Bucky + Loki Interaction

[Dusk]

TLDR: Bucky gets *FREE ULT CHARGES* for 'killing' a Loki clone.

Personally, I do not think Bucky should get free Ults for destroying a Loki clone. The clone is not a player, and does not function like one. Bucky doesn't get a free full ult from Namor's Monstro Spawn, which are turrets like the clones. Just witnessed a Bucky 'kill' 2 Loki clones, finally get the actual Loki on the 3rd one, and proceeded to win specifically due to having so many extra free chances to spam the team. I don't think it makes sense, nor is it fair that this mechanic exists. While I play Bucky and think its very cool, it gives the community yet another reason to not pick any Healer except Mantis, Luna, and now Susan, even if just slightly. As it offers a Bucky much more freedom to punish an entire team for having a different healer in the team.

I main Bucky as DPS and Loki as a Healer, so I understand both sides of this interaction. But, as niche as it is, I find it harmful to Loki and other support characters. We're all aware that Luna and Mantis are must-picks if you want to win, and that they have much better healing than the other picks, as well has having clutch stuns. Loki is already kind of average due to low healing, no stuns, and is dependent on something that can be destroyed very quickly.

What are your thoughts on this interaction?

You're not supposed to know it's a clone

...But, that doesn't mean anything when the Loki doesn't show up in the kill feed, or that the other 2 are still shooting and moving?

As a Loki player I am fine with it, maybe buff healing a bit from clones

[TooHigh2Die]

Moonknight players LOVE clones as well

skill issue. you press the damage converted to heal button.

i kinda like the idea of loki clones being a thing bucky has to worry about wasting his ult on, but i dont know how well loki performs across the game. if loki was OP i would understand keeping the interaction, but if he's on the lower end...

Thanks for adding nothing to a conversation. NPC Dialogue.

But he doesn't waste his ult. It GIVES him ANOTHER ult. It counts as a player kill, instead of tricking him into wasting it.

this is a non issue, loki has the highest healing output, when he has two clones up (which should be always, for a good loki), so giving bucky this small buff against loki is not a problem. If the bucky is focusing a clone, to extend ult, he isn't doing damage to the team, yeah it extends the ult, but just use lamp (the healing field) and cancel it lol

It's fine, move on.

i meant i like the idea of them changing loki clones into a bucky trap, if he accidentally uses his ult on them he loses it*
