Im afraid this wont be so, because it's allredy clear that being a ok clah player will take a lot more time than being a good mavric player. Also clash is not going to be that much of a counter for a maestro player that knows how to verticle play. A good mavric player will open up a kill hole or three on the side and then go UP, to open up top killholes. This way the defenders will be cought in a cross fire that only a roamer can get them out off. AND to top it all off his gadget is compleatly silent.

I will wait and see how he is in release. He seems to be vulnerable when cutting and there will have to be roamers making his job difficult on the other side of the reinforcements. However, I thought his torch would have an effect like the exothermic charge. Not as loud but a lot of sparks and a glowing line on the other side of the wall where he was cutting. It seems to cut very quickly as well.
The operators do look like fun to use but I question whether Ubisoft takes some of the feedback on their game seriously. For a while people have been complaining about Siege not being much of a siege when 3 speed attackers simply sprint through the building Q-E spamming with barely any gadget play or teamwork, and defenders turning into attackers as soon as they know where the other team spawned. Soon we will have another 3 speed with a powerful gun and almost universally useful gadget and a defender that can scout outside.
You make good points but speaking for me all I play is Ranked so Maverick is not going to disturb the Meta that much.Originally Posted by fetafretka1 Go to original post
It's going to be about roamers. Plain and simple.
The OBJ is no longer safe, it can't be held. Thatcher or Twitch could take out Mute and Bandit, but they didn't also breach, and Twitch's drone could be shot. Maverick can eliminate Mute and Bandit, as well as Bandit tricking on garage and other outside walls, AND he can create murder holes and openings everywhere. Maestro and Echo are no longer safe on the OBJ.
So you play roamers to keep him off the walls and avoid outside walls, as they are indefensible.
