@MandatoryIDtag I think if they wanted to buff her up a bit it should really focus on closing some of those counters. It's like her smoke is great when there is no Bloodhound and no one on the enemy team has a digital threat. Similarly the ult is really solid if there is no path, wattson or Horizon to get them out of it.
I would not want to see an entire rework on her though, just small tweaks to improve the skill set she has.

@DarthValtrex Maybe they could add a thing where Bangalore can see through her own smoke ? Or enemies move slow when in her smoke ?
Because so many people use Bloodhound these days (specially in ranked) it makes her tactical ability not very effective.
Bangalore used to have 3 smokes available once upon a time, I think 3 is a good amount, but they either need to Buff Bangalore (so she can be used in Ranked) or nerf Bloodhound (so he can't see in Bangalore smoke)

- DarthValtrex5 years agoHero (Retired)@johnmiceter Enemies already move slower in her smoke because they are running into walls. Heck i trapped myself in a building with a blodhound in Ult.. Popped smoked I hear that bloodhound ult off and was running into the wall in a full on panic trying to get out of that room.
I think if bang could see enemies through her own smoke it would make her really OP. That would be a huge buff and she's already a decent legend. So it would send her way over the top.
If they made smoke more effective at hiding from Cryptos drone and bloodhound in ult it would help a ton.
I think buffing her in general is going to be really difficult for devs to accomplish without making her OP. She's right on the edge of being meta/top tier. So even small buffs could really push her over the top. - 5 years ago@DarthValtrex Yeah I've killed myself so many times from her smoke it's not funny lol.
Its just if they dont do something for her, she will never be useful in Ranked because so many run Bloodhound. I just want to be able to use her in ranked and for her to be useful. No use smoking places if Bloodhounds are running around everywhere scanning you, because the only one it hurts then is yourself haha. - DarthValtrex5 years agoHero (Retired)@johnmiceter I play her ranked and I do decent with her up into platinum. I think I stall in platinum in part because I'm playing a mid-tier legend trying to go up against top tier legends who are of similar skill as me. When it comes to PUBS it's fine, I can easily make up for what Bangalore doesn't have with my skill.
Shiv took Bang all the way up to Master no issue. So I view it as, I can do this I just have to improve a bit. I know the areas I can improve to, it's my CQC movement and hip firing more.
The thing is, when I play her I rarely feel like I'm at a disadvantage to other legends. I only feel that way when I go up against a bloodhound or when the enemy is running a digital threat But other legends can have their abilities countered by other legends abilities. For example Crypto make things difficult for Wattson and Caustic.
That's why I think any buffs to her should be very minimal, I don't think it would take much to make her competitive in the top tiers. I think in Season 6 I randomly got matched with one of the top Bang players on console. He mowed down everyone and everything he saw. - 5 years ago@DarthValtrex I can definitely relate to being lost in smoke and just running into walls... If nothing else, maybe have it to where she can at least see the outlines of walls and obstacles easier than other legends. I don't know how exactly that would work out (like, maybe she has special contact lenses or something? IDK), but it would definitely help her kit.
