No Octane buff this season?

[BillyCrash100]

Why did my boy Octane get nothing this season? The "buff", if you can even call it that, isn't even worth mentioning.

Bloodhound was already in a strong position, and besides the quite strong Scout passive, he also gets an Ultimate buff? Good balance.

With reduced TTK Octane's stim hurts even more than ever. Bring back the fast movement speed bug while healing that unintentionally made him viable for like a week on season 5. Or give him Fortified. Or make his passive proc much earlier and heal faster. Literally anything. But hey he got new skin tho. I'll have fun spectating it in the lobby because there's no reason to pick him in an actual match.

Pathfinder : "Hi Friend" 

Caustic      : "Hi 2"

Both feeling being ignored and left behind.

@asukojo Both of them are infinitely more viable than Octane. Caustic synergizes well with Rampart and Pathfinder, well, needs a small buff, but Octane needs it so much more.

How about an adrenaline mechanic? The less HP Octane has left, the faster his stim becomes, capping at 100% extra sprinting movement speed when stimming at 1HP. Or maybe complete immunity to frag grenades? Are these suggestions OP? Perhaps, but Octane has nothing going for him atm, and in this meta he does not belong.

@BillyCrash100  Or his hp regens quicker the lower his hp is at the very least lol.

Obviously not applicable in combat.
