Question about Conduit

Question

So again, I only saw the short clip displaying once quickly each of the 3 abilities. I noticed when highlighting the tactical ability... that IMO, It looked like another hit the button and it auto locks on the closest enemy without having to do anything. Kind of like Ballistics' aimbot tactical. Just sort of look roughly (sort of / not really) in the general direction of an enemy and wala... let the Dev given aimbot do the work for you.

Now, I don't know if Conduit's will … but from the trailer, It sure looked that way. If so, I will give up all hope on the Devs working on this game. I am more than tired of this wallhack/aimbot meta that these devs continue to think belongs in a competitive shooter game. A tactical ability should not in any way/ shape or form, mimic that of real game hacks and cheats. Where is the skill needed to use these abilities. Look at Maggie's ult... If you don't aim that thing perfectly... its useless. But Ballistics and possibly Conduit's are effortless and require, no aiming and no skill - nothing. Just hit the button.

Ridiculous.

Heya&nbsp;@ComicBookGuy2727&nbsp;Conduit doesn't have any abilities that locks onto enemies, her kit is mostly centered around her teammates:Here's a short clip highlighting all the abilities:&nbsp;https://youtu.be/DpcdneQmURMA lot of internal footage has already been released, so there might be some other videos that explain it a bit better.But yeah, this ability is pretty much lock-on, giving temporary shields to the selected teammate within range, even through walls.

Hey to all... thank you very much for the information. I clearly saw it all wrong, and I am a bit relieved. Thanks again to all that replied!&nbsp;: )&nbsp;

@ComicBookGuy2727 Lots of youtubers have released actual gameplay videos. Her ultimate doesn't lock on to enemies at all. It is just a big instant fence.

Watching the various gameplay trailers of Conduit it looks like ability wise she is a cross between Octane &amp; Wattson with the temporary speed boost of Octane &amp;&nbsp; protective fencing of Wattson.Respawn usually knock the trailers out of the park &amp; raise expectation levels for new characters in the upcoming seasons but having seen Conduit &amp; her abilities I was hugely underwhelmed because I just think she seems like another character with similar abilities to others &amp; doesn't offer enough originality to make her unique.Having yet another character with similar abilities also just plays into the hands of cynics like myself that believe the real reason why Respawn have slowed the process of bringing new characters into the game isn't because of the over-saturation of characters&nbsp; in the game but because they are running out of abilities to give new characters.

@Redmattgame&nbsp;They def ran out, plan is pretty much add movement or passive scan to a kit "it's been this way for awhile imo" Even rev rework has both.
