She's in a good spot now. Legend doesn't need to be absolutely dominant to be called "balanced".
The whole "deployable Gatling gun" thing was a bad character design in the first place. Now, that's it so heavily tight into the lore they can't even completely redesign/remove it. Maybe they will make the Gatling gun AI controlled with poor accuracy in the future just to spot/distract enemies (kinda like Torbjorn turret in overwatch)
I feel like ramparts fundamental flaw is the way other players interact with her, chiefly in solo queues.
You can set up the perfect spot , defensible, clear lines of sight perfectly situated cover, ring advantage....you name it. It'll just go to waste because your team can't stay still for more than 12 seconds lol.
that's true especially in ranked. soloing to diamond with her on kc was miserable because of my random teammates wanting to play like it's pubs or them not wanting to play tactically. whenever something like that happens, they always would say that it's "my fault" or that "rampart mains are trash" for having a slower/tactical playstyle which hurts her value and reputation even more. i'm not saying she's in a bad spot. she's WAY better than she was in season 6. that being said, she needs more to her passive than just being able to use 3 guns. adding a perk to her passive that doesn't rely on rng would be a great start.
@DarthValtrexExactly, its always been my main criticism with static legends. Caustic used to be the exception to the rule as he was more versatile but respawn did a mighty fine job of ruining him lol.
Undoubtedly they're strong legends when you have a cooperative team. You just rarely find that queueing solo.
