Low profile nerf is too much
Low profile legends now take way too much damage making them frustrating to play, I don't even know how to respond to this RIDONKULUS change. Buff weak legends (octane, mirage, crypto) instead of ba...

@SpaceHamster1991 Ok even if she is the fourth best legend in the game that nerf seems over the top.
Crouch spamming is a skill (not a difficult one but still a skill), by making it less effective you basically lower the game's skill ceiling and that is NEVER a good thing.
In my original post I tried to point out that it would feel so much better if Respawn decided to fix the balance by buffing trash legends instead of nerfing the better ones.
Mirage and Octane mains get to be happy cause they can finally do something, and Wraith/Lifeline/Pathfinder/Wattson mains don't feel like they get sh*t on every patch.
Look what they did to bloodhound to bring him back in the game, now they need to do the same to the other ones. But that would require more effort than just updating low profile legends :D

@AbyssloliI def agree that low tier legends should get buffed, but the bloodhound buff didnt put him above the low profile top tiers, it put him right below them (partially due to the fact that he has a watermelon for a head). The tier list before this patch IMO was Pathfinder, Gibby, Wraith, Wattson, Bloodhound/Crypto, Bangalore/Lifeline, Caustic, Mirage, Octane, Revenant. I don't see this further low profile nerf causing a huge shift in those top four, as their skills are incredibly effective and fill every role e.g Path/Wraith for point disengage and mobility, Gibby for healing and protection, Wattson for locking down an area completely. Basically I think only Lifeline is gonna really be affected by this (In terms of viability, this obviously hurts Wattson in a 1v1 as well), as her kit was in direct competition with Gibby's already and wasn't good enough. Just how I see things playing out, but I could be wrong.
