What are your current thoughts on Raze

MrWilson

I think her abilities need a little bit of tuning, but overall she seems like an okay character one you learn to dodge her ulti, What are your thoughts?

Krazcar

I think shes mediocre at best. her abilities are all damage, and people refuse to respect what they are meant to do, take space, so they die to them and claim shes overpowered

Hanma

She's not overpowered, I just really don't like her grenades D:<

The nerf to Raze was completely unnecessary. Her E was the only good thing about her ability set. All her other abilities are worse than any other character. Her Q is useless. I really wish they would offer an option to switch the bought choice of a character when they gut one. sigh.

WeaponTaco how is her Q useless?? it helps you find enemies before you enter and get jumped

the only thing that needs to happen to raze is a fix for her satchels the way they work is annoying and doesnt feel good to use especially when the fire button is also the use button how dumb...

raze and sage need a slight nerf tbh

I think she's fine except for her Q which is complete crap. Should deal damage in a larger area or buff range.. or just change it to mines placed on the ground, similar to Lesions toxins in R6 but with a bang instead 🙂

I think RAZE is weak actually
Q is okay for mobility but Sett has straight foward better Q with same purpose.

ULT kills rarely at higer lvl , it's dodged easily.

BombDrone is predictable , you are predictable when you follow it.

Nade is Good if enemy is stuck , then it's literally lethal , all other times it does almost no dmg.

Overall i played her , she is fun to play , but i feel like if i played somebody esle and picked up , like FireBoy he would perform much much better. He has so much utility.

Razes kit is useful. i dont think its crazy strong or super weak. it's about space.

the B buddy is great becasue its essentially a scout that can do damage. maybe it takes off after someone and gets shot in the back. now you know 2 people are close and which direction they are coming. In lower tiers(where i am likely at 😃) it gives people a panic choice. follow it up with a shotty and the amount of people ive taken out who are looking at the ground shooting at BB is not insignificant.

the c4 pack is more about mobility. get yourself to high ground or bounce around a corner to gun an unsuspecting enemy down. it also does damage which is cool too.

Nade is solid it does good damage but again creates good space. the odd double or triple kill on stacked teams is hilarious as well.

her ult i use mostly as a peak follow up or initiation. fire at heaven from range and you buy yourself a few seconds to position assuming you dont get a kill.

in the end, if im raze and defending mid on the 'Split' map for example, i can delay a whole team long enough for flanks and rotations to take place. or conversely i can break that same spot by lobbing nades and BB buying space then moving in with a shotty.

i am aware that a lot of this is likely because, i am at best of average player skill. however, how effective each character is will differ from skill tiers

Raze is fine.

raze is trash, having one on your team is horrible, having one against you isn't fun. she brings nothing to the team at all and her abilities are ENTIRELY selfish. that being said, playing against her forces you to deal with extremely obnoxious 0 skill gameplay such as her ultimate.

this isnt to say that i think her ultimate is extremely hard to deal with btw, im just saying that SOMETIMES it comes at the wrong time when you are engaged with somebody else and she doesnt even have to peek to kill you, or when you are in a hallway and have nowhere to dodge. she either doesnt have to work for the kill at all, or she just doesnt get it.

HybridMeister

She's crazy - in a good and bad way. While I don't play her myself, I do sometimes struggle to work around her abilities. On the contrary, a well-played Raze on my team is usually a godsend top-fragger. With time, if the community sees her as "too strong", eventually strategies against her will be second to none, making her less viable.

Personally I don't really like Raze...

Rocket launcher seems to have to be almost a direct hit to actually kill a person vs playing the toxic girl whatever her name was and denying an objective / bomb due to massive AOE damage.
The grenade is fine, maybe some tweaks but feels like a grenade.
The Boom Bot whatever it was called seems to be almost wortless, throw it around a corner for example it doesn't even lock on to the nearest enemy most of the time, so to me compared to other classes doesn't do much, easily countered.
Blast Pack, again it beeps telling an enemy exactly where it is, and doesn't have manual detonation, compared to a class that lays the actual traps in game it's again another useless skill.

Other than that I do like the character, but needs fixing.
