Bloodhound has always been S tier. I have mained him since season 1. You hit the rage wallhacks mode and go apeshit.

wattson underrated here imo. a) she can carry 2 per inventory slot, b) they 100% her no matter the pre-charge. you can poo poo out interceptors REAL FAST if you need to

relatedly, fuse is going to be absolutely busted with 2 IMPROVED grenades per slot, people were already dumping ammo/shields for throwables and he just says 'nah ye c&nt, more boom and then im on smoko'

It doesn't matter if Fuse has a good tactical or ultimate, his passive is going to be so loving clutch. Being able to go into the final circle with double the number of grenades will be extremely powerful.

its not just double nades, the trailer indicates he gets improved bounce-prediction on throwables as well

It can be very useful. There were a couple of times where I managed to use it to outrun a squad after both my teammates died and then snuck back over for their banners. It even works in most of the gaps in the inner parts of the map not just the outer edges.

I made a vid where it cuts off before the launch for comedic effect, but this was the case at least that far back.

edit: huh, guess it wasn't that long ago.

It was definitely a thing at the start of the Season. A few Youtube videos from people who got to play the map early showed it off.

The only think I知 worried about with Fuse is the ultimate痴 radius compared to Wattson痴 ultimate. If it makes a ring around the ultimate after it痴 fired directly above it that would be sweet!

Don't know how I feel about his tactical, I figured it would do the Gibraltar/Bangalore concussion effect from their ult, not do a ton of damage

Yeah, there used to be a bug where if you pressed jump right before hitting the jumppad, you'd go higher. They accidentally fixed it in season 7(?), people on reddit wondered why and after some talk with a dev it was decided to make it baseline in an upcoming season.

I think another change that was discussed is when you slide into a jumppad you go less high but further horizontally, we'll see in the patchnotes if that made it in too

Nice, thank you. He needed that buff after horizon joined. I wonder if coyote time is only for octane or everyone. Might save a life or two on Olympus.

This seems like a nice thread to hang out in :) I played at launch a little, dropped it for awhile til last year when Loba released, and now I知 a Loba one-trick! Looking forward to the KC changes and new hero to never unlock!

I pretty much just play on my own cuz none of my friends play this, so I値l have to jump in the Discord to see if I can hang with y誕ll :unsmith: I知 admittedly not extremely good but not entirely brain dead either, just a little twitchy with my aiming lol

If the fuse ultimate comes down half way in the wattson ultimate does half the circle still survive on the ground?

When I saw the damage numbers pop up from the knuckle clusters on the rampart walls I couldn't believe it. Really Respawn? :cripes: Maybe when we get the full patch notes for the season Rampart will get some buffs.

It's a shame, because I really like her kit and i've been fairly inventive with its use, but in between it being buggy as hell, barely having any HP and being a pain in the rear end to set up who is really surprised that her pickrate is awful?

Especially since setting up (or taking down) anything takes so long. Why bother when you can keep being mobile and wipe a squad with a Devotion or Spitfire in the same time frame.

The walls are obsolete now that Fuse can instantly remove them - with indirect fire even. Just let her carry Sheila while moving at half speed.

Sheila is now just a temporary 2nd barrel on any lmg she is carrying.

I, for one, am really glad Respawn is going to shake up the meta with Fuse by bringing Rampart and Mirage down a few notches while boosting Wraith, Gibby, and Horizon to a viable state.

I won a game yesterday with a Rampart on World's Edge. We were on third ring and I'd just scanned ring four, called out to take high ground near Sorting Factory and hold it. Two Sheilas and a Charge Rifle later no one could approach us without getting cracked/knocked.
