New video just released!

@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 In my experience the long range plan doesn't work that often. If you get in a long range fight that goes on forever you basically invite the rest of the lobby to the fight. The first week Maggie will be in every single team so you will die to her abilities a lot. If she is good, her pick rate will ensure this continues. We will see tho.

@Cheese9Man Cooldown? Well, I can guarantee you it's gonna be lower than Lifeline's game-changing ult.

@DYSPROssium The video shows the ball bouncing off a wall and redirecting. My guess is it keeps going until it runs out of momentum or runs into something immovable with low bounce.My question is if you roll it up hill will it come back? Could make some cool plays where you roll it uphill at an angle and have it come down on a team. haha

So the ultimate leaves a trail of pads that if you walk over them you get a small speed boost.

Now the question is, does the ball stop at the first small bump or can it bounce in a corner?

@DYSPROssium Just like bowling ball, It's hard to hit exactly where you wanted to be, I think we should able to trigger the explosition so we simply need to roll them in then trigger it to explode. If you have wattson pylon, it should block it. Fence should slow it down.

What if it keeps going until it hits a lowest point and just stops?
Just let it rip on a high area in Storm Point. Then be confused 10 minutes later when you get a kill or assist.

@DYSPROssium she looks really good. she can highlight people that she shoots at, speed boost with shotguns closing the gap, her drill can penetrate through buildings and items with ease, (rip defensive legends?) and her ult can also give her a speed boost.

Maggie hard counters the defensive legends so I'll probably just go to my second main seer and just grind with him for a week till the hype for her dies down. (ps. please buff seer and bring back his Circle Ellipses)

@soccerking122 Yep, no reason to play any defensive legend now.

How could I have missed that! @hayhor

Even though it bounces of the wall, it seems to still have a decent amount of speed. They probably made it bouncing up and down in order to avoid it to turn on every small ledge.

But going up? It would be kinda weird if it didn't go up, since then you are always at a disadvantage with Maggie when you fighting against a higher positioned team...

Great, another crutch legend. Woohoo.
