Octane is still over the top.
You guy should consider removing the passive health regen from Octane, then switching the resource used to move fast to armor and giving no passive regen at all. The speed move should be used strateg...

@Lampwrecker2 The health regen, while nice to have does not mean you don't need health heals. One thing to remember is that every time one uses their stim it takes less damage to kill them.
@Lampwrecker2 Out of interest have you tried stim spamming as octane in his current state?
The regen certainly isn't quick enough to negate the health lost so there are actually very few scenarios where stim spam would be the correct course of action. 🙂
I'll agree it can be annoying to deal with but I wouldn't consider it unbalanced personally.
@MandatoryIDtag @hayhor Guys he posted a video made in April 2021 so he clearly doesn't know that Octane's been nerfed lol.
Maybe I also have an unpopular opinion but he is not over the top.
What Octane is, and Pathfinder, and Wraith, and Ash and Mirage, are legends that people biase because you don't have to really work with anyone at all to use them, combined with that in any shooting game, getting not hit is the best defense. Bangalore is all right at it, Loba even better on her own but doesn't have an R1 that really matters as much in combat.
Any character that does not need a team mate to work, even in a team game, is going to get all the attention.
It's another reason why Respawn is off the deep end about abandoning their defensive characters. And this is aside from all the grief that scan characters cause.
Octane is fine, but his most important ability? 'I totally ignore what you are doing, team mate, and run off on my own!' It's really his second passive ability.
