Octance Buff v2, Jump-pad-Hover!

Okay here is a cool buff idea for Octane!

Give Octane ADS hover.

Just like in Titanfall 2.

ADS hover was greay for thowing off enemy players ability track and shoot you. This allowed player throw off others just enough to surprise them with your movements.

When Octane ADS, while in air, Octane hovers for short duration. 7 Seconds

By ADSing midair Octane can hover!

Rather he is falling or jumping.

This can work with jump-pad to great effect..

When Octane squad uses a jump-pad,

they receive the hover ability until they touch the ground.

This will allow Squads to use Octanes jump-pads to become jump high then ADS to become Airborne and hover a short duration. 

Hover 7 seconds.

This will allow players to create cool aerial fights.

And Hover across large Aerials.

This will be a cool buff that adds something new and fun to the game.

The Jumpad Hover ability can be used by all players, squad member and enemies.

Please add you opinions and thoughts.

    I don't know chief, seems like a bad idea

    I assume they would hover in the same general area without being able to change direction and such, if so, boom easy kill

    Target practice for days
  • @iBlockHeadYeah, thats what makes it balanced.

    The hover would have manuverbility. They would be able to hover left, right, foward, and back. Until they release Ads or run out of seconds.

    The speed doest matter, as long as it get in the game, that can be tweaked later. but it would be fun.

    Truly this buff would act as an extension of the jump-pads range. Giving players the ability to keep their gained hight while being able to shoot. Or allow players to fall and hover at the last second to throw enemy players tracking off.

    It can lead to you becoming a sitting target, if used poorly.

    @hhnbbfggty66 Meh, not keen on the idea but I see where you’re coming from.

    It can work legendwise, cause they all have their jetpack thingies, BUT the one big thing preventing this, also legendwise, is that octane likes speed. Hovering means mostly stationary which he doesn’t do.
