Re: Mirage's ult is awful now

His new ult is excellent...

For now.

It was the same with his tactical when it first hit, a lot of people got bamboozled but it didn't take long for people to catch on. His new ult and decoys are more convincing, but I can already see some differences between real and fake Mirage, and others will catch on too. At least with the old invis you could walk right between an enemy team and get up right behind them if you were careful.

Still, the new ult hasn't been out long and I can't wait to see what some pro bamboozlers can do with this.

@Extremejinks I bamboozled and enemy pathfinder and octane who downed me. Had my decoy matching my movements when I was down, so it took them like 40 seconds to realize that it was me.

@Extremejinks The one big difference I've noticed when playing as Mirage is that the decoys don't heal when you do, but that's a minor thing.
The only other way I can think of is to watch all of the decoys and see if their movements don't match what they should do (example: watching a decoy slide up a hill and maintain more speed than it should.) This is just an idea though, and it'd be difficult to do this. Plus, as a Mirage, you could always just pretend to be a decoy and run into a wall or something like that.

I disagree.
Initially I would have agreed, as I tried using it similarly to his previous ult and it didn't work out well.
It's gone from more of a defensive / flee, to one you actually have to actively and intelligently use.
I'm using it more commonly in an offensive manner, a superbamboozle!
I have however once used it to incredibly escape a 1 v 3... Mirage ended up spitting out an endless stream of bamboozle quips as i took cover and enemies were on a treasure hunt for the real one.
For context, I'm a player who really loves invisibility abilities, but i approve this change. Could perhaps do with .5 to 1sec longer cloaking.

For some reason I do better a Mirage...can't explain...just need to fill a canyon with echoing quips when he pops the ultimate.

@1ronKeys Actually currently invisibily will hurt the user. For keen eyed players a mirage that pops out later then the other is noticable.
