Issue with is, that this rumor suggests a 2 speed 2 armor operator will be receiving the best gun in the entire game. This is quite literarly twitch 2.0.
The F2 had to be butchered into what it simply because Twitch is a 2 speed. If she was originally 3 armor this would not have happened. Because the gun advantage simply would not be as impactfull.
Fuze while having a below average winrate and a below average pickrate in plat and diamond, has a single thing going for him.
Besides being the thatcher when thatcher is banned (if objective allows it), he has the ak12 which is the best gun in the game. This is sole and only reason why he is picked in platnium and diamond. This is his one redeeming quality. If Odin as a 2 speed really will receive the ak12, then I highly suspect that Fuze's pickrate will reduce to Tachanka level.
Even more so, if Odin has a reasonable gadget.
As someone who has reached plat multiple times, and has done so almost exclusively on Fuze I highly advice that if your goal in the game is to have all operators balanced to not go through with this leak.
I understand that while leaks are not definitive sources of information and even if true, things are subject to change I would like to point out that simillar mistakes of giving operators everything (speed, gadget great gun) has happened before, with old Ela. old Ash and old Jager. I understand that these operators are 3 speed while Odin is 2 speed, but I am worried that it will much like the F2 nerf on twitch make it necessary to nerf the iconic Fuze ak. If this happens, then the least picked attacker in the game, will be picked even less. Especially considering that in 2019 you have destroyed the viability of Fuze shield by increasing the hipfire spread of his pistol by 75%.
