@apostolateofDOOMThe zipline thing doesnt make any sense to me. Who cant jump on a zipline?
The only thing I can think is they dont want pros using it in tournaments at the end game. But it is a bit silly to make a change this big just for that. And honestly the pro tournaments I've seen it done I thought it was quite cool.
As a caustic main I dont like the barrel thing because the best way to penetrate a caustic or wattson controlled house is to throw traps through the windows.
@hayhor I don't understand it either. If they don't want you to do it indefinitely then I can understand the logic behind it (although I 100% don't agree with it) but if you can't jump, bounce and manoeuvre for at least 10 secs as much as you want then this decision was totally braindead and made by someone who clearly doesn't play the game often, if at all.
@Koochi-Q I agree with you they're accommodating new players to the best of their ability but pushing people away who are already having fun and enjoy the game is not a great way for them to invite their friend and increase the player base, which clearly shows in current player numbers.
Rev buff probably isn't as drastic as it's made out because if it's to far then it gives opponents time to rez and heal before that second push. Although granted was a welcome change.
Same with Lifeline. I get the independent revive ''buff'' but how useful is she to revive 2 when you generally only pick people up after a fight (gaining a few seconds at most) or when a 3rd party distracts. Unless of course you're lucky.
Now has zero combat utility. Even with her tactical cd reduction, the amount of times that's useful is situational as you have to be stationary to get full use out of it which in a ''fast paced shooter'' or higher ranks at least, is not that often.
Imo, Octane was the only positive from all this and not to stereotype but most of those that play him are stoners.. xD
I do this for the rush, the fans are just a bonus.
