games i stuck rez next to people fighing cause they couldnt see us. Way over done imo.
  • @E9ine_AC You just gotta get used to the ult. It's still really good, as it can cause chaos. Enemies will be looking around, wondering which decoy is actually you. I've had a ton of enemies randomly try to shoot my decoys in order to maybe hit me.

    @bob123321bam Well, if you take any damage, he becomes visible for a second, plus there is still the sound of you reviving. I once accurately guessed where a Mirage was rezzing from sound and because he had backed himself into a corner.

    Disagree with that.

    Lifeline can pickup a teammate who has been shot down in the open, when the enemy knows where you are, and has a longbow scoped in on your teammate.

    Mirage is for picking someone up who managed to crawl away in a cluster fight involving 3 or 4 squads.

    And as for Mirage, people need some time to adapt to his new skills, his Ultimate is a prompt for you to use your escape and get away from him, you don't want to engage an ulting Mirage, since Path has nerfed into oblivion, and Wraith is a shotgun pellet magnet, i'm not feeling the idea to constantly nerf anything that is good.

    It'll make the game boring and bland, people need something to make plays with.

    @Wingmannedbro If nobody sees you start the res you'll be invisible during it. I've had several enemies walk right by me while ressing.
