It sucked before and now that you can use it like the minigun that it is, AND get more than 1 kill with it on average after using it, it's somehow overpowered. Like no, you're right. She's WAY to likely to get picked or be useful in a team push now, she should totally not be able to do that. Legit just run Rev if you hate her, his tac forces it out of her hands.

From watching others play rampart and playing her some Before & After the update, I've realized that even though her ult has changed, it hasn't changed a lot in how you use it.

I feel like that's mostly because people haven't realized that her ult in HOW you use it still hasn't changed that much. I played rampart quite a bit before the update and I know that her old ult is really only useful at long range and 3rd parties, now it's kinda good at mid range and still very good at 3rd partying.

Compare it to Wraith who’s character trait is being a rift runner. She can be invincible for a few seconds. Gibraltar has a shield nothing can shoot through. Every character ability has identity and now Rampart has a little bit more because her ability is no longer stationary in a movement focused shooter.

a nerf idea i have is that u are more slower or spread over range is much bigger rather than placed down when it’s placed down recoil/spread is much tighter

[@The_RedVIII]

I think an easy nerf without going back completely is just slowing down her movement speed when she is carrying Sheila and remove the ability to put Sheila away. You have to use her until you put her down. I mean, you need to be able to put her away, but that should cancel the ult (similar to Valk when she gets shot while lining up for her ultimate) and it should need some time to be used again.

9:22 That's how heat shield works.

True, true, but most legend's abilities have at least 2 uses. Rampart's ult is literally just a better gun with a single magazine. Other than for some glitches in the past which were patched, Rampart's turret really hasn't had any use besides doing lots of damage quickly.

[@bdlamini9002]

Ults have time limits or a duration. The only time Sheila has a duration is when the bullets are done. And even then you can put it down without reloading and still have more than enough bullets.

[@Anonymous2627]

Hope they won't nerf her but instead balance her by making her SUPER slow when carrying the ult and needs ground ammo

a "Rampart" is a defensive wall of a castle or walled city, having a broad top with a walkway and typically a stone parapet. unless there are rock animals i don't know about then let me know.

[@grufflarsen5647]

Fyi if you melee after running out of ammo with sheila your ammo regens

[@cychotec]

I commented this on a TGM vid as well. I don't think you should be able to holster Sheila. It should go back on partial cooldown if you holster or change weapon.

[@ultravioletentertainment7332]

By pressing B on keyboard or left on the Dpad you send Sheila back to the cool down but you have cooled down proportionate to how much ammo you had left. The highest ammo you can have left is 75% so if you add 90% of your ammo left you'll just go straight to 75%

[@cychotec]

@@ultravioletentertainment7332 Oh that how it works right now? I haven't had a chance to use it with the server problems but the vids I've seen looks like they stow it and pop it back out whenever they want. I think that if you use say 25% of the mag you have to wait the 25% cooldown time until you can pull it back out. 50% of the mag? You need to wait half the cool down time etc.. Basically I think if you put it away you have to wait before you can bring it out again. So you have to decide when you're gonna use it and commit to it. If it's already like this that's cool.
