[@MrNotSpecified01]

I like these changes. Even if they're not going to be completely balanced off the rip, the game needs some life pumped into it. This gets me excited to play.

[@Pikkoroo]

Exactly, things will need nerfs but ay atleast it’s different

[@mattcastle1762]

Honestly even if things are a little broken; id rather see buff ups rather than nerfs. If that makes sense.

[@Pikkoroo]

@@mattcastle1762 the new system apparently going to be easier for the devs to buff/nerf things so it’s a W 100%

[@Acydxs]

True plus its better for something too be broken at release rather than terrible

[@ghstproject]

I mean we all wanted a season of "revive the game and make it good again you idiots" and now we got it and I think these changes sound and look fucking amazing! I honestly dont care about a new legend, weapon or BR map since those things never really changed the core gameplay and now every legend has a chance to be somewhat fun to be played again! I think that is the biggest win we had in a while! I can't wait to play the new season!

25 second ash snare is actually insane. That with horizon ult is going to be insane

[@Thewtam4]

36:00 I like the caustic healing inside of his gas especially since it's lore accurate, seeing that he created the gas as a cure for his cancer diagnosis

[@haloboy817]

Its also insanely busted. I cannot wait. Because players have enough of a hard time fighting you in the gas as is. With Fortified AND self healing. I am glad I picked Gas Daddy as my main right now. Fighting in the gas is gonna be a boss fight for them. Imagine the ULT range upgrade with 3 cans in a small room. Might as well give me a healer drone.

[@SlickClick89]

the problem with the Crypto change is that now he has to be even further from his drone to avoid emp damage effectively making it harder to stay close to team. He should have a perk that makes him immune to emp.

[@quantrellh.4939]

Yea, I would have thought he would be immune to his ult as well or at least get the same treatment as Fuse.

[@ollieyoung]

But dont think of the ult as a pushing tool, think of it as a attrition tool, its bigger so you hit say 6 people, they all have to use a batts or cells, they finish there fight they use more batt and cells, you have the other ult perk that makes it faster, so you ult them again, so now they use more healin stuff, when you chose to fight them they have no batts or cells left

[@SlickClick89]

@@ollieyoung The only way that would work is if you had an inventory of ult accels and you griefed every fight you saw. And even then, not the best way to play Crypto. As long as Crypto keeps taking self damage from ult, that ult size is just a little too big to be beneficially useful. Doing 150 damage at the cost of 50 to yourself is not that great. In order to burn a teams heals you would need to emp them at least 3+times which is 6 ult accels plus a little time between each emp. That's 6 bag slots to attrition 1 team...

[@xDaRkIcEx4]

as a crypto main im pretty disappointed. the ult range was insane but now that you say it, he should def be immune to it. his first perk is pretty wack too.

[@SlickClick89]

@@xDaRkIcEx4 at least the patch notes say he will recall, enter, and exit drone faster but we will see tomorrow how it actually plays out. It's become obvious to me no one at Respawn seem to understand or pay attention to Crypto because most of their player base doesn't play him anyway. There is very little dedicated high skill Crypto players and even when the pros play Crypto, they look like total noobs the way they use his abilities (obviously their skill carries them anyway).

[@chrissizemore8705]

I love this. It makes every legend viable. Even bad legends now are viable. It addresses a lot of stuff we've been asking for and it gives us so much more flexibility in each legend. Huge W for Respawn.

[@xyl4123]

Still people cry 😂😂

[@FATCHQDE]

there where no bad legends, just movment charecters are inatley better in this game and are all overtuned asf, along with stright up broken charecters like bangalore and horizon, if all movment charecters got nerfed you every charecter would be good.

[@chrissizemore8705]

@FATCHQDE I do think you're right in that there are some broke legends (Conduit immediately comes to mind) and movement will always be king. But there are absolutely some bad legends. Ballistic is bad. Vantage and Seer still need some help. They're not awful, but if you play one of those legends, you're immediately at a disadvantage against a team carrying Horizon, Rev, and Conduit.

[@FATCHQDE]

@@chrissizemore8705 vantage is fine, i dont know whats bad about a sniper with what feels like .8 aim assist (probaly not but you know) and can two shot knock, along eith the movment option, ballistic is strong and i dont know why people think hes weak forcing prople to stop shooting or take 30 damage ot ehatever it is and the speed boost is strong, seer just needs a to be able to see the charecters through the walls i think cause the silence is what makes him usefull in my eyes and whats the point if your not sure to get the horizon or bangalore thats on every team, i loved old rev cause you could force a semi fair fight out of cheese charecters through a mid fight silence, but seer cant even do that, so i thibk he needs to be able to see a outline of his opponents through walls so we know who to target with the scan, id main him just to hit the horizons.

[@HS-ts5wf]

@@FATCHQDE Movement characters are not "broken". You only think that because only the fucking crackhead sweaty gamers use them. In reality, their abilities are mostly kinda shit lol.

[@LuckyWasLive]

btw you didnt use octains other lv 3 perk correctly the perk affects the jump pads u place down AFTER u get the perk (the jump pad will look red when used correctly)

[@jamespedersen9039]

Is it by jump pad or just octane? Can other players do it off of the red jump pads?

[@newenvargasflores2812]

​@@jamespedersen9039Is the pad

​@jamespedersen9039 if you see a red pad, you can also change directions after using it.

[@growlaG]

I thought about the idea of giving legends the ability to upgrade their abilities a while ago, stoked to see it's actually being implemented into the game. I predict a team composition of Ash, Loba and Catalyst in ALGS especially after these changes remember you heard it here first 😂 . Also as much as I personally love these changes I do think it will discourage even more fresh and new players who already struggle with the game, as skilled players are getting rewarded with better upgrades quicker, but then you could argue that if your struggling with the game that much maybe it's not the game for you.

What was that ash snare holy moly

[@infamous0113]

You can move out of it after a few seconds like normal. The dummy isn't moving which is why they're being tethered for 24 seconds. What makes it good is you can use it as a trap to heal and stop a squad from pushing you if you're healing or protecting your teammates so I'm excited

[@JohnnyCrushx3]

@@infamous0113I think you are right. Looks like it stays for 24 seconds no matter what but enemies can be tethered only for a short time. Am I tripping or does the tether timeframe seems less then what it is now a couple of seconds?

Ballistics ult is super strong which is the reason for the weak update. I find myself landing on charge towers and then looting a weapon on my skiing just so that it's gold, had super fast handling, and infinite ammo. With that, you can really take down purple shields as a white shield.
