So Octane nerf huh?

I got almost 6k. with her, pretty much i get them in Season 4(second half), and the first part of Season 5, and then i`m just coming for a day or two to see how i`m doing(i`m grinding hard on Kovaak), but i pretty much stopped played seriously half at the Season 5, exactly at the lost Treasures update.
Just can`t take too much *****.

That being said i watch regularly some of the fair pro that are left, like ShivFPS, Hakis, and few others.

BTW i didn`t even knew her smoke was nerfed this season. It wasn`t intentional, but she is still f******.

But still i can tell you a thing or two for Bangalore.

And as i said she is useless in competition and in high ranked. She pretty much gave you nothing.

Smoke will actually hurt you more, than will give you a benefit for anything.

ShivFPS was playing some tournament with her, cause he refuse to switch, and there was moments were his smoke pretty much hurt him and his teammates, and diffq wasn`t happy about it. Tho diffq is an emotional diva, he was right in this situation.

I`m strictly talking about Competition. On High Ranked she is still useless.

On Pub, if you have good fundamentals on mechanical skills and good thinking and game sense, every legends is viable.

Now if you ask me, is she a Rampart level legend ? Definitely no. She is better. She is better than Fuse and Loba too for sure. Better than current Wattson as well.

As far as other legends, its depends how you look at it, straight as a 1vs1 or solo, or what she brings to the table both for you and for your team.

Cause if we take everything in the consideration, the rest of the legends(can`t say anything about current state of Caustic tho) are pretty much more useful than her, except for Mirage. But if you look at the solo department, he can quite easily trick you, and his ult can win you a fight or two, tho he brings nothing to the table, and in a team game, yeah she is definitely better than him without a doubt.

But the rest are just offering way better tools.

Gibraltar for example are just a superior version to her. He is doing everything she can do, but he can do it like 10x time better.

Better ult, better tactical, and probably better passive as well. Lifeline with her auto-revive brings a lot to the team, Horizon is busted all over. Crypto is bringing more to the table, and actually he was used quite a bit at the Competitive stage. Bloodhound is 100x time more useful and superior in everything.

And at one point Bangalore and Bloodhound was 100% on par, and right now he/she is so so much better than her.

Revenant pretty much shut you up, and his ultimate is super useful, if you know what you are doing, same as his passive, but most people don`t know how to play him. He was actually as well used quite a bit in the competitive stage.

Now he is being tested with Octane, and its a solid option.

Wraith is superior, an Wraith pretty much will get buff in the next patch, at least her LP will be gone, and probably buff to her tactical, and she will be at the top once again.

Pathfinder with no LP is better, and Octane is meta for a lot of players now.
