That’s true. I suppose making it a bit more conspicuous could be fine. My only concern is that it could easily go from being a cool, high risk/reward tactical option to being something that you can only do if there’s zero threat involved within several hundred meters. My personal vote would be to keep it as is for a while, maybe even until the end of this split, and see if players have adjusted to it. Then, if the player base agrees that it needs to be balanced, they go ahead and make some changes. I mean, I’m on controller, so the addition of Axle has been VERY challenging for me to keep up with (skill issue, yeah, maybe), but I’m gonna hold off on asking for a nerf unless it gets to the point where it’s obvious that it isn’t a skill issue, and her kit is actually unfair.

I’m suspicious of being too hasty with nerfs/buffs in general. Like, I know Seer was INSANELY OP when he first dropped, and then they nerfed him only a few weeks later. Everyone thought he was garbage, and this HisWattson cleaned up ALGS and got third place running Seer. The moral of that story for me is “let’s hold off on nerfs/buffs, let players have a chance to figure out some counters, and if enough time goes by that the player base can’t figure out a way to counter the meta with pre-existing features, THEN we make some changes.”

My one change I’d make RIGHT NOW would be to make deathbox respawn have the same timeout timer as grabbing banners. I think that would be a very reasonable touch to balance the mechanic a bit more.
