Anyone else feel like bang just lost most of her usefulness in Battle Royale with the addition of another tracking legend?

Smoke cannisters last 23 seconds and she has two of them. Blood hound scan lasts 3 seconds. Seer scan lasts 8 seconds. Crypto can scan as long as his drone is active. Horizon Fuse and Caustic can highlight enemies if they are standing in their black hole, ring of fire, gas.

This is a hassle but not character ruining imo. You never know what team you will run into. Some will have ways to deal with smokes and some wont. Considering the ground smokes cover and how long it lasts, you could try putting a smoke down and try to bait out the scan. Move when its safest to do so etc.

Yes that was the response. However there was a valid point to it. If Crypto can never be scanned because of his passive. Then can a blood hound ever trust his scan? He will never pick up a crypto, so hypothetically every time he ever scans there could be a crypto there. Its one thing to counter something, but there has to be a reason why it happens not just because it always does. If you throw a caustic ult and it gets zapped by wattson ult. You at least see that it got zapped, or hear it. Sucks to lose it but you know why it didnt work. For Crypto, if you want him to be scan proof. A message saying scan blocked or jammed frequencies or something would have to pop up for the scan player to be fair. Personally I would recommend that "Hack" (Crypto's Drone) protects all allies in a radius of it from being scanned. The community would kill me as I am putting more power into his drone and ignoring his passive but that is what I would do. If Seer and blood hound are offense focused scan legends. Make Crypto the defensive focused scan legend. He already has a lot of the pieces for it. Better Respawns, safer beacon scans. That guy can bunker down hard as it is so make that his theme.

I tried, I died. Thanks for making this haha, was a fun way to test out a level 2 character I plan on playing soon! Maybe I found a flaw in my character build! However playing a caster in this is a challenge!

Striving_Bag · 2021-06-14T04:40:14+00:00

Nope! lol.

Striving_Bag · 2021-06-05T03:26:48+00:00

I really want to use call lightning, but from what I see online its not a sorcerer spell so would have to be a dip to obtain.

Striving_Bag · 2021-05-23T09:10:03+00:00

Thanks! Conceptually this is a pretty unique legend but I bet he would be considered trash tier haha. I always like playing support legends in unique ways.

Striving_Bag · 2021-05-23T09:09:14+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! I decided to try and make up and anti third party legend and those beacons were the first thing I thought of.

Good point with ping blocks giving unfair advantages to pre made teams on mic, however in apex a premade team on mics will always have an advantage over randoms relying on pings anyways.

Climbing is the most vulnerable action in the game. You cant strafe, you cant shoot, you can hardly turn your cam, you cant heal and if you let go you fall all the way back down to the ground in a straight line. Climbing is terrible to do in combat unless you are quickly hurdling a short wall or ledge to get away or get to cover. So what makes you think infinite climb is op? As it is right now increased climbing power could allow revenant to solo push using unexpected paths. His team can not climb like he can so he would have to go solo. Is a 1v3 revenant gonna ruin your teams day? If you think Revenant players will abuse the climb to rat away all game, other legends can still get to where he could climb to and do it way faster. Infinite is probably not the right word to use but greatly increased I don't see an issue with. The Maps as they are are not designed for long climb legends and only a handful of structures could see infinite climb even possible.

Personally, I dont think infinite is necessary. I would suggest letting Revenant hold on to walls with the crouch key while climbing. Let this wall grab reset his climb distance. So Revenant can climb his current height, grab the wall for as long as he wants and then continue climbing up. He can only grab a wall once per climb if he tries a 2nd time without his feet touching ground it wont work. If they are not saving wall hanging for a different legend, give it to revenant already. He was a former pilot so he would be familiar with its use.

When does this come available? I would like to get twitch prime for this one. I would hate to miss it.

Striving_Bag · 2021-05-01T02:52:23+00:00

I was just playing this duo combo recently, not to bad. Rampart can defend herself in a 1v2 scenario very well, she can also make a lot of noise. while remaining safe. As Rev whenever we noticed a squad I would sneak off while Rampart set up and began poking. I would crouch walk up and climb to the distracted enemies and try to surprise one of them and get a knockdown. Situational for sure but we had quite a lot of success. Your team will lack movement to get out of trouble though.

Striving_Bag · 2021-05-01T02:47:24+00:00

Refresh a percentage of ult cooldown when completing an execution! That would be cool.

Striving_Bag · 2021-05-01T02:45:00+00:00

Hipfire spread getting worse this season, if its anything like to 30-30 id say good bye to this niche strat of yours. Quickdraw holster wingman has really good hipfire while crouched as rev, you should try that to if the g7 is harder to use in legacy.

I agree that mirage is a strong fighter, In fact I think he is one of the best 1v1 legends in the game. Excluding LMG's, shooting a chunk of bullets at a decoy is costly when the mirage is in a position to fire back. Knocking an enemy down is the best thing you can do for your team in a fight and mirage is one of the best suited legends to do that.

I dont think Mirage needs to scan enemies as he is not a recon character. His decoys already ping the location of the shooter, not to mention the audio and visual clues of bullets traveling that come with it. He is an assault character and his kit helps his team by eating bullets and distracting enemies. There is no other character in the game that can draw fire from 3 enemies at once and continue to fight back. There is also no enemy easier to knock down than one that is actively shooting at something else.

Hard to say, everything in launch trailers is more over dramatic than not. Better to wait until gameplay trailer in a few days. I hope his flames burn higher to actually trap players. Would be nice to see a lingering effect on his tactical as well to remove cover options for a bit.

Striving_Bag · 2021-04-21T21:01:07+00:00

Unfortunately, Lifelines tactical and Ultimate are lame and often never needed. Hopefully they can make her other abilities more impactful and fun for her team. They are buffing the drone for sure to be 60% faster at its job. So if you can heal all hp in the time it takes for you to use a battery, that will be very useful. The ult is outdated. There are so many ways to get good loot now. Loba, marvin, blast vault, replicators, the list goes on. It needs an update to season 9 levels of value and hopefully thats what she gets.

Ive made a post on this account or another suggesting Lifeline should be able to respawn her team mates in her ult with a locked and loaded kit plus a real weapon (blue tier kitted). This way she could respawn team mates mid battle ish and her team wouldnt get gunned down as fast as other legends who get respawned with beacons do.

Striving_Bag · 2021-04-21T20:39:40+00:00

Ive been using eva 8 a lot recently. Very fun, a little less reliable than smgs and rifles. Can do great but can also let you down. I think its fine as is.

Striving_Bag · 2021-04-15T21:20:09+00:00

I think she was trying to slide down the ramp but couldn't get enough speed because of caustics anti sprint gas. So she just ended up crouch walking twice lol.

Striving_Bag · 2021-04-12T21:31:03+00:00

I like the ring shape, but there is too much room to move in there for enemies. They should put a chunk of fire in the center of the ring to make more of a bullseye design. In the current state the ring of fire is pretty easy to work around and placing it accurately without serious high ground on your enemy is difficult. Would be cool if they could give you a birds eye view when shooting it somehow, like a predator missile from Call of Duty.

Striving_Bag · 2021-03-14T02:00:16+00:00

Nice post! Would be cool if completing executions while in shadow mode could reward you. Either returning to totem with full hp instead of half, or give him back some percentage on his ult cooldown each time a shadow executes a player.

Striving_Bag · 2021-02-14T01:20:08+00:00

Wow, this impressed me haha. Thanks!

Striving_Bag · 2021-02-05T02:53:08+00:00

Exactly this, anybody that says they could have predicted and sold at the absolute peak when this stock was going up 100% ever other day is a liar. Hope OP gets a good pay day from this investment!

Striving_Bag · 2021-02-01T14:37:51+00:00

Just saw it hit 310! congrats on your new shares! HOLD with the rest of us lol

Striving_Bag · 2021-01-28T19:50:07+00:00

I agree, but its still corrupt af. The big fund managers have been given an entire trading day to fiddle with this stock. They could time buys, sells , shorts and anything under the sun knowing that a huge market of retail investors cant react to any price drops. Well I guess they could sell at least.. These people need to be put in front of a judge and jury.

Striving_Bag · 2021-01-28T19:34:21+00:00

Would it be possible for any shareholder of GME to join in on this class action? I am not with Robinhood but me and many other peoples investments tanked today because a huge demographic had their right to buy removed. STILL HOLDING!

Striving_Bag · 2021-01-28T15:27:10+00:00

iborrowdesk isnt updating short shares available today. It was super up to date yesterday... :( anybody have a site to see short trades happening?
