Mirage Rework Suggestion

★★★ Newbie

Mirage desperately needs a tweak. Sure he's fun at first but his skills are extremely underwhelming especially against experienced players. 

Encore! - Passive

Automatically drop a decoy and cloak for five seconds when knocked down.

Psyche Out (Q) Tactical Ability

Send out a holographic decoy to confuse the enemy.

 

Vanishing Act (Z) Ultimate Ability

Deploy a team of Decoys to distract enemies while you cloak.

 


Both Encore and Vanishing Act needs a rework.

 

Encore - Once downed you are cloaked. Anyone who is against a mirage player will almost pick up on the fact that he deploys a clone and is cloaked since he is not entirely invisible. Perhaps the most useless passive in the game. He needs an entirely different passive. If you're ever familiar with Alibi from Siege. She tags those who hit her clone.

 

Perhaps a real time track is much more useful. Players who hit a decoy are tracked/highlighted for 2-3 seconds. Revealing their real time position. The clones don't disappear/die when shot at anymore.

 

Psyche Out - This ability is the most fun you can get while playing as Mirage. This slightly needs a tweak, based on player's actions: The clone should be able to execute different actions like climbing on a platform, aim walking, aim crouch walking, aim standing, sprint sliding, firing etc. Performing Psyche out on a downed teammate deploys a decoy that imitates the reviving animation.

 

Vanishing Act - Skill is pretty self explanatory. He deploys his illusions and is unable to perform any action while cloaked. The only thing he can do when he performs his ultimate ability is run, just run. This feels like you're countering yourself while doing so.

The decoys should scatter to different places and don't stay in place, performing different actions. Heck it even deploys a Mirage illusion reviving another Mirage illusion - just for fun. Mirage isn't cloaked at all if he ever performs his ultimate ability. It is basically just a better psyche out ability. Deploying not just one illusion, but many.

 

These are all the ideas I can suggest for now. Seeing Apex Legends as a team game. I tried making/suggesting his skills  to be beneficial for the team while being the same Holographic Trickster whe know and love. 

 

Feel free to put any of your ideas that can make him beneficial for the team.
