Re: Give Bloodhound his Bow n Arrow!
Full disclaimer: I main Caustic.
When I first heard of Apex Legends, I immediately wanted to play as Bloodhound. But after hearing how relatively weak BH is/was compared to Wraith or Pathfinder, I decided to look elsewhere.
Bloodhounds passive and ultimate are not weak at all. The whole issue of BH being weak revolves around her Q tactical ability.
Like "Lion" in Rainbow 6 Siege, a scan that reviles enemies through walls has vast potential. However, that potential ranges from overpowered to pathetic, depending on many factors. Lions scan started as gamebreakingly strong and he was picked every game. But he got nerfed to the point where no one picks him and his win rate is negative, despite having a global scan.
Bloodhounds scan gives away her position lol
It also lasts like 2 seconds, and has poor / redundant synergy with passive + ultimate.
BH ultimate is amazing, and her passive defines the character. But Q tactical is perhaps the most important ability in terms of character strength and thus pick rate.
A character can have a mediocre ult and still be a good ccharacter, like wraith or pathfinder or lifeline. But god forbid you have a bad tactical.
That being said, changing BHs Q tactical to something good would instantly make her viable.
(Same goes for Revenant btw)
BH having arrows that scan and track would be a huge step in the right direction. Its not only cool, but its a targeted buff that improves her weak point while leaving her core concept intact.
10/10 would recommend again
