I think it has to do with Octane's abilities. They see that he can stim to go faster, so they think they can just rush a squad and stim away if things get bad. But it just isn't that simple.
@AcidicSoda44031 exactly this....octane players seem to think they move quicker than bullets. :,)
@MandatoryIDtag exactly, I can say the same for other legends. You have no idea how many Bangalores I have seen using the smoke needlessly, even when nothing around them is happening. They somehow think its safer to loot or open Care Packages that way. Which is understandable if they are actually getting shot, but otherwise, what's the point? Honestly, I think that only attracts attention, and its annoying.
There are a lot of bad Octane players out there. And I see the biase in picking Octane because he's a character that can be used to play all alone in a Team game. So I don't like the character in general.
But there have been a few really good Octane players out there, and often it's hard to tell right away, because they could be out there running on their own. But they don't push the zone away from their team mates, making other players have to play badly to keep up. Rather good Octanes are always mobile, they can operate farther from the team, but don't selfishly force others to push. I've seen the great ones rescue the whole team, either before or even after their down, using the advantage of mobility to flank and engage by surprise, without sacrificing their mates in the process.
