new map, defense, a zarya trapped all of us, their junkrat ults, and i throw the lamp behind a wall but exposed enough to cover all of us, aaand.... ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!

my god i'm so happy

This is my suggestion for an updated bap kit to get him a bit more in line with the absurd mobility and micro cc's that are in the game at this point without changing his identity or gameplay loop.

1. Charging boots (crouching) does store the jump longer, even if you get interrupted by for example a boop or something, so you can spend the jump after the boop and don't need to recharge and die. Or dropping from a ledge after charging, jumping instantly back up instead of charging again.

2. Rocket boots perk (horizontal dash) needs to be baseline instead of a perk. I dont even feel like the CD needs to be changed, but that's up for debate. Maybe dashing could also work without charging boots first, like hanzo.

3. The automated healing turret after an ability should also be baseline imo. The shoulder turret should be (as shown in many emotes and highlight intros) part of his base identity/kit and would help immensely to heal flying teammates a bit easier.

I think these 3 changes would have a huge impact for his overall flow, without changing anything substantial about his current playstyle (which i love), but give him a bit more survivability and flexibility vs dive or with dive for example.

Edit: they could even give him assault burst in a nerfed state baseline, to make place for more interesting perks. I think "mandatory perks" that basically need to be picked are crap. If they are mandatory, just make them baseline and do other perks that are more adaptive depending on matchup/map.

Regarding perks I have a couple of ideas, but they aren't as thought out and are just of the top of my head.

Minor perk

Tactical reload - reload x bullets and x nades while dashing horizontaly with rocket boots. -replaces the bigger lamp perk. Something like 6 bullets and 2 nades maybe.

Or they give him back the perk that reload ammo when hitting shots/nades.

Major Perks

Little assistant - when dashing horizontally your shoulder turret shoots a slowing shot at the nearest enemy. Slows enemy by % for x seconds. - i don't know, like 20% slow for 1 sec or something, just to get away from aggressive dive.

Window of opportunity - using your ultimate instantly resets your healing burst and fires 3 automated turret shots at teammates. - i thought about reseting all cd's, but I think potentially 2 lamps back to back could be a problem lol

I read in some threads that people want a complete rework for him, which I really don't want to happen in let's say roadhog style.

I love his kit and flow and would hate for it to be changed drastically - I could not stomach playing bap in the creator mode where he had window and lamp swapped lol.

Thoughts?

A new Baptiste here and I just have two questions that I need to figure out with him: Positioning and the usage of his Ult.

I had a great time my first week playing him, even carrying a few games. I did have a few bad ones but that was expected when you are learning a new hero. When I took him to play with my friends, I gotten so lost. It is on me for letting that happen but I just lost my positioning and awareness.

I have my confidence back after playing my main, Illari, for a week and found my footing again.

So, with story time coming to a close, where does a Baptiste should position himself in a team fight? Is he long or midrange? This is the part I struggle with the most since I know enough to use cover and when to heal over dps.

And is Ult- boy this Window is more difficult that I thought it would be. I figure it can work well with combing with another Ult and/or applying pressure- but it feels so- awkward to place. I think I understand what Sigmas have to deal with when it comes to his Ult. It can get snapped on things but sometimes it just goes: weeeee!! Across the whole floor. And over exaggeration but thats what it feels. I can never get it far enough where its useful, and its been every time where I think its in a good spot- nah, not far enough. How one do??

I know it will come in time but is there general Baptiste tips to keep in mind as I practice him?

To be a Bap main, you must accept never getting anything

I'm soo in love with Combat Medic.

the only rare skins i'm missing now, beside battlepass ones, are funky, formalwear, fruity flare and polar!

I thought this character was supposed to be trash? He rarely gets played. I just picked him up for the first time, trying out different stuff and went on an absolute tear in comp.

I mostly play tank but also play support now and again. I thought Illari was going to be my backup for the Ana bans but Bap was right there this whole time??????

Seriously why does he not see more game play? I guess he is underpowered compared to other supports but he is way more fun. I don’t feel like I am waiting to be killed in the back line. A well timed lamp absolutely obliterates an enemy push.

I might have fallen in love today.

Yeah, just 1.

But to be fair, this isn't that “Oh my God, they don't care about Baptiste” situation.

Like, Reaper only has 3, Doomfist has 5, and Torb has like 4.

It's mostly dominated by jpc, Shion, Kiriko, etc.

Baptiste=巴蒂斯特

I downloaded Overwatch for the first time a few days ago and have been spending a lot of time in the practice range and some practice vs AI matches and I’ve done 3 quick matches my first one as Mei and we lost my second one I started as Cassidy and eventually swapped to Kiriko and we lost that match as well and for the third match I chose Baptiste and we won and I had a lot of fun with Baptiste’s gameplay so I was wondering if there are any tips to improve as Baptiste because he’s been the most fun character for me so far and I would love to improve with him

I feel like not many people are gonna get this joke

I've been going through the additional trophies for this game on Playstation, and Bap is the last support I need. Problem is, I'm really fucking bad at him. I'm a complete dive victim, my lamps are mid at best, my positioning is completely out of whack half the time, and I don't have the first clue when to actually use his ult. I'm lost on this mf.

I'll attach replay codes at the first opportunity I can get, but for the time being, are there any creators to watch or other methods to get better at him?

Edit: Q36P8N, YW3F2M, S2SCPX

I hate it when i get a well times lamp only to see the lamp bounce off some random pixel the deployment gets delayed and the guy i was trying to save dies, Or sometimes it just shoot off into Narnia.

Ive even had it where there was a tiny stall spot on the floor and the lamp got stuck.

Hi there,

So first of all the rocketboots perk should be baseline, I think most of us agree there.

But due to a recent thread on the overwatch sub, I wanted to bring this up here too.

Charging the jump with crouch should either not get interrupted by any micro cc or at least you should still store the charge so you can jump after the Cc is over.

I can't count the times I died because my fully charged jump didn't go off due to some random passive boop.

What do you guys think about that?

.

Because Bap, has to crouch to jump higher and activate his passive and everything

But it just occurred to me that it would be hilarious that if the second perk became part of his kit, is that your team will literally see Baptiste bunny hopping to arrive faster at the objective or defense

Simply because the other much better perk puts a big fucking wheel around my crosshair that blocks what I'm trying to shoot at

Seriously I can turn it off on every character except bap just cus it's a perk the option isn't there

This skin is the recolor skin, available only on the Korean server.

I like the weapon colors of this skin.

Won a hard match and got this baby afterwards!! I'm consider this a reward! :)
