Octane, if anything, needs a nerf right now. He's the single most popular pick I see, with Pathfinder being a close second.
It doesn't take much of a brain to run Octane, unless you're figuring out how to stick around your team, which most people don't do. His kit kind of allows for that. He could use a Wraith like nerf.

I think you have no idea what octane legend is. To argue about this class you need at least some experience with it. Octane isin't even close to most picked class. Hes pick chance is 7,8% wraith is 22% and pathfinder is 20,7%. And if you think it doesn't take much of a brain to run octane I can already tell that you're new in this game or just bad as heck.

TOTALLY AGREE with @PROInD3.
I am a main as Octane and I believe it takes more than most legends the skill to do what Octane does (or at least what I do) Like:
-Grabbing Respawn banners
-Running from a whole squad shooting at you
-Losing hp every stim use
-use your jump pad as an escape path or to even bamboozle squads
His hit might be easy to understand, but in my opinion, it's the hardest to use.

@031567 I don’t see how losing hp from an ability is skillful.

It does take skill to use Octane, but it isn’t really the hardest. His tactical doesn’t exactly have a high skill ceiling, it’s just “ooh I go vroom vroom”. Whereas Pathfinder has a lot of potential with his tactical, and it really depends on how you use it.
Running from a whole squad isn’t much more difficult with octane than it is with other legends. (In general.) Many legends don’t even have movement abilities.
Grabbing Respawn banners also isn’t a much more skillful task with Octane. It’s just easier, which is why Octane is good for it.
All in all, good skill character but not the hardest to use.

@Sir_Named Maybe I over phrase just a bit, but when you are doing half this stuff, your the one taking the risk with your health, rather than a simple grapple with pathfinder that sarcastically flies you around the map. With Octane, there is a sacrifice and it takes skill to adapt to properly use it. Better?

BTW How did this go from were not being heard to Octane?
I have several other topics on Legends Improvements and were talking about Octane on not being heard.
Idk just thought of it and it didn't seem right, but oh-well.

@031567 That is much better.
Although the sacrifice is just like 10 health.
And the skill is basically just advanced running and movement.
But you make a good point.
