Blitz is OP

[Flying Ace]

He can fully blind from far away, he can shoot immediately after he flashes you, he can sprint while he's holding his shield in front of him and now he'll be even faster.
"ugh, he has a cooldown, just don't stare at him"
That cooldown is nothing, he can flash you faster than you can regain your sight. Not staring at an enemy equals death. It's not like Montagne. When you turn around while Montagne has his shield up you can hear him putting that shield down plus you can turn around faster than he can start shooting at you.
I lost so many rounds because this ♥♥♥♥er blinded me from a mile away.
"fight him from a long distance and try to flank him, don't attack him head on"
You can fight him from a long distance only on certain maps and in those maps you need to be in a certain area. Plus I can't fight him from a long distance when I'm a defender. Sure, it is possible, but without ACOG it's almost impossible. What was I supposed to do when I was in a small area and I had Smoke. Blitz just blinded me and I tried to run because I remembered the route to "safety" but he could easily track me and he flashed me AGAIN. Then he killed me with ease. That particular situation happened in Theme Park. There was a doorway, an opened wall and behind the wall another doorway. How am I supposed to flank him in a hallway or a small room?
He was OP even before he got buffed. Flashing shield is a terrible idea.

*sees blitz*
*gets blinded by blitz*
*kills blitz whilst flashed*

Being flashed is not the end.

Also I don't recall his flash range being buffed. His flash range to fully blind you is still low. You must make sure he doesn't close the gap. You got barricades and such for a reason.

Blitz's shield is famed for how unprotective it is. Shoot him, if he is sprinting at you his legs are wide open.

Blitz by no means is unstoppable.

Wrong

And? Few other characters have a sizeable cooldown after using their abilities, and Blitz' flash doesn't last for the longest time either.

This has been the case for a long time. And it's not even like it makes him invincible - shoot his feet or something.

Wrong again. The recent TTS changes make it so that he's significantly slower than he originally was on TTS. He's faster than he is on live, for sure, but he's not a speed demon by any means.

He only has 5 flash charges. If he spams it like you say he does, then a Blitz can only really take out one person. In any case, where are your teammates to help you out?

That's a counter to Montagne. Similarly, Blitz has a counter of being more than 7 meters away from him, which more or less completely negates his flash.

You're acting like you need some huge distance to not be blinded by Blitz. His flash's range is about 7 meters, and even at that point you're still going to be able to see pretty well. Do you really need 2.5x magnification for 7 meters?

I think you're missing the point of Smoke - to use your smoke grenades as a huge counter to slower characters, particularly shield characters. Are you that bad at the game, or just being a troll?

Wait guys, nevermind! This guy doesn't even own Siege. Just trolling.

If u try to fight blitz close up youll get flashed and killed(unless flash fails and u get lucky), if u run away he will ads, and trying to shoot his arm long range is hard. The only way is downing/killing blitz from the back before he turns around.

I don't play as Ela that much, I only like her icon, that's why I'm using it.
I know about the Ela nerf, but I don't care, Ela won't be useless.

Yes, I was partly trolling. I do own Siege on Uplay since I bought it from instant gaming (standard edition for about a$15).
The only thing I was serious about is making him faster isn't good.
People were complaining about Jager and Bandit spawnpeeking like I was about Blitz (well, I wasn't being real, but some of you fell for it).
Ubisoft removed acog from Jager and Bandit (even from Smoke's and Sledge's SMG-11 ages ago) so this thread might make Ubisoft nerf Blitz' speed (if it's not going to be nerfed already).

Stop rushing him from the front like a toxic ela main you are.

B-b-b-baited!
One post above I said I don't main Ela and I said that I was trolling. Did you honestly think that I was being real? I would never complain about an operator on discussions.

Blitz's speed was a mistake and Ubisoft admitted that. What happened was that he didnt have the modifiers active when using his equipment which made him faster. They fixed the issue and he should now work as intended. He should now be a slower 2 speed.

1. Nothing wrong about being a Jäger main
2. I don't main anyone, but my most used operators are Jackal on attack and Caveira on defence.
