So Octane nerf huh?

Watched one video about it and was reading an article about it, so now he got buffed, and people are enjoying it (I am not talking about the random randos who stim every second) that the boy got a bu...

@1234smile4321 Yeah goodluck w keying into a bang smoke against competent players. So you think Bangalore is good for the game and yet you call her a "joke legend"? That's kinda contradicting don't you think?
And really? Gibby takes a lot of skill? Gibby is as straightforward as it gets. You have a passive 15% damage reduction + you're not slowed by bullets meaning you can reposition much better than other legends. Pair that with a gun shield that pretty much adds 50 more health/shield that regenerates every 9 seconds giving you a really strong tank that can 1 v 1 any legend. It doesn't matter what legend you use, if you're an idiot you will die but the skill ceiling needed to "master" Gibby is a lot lower compared to other legends.

I do agree Horizon and any other mobility legend needs to be toned down but I don't think they're ever going to do that as players love playing high mobility legends. Even the nerf going to Octane won't really affect his ability to be a strong pusher as it's highly unlikely an Octane would push you while low health.

You guys need to stop acting like this game completely renders gunplay irrelevant cause it's not. Gunplay is just as important if not the most important but now requires a lot more skills cause of all the abilities added to the game.

@Daze623Yeah, she's a joke relative to Octane and Horizon, but I think that the game should be balanced around legends being a strong as her. Of course it isn't contradicting.

Gibby doesn't take skill as much as he is only good in the hands of a skilled player. Give gibby to an idiot and he'll just get perforated. But he's far too oppressive in the hands of the competent.

Yeah, people love spammy chaos. It's super fun stomping immobile legends when you're cranked a mile past them. Then everyone runs them. Then the game becomes miserable, unplayable, no brain spam. Totempad is a BLAST until everyone is totempadding.

There's a reason Titanfall didn't survive despite being loved by all. There's a reason Overwatch is at 20k on twitch. It's annoying, brainless spam. If it wasn't run by people who make the very worst decisions possible with regards to designing their game consistently, it'd still be right next to fortnite.

Catapulting yourself a country mile away on a 90 or whatever second cooldown or scaling entire buildings casually makes decisionmaking much cheaper, no?
