revenant should be buffed
I think revenant should be buffed.
1. he should wall climb higher and faster
2. his tactical should do more damage

yeah i would like to see that too
@CrazyPlays54 Again, theres this misconception that his ult is used solely to play aggressive.
His ult is situationally useful, which leaves it up to the revenant player to either be creative in it's use or create the conditions required for it to be useful.
I've used my rev ult to make sketchy revive attempts, giving me a safety net if it back fires, I've placed it behind cover during long range sniping battles to again, create that safety net if you get popped. Or even to just rotate out of a rough combat scenario when you're pinned and pressured with no real positive outcome.
You can use it on the aggressive but its much better for a third party scenarios than squad vs squad, as a breach tactic.
I'm not saying you do, but a lot of people are using this legend completely wrong and that's where the bulk of the problem lies.
After playing 2-3 rounds with him, I realized, that most of my teammates are not even aware of the fact, that they can use his ultimate too.
- @MandatoryIDtag It doesn't change the fact it is a terrible ultimate If you wanted a safety net while reviving, why not pick Gibby? Or Lifeline. If you wanted protection during Long range battles, why not pick Gibby, or Lifeline, or Wattson? If you are trying to leave combat, why not just choose Pathfinder, or Wraith? If you are using it in a third party scenario, you get 100 Hp vs the guys who can actually use shields. They may have low health, sure, but if you wanted to third party, why not just use your shields as backup, then use a legend with escape abilities, rather than get 100 HP, take 8 seconds to medkit up, the run all the way back to the fight, which has either been won, or lost, because you have been gone for around at least 10 seconds. I would prefer it to take forever to charge, and actually be useful, rather than it taking a small amount of time and it being one of the F tier ultimates, right along with Mirage and Octane. #BuffRevenant and #BuffMirage
Revenant's passive is pretty much entirely what makes him strong, even without his other abilities I think having fast crouching and high climbing makes revenant super useful.
His tactical is a weird one as locking abilities isn't as useful here as it is in say Overwatch, abilities are useful but only ever really game changing in specific situations. The ability's use is mostly in disorientation and it's a good way to briefly stop someone from chasing you as the AOE effect lasts for a few seconds.
The ultimate is a total double edged sword, great for endgame when you want to make a push but don't want to risk getting caught out, bad to use willy nilly, and especially bad to use in hectic situations like when the ring is closing in. - I'm glad this ability isn't OP but feel that there could be a little bit more to it, perhaps a 20% speed boost when becoming a shadow, at the cost of seeing entirely in black and white, this would make it more obvious when you are in shadow mode as well.

It's pretty counterintuitive to make an ability that obsoletes other abilities, especially ultimates. That'd just lazy and unimaginative.you mean the way Wattson cancels out Bangalore and Gibby's ult? or Bloodhound (or a digital sight) cancels out Mirage's ult?
Yep, I am not big fan of that system at all and wish they would move away from that rock paper scissors mentally, and instead add stuff that adds more to the gameplay and encourages clever decision making.
I also realize it's easier said than done, but still, like I said before, making things just cancel each other out comes off pretty blend.
