Remember how bad Octane used to be?

I never TRULY appreciated him until now 😂

Ah yes, the crap jump pad, but the tickle stim was kinda worth it since now it's actually a noticable chunk of health to use.

[Eagles]

Friend of mine maind him during that time and it's so funny to think about just how bad octane was back then. Now he's a loot stealing speed demon.

[JudeHavoc]

Oh yeah? Well remember when they nerfed Octanes jump pad right before Storm Point, the biggest Apex map this far? Lol

[themux]

from dogwater to one of the most played legends lmao

[MrDoubtful]

The trick was to jump right when you hit the pad

[jessehamilton]

From dogwater to one of the best legends to dogwater. Crazy how they’re so ready and willing to nerf him after one season of dominance but Gibby can be dominant for 6 seasons and CRICKETS

[FLUXXEUS]

They nerfed his distance again a while back (right after adding his Olympus rotation marker) ... I still can't get over it 😔

[masummirza]

season 8 octane was him in his prime, i fucking loved darting around KC with the new pad rework, you felt like you were flying and that your ult could actually compete with horizon’s or path’s tactical at the time

[Chronospherics]

It's not even that bad. He had better stim then given that it only took 10 hp, and faster pad generation. Now you're waiting quite a long time to get a pad. The pad in this instance could still be fairly decisive in fights, get damage on someone and you could comfortably slide and pad push them up to 50 feet away, that's a good distance for most engagements. Also in the early days, it was only Octane and Pathfinder that could capitalise on high ground easily, so having a way to get your team up to height quickly without the vulnerability of a zipline could be very powerful in certain instances.

I've played Octane since he dropped. Up at 30k kills now.

I like how he cracked his knuckles before the showcase.😂

Man, after playing with Octane in the later seasons, the jump pad part physically hurt me

[michaelstevenson]

It may have been bad but in the right hands he will forever be an amazing character no matter what. The day his stim uses half hp is the day he’s useless

[wolf_redbatt]

I love these videos. I got into Apex day after launch and played until a little after rampart released. I always had 2 friends to play with so seeing these videos remind me of a time when I was younger and had more free time.

[acronyx]

Well, the true Octane mains back then knew the trick. Which was to perfectly time a Jump as soon as you hit the pad, you get extra height and distance. Almost as much as the double jump would give you.

[Sebastianator]

Rip El Risitas👊🏻 your laugh went down in history as the funniest of all time

[lolguy]

Got octane when he first came out, played him for a bit then when I got yelled at by my friends for "Why aren't you double jumping lmao" I realized he got updated

[cornie]

We not gonna remember when octane stim glitch was in the game and you could go 500km/hr you could zoom around the map with full control like it was absurd

[PatatoFamine]

I prefer old octane's pads honestly. Less floaty, I find myself getting beamed way to often now since that change. Another good thing about the old one was that it wasn't really used to travel cross map or to run away from action it was also mainly used for tactical flanks and fast hoping over the original maps small buildings and walls.

[Betroid]

I remember this game had 8 characters and gibby was conscidered a troll pick when the wingman had 0 recoil when the havoc rifle could cross map when wraith was broken as shit and when mirages ult did absolutely nothing

[Purisdan]

Yo the laugh at the end took me TF out 😂
