And, finally 3rd operator teaser. The rumours have lined up perfectly. This attacker is able to emit a noise from defender gadgets. Or perhaps from defender's cellphones itself, which would either make her a superior IQ or Jackal.
Im personally hoping she can be like IQ because we need more electronic counters, and Jackal already is underwhelming.
IQ herself should get tweaked to be able to temporarily disable electronics. That would allow both of them to be viable.
I think Lesion traps are fine in terms of damage, all they do is tickle. It's more of a problem of the Lesion is using the traps as markers to locate your position. But for going inside a room I think it's one of the tamer traps. The problematic traps imo are Kaplan with his invisible lasers and particularly Ela. The problem with her traps are that they could go anywhere be it ceiling or even some small corner and have the full effect rather than get blocked by objects in between the player and the mine or have the intensity get reduced with distance (i.e. max at epicentre and weakest at the edge of the radius)
I agree, Lesion is fine, but I feel like removing his intel ability would make him far less threatening.
I like invisible Kapkan traps. The issue is that with so many new trappers, his ability can be annoying since he has 5 of them. Still, I like Kapkan's buff.
To me, Ela is definitely the most annoying. I think her traps should definitely come with a trigger delay, or a radius reduction. And her weapon still absolutely needs to be toned down.
I think it's wrong that she gets such effective traps while Echo gets a lame ass dizzying effect that requires way too much teamwork to coordinate.
