Buff/nerf idea for one eyed mask and ursa furiosa

I personally don't think either of these exotics deserve nerfs as they are more reliant on the users ability to either out kill or outsmart the enemy (in terms of baiting them into shooting your shield). If anything, I think their power is sometimes TOO much when playing against those that have a hard time countering it, so I think I have the dumbest solution to this. Which is a buff/nerf. One eyed mask grants an overshield, the tiniest damage buff known to man (other than autos of course heheh), and it instantly fully restores your health. Not regen, from zero to 100 instantly. This perk can completely negate the nightfall health regen diminishing perks like momentum and uh...im pulling a blank but the one that makes you regenerate REALLY slow. The biggest complaint about it is the health regen and overshield. Me personally, I think the health regen is fine but the shield is overkill. I think getting rid of the overshield is fair considering just how good an instant full heal already is. But I don't think nerfing it like that without a somewhat pair replacement is unjustifiable. So instead of the overshield, maybe it restores a portion of your magazine for the weapon you killed them with from reserves. It would still be INCREDIBLY powerful as an exotic, but it wouldn't make it as crazy as it is with the overshield. Onto ursa: This exotic...woo man is it a hit or miss. With trigger happy players, this exotic becomes so op in crucible, but it's not unbeatable. All supers that attack ursa don't restore ANY super energy and dying mid super will cause you to gain nothing. This is more or less the trade off. In pve, it's a fantastic exotic because ai are constantly firing at you, so it should be fairly good there, but I feel like it's kind of...akward to get your super, block for a bit, then do it again. Rather than it just restoring super energy while you block. So this is where the buff/nerf comes into play. With ursa, I think since it requires twitchy fingers that it can be pretty useless at times, but against them it can be ridiculous. So maybe instead of it granting super energy after you end your super, maybe it would be best for that damage you absorb be just completely transferred to the duration of your super, aka refilling it during it's use rather than after. This would obviously balance it a lot as it would prevent 6-8 supers per game, but I think this is a huge nerf that should be justifiably buffed as well. In pve, this change will make it more valuable for continuously blocking, but not as much in PvP. So they could do this:: Allow this super to infinitely generate orbs as it blocks. Small ones of course. This would promote blocking as well as play a much bigger part in the support role for pve. In PvP, they could change it to be more cumulative. If you get shot by a golden gun and it breaks your shield, generate orbs. If your Bubble gets hit by damage it should continuously generate small orbs. A throw back to that one perk on defender in d1 but obviously a lot more consistent. Keep in mind, I really don't want to change the exotic, but here's an idea for it.

  • Ursas are kind of worthless in PvE. Mostly because everything does piss poor damage to it. I went to Leviathan, made all those big, angry Colossus( Colossi? Maybe they are like octopus, octopi, and cactus, cacti) and blocked. Aaaaand I got hardly much. Orbs? Plenty. My super back? Nah. And in quickplay crucible is the only place they shine, as it's the only place you will find people dumb enough to shoot it. In comp, pretty useless. Unless you find a team of random, bad randos. But quickplay is quickplay and everything is fine there, so long as it isn't the only thing people use. One eyed mask is a different story. Just the duration of tracking is useful for the enemy team, especially in comp. I have a friend who will peek, get shot, and then just call out spots. On top of that, they use Wish Ender. Information is incredibly game changing in Comp. And the near instant heal and over shield is a bit much. Needs to be one or the other. Even I can smell the tears of Wormhusk a mile away, because they only got health back and a health bump. Though I will say, it is no doubt, super useful in PvE. Somehow, PvE needs to be considered when changing exotics for the sake of PvP, and we know how badly Bungo does that.

  • The Ursa is infinitely inferior to Doomfang.

  • One eye mask yes could be slightly looked at but Ursa is a hell no. Ursa only works against stupid players for the last time. Don't be a stupid player and Ursa is useless.

      I'd love all these changes, though I do think One-Eyed shouldn't track as long. Just a slight reduction, anywhere from a 20% - 33% duration decrease. As well as updating the description to include the health regen, if it's not taken out. Since according to it, the regen shoudn't exist. Though personally, I'd rather just ban Exotic armor(or even weapons too, but maybe not) from Competitive. Essentially just implementing a similar ruleset to the one seen here: https://mobile.twitter.com/dtrchampions/status/1051886120852697089?s=21 Just the bare minimum, as some of them are probably too harsh or specific for the overall playerbase. The rules are made for 3v3, but when there's more than that, there's a rule of no duplicate subclasses(so no more teams of all Blade Barrages, Nova Warps, or Sentinels with Ursa). While that'd do nothing for Quickplay, I think it would alleviate the problem somewhat in games that matter(AKA Ranked), and minimize nerfs that could/would negatively affect PvE.
