Ballistic is a legend who very heavily relies on your gunplay. You basically have nothing else, to leave a fight, or any utility. He seems like a legend, who enhances the skills of pros, rather that help the noobs. He only really shines in an offensive playstyle, but i guess that one's the most fun anyways
I have to disagree, ballistic thrives with team play. Yes, you can shred someone before they even have a chance to react with a tempest and a REEEEEEE-45, but it's often a better idea to let your other teammates be more aggressive with it while you stay a bit further back, since he doesnt have many in-combat utiltiies. His main advantage probably does lie in his ultimate though, since it can all but completely negate his team's reliance on ammo, saving valuable inventory space for grenades, ult chargers, heals, etc. If your ballistic goes down though, you've left in 'Nam without any ammo supply.
Little correction, overheat does NOT deal 30 dmg as base (as of now) . It deals dmg based on your enemies HP. So if your enemy has 1 hp, whistler will do 0 DMG to Armour. If your enemy also has more than 1 hp but still low, whistler can do low dmg. How ever the impact damage is always the same. So do not be surprised that overheat did little damage on low hp opponent.
How is his tac overpowered ? From my playing his ability is far from OP, it warns the enemy they are tracked , if you are behind cover you can make the whistler miss and if you do overheat you are not forced to switch weapons or are debuffed in any way , and if you are low HP it cant even kill or damage armour in any meaningfull way. If anything I think its underpowered.
i swear y'all whining over everything cos you simply cant deal with it , are the reason why some legends gets nerfed to death , sort out your skills mate u clearly have skill issue
Fun fact, after getting the buff from his ult, you dont have to be close to him to him to keep it, its until the timer goes out, so you can go as far as you want
Fun Fact: In the new battle pass, there is a background card for Seer which showcases a brand new Titan mech behind him. Paired with the subtle Titanfall esque changes, i'd say there is hope on the horizon for TF3(mega copium)
Even with the evac tower ,I feel like valk will still see a lot of play. Since in competive all the teams will immediately shoot at the evac tower destryoying it. However valk's ultimate can be used safely
11:06 I agree that it would be interesting but if they were to ever implement it, it would have to be either a separate game mode like gun run or a firing range exclusive
I think that a cool character passive would be a character that could pick up and move deathboxes, meaning they have to carry it in there hands because it’s to big to fit in their bag, they could pick it up and put it in front of doors, but you wouldn’t be able to stack the boxes while being inside a building so that it’s not possible to completely seal a door. Out doors you would be able to stack deathboxes 2 high so you can use them as a cover you have to crouch behind.
I've been using him lately as a knowledgeable-but-mechanically-inept player, as having that overheat to force passivity in enemies is an excellent way to give myself some breathing room where I would otherwise be panicking trying to get them down before they laser me. I would say he's decently newbie-friendly, thanks to that, and a good way to get some actual practice in with the mechanical side of things since you're not being sent back to the menu as soon as you see another player.
Hey Macro, congrats on voicing Mateo in the new Lego Dreamzzz series! I heard the main character, and I was like there is no way this is Macro... turns out it is you! So just wanted to congrats you, plus now I'm definitely watching the whole series!
i hit a 16 kill TDM match with ballistic the other day and MAN that ultimate is hella nice if your team is cornered and you're just like "i gotchu homie" and gives your entire team that reload and movement speed bonus

My dad went kind of ballistic…
ain't gonna lie your dad was cool af in that custume
Can you please do valorant agents for noobs??
ur dad should me the 25th Legend
OOP-
Your Dad, thats awesome
absolutely unreal how macro's probably going to end up looking like ballistic in a few decades
Considering what his dad looks like probably
should have said "absolutely ballistic" 😔
@@someone6803 that would not make sense
This means apex will be real
@@Tim2015-r8w and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing
Fun fact: ballistic's ult and Maggie's passive stacks and if you use Maggie's ult as well you move faster than a octane stim
Poor speedy demon😢
But, his ult + maggies + Octane?
@@GenericUserName443Apex is slowly becoming faster
@Icost yeah it's good but Maggie goes faster with the passive so meh
@@GenericUserName443 right??
He really got his dad to do the intro just to have that cool ass scene.
Was awesome btw
Finally
and his dad has aged like fine wine *chef’s kiss*
Yes ofc
Macro's intro skit never fail to entertain me
NOOOOB NOOOOB NOOOOOB, miss the old song 💀
I still call Caustic fartist just because of him and he probably why i main Caustic too.
buff caustic plz.
I love how your dad was totally chill with being in this, what a cool dad
"Having a third gun is faster than reloading your other two."

The best quote of 2023🙏😔😔

The anxiety I felt thinking he was gonna smash that cup

does ballistic speaks bottle of water?
Macro's dad freaking killed it
Been bingeing Macro videos all day and he just so happens to post what a W
Sooo much respect to macro's dad🤣
As a revenant main, I think ballistic is amazing to play. His whistler ability is a lot like revenants silence which made him easy for me to learn.
RIP rev silence
99% of current rev mains prob only paid attention to him cuz of the rework
@@ThedreadrogueYT 🪦RIP lol

We can always count on macro for some quality content. Absolutely the GOAT
The idea you threw in at the end works very well for Ballistic because you're getting old versions of the guns.
The firing range also has the false walls from titan fall 2’s level where you fight ash
YOUR DAD SLAYED THAT BALLISTIC ROLE HAHA LOVE IT
Daaamn, your dad looking good with the Ballistic drip!
This intro skit is so good and creative, well done Macro.
He’s really fun to use, but I believe his tactical is a little overpowered. Much love!
couldve been something like an lstar overheat and not like you can only fire a few rounds

It’s no where near op what are you on about it’s perfectly balanced
i swear y'all whining over everything cos you simply cant deal with it , are the reason why some legends gets nerfed to death

Yal noobs call anything op

Bruh, this is the best skit yet. I love the fact your dad got involved, also it's a trip that he looks like an older you in that photo.
Ever since you told that on the stream I've been waiting to see macro's dad go ballistic and damn he got that drip!
I personally think that he needs a boost in the whistler because the zone that it forms when you shoot it to a surface doesn't lasts a lot
Have you seen Revs tactical?? It's much much harder to land and smaller AOE
@@MrAgentTurner but at least it lasts more time than ballistic's and also he can throw more than one
The eject tower literally made valk useless
Fun fact: Ballistic is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes, the same voce actor for the Medic in tf2.
He is moderately difficult, while the skills are easy to catch, his kit is still based on weapons. If you can't hit, 2 skills become weak.
Dude, your dad is the best. I can't believe how well this bit is. Wow, amazing work
Macro needs to make a tierlist of all his intro skits
Dude holy SHIT your dad did an incredible job acting that intro scene out, he looks like an absolute BADASS
Even with the evac tower ,I feel like valk will still see a lot of play. Since in competive all the teams will immediately shoot at the evac tower destryoying it. However valk's ultimate can be used safely
I think she goes more higher in the air than the evac tower
Well kind of safely. Harder to shoot out a valk ult than a giant balloon.
Oh man the smurfs are gonna love this.
macro getting his dad involved in the intro skit is such a w. ✌️😌
Ballistic's backstory basically sums up that his son is joining next season
He seems pretty balanced tbh even with every team having one I don’t mind it
10/10 video for Marco’s dad
would love to see your dad acting James Bond. please more
That was disrespectful putting revenant right next to forge’s T-shirts😂
11:06 I agree that it would be interesting but if they were to ever implement it, it would have to be either a separate game mode like gun run or a firing range exclusive
You weren't lying about the cosplay
Edit. this is one the best intros and THE BEST FOR NOOBS VIDEO
Why his dad got the fit tho
Macros dad stole the show, bravo👏👏👏👏
0:16 the power puff girls made me smile showing the fact macro is the best TH-camr
This is going to hit so hard in a year, where this guide will be so nostalgic and outdated like Mirages guide.
A new character in the mcu (macro cinematic universe)
6:56 , let the kitsune guide you
"and he looks good doing it
Hey thats mirages line
Those intros never gets old
I think that a cool character passive would be a character that could pick up and move deathboxes, meaning they have to carry it in there hands because it’s to big to fit in their bag, they could pick it up and put it in front of doors, but you wouldn’t be able to stack the boxes while being inside a building so that it’s not possible to completely seal a door.

Macro Dad as Ballistic is absolutely perfect
Honestly my favourite intro skit in a really long time
Really love the forge merch next to the Revenant cardboard cut out
I love how they got a genuine old person and macro's dad for the intro
Seer, Rev, and Ballistic would be a deadly combination
Your dad got that max drip 😮💨🥶
Lets go I’ve been waiting for this since update
Fun Fact: Ballistic is voices by Robin Atkin Downes, who also voiced the Medic from Team Fortress 2.
Been a long while since I've watched Macro's videos. Missed this.
love the zero the hero reference!
Ballistic is Runway in Rogue Company. Nice Intro: Dad Killed it
Senor Macro, gracias por aparecer en este video. Lo que me he reido no tiene precio. Tremenda actitud.
haven't seen for noobs for a whole season welcome back bro
Ballistic braught me back to apex and i love it
A new amazing character for the Macro-verse!
10/10 games, and there is even more content after you promote, such as overclocks and Deep Dives
W macros dad as Ballistic.
1:27 WHY WAS THAT SO WELL TIMED
“Side effects may include death, nausea amnesia, THE POWERPUFF GIRLS, cancer” had me laughing
Kinda funny this came out on mothers day
Props to your dad to help with the bit!
W intro skit, W dad, W ballistic drip, W merch, W video, W Macro

Posting this on mother's day i see macro
Papa Macro knocked it out of the park.
I'm always here for your weirdly satisfying intro.
That Hercules reference was so good
That bit in the beginning was great
i hit a 16 kill TDM match with ballistic the other day and MAN that ultimate is hella nice if your team is cornered and you're just like "i gotchu homie" and gives your entire team that reload and movement speed bonus
macro you got your family in this?
whole different level of inspiration
fr the best skit before a for noobs vid.
W Macro's dad
The fact that you made your dad do ballistic makes it even better
that skit was so good, that was the best wrong, I think you've done
This is a amazing intro shout out to macros Dad 👍🏾😂
1:26 was so clean 😂
The intro🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯
Macros dad lookin stylish
Intro was an absolute banger
MacDad is a HUGE W for being in the skit
Props to Macros dad for agreeing to make the skit
The BO2 Font from the skit on the 'Macro's Dad's House'😂
Ballistic is my favorite character from the past few.
I love Macro's skits mannnnn
The ultimate collab we didn't expect
Might be the best intro 😂😂😂
Kraber as second weapon and an smg in the sling for close fights is stupid OP
Respawn is so cool for making legends based on you and your family, like how they made balistic after your dad😮
I really like the Buff idea you mentioned ;)
