If you could change any ability of any battleborn with your own idea, what ability would it be and why?

Tobys ultimate. Why he has a short range ultimate on a sniper character is kinda worthless. If they want to keep a close range ultimate, make tobys mech do a knock up charge or something along those lines, to get him away from the fight.

I would have his beam shoot out, go far, do lots of dmg, but make the beam slow. Since playing toby is locking down an area. Territorial, and adorable.

His ult was made afterward, itā€™s just Oscar Mikeā€™s gun. Lame.

I know she has that one attack at the start that hits everything for a tick and stuns them while sheā€™s disappearing, but I was pretty sure that the initial stun only lasted like 1 second such that, if you have a crapload of enemies affected, itā€™s possible for some of them to wander out and/or start moving if they arenā€™t hit again.

If itā€™s not that way, itā€™s even easier because you simply shorten the initial stun duration.

#24

Yeah, it would make more sense like that, but I think itā€™s just a 3 second stun and damage.

#25

Meh different strokes for different folks I geusse

Phoebeā€™s Blade Rush.

Itā€™s near complete utter garbage. Launching the attack nearly always ends with some blades not hitting since it fires from the four corners of the screen instead of closer to the center, thus you canā€™t even lead your shot properly since it fires from some god forsaken useless angle that tilts and shifts as it travels.

Any Helix that I upgrade Blade Rush with is because both choices upgrade that ability. Between PhaseGate and Blade Rush, itā€™s not even a contest.

How to improve Blade Rush? The explosive effect is implemented by default, make it travel faster, shoots from closer to the center of the screen so the user could predict shots, and have the cooldown reduced to 10 or 12 seconds. 20 seconds is WAY, WAY too high for a move that has this many problems.

And can GBX please fix the glitch with Phase Gate when it just eats up the cooldown at the slightest of damage?

I would remove kleeseā€™s tazer from the game and replace it with some kind of shield buff beam that drains his chair energy

Agree was a phoebe main her blade rush is not good. Even if you spec it all the way through your helix it still barely does anything and you miss out on better helix options.

I agree I find Pheobeā€™s blade rush to be kinda meh. I want something that involves her making an attack using all 4 sabers. She does take dancing lessons in her lore, maybe a spin that hits 4 times at everything around her? (although might be too much like Dreadwind)
