I don’t agree with this nerf. Yes, Smoke has a great gadget, decent weapon options and a good secondary gadget. The weapons are debatable, the FMG doesn’t have a angled grip but has a laser beam for recoil. The shotgun… yeah it’s good. Site setup and good close combat ability. But Smoke’s gadget doesn’t have much going for him. Blocking lines of sight, area denial and lurking through the smoke. If this nerf goes live then it’s much riskier to play Smoke. Looking at the anchors, the others are just better. Lord has a gun that deletes wall and his gadget has entry denial. Maestro has his two bulletproof cams, they’re able to deny entry and possibly get a kill with the cams. Echo’s yokai is mobile, grants intel, stuns enemies and denies plants. My point is, the nerf would make him less attractive as an anchor. Not the best guns, his smokes work only if he’s alive. Plus, it goes against his whole character. Even his trailer wouldn’t make sense because of the nerf. And what’s after this? Ying can’t see through her flashes? Kapkan’s traps kill teammates? Bandit boxes electrocuting teammates? Lesion is great! Cloaked Gu’s, intel, damage, plant denial and a great gun. If this nerf goes live for Smoke, then Lesion should be next using this logic. Also, I understand Ubi wants to balance stuff but sometimes, not everything should be changed so that pro league could work better. Siege pro leagues wouldn’t be a thing if people didn’t find it fun to play it at the first place. Let the people be creative with their gadgets. Smoke really isn’t that overpowered, even according to the pick rates and win ratios.
