1. Why does Loba still only get 20% from ultimate accelerants instead of the standard 35%? (Speaking of Loba's ultimate, can you guys make it so that Treasure Packs don't use up Black Market slots?)

2. Why does the Quickdraw Holster cost more materials in the Replicator than the Skullpiercer? (45 vs 40)

3. Is there a particular reason why revives give the player 20 health (instead of 25)? I ask because it's annoying when you use 3 syringes after getting revived and there's a sliver of health missing.

4. Why don't respawned Legends have their tacticals available? Having to charge everything from scratch severely punishes Legends like Wattson, while Horizon gets hers almost immediately.

Hey JayBiebs! Since you're answering questions I was hoping you could clarify something for me about Horizon. In Apex you no accuracy on ziplines, jump pads, and "falling" through air yet when Horizon flips gravity with her Q she is "falling" through air but up she has insane strafe with 100% accuracy.

I'm curious about the inconsistency of the accuracy Horizon since she is technically in the air (no accuracy penalty) and also gets strafe that surpasses the Wingman with any weapon with 100% accuracy. In my opinion, that combination is too strong. Her Q is a movement tactical and I am baffled it can be used so offensively.

I was surprised when I read that Horizon's nerf would be that she can strafe slightly less instead the nerf focusing on the 100% accuracy she has while in her Q. Her Q is already very strong since it can get high ground for an entire team every ~18 seconds and create clutch situations with using healing items, while not even mentio...

1. Will wraith gets low profile removed in s9? As a wraith main I can definitely tell you that big hitbox + low profile forces you to play the game differently. I get beamed much harder then on any legend. I think in terms of abilities she is rather balanced and her hitbox is a good size. It's just getting clipped in the ankle for a full 96 dmg by the mastiff seems kinda overkill.... like this :)
2. Weapon balance is really good except spitfire (needs mag reduction to be inline with devotion) and mastiff (nerf was good but too much imo no one really uses it... Maybe +1 on pellet dmg?) (Though this is probably useless since pk is back in s9?)
3. Will bloodhound get a nerf? I don't see many people talking about this legend but as a solo player this legend is my worst enemy. The "press a button and no need for game sense" is kinda broken... I kid you not when I say that most BH players have s...

Hey I’m far from a lead dev haha but I had a fun time. Didn’t mean to dodge questions... when it comes to Horizon audio: I don’t see a downside to hodsic’s point that there should be audio entry/exit cues, so why not implement that. We’re working on the fix to Octane pad audio bug. If y’all have other questions I’ll clear up what I can here!

Any rev passive buff coming soon like infinite wall climb could be good without giving him fortified the main thing he lacks is in movement & gets lasered due to the big hitbox and it would fit the lore as well

When is the path passive buff coming cause he feels like underpowered compared to other recons like crypto , blood . Like you can give him atleast some buffs on zipline like faster movement ,better accuracy etc specially when octane , horizon are dominating him in movement category right now

Any chance of a rampart buff making her turret non stationary but movable at a low speed ? cause some times i don't even remember i have her ult in the entire game

Fuse ults def need some buff it is way too easy to walk over that without any dmg

Guns i feel are pretty balanced except maybe reduce spitfire dmg or magazine , also 30-30 needs a buff for sure and buff wingman a little more dmg buff pls (its a high skill weapon but feels way too risky to play i...

No worries, I’ve done pods and know it’s a weird format to discuss things in. Can you answer the horizon/octane audio stuff? Can we expect audio cues for horizon lift and octane pads at some point?

Couple questions. 1. What are Caustic’s win and pick rate numbers looking like post patch? The game has felt much better with fewer Caustics running around despite the nerf being less dramatic than most people think. 2. Is the Spitfire going to get nerfed? It does too much dps for its low recoil + high damage per mag combo. Imo it was in a perfect spot prior to season 8. 3. What changes are being made to Wraith for s9 and beyond? Since the hit box nerf, she is the character that seems to die quickest in gunfights with her medium size hit box + low profile combo. It also doesn’t make sense to me that her hit box is bigger than her character model. 4. How is lifeline’s kit being handled? Regardless of whether her ult gets changed or buffed, her passive needs a 10-20 sec delay between revives. 5. Can locked and loaded be implemented permanently? If not, what else can be done to clean up the loot pool?

Dude, he legit said his that this was their idea in the main post, a post about things in game such as buildings and shit. He codes. He is a dev. I dony care if you don't like it, but he's just as responsible for not commenting on the other posts and saying he'd relay the problem directly. Guess what? Problem was solved. So why you're still commenting is beyond me, tard.

Btw this is a basic thing for every Source game.

I'm remember how messed with server-side of Dota 2 which used Source 1 at some point, was a child so just broked characters speed limit and gone teleport everywhere on the map ;)

I also had my account reset and now I’m even getting another error code and can’t get into the game at all it’s Disconnect: PersistenceReadComplete for data storage “Respawn” failed. Please help me I just wanted to play the game and I have hundreds of dollars spent on my account and I can’t even get into it. If I’m not able to get back into my account I want a refund of all purchases.

I’m still curious if a developer saw my idea and put this in game. Originally back in s5/s6 I came up with an idea for a vault which you throw a grenade(s) at that would explode open and have good loot inside. It was an idea for Olympus, and more like a bank vault(posted it on a Olympus idea post). I’m just glad it got added to the game.

Are we supposed to be allowed in the trident on top the tower without a timer going off?
