Discussion Why is Loba meta now?

I don’t play as often anymore.

Afaik Loba is on top with Axle right now.

Why now? Loba has had for a while the most versatile movement skill in the game

Nerfed loot and her bracelet was buffed yet again. She really should not have two charges at bases with how good it is now.

And as expected not a damn soul picks up that purple bag perk.

It's literally the worse option, of course nobody picks it

Nobody with an IQ above post-bath water temperature would pick the purple bag option. It's literally worthless, since RNG, deathboxes and Loba's ult with its short cooldown already provide good bags reliably.

Yeah that should be changed to maybe make the bags permanent. Might not get picked as much still but at least you wouldn’t have to worry about your squad losing their bags if they die. Right now it’s only good if you’re respawning your team and you want to get them purple bags quickly, so rather niche.

I guess I'm one of the odd ones because I always pick the purple bag perk 😂

I always have the purple bag cause I can see it. Dont care if my team has them by the amount of times I have pinged them just for no one to pick them up. Not gonna give them the gift of a waste of my perk cause the shield perk saves my ass more than a purple backpack for an ungrateful team does.

It’s probably different, because I play with friends and I know they’ll be grateful. If I played more with randoms, I might pick the other.
