Newcastle wall
Was playing with a buddy and came across a team with a Newcastle. He had his barried up, and not knowing, we climbed over it, just to get slowed/electrocuted by it. Like..wtf. It's bad enough tha...

@XxColdFangxX It’s electrified so that you don’t climb over it… that’s the point of it. Also it’s small, you can walk around it. If you want to counter Newcastle, play fuse. Just knuckle cluster everywhere.

I don't own fuse, and you can't go around it when it's set right in the middle of the pathway. (Not without taking a longer route) and if you're squished between two teams, going around isn't an option either.
It's a barrier. Barriers are generally easy things to climb over. Other wise it's a brick wall.
Point still remains that it seems a little excessive. Climbing over it already puts you at a disadvantage of not being able to shoot for a few seconds and even then Wattson has an electrified fence but you can still get through it. IMO if you're gonna take the stun and tiny damage anyway, just punch it. It only takes two melees to break. Newcastle's ult is the least problematic part of his kit, and the part of it that's a problem is the huge mobility he gets. The free sprint speed revives with his 500 HP tactical covering the other side is what's broken. When a lot of high level players start making him meta, that part is gonna need some nerfage.

Does it? I really don't know much about Newcastles abilities.
I know he can move his teammates and rez them, has a res shield, and a barrier that until last night, I didn't know was even electrified.
He just seems excessive in general to me.@XxColdFangxX Yeah, and fortified on top of it. He's a really strong character, he just doesn't see a lot of play yet so not too much complaining happens. I had a great Newcastle random third on my ranked squad last week who knew what he was doing, and it was great! He pulled off at least two clutch revives on me that shouldn't have been nearly so easy. When you get one on your squad and you find a good knockdown shield, give it to him as soon as you can.
- @pandareno1999 The frogman with his ult goes crazy far but he is never going to be favored by high level players. He's got a couple algs teams using him and other teams make fun of them.
