Meet Mad Maggie
New video just released!
Forum Discussion
She's a super anti-defensive legend so let's not nerf defensive legends anymore okay? Imagine her ult being placed inside of a small house/structure making every enemy in that small house panic. Since she has a shotgun, she's perfect for attack and breaching those camping or defending a house or small structure. As a guy who uses 3 out of the 4 defensive legends (sorry Rampart) a lot, I might have a small defensive legend vacation for the first weeks of next season.
Some notable screenshots from the trailer.
Pierced through Gibby bubble
Wallhacks. Respawn just gave up fixing the audio so every new legend since S8 has a scan ability now.
I know that we should hold on to our final judgement of Maggie before the actual legend drops but does anyone else feel that Maggie might be OP? Aside from being an anti-defensive legend, Bangalore mains should be worried too with her smoke being more useless every time respawn drops a legend.
- @Cheese9Man Like I mentioned, if they didn't do a balance pass on EVERY legend to account for the Wallhack Escalation Protocol, they did it wrong.
We can't wait for a mid-season balance patch to fix this.
Wraith needs a directional indicator to go with her passive.
Rampart needs SOMETHING for her walls to still be useful (maybe the base is at least indestructible).
Lifeline needs a reason to live outside of Arenas.
Revenant needs a way to actually be... you know, a threat, without the Revtane Combo (he's a lone killer, why does he need a team to shine?)
PATHFINDER STILL NEEDS AN ACTUAL PASSIVE!
If Bang's smoke is not changed to Electric Smoke this next Tuesday, I ain't playing this season. I like to be able to rotate between all the legends, not stuck playing the 3 that, "are Meta."- @Kyldenar 100% agree with everything that you’ve said.
Saw some early leaked gameplay videos and here are some observations. My observations aren’t 100% accurate so yeah.
- Maggie - the run speed with the shotgun on hand seems to be as fast as running without a gun. Not as fast as an Octane stim or Bang’s passive. Didn’t see the scan ability since the video was in the Firing Range but I think the scan is clear in the trailer.
- Maggie - the tactical is kinda busted ngl. Its damage output is comparable to a thermite not Fuse’s KC. Did 160 damage to a dummy in firing range if you just stood there and tanked the tactical.
- Maggie - ultimate does 20 dmg and a knock back. The speed boost is the highlight here. Your whole team basically gets an Octane stim speed boost. In the video, the ultimate lasted around for maybe 20 seconds. If you get out of the AOE of the ult, the speed boost is obviously gone. Can’t tell how big is the AOE.
We might be seeing Seer 2.0 when it comes to being OP on launch day.
- Crypto - you can send the drone to go forward for only 50-75m in front of you. You will get hit by the EMP since the drone can only go so far. This buff won’t increase crypto’s pick rate in the long run that much but this Crypto buff is another indirect nerf to Caustic and Wattson. I suggest not picking Wattson or Caustic for the mean time because of the gas nerf, Maggie, and this Crypto buff.
Other stuff
- As expected RE 45 with the hammerpoint rounds is extremely busted!
- PUNCH BOOSTING REMOVED
Apex - the Wallhack legends!
