Just make it a bit faster or something, it does not even need to make any sense. Almost everyone has a pretty fast reload that doesn’t take too long, meanwhile Ashes is just annoyingly long.
She basically has to stop playing and hide somewhere while reloading. It just feels clunky in such a fast game like OW.
I agree something should be done with her reload…
No, that is McCree’s niche. Reloading. This whole time Jeff said that McCree’s role was Pine… But I figured out the truth. His role is as a reloader.
I agree.
Most of the time she’s spent reloading, and if you ever get to 0 ammo, you’re going to be reloading every couple of seconds because:
She definitely should load viper faster. Like two bullets at the time.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to decrease the coach gun cool down overall, but it would be nice if it would be reduced if used to detonate the dynamite and if it would launch you fast enough to not get set on fire.
It’s so frustrating picking her playing a game with any other hero because I forget how her reload works, so I end up reloading one at a time by accident.
I thought this was the tradeoff for the fact she has a very low time between scoped in shots? You don’t have to charge like widow, but it banks that time for the reload. Therefore if you’re not using her for rapid scoped in shots you’re not using her as intended.
… but I don’t really play her so what do I know?
Ashes stats are nearly identical to Doomfist concerning pick rate and win rate, at nearly every level of play.
Ashe needs a buff of any kind as much as Doomfist does.
Should get 2 bullets per reload so she can at least have a chance at killing someone if they catch her reloading.
what about her having 4 bullets in magazine and having faster reload… just because 12 is too much… and the unscoped close range spam is real…
If you have good sense of reload management u can fight infinitely. It is the same as phara’s hovering. Shoot 3-6 bullets, explode dynamite, then go next position while reloading this. You cant just spam the shields etc, only extreme moments u gotta spend all 12 ammo, then get 4.5 sec. reload time animation to fully reload, anyway you can still reload 6 bullets to stand a chance to kill at least 2 targets in 30 meters with 200 hp. I am ashe main climbed to Gm by onetricking her, any buffs and she become imba, but i’d like to increase reload speed to at least 3.0 second instead of 4.5 for full reload but i think it would be quietly huge because it is her only weakness.
0.7 seconds between shots isn’t all that fast. Widow’s shots are 12-120 damage over 0.5 - 1.5 seconds, no falloff, bonus headshot damage. Ashe’s shots are 85 damage falling off to 42.5 damage at 0.7 seconds.
I mean, it’s decent damage at decent DPS, but it’s not spectacular.
I think the slowness of the reload is actually supposed to be there just to compensate for the flexibility of having an interruptible reload. Or maybe to prevent you from dumping 12 shots into someone with hip fire at close range. I don’t think it has to do with her scoped rate of fire or dps.
There’s also the fact that she gets instant full damage value from scoping in VS widows reset to 0 value every time she drops scope.
All in all I felt it was compensation (negatively mind) for her advantages in other aspects, things you mention likely included. Making her able to reload faster may push her in value above others for more situations.
Purely speculation of course since I have no stake or comparable experience.
she doesn’t need anything at the moment.
