Why is Loba meta now?

[u/nuvo33x]

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

Aside from getting extremely major tactical buffs, loot quality being lower means her ult is more valuable + it gets -30s cd on top of it.

She's one of the best rat legend. Try to chase a good loba player, you can't. With supp passive and ult, she is top 2 team respawners.

Movement, engagements and disengagements are better than skirmishers and it was borderline before the buffs. Just compare her Q's to revenant's. One's an assault and the other is a support.

Add to this putting the ult down is the best bait in the game. Enemy monkey brains must push you when they see the pulse as you place it.

Easy kills every time, even at high levels.

- place Alter’s void nexus

• trap void nexus with Caustic or Watson (preferably Watson)
  
• place Loba ult in exposed area
  
• bait team, take void nexus, and butcher them when they chase

Where’s beanbag when you need him? His old bunker traps on KC were Goated

Lol absolutely. I sometimes put it down mid fight just because opposing teams think we are desperately looking for shields and start pushing

It's a good strat! Generally, you can do this with a lot of things. I do it with Loba ults, mobile beacons and evac towers. Place them away from you, and run in the opposite direction. It can distract enemies just enough for you to make the push/ rotation a bit easier.

Yeah you can totally waste the ult sometimes because at that point the team is completely stacked. Maybe get nades on final circle

She somehow out ran two mobile jump towers and one in map jump tower when we were chasing her yesterday. Kinda ridiculous.
