I’m sorry but I have to say this…Ashe’s B.O.B ultimate is too weak! 9 out of 10 times I use B.O.B he immediately gets shutdown by the simplest little things, like Anna’s sleep dart or Sombra’s hack…I’m sorry no!!! That is Ashe’s ultimate! it should not be instantly shutdown after it takes awhile building it up! Her ability is unique so why is it so easy to negate? Here is my solution for this and please just hear me out, this won’t be overpowered. Just make him invincible and immune to abilities like sleep dart and hack, BUT also make him immune to your team’s abilities he can’t be buffed, just to make it balanced. BUT keep him stationary, wherever he ends up that’s where he stays just like it is now. The only ways to negate him should be these two things: 1. Hope that whoever is playing Ashe makes a mistake and sends him in the wrong direction. 2. Find cover until he goes away. That’s it! I know some people will find that too overpowered, but like I said before, this is supposed to be Ashe’s unique ultimate! Trust me this will create balance. If you play Ashe you have to be careful where you send B.O.B and when you do summon him, it will feel worth it after the build up. Sorry I just needed to say this.
Also make him smarter too!! There are so many times my team’s Bob or opponent’s Bob run straight to jump down dead from high place……
image how many ults are wasted because i held rmb 
nomnomnom
Yeah…no. Bob is fine.
I think he’s easily shut down by design. he’s in a weird position where he’s treated like a 6th player, until he’s not, ya know? he’s like a turret that can be healed and cleansed by supports which I think is cool
he can contest points and displace key targets which I think is huge value for a team when placed strategically.
I wouldn’t say no to a buff, though i’m not entirely sure what form that could be in
But…he’s not though! lol. Make it balanced, B.O.B cant be affected by ANY ability even your own team’s, just to make it fair. Sorry not trying to start anything, just wanted to get my thoughts out there.
That’s busted though. Then Bob essentially has no depth to his positoning because putting him on point in front of the enemy is the only place where he’ll get meaningful value, but it’s also where he will pop faster than the devs release Kiriko skins. Bob isn’t supposed to be a team wipe ultimate, you put him in an off angle and then fight the enemies trying to hide from Bob. Also baiting sleep to use an ultimate is something an entire role has to play around so it’s not that hard.
You do bring up good points. But a good balance to that would be to make B.O.B immune to ALL abilities even your own team’s. Make it to where he is just a good stationary turret that stays for a few seconds. But I do appreciate your feedback.
I think a good way to buff Bob is to allow you to tap the ult again so that he stops running when you’d like him to. Also treat him like a tank. Boops and sleeps impact act the same.
OP is correct, his ult is mre often than not shut down and you generally have to think reallly far ahead to be effective with it. More so than with other ults imo. I usually don’t mind when Bob is popped because I’ll either sleep him or melt him with Discord most of the time.
bob is an amazing ult it literally turns the game from 5v5 to 6v5 its great if used right
You also bring up good points, but I still think B.O.B should get some sort of buff, or at least make it easier to build the ability up to summon him while playing as Ashe.
Bob is fine. He’s a 2nd tank. High hp, contests point, soaks up cooldowns and aggro.
Yeah, again, that would just remove depth from him. I think maybe allowing Ashe to stop BOB wherever they want would be a good change, but otherwise I think it’s fine as is, because buffing Bob risks making Ashe too strong.
Good points. I know I keep saying this but I still think he needs a buff. I’d be willing to accept keeping his hp, but making him immune to sleep, hack, etc. Just so he doesn’t immediately get shutdown. Or maybe make the ability to summon him charge up a little faster for Ashe.
‘great news everybody, I’ve finally got our 6th player, Bob, available and he’s gonna go in 1v5 and win us the game like other players do all the time!’
He is. Most DPS ults don’t do anything. Bob is a win condition.
I never claimed he can 1v5 a team, I just said he’s a player in that he can contest points and be healed which isn’t something other turrets/deployables can do
both teams have Ashe
cries happy tears cause that means 6v6
I was just making a joke at how he’s essentially a 6th player and often used in a way that if he were controlled by an actual human you’d be upset with their decision making.
Bob is flat out one of the best ults in the game.
giving him the ability to wave back at ashe already put him above every other ult
