The real reason Horizon has the best win rate?

I dont like to blame stuff for dying but both my normal teammate and I have noticed something-

She is completely silent when pushing teams almost every time. Her tactical seems to make no noise. I even had a game earlier I had no idea she had even used her ultimate until our 3rd said sorry he was stuck in it.

Everyone used to complain about silent pathfinder. I think Horizon is worse.

  • @hayhor I am sure like wraith we will now see a legend nerfed like no other. The Q for me has always made noise the ult as well but im also the one using it so cant speak for others out side of it. I have had her run up on me like no other and been quite silent though. I think her soft landing is doing weird things with foot noises and ult/abil xyz axis is causing sound issues from cetain angels.

    @E9ine_ACBut that is what I am saying. They shouldnt be nerfing. They should be fixing this. With her on a team I hear her. Enemies nope.

  • @E9ine_AC Well I’m a ‘horizon main’ as well so I can account for both sides. When using her I hear everything and when someone uses her ult or tact or lands in front of me, I hear it.

    Que when she’s behind and it’s a whole other deal. Earlier today with hayhor & ferrari we were blindsided by a horizon who leapt up from behind and we didn’t notice one thing until her ult grabbed someone and her teammate was shooting me from behind (this was 5-10m away).

    Same gaming session a horizon used her tact, I saw it, heard it as it was in front but I was shooting her teammate and waiting for her to come down... heard no sound and got blasted from behind while she was still running towards me... until I turned around ofc >.<

    So I think it’s more behind-the-back audio failing or sounds only occurring when not in combat like usual...

    @Koochi-QThe other thing tho when you are her or playing with is you yet the audio quip she says so even if you dont hear her tactical that plays.

  • @hayhor In a game that literally forces you to be the best version of yourself each and every match, its borderline unethical that something as crucial as the audio is so inconsistent.
  • I don’t like to recommend nerfs but Horizon needs one. From what I can tell she came out wrong.

    I believe Horizon was designed to be a team enhancer.  Instead she’s become another Wraith, Pathfinder or Octane, to easy to go running off on your own.

    Meanwhile Crypto and Watson continue to suffer, Rampart is still awful, and team characters are only getting left behind.

    Maybe finally buff the team characters? Finally?

  • @hayhor I would agree that's part of the issue. But her mobility and endless mobility is a real issue.

    The black hole is super OP if you get caught in it. It basically blinds you, traps you or forces you to unload a magazine into it. If you destroy it you'll likely be downed reloading your gun. If you don't destroy it you won't be able to see the enemies. Even if you can see them, you're being moved all over the place by the thing and can't track targets.

    She needs nerfs in multiple ways and her win rate in fights shows it.

    Things they could do, increase the cool down on her tactical. Reduce the amount of movement that's possible when the person is at the top of the tactical so they are more stationary.

    Her ult I'm sort of undecided on.. It's an ult that's either going to be really OP or really useless.

    @Axs5626Sxa5001 Yes especially wearing a headset. I tried micing up last night & when hearing footsteps they were coming from so many directions I couldn't get 1st shot.
