Revenant is still viable, right?
I’m hearing a lot of “Revenant is kind of useless” in the Feedback channels, but Revenant is still pretty viable if I’m not mistaken.

We were witnessed how less popular champions like Gibby and Caustic with a proper buff changed the meta. Unfortunately in case of Octane, Crypto, Bloodhound and Revenant, none of the previous buffs had the similar effects. I still believe Revenant especially needs a better escape/hold/defensive ability than just climbing higher, to be able to compete better with others.
- @Alphabets Maybe his silence could obscure vision more. Would add some versatility to his tactical as well.
- @Sir_Named If you play with a really good rev he is quite viable for pub games and lower to mid levels of ranked. By really good I mean they use their tactical by blocking doors and always hitting wraiths with it. Then they use their ultis in the most perfect spot.
- @Alphabets Bloodhound is quite good now. That huge scan and hold it has really does the job. He will never be upper levels of ranked good tho.
If Crypto and/or Bloodhound receive the ability to use beacons, 100% they will be competitively viable. Crypto probably will be picked instead of pathfinder
- @Sir_Named He is probably the second worst legend after Octane. So soon he will become the worst.
But I think it would be quite easy to buff him without making him broken. @hayhorHis ult is one of the worst because you have to heal after using it. It is only good for peaking and gather information, but other legends can do that better.
The only really good thing about him is his passive, but because of the fun factor and not because of that much viability.
And his tactical... well at least it is a troll ability so that is something.- @TommiSpageti very good point, beacons should be accessible to all "trackers", they can replace Pathfinder passive with somthing more specific then.
- @budzai You do not have to heal if you have a good shield and know you did a lot of damage to the opponent. You still have a full shield plus half your health. The key is you didnt become a shadow and get obliterated immediately.
As I have said, I have played with really good revs and his tactical and ults made a huge difference in our fights.
The biggest issue I see with rev is that monster hitbox. So, to summarize.
Revenant is fairly situational, he can be pretty good, can also be okay.
He’s viable, especially in the right hands, but he isn’t the best.
His passive is useful sometimes, but could be a bit better.
His tactical is only good on certain enemies, or as a mini area denial thing.His ult is helpful, although not the best.
Did I get it right?
