Who should I main in S9?

I have a habit of playing lower-tier legends (mainly Revenant and Fuse) whom I find fun to play, but I think in S9 ... sorry ... Legacy ... I need to test myself a bit more and play with a higher tier legend. I just don't know who.

I like BH a lot and he was the first legend I mained, back in Season 4. My only issue is I don't really like his Ult that much. I think it's because in my head as soon everything goes grey and red I start running around as though I'm playing Overwatch and think I've become invincible. I've been trying to crack this habit by picking BH when I don't get Fuse and I'm getting better, but it's still an issue.

I like Bang and Lifeline too but don't find them as fun to play as Fuse, Rev or BH. LL is getting nerfed though. Horizon is okay, but she's getting nerfed too. I can't get my head around Wraith, I'm rubbish as Pathy and I just don't like Gibby. The others ... kind of leave me cold. Wattson, Crypto and Rampart there's too much fiddling about and my aged brain doesn't work that quickly.

Now ... Octane. The only game I like (and play) as much as Apex is Paladins and my main there (Talus) is a mix of Octane, Loba & Revenant (speed & teleportation). Thanks to my Apex 'talents' I can shred with him as his gun has zero recoil and my aim (in Paladins, not Apex) is god-like. You can get 'life steal' hop ups in-game which means some of the damage you do to enemies is added to your current health. This means in 1 v 1 situations I'm practically unplayable (and even if I'm losing I can just teleport out of the fight). So I am thinking with my skillz with speed and the jump pad being a good escape ... playing Octane? My main problem with this is ... it's Octane.

And then there's Fuse. I'm not bothered that his Ult is pooh - I use it defensively as much as I use it offensively and I don't expect to get 6 kills if I drop it on a third party fight. I'm pretty good with the launcher BUT I am really stoked about the double knuckle cluster. I am fiendlshly accurate with it and the thought of popping two of them on the same enemy, or blasting open a door, sticking the second one through then adding a nade for good measure ... I'm salivating. Plus, he suits my playing style and I don't know what to do.

Help?!

    @EdwardDLuffy  Seems like you basically answered your own question. 

    Main octane lol, just maybe have a back up legend to choose from too since you're going to be fighting over him in character selection alot.

    Possibly loba as a second choice? Her tactical is gonna be popping in s9 I think.

    You're basically covering both aspects of your favourite paladins character too then.  P

  • @EdwardDLuffy I say wait for Horizon 2.0 aka Valkyrie and try her. Otherwise... dunno...

    Everyone’s aim in Paladins is godlike cause almost no guns have recoil! Maeve, Zingh & Skye for life!

    Played Paladins years ago for years... good times.
  • @EdwardDLuffy Main who you have fun with.

    One thing about octane is you will likely only get him half the time or less as he is picked by everyone right now. So keep a secondary at the ready.
  • Well, after 8 games with Fuse tonight I have two wins and a KDr of 3 exactly so I am sticking with him for now. Had plenty of really good random TMs tonight though. Practically every game bar one.

    Also got my first double knucklecluster kill. Landed two on a poor Caustic and he went hopping and popping around. My Octane TM helped with a couple of bullets. I then punched Caustic to death ... and got knocked by BH 🙂
