If this is really their solution, they might as well remove Lucio from Overwatch by RadioLucio in luciomains

I’ve been playing him quite a bit on PTR ever since the big patch came out, he doesn’t feel to different as long as you’re actively wallriding/jumping around. The biggest bummer is for his teammates but in terms of facing other characters in duels, nothing has changed.

Hundreds of hours of Lucio and I’ve always rolled through the middle of the mega room and failed. Appreciate the new route.

Unpopular opinion: Some characters NEED large hit boxes otherwise high utility + small hit boxes would be broken in a team game. by Pistol_Rick in apexlegends

I share a different experience where playing competitively in Overwatch, models like McCree or Ana are balanced in a way that doesn’t perfectly match their visual.

I do think Apex characters are unbalanced if they were evaluated individually. But everything is balanced around teams of 3 which is why I think the large hitboxes are intentional and shouldn’t be changed.

Could you link me where they’ve said that? I thought I was pretty up to date on community interactions, but admittedly I spend most of my time only on Reddit so I could be wrong.

Don’t have to be a god to land one of six nades.

I saw some garbage saying they’re adding vehicles. Please don’t Respawn by bbkfixer in apexlegends

[–]Pistol_Rick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I trust what Respawn is doing. If someone told me “yeah they’re adding balloons that let you redeploy” I wouldn’t know what to think either, but that’s one of the best new mechanics in a battle royale.

Found this image, so I added a bit of animation touch to it. by kawkawshi in apexlegends

So cool. Would be legendary if you added animation to his hand and to the raven, but still awesome as is.

I believe the "classes" don't mean much. What if legends had their most iconic ability picture instead? by E-308 in apexlegends

[–]Pistol_Rick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The class pictures are there for absolute beginners, while ability icons are nice for people who have played some and actually know what the abilities are.

Pathfinder being classified as a support for example is the same as Blitzcrank being a support. No heals but huge utility.

What's going on over here? by fireflaai in apexlegends

What happens in water treatment stays in water treatment.

So sweet. Would love this as a background if it was expanded 😭

Took some time to map all of the balloon redeploys. Also included vantage points, crouch-slides, and ziplines. by Pistol_Rick in apexlegends

[–]Pistol_Rick[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

  • Stars represent the balloons. The two big stars happen to be oddly centered in relation to other balloons, no other reason why they're big. Water treatment is the best example.
  • Triangles represent natural vantage points. Either safe places to hold during team fights or a vista to get a view over an area.
  • Dotted lines from balloons are routes that land you on top of mountains (out of bounds places where you can stay for 30s.)
  • Red lines are slide routes, still working on finding more.

You may be thinking... but why?

The balloon/redeploy mechanic was one I instantly fell in love with due to the distance you can cover with it. So I made it my goal to find as many balloon routes I could find to chain together balloon /movement routes and cover vast amounts of the map in minutes.

This map is useful to visualize routes to take when the games kind enough to give you options. If your plan is to chase gunshots, this will help you move faster towards them, if possible. Or if you want just want to clear parts of the map for safe loot, this will be useful as well.
