Octane is still over the top.

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.
