Average og revenant main:
jokes aside you said everything I wanted to say and the fact that you got a dev response is quite something. Revenant (at least for me) was always a blood hungry assassin who would shut down his enemies and try to murder them countless times and his old kit made that obvious. Now he feels like just another path or octane and his ult isn’t creative at all especially when you compare it to summoning a totem that could make you AND your teammates immortals. Not everyone understood his abilities and playstyle and that is FINE because different people have different tastes and their preferred ways to play the game I guess but never in a million year should you rework someone who has a special playstyle and completely replace his abilities for other people tastes.. Also (I know this is a long post but hang on with me pls) we NEVER saw his full potential because he was reworked just before skill trees and now that the assault class is getting buffed I wonder how rev would do in the current meta
"long post" nah, talk your talk! and you're correct. it's like getting dinner. some characters are a quick "order in" meals, some are a "pop in the microwave" meals, and some (like Revenant) actually need to be prepared for you to enjoy it for what it is... i'm thinking about cooking right now, pardon my analogy haha. life is always in motion so who knows, maybe Revenant may get some well deserved attention: old kit, assault class, a buff to get him caught up... they could do a huge REVival for Revenant
The way I think about it they could make two versions of him (the current and the old one) because scrapping the current one would be a waste tbh I don’t want them to remove content and repeat the same mistake but also I don’t know if not knowing which revenant is the enemy revenant would be a problem maybe make a small indicator like different sprint animation or footsteps sound I don’t think it’s hard to pull off at all
that thought has occurred to me too... has Shadow Revenant been "revealed" yet? Shadow Revenant, that presumably has the same Skills as OG Revenant? but with wall run as well? come on, it's right been here the whole time! "Rework Revenant, make him a skirmisher, then officially bring Shadow Revenant, an assault legend, into the Apex Games"???
