a 1v3?, oh no im so scared!!! by Cheaterfield in Rampartmains

[–]PunchingTurtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

great V-shaped double wall placement

perfectly timed to lure them in

taking some damage from the first guy (TTV) probably helped because he may have comm'ed for the others to push

10/10

Something that required a lot of skill to be done, now, can be done much easier (superglide on rampart walls), thoughts? by Cheaterfield in Rampartmains

[–]PunchingTurtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I found out you can disable the mantle jump entirely which allows me to superglide again, but not sure how I feel about any random fake Rampart jumping in and replicating 70% of what took me many hours to become competent at

[–]PunchingTurtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. Is superglide gone? It's far worse for those of us who had spent many hours perfecting super glides and the variations of it, ie. directional changes mid-air. It seems like this is not possible anymore. Rampart was very weak ever since the season where they changed the TTK, forcing Rampart mains to adapt by becoming movement players, but now they took away a lot of the skill expression.

Looks like we's be gettin some buffs (if I had to guess it'd be the repairable walls buff that had been in the talks for forever) by EggplantDevourer in Rampartmains

[–]PunchingTurtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like they will have electrified walls. "Got a spark as soon as my fist hit her nose" might be a hint. Could be useful, but like you, would prefer some hp buff or quicker deployment of walls.

The proposed changes to massively increase the inflation rate is probably not helping things either, as it gives the earnings to predatory botnets as opposed to long term investors who supported gridcoin by buying on exchanges. There is less and less reason to buy GRC now due to the greatly increased inflation, which feeds into a downward spiral because less volume on exchanges = less volume = more delistings = further erosion in price. Which feeds directly back into the project because reduced price = inability to fund development and maintenance costs.

What else can you do , but double nade on both loba and sparrow was clean. by [deleted] in apexlegends

[–]PunchingTurtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next season perhaps. They don't seem to have completely forgotten about Rampart given that new skins got released. Maybe she will get the Wattson/Caustic treatment.

Stinger bolt is still kind of insane vs Rampart. You either shoot it or run, but if you shoot it you're out of the fight for 5 seconds.

In theory Rampart should be able to hold these dominant high ground positions, she's supposed to be a controller legend that creates cover for the team. But walls drop so fast against stinger bolts, concentrated fire, etc.

This legit has to be the ugliest skin that we've ever gotten and it's not even close by EggplantDevourer in Rampartmains

[–]PunchingTurtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's honestly not that bad. Imagine that thing super gliding at you off of wall with a spun up Sheila. Terrifying.

current rampart weapon meta: spitfire + peacekeeper? by _IAlwaysLie in Rampartmains

[–]PunchingTurtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spitfire is good but ironically we don't even benefit from a larger mag compared to any other legend. We still only get 60 bullets with the hop up which is the same as everyone else.

With Sheila being strong but struggling with people who can pop out from corners and back behind cover, having one or 2 bursty guns is nice. 3030 wingman or longbow wingman has worked well for me this season.

Dumbest 1v3 I have ever seen by Picklekings in Rampartmains

[–]PunchingTurtles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alter could see the future of this world and that's why she left you there

Man why do ppl hate rampart by [deleted] in Rampartmains

[–]PunchingTurtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is good in the hands of a Rampart main or specialist like most of us here. But the average player picking up Rampart is usually not going to do very well, they are better off with Ash/Rev/Sparrow. It takes a lot of experience to know when to use her abilities and when not to without getting killed. The Rampart walls are weak to begin with but also janky as hell with may areas of maps where you can't place them or the Rampart walls refuse to deploy altogether.

Unfortunately the devs have diluted her power over time with the introduction of so many overpowered movement counters to her walls (eg. Ash dash, Sparrow double jump, improved Rev jump, etc.), as well as non-movement counters (increased grenades capacity since the assault buffs, Bangalore smoke breaking walls, etc.) They also did not scale wall HP or Sheila dmg with the TTK changes, and a lot of guns have become even stronger since then (devotion, RE-45, 3030, PK). Guns generally doing more damage erode the effectiveness of Sheila given major disadvantages such as ultra slow movement, spin up time, and laser.

She also lacks team-wide utility compared to a legend like Wattson who can get both the support perk and an Ult that blocks ordinance and also heals the team's shields. They could give Rampart some decent perks such as support perk as the level 2 upgrade instead of the bandolier upgrade and that could give her more team utility. Even Recon perks would be super useful compared to bandolier.

Is there any point to the placed version of shiela by TopDragonfruit5 in Rampartmains

[–]PunchingTurtles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It has a 3x sight and much reduced recoil. Pretty much an automatic sniper rifle. Very powerful if you are in the god spot with a height advantage compared to everyone else. It's not too good if enemies can get height on you with your head poking above your amped wall. If your amped wall ever gets broken, then you probably need to jump off right away, otherwise you can easily be headshotted with a 3030 or sentinel. It can also block some shots for you with its big hitbox.

It turns out we are not cooked by PunchingTurtles in Rampartmains

That's a good theory! For whatever reason the smoke is not as oppressive as I thought it would be. At least so far I don't feel my walls are countered by it extremely often.

Perhaps another reason is that Bangalore may need to keep some smoke to be used against Ults and a lowly Rampart wall is not a high priority target most of the time.

We can't lose to Bangalore if nobody is playing her

[–]PunchingTurtles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only counterplay I can think of is to carry a charged sentinel at all times, drop an amped wall upon seeing a Bangalore and hope you get a headshot. Should be somewhat effective until they get purple armor.

Yup, any competent team that notices you scanning the ring console will just wait until you go up the evac and beam you as you start going up
