My new personal mission is to eliminate every Seer I find

I absolutely hate Seer.  I've been hunted down by Seer led squads multiple times today & it literally is impossible to escape.  His abilities are such absolute *snip* and I cannot stand it anymore.  I am making it my personal mission to focus & kill every Seer I see to the exclusion of all other legends.  To top it all off his personality is annoying *snip*.  Lil' Nas X should be getting royalties, too.

    LOL, I've been doing that since his release. When the squad roles up and an enemy team with a Seer comes a knocking... I will target the Seer even if it means my death. I know I should prob attack player A or B to survive the fight. But dam if I'm gonna let someone else kill the Seer. I'll sacrifice myself to eliminate any Seer. Killing a Seer is better at this point than the win.

    There's no way to design a good Seer, you can't buff or nerf him into being all right, he should not exist.

    This has nothing to do with the aesthetic of the character and everything to do about game abilities.  Wall hack is a terrible idea to spam.  Bloodhound was enough, and he was an original character so it isn't like the game became different when he got added.  We already have enough direct and soft wall hacks, with everyone from Valkyrie to Fuse (just think about it a second if it isn't apparent why), and other in game things you can do to reveal people.  But Seer is not just wall hack, he's mass area sustained wall hack on easy mode.

    There are few ability themes that will vault you into the broken area, but in any FPS, there's enough history to show when you are treading in that direction.  High mobility abilities, area effect abilities, and so on.  But probably the very top of the list, or at least tied at the top, is knowing where your opponent is in any game where shooting first is what most often has you win.

    You know Respawn has no interest in deleting characters, and isn't very good at admitting mistakes in general.  I don't blame them for not deleting Seer but they could trash his kit and redesign it.  I mean, I say that, but then again, they seem to not be able to pay attention to how to fix things well when they do (ahem, the Ranked system), so at this point it's a rock and a hard place.

    Therefore I have no complaints on hunting Seer, or playing Seer and going aft (just so that 59 players can enjoy 1 less Seer in their game, it's an act of generosity), or whatever other thing players need to do to make them have less Seer in their game.  It's actually necessary to make the game experience better.

     Agreed

  • @HappyHourSumwur I don't really mind Seer. I prioritize killing Lifeline/Newcastle before anyone else. I hate knocking the same people over and over, Lmao! Bloodhound is much more annoying to me, than Seer

    At least with BH, you know you've been scanned, and you also know when its over and can rotate knowing BH doesn't know where you are until the next scan. You also know where BH is and roughly his distance from you every time BH uses the scan. 

    Seer - you have no idea he sees you, and he can always see you with no cool down. His passive doesn't tell you where he is, how far away he is etc... it has no down falls. Again...how can they ban ppl for using wallhacks but than have Seer's abilities? 

    Asinine!

    @NickBeam27 Well, good Bloodhound players will find you, always, by tracks. Really the only way to lose them is off a jump tower or other way that makes a big break in the tracks. But at least the tracks only last like, 2 minutes, I think.
  • Yes, true dat. But I do like that when he scans you, he also gives himself away and he has to attack with that in mind. Although scan meta blows.... BH seems as balanced as can be with reveal abilities being used. 

    BH never shoots me when I come around a corner pre-aim or kills me from behind. My anxiety isn't as heightened as when I know their is an enemy Seer kicking around.
