BOB contests the checkpoint...wtf?

Was this a glitch?? I just lost a game because the opponents Ashe summoned B.O.B tovchsrge onto the objective and contest it. How is that fair it’s like if Hanzo could contest a point as long as his arrow was in the ground on the point.

Bob acts like a 7th hero on the team and this is one use case for Ashe’s ult. She takes quite a while to get her ult up, its quite different to a hanzo arrow which he has available all the time :wink:

FWIW other things that make Bob into a 7th team hero: He can be slept, stunned, discorded, healed, nanoboosted and pretty much any other effect. He can’t be rezzed though :frowning:

Bob totally intentionally counts as a teammate. Loving it. Bob can also be nanoed, healed, bubbled, and all other things that you can do to teammates.

Making ashe the first champion to have 2 forms of CC, A harsh D.O.T effect, And the only champion who can effectively summon a temporary secondary champion to the field.

A secondary hero is not a form of cc.

No but the knock up into the air, that bob performs, is CC

BOB himself isn’t that strong, because part of his value IS counting as a 7th team member (contesting, buffs, etc)

That’s akin to saying that Rein’s melee is cc.

No it is not, you can setup ult potential with bobs knockup, like shatter, dragons etc. Even that said, then yes, reins melee is a minor form of CC.

Bobs knock up is equal to doomfists, pretty much.

I feel it makes her very overpowered. She will be the only champion on the roster who can deal mass damage from range and contest points without setting an inch of boot near the designated area. And with bob being both a HARD knock up and a potential disruption to things like Mcree-ults or Reaper ults i feel her implementation will do more harm than good

Bob is like a d.va bomb that doesn’t kill you immideatly, just slowly walking behind any object counters bob, he needs this to actually motivate the enemy team to contest him.

The entire team is not going to “Slowly walk into cover” when there is an active threat on point. Further, characters aren’t going to plop their backsides down and just let the whole team rush the objective just because an omnic the size of a small truck saunter stoically onto objective
