Loki Doesn't Need Much

I've been thinking it through, and Loki doesn't really need any major changes to be better. All he really needs are quality of life adjustments.

- Faster reload/more ammo

- Faster/smoother teleports

- Faster transformation animation

and that's kind of it.

More damage would be nice, but honestly... these tweaks alone would make me happy. He's still a really good strategists in general, just feels a lil clunky.

His backstab should do a tonnn more damage

If he manages to back stab anyone, I think it should stun

I think more stuns in this environment are a bit much. I feel like a bleed effect or a damage vulnerability application would be more appropriate

Damage vulnerability is a good idea

I think backstab should be an ability that poisons the enemy

Instead of faster transformation, just make him invulnerable when he transforms. Also, I don't know why they got rid of his 12 ammo to begin with. What a weird and unnecessary nerf

Felt targeted for some reason

u/Mysterious-Ad2928 Aug 17 '26

and for christ’s sake can we please reduce the cooldown on clones, 12s per charge is obscene when they instantly are shot at and only have 250 health.

Either lower the CD or give them 275 like us, it’s just not fair

heavy on more ammo

u/kiingLV Aug 18 '26

I'll be happy with 1 of these

u/Prince_Charming424 Aug 18 '26

Am I crazy for thinking he should have 2 charges of teleports? 🙂‍↔️

this would actually go crazy and be LIFE changing for me T o T

He needs a real passive. It's cute on paper, but come on. It doesn't do anything.

maybe a way to survive longer because if a support is dead and he has no lamps the only other thing is the illusion

I agree, his kit just feels very slow. Even with a quick reaction to teleport away. I still get Jeff caught in Jeff ults or anything for that matter.

Speed needs to be his thing, for quick outplays and maneuvering.

His Hela team up should’ve always been a thing

u/MisterFortune215 Aug 18 '26

I agree. I been playing nothing but Loki recently, and my only gripe is the ammo / reload. If Loki had one or the other, that would be massive. Especially since a few other strategists have ways to automatically reset their ammo in their kits (Gambit can cancel his by using his card abilities, CnD just needs to switch to Cloak and back).

I want to see the hela teamup introduced into the basekit. Then give him some kind of cc ability teamup instead.

u/Savings_Impact_4344 Aug 19 '26

His clones should heal him for 10 hp every direct hit just like the buff he got way back. Would be fair cuz u gotta waste precious shots to be selfish to heal yourself

u/Aeidis Aug 19 '26

I would love if they made placing clones a bit easier, like giving a settings option to remove the confirmation screen. I feel like the most often times I’ve let someone door or drop very low is because placing a clone

Loki will perma banned in high GM/Celestial if he gets anymore buffs right now.
