Why is Octane still so bad?
Why hasn’t he been reworked yet? Every time I see an Octane on my team I die a little inside literally every ability he has is outshined by someone else. stim for a quick getaway/ faster travel? B...
Octane is in a great place right now in my opinion. if you dont be aggressive non stop on him then he is being played wrong. Those normally who say a class needs buffs (Not meaning you( typically dont even play the legend to its fullest potienal, I can easily average 1k to 3k a game on him anywhere from 2-13 or so kills , He is very fun very viable and in a great spot.
I'm a Lifeline main but I play with a friend that mains Octane.
I usually take on the leading role in the squad (mostly duos) and in a way use my squad as an extention of my own abilities.
Playing as Lifeline I'm limited to being a strong support character to my team when things go sour. Using my squads abilites when I feel it would be of use in our favour helps the squad breathe and focus on wiping enemies while I do most of the organizing and structuring of play.
Back on topic, I feel like Octanes ultimate has saved us a few dozen times to make him a valuable choice for the sort of playstyle that me and my team often have.
