Meet Mad Maggie
New video just released!
Forum Discussion
From the sounds of it, Mad Maggie is designed to flush people from cover and then shoot them like a rabbit hunter. But most of her kit is based on close range engagement.
So, the answer is the thing the community hates. Attrition at long range with sniper/marksman weapons.
So, she's going to at least seem OP because the community hates to change and adapt tactics.
This lack of adaptation is why even though I get consistently better results than my pubs teams by dropping just outside Fragments when they insist on dropping there and then rotating in after I have {gasp, shock} guns, every team always insists on dropping there to die because they don't realize they are not the next incarnation of AECU or whatever his name is. Don't care one whit about streamers for this game other than the dumb ideas they put in the average and below average player's heads.
@Kyldenar @Cro_Pittt We’ll have to see at the start of the season to really know. Like what I’ve said, all these observations were just from a guy in a firing range shooting at dummies so obviously take it with a grain of salt. These are initial impressions only. Let’s also take into account how other legends would play with or against Maggie. In season 8, everyone loved Octane’s well deserved buff for the jump pad on paper in the patch notes only to realize people found out that if you pair that new jump pad with Revenant, it was overtly OP. Rampart in the trailers with a freakin mini gun also seemed strong and we all know what happened to that. Same thing happened to Seer. It seemed that he’s gonna be “okay” only to find out that having 20 Seers with flash bangs, 10 damage, silence, and scan with life bar was OP.
Also I can’t upload the videos here because the guy who leaked it is sus. Not a datamine nor an inside leak video but more of hacking the servers to get inside the test servers with the S12 update. But if you search for it on youtube, you can clearly find the videos.
Just what I expected. Maggie’s ult can be very dangerousnin small compact spaces like small house and this case, inside Gibby’s bubble. The huge speed boost the ult gives your team inside the bubble would be great. https://twitter.com/nicewigg/status/1489719939082584064?s=21
I can also see the ult be useful in crossing areas with no cover just for the speed boost. Does anyone know how fast the cooldown is for her abilities?
Confirms some our speculations in these videos. Kandy made a great point that Maggie’s passive ability scan is great when you’re peaking so you would have that wall hack pre-fire advantage. Noko said that the ult also gives you that bangalore stun effect if it hits you.
- @Cheese9Man Cooldown? Well, I can guarantee you it's gonna be lower than Lifeline's game-changing ult.
