S5 Meta: place your bets now ladies and gentlemen

So, the finalized skillset for Loba is out, Hitbox size can also be inferred from the reveal trailer gameplay footage to be medium sized, the rework changes for Mirage and Lifeline are also revealed....

I have the perfect flanker group. This’ll be the meta, mark my words. First Loba! Second Pathfinder! Third Revenant. Think about it. You think they’ll fix the audio? Probs not so pathfinder footsteps are gonna be nonexistent as usual. Revenant is made not to be heard so no surprises there. Lastly Loba with her teleport like it’s Portal will only be heard by those paying attention or when there’s no gunfight or Wraith used in the same way (remember, gunfights drown out noise).

So you can use the Loba Transport as a bait to get 1 or 2 enemies to check it out. Have the Simalcrums stationing outside to blitz attack the investigator, then either rush inside stealthily with Rev and Path, wait for the teammates to start running towards their mate and Loba Teleport behind them to sandwich the duckers and kill the team. If you have Wraith, she obviously can’t teleport inside so it’s another strategy.

If not that meta, then it’ll be gibby (he’s gonna get buffed likely xD), path & loba aka the ‘tanky flanky’.

@Koochi-Q Yeah, I remember at the start of season 4 when I started maining Rev, a WHOLE lot of people left as soon as I picked him. Probably going to be the same with Loba.

Then of course there are going to be those people that pick Loba and then leave after all the legends picks are finalized just to troll people.

Also, this will affect the firing range meta. No longer will you and your friend have to race down to the bottom to see who get get the Devotion the fastest. Now I can just teleport.

ANOTHER thing: I wonder if her braclet can bounce off of jump pads, like thermites, arc stars, and frags. I would assume so because every throwable does this.

@shadowninja5044 That happens every time so dont worry bout it. For 2/3 days that’ll be the case. But seeing how powerful she looks, ppl actually might main her right of the bat.

For Rev on first day I think I had like 7 games where nobody picked him (I played like 13 hours that day XD) because I wasn’t paying attention and in previous game I didn’t have him for instance (cause I already knew he was gonna be my second main). 7 games out of the 80+ xD

Good question, go test it I’d say but likely by the end of the day YT will be filled with all answers. Like ‘will throwing bracelet set of Caustic’s gas’, ‘can you throw through watson’s gates’ and so on.
