@OriginalEquinox said in My opinion on flanks as a console player:

His claw nerf made him much less cancerous but his dash needs to be tweaked. It has iframes, cleanses everything including Tyra's mark, restores ammo and heals and you can spam in near infinitely. It's too rewarding for how frequent it is. Either remove the cleanse, increase the charge time or add a internal cooldown on the buffs so even if you spam it you can't always get cleansed and heal up and such. They did the same to Nessa's teleporter and Strix's invisibility heals so there's no reason this can't be done.

His dashes while op, make up for the lack of damage in his base kit as they allow him to dodge enemy attacks frequently. I've heard people suggest that they lower his fire-rate but buff his base damage to not only make him more skill-require but also more of a threat in a 1v1.

I love basically everything that you've written but there would be a few things that I would tweak.

Increase Blood Reaper's damage from 115% max health to 125% max health.

Instead of buffing the damage, making the ultimate slow or even cripple enemies will allow it to be more effective.

Decrease Cat Burglar's damage boost from 30% to 25%.
Decrease the damage of each of her Daggers from 400 to 375.

I believe it should be one or the other here as applying both these nerfs will really hurt maeve.

Literally double the size of her ult's collision radius.

Along with this change, I would give her a slight movement speed buff so she doesn't have to waste her scamper to try and reach the enemy, also the ult should activate if they jump over her as it is impossible for moji to get them if they do.

These are just my opinions, although I play alot of flanks I am by no means a pro at them.

Thanks for reading!

I'm not a dev or anyone apart of Hi-Rez or EM but I would like to see what the rest of the community thinks need to be changed to make flanks viable in the meta!

All comments and suggestions are appreciated!

@Radioxyss I think pip would work well in a team that has good comunication.

@Radioxyss Caut's one of the most effective items in the game, even if there is no healer the enemy team might but kill to heal or have loadout cards that give them heals. That's why again, tanks are very good with pip (or any healer actually) as they can put up their shields to block cauterize and get the full burst.

@TangAce I'm from AUS and play with cross-play on. Sometimes I'll get console players that are pretty trash but I rarely get bots. Is this just an occurrence on EU servers?

@Radioxyss Pip's meant to be a damage support but his burst heal is still very effective. Combat medic is getting buffed to 750 if you want to give out constant heals but the whole point of mega potion is too wait for cauterize to wear off and then give a huge 2k+ burst of heals.

EDIT: That's why it works so well on tanks as they can put their shield up and block cauterize for the heal.

@kosminel I believe it's the total amount of gold that you have gotten in a session but don't quote me on that.
