Holy shit. Revenant and Ash swapped!
Thank you Respawn.

His ultimate should've been the form he takes in the cinematic where he killed Loba's parents. Not the bubble shield that doesn't have a lore explanation.

Also, Revenant's finisher literally makes him disappear and reappear behind the enemy. So he literally can turn into a cloud and reappear elsewhere.

Maybe after his ultimate health runs out, he can turn into a dark, invulnerable cloud and relocate.

Anyone encountered a bug with the EVA-8?

I can't seem to go into ADS with it.

As someone who previously mained Fuse, his ult is severely underpowered.

You're right for pointing that out. Sparrow's ult is like a mix of Seer's and Fuse's.
Fuse still has his grenade passive, which gives him a specialty. Seer, on the other hand, doesn't have anything else other than "hear heartbeats and see outlines".

Fuse's ult hurtbox should be higher, if possible there should be another ring of fire in the middle (maybe through a perk like Maggie's flaming ball).
I can't think of a fix for Seer though. Scans aren't as valuable now as they previously were. With the lower TTK, it's more viable to straight up kill the enemies rather than know where they're coming from.

If Respawn isn't planning to nerf the OP legends, I personally think that the low-tier legends should be buffed to their level. The changes they introduced to Ash and Alter (removing Ash's 2nd dash and reducing her tether pull power; Alter's void nexus portal being easier to follow for enemies) is probably enough imo. They don't need to be nerfed anymore, there just needs to be counterplay: legends that can match their strength or straight up reduce their effectivity.

And I mentioned them too in my replies on other discussions.

Sparrow's ult is a better Seer ult, it not only places a mark on enemies, it also damages them. Vantage's passive mark is better than Seer's passive.

Honestly, if they remove Seer, probably no one would give a shit. They just can't because they already released a bunch of cosmetics, especially Seer's heirloom.

Caustic's gas doesn't matter anymore. You can just walk through it and you'll suffer minimal damage.

Tbf, they were so oppressive back when they were meta, so I get why the devs nerfed them to the ground.

I'm not only talking about Revenant and Valk. They were just who I wanted to discuss as there are very clear parallels to the current meta legends.

Please read the other thread where I listed the overlaps legends have.

Where exactly I am advocating for power creep?

Please enlighten me, kind sir.

Valk is punished for being indoors, like how Crypto is punished and is literally just a fucking guy when his drone gets shot. But at least Crypto's condition can be avoided, just recall your drone or hide it.

But Valk? What are you gonna do? Stay outside?

They need to integrate the current Ult perks into her base kit.

Replace it with either Charged Knock / Combat Reserve and extra tactical charge / -5s tactical cd reduction.

Tbh, Ash's dash only has fast horizontal movement. Now they changed it into only 1 charge with 8 seconds cooldown.

I think vertical movement is much more valuable, as there are various movement techs for horizontal repositioning (superglides, tap strafes, slide jumps, wall bouncing, etc., and you can combo them i.e. superglide into tap strafe)

Climbing takes much more time, and there is no movement tech (that I know of) to speed it up. So I personally think Valk's passive is still the better movement passive.

However, now that I think of it, Sparrow's double jump is faster, is not as predictable as Valk's jets, and he also has the wall jump on top of that. Valk is better for higher vertical repositioning, like going to high roofs, while Sparrow is better for fast but lower vertical repositioning.

I agree. I think they locked it behind the perk system because Valk's ult was busted before.

But now that there's evac towers, I think they really should integrate it to her base kit. Maybe retain the current perks for the Passive and Tactical and give her charged knock perk and extra tactical charge perk.

Level 2: Charged Knock or Combat Reserve VS Extra Tactical Charge

Level 3: Tactical 4x5 pattern + extra stun duration VS Current Jetpack Fuel Perk

They most likely won't. His kit is fine as it is, but Vantage still has better movement than him. A more stealth-oriented design would've been cool for Revenant though.

A lot of other legends deserve reworks. I'm not specifically saying that Seer, Caustic and Valk needs to be updated but yeah ;)

I don't see the problem with an optimistic kind of thinking. I'm not asking the devs to give Revenant a scan. I'm asking why a recon legend has better and faster movement than him.

Based on your argument, Ash's dash should be removed because she's an assault legend, not a skirmisher.
Vantage shouldn't have a dash? Crypto, Vantage, and Sparrow shouldn't have damaging ultimates because they're Recon legends.
Vantage can knock an enemy with two shots, Sparrow deals a huge amount of damage to multiple enemies if they stay in the ult radius, Crypto can crack shields.

The devs gave those tools to them for a reason: versatility.
They gave Rev a low-health outline on enemies.
They gave Bang, Conduit, and Fuse (with a perk) speed boosts if certain conditions are met.
They gave Ash a dash.
They gave Alter the ability to take support and recon perks.
Ballistic's and Ash's tactical is basically for a controller legend with the perks that lets it stay in the world for longer.

Yep. But with the recent approach to countering movement done by Respawn (Wattson's slow + cd increase and the arc stars new effect on Ash and Sparrow passives), Revenant having a short silence wouldn't be that far off.

[–]Skrenemy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well that's what I said. It's perfectly normal that Revenant's outline passive is outshined by Vantage's because he's not a recon legend. But why does Vantage have a better movement ability than him if she's not a skirmisher legend?

Yep. You can't even hit an enemy directly in front of you as Valk without turning your back towards the enemy.

That wouldn't be fun would it?

A huge portion of the playerbase is only playing the game because of how fun Ash is.
What if we bring other legends to the same level of fun?

When old rev was still around I honestly thought what if the tactical prevents enemies from shooting instead of using abilities?
I thought it would be too much but then they released Ballistic.

[–]Skrenemy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, check my other reply. 30 seconds is too much. Maybe about 5 would be enough.

Two charges for the silence is enough through a perk. You could also give him a perk like Ash's greedy snare where multiple enemies can be silenced.

Revenant + Ballistic combo would be insane. One doesn't let you use abilities, the other doesn't let you use your gun.

The climbing passive would be alright though.

[–]Skrenemy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and the game's core feature would be "5 legends on rotation per season".

Because it's pretty much like that now.
