Ratchet synergy with Optimus Prime affected by nerf

Fyrintenimar

This was not mentioned in the nerf info, so thinking it may be unintentional. Tactical version of Prime has synergy with ratchet where the sttack buff from roll out becomes a heal buff. The nerf to ratchet nerfed that synergy. Now, the synergy does not take effect until Prime is at 1/2 hp or lower.

That's a feature.

The roll out proc depends on health missing from prime. Lower health = higher chance. Was never 100%.

Unless of course it's the same self diagnostic proc as ratchets and it's the buff that can't be triggered above 50% health ... yeah not unthinkable. I didn't test it...

This is how it always was. Rollout gave the normal attack buff at >50% health, but the synergy turned it into a repair buff at <50% health. Never been otherwise

That's not true, I often have Optimus getting life at the beginning of the fight. As it is random, you might have only seen it under 50% life.

It wasn't random and I'm going off the description of the synergy in-game before the update. Sorry that I can't provide evodence for that because I don't have a pre-update screenshot, but that's how it's always been

If you used to get some repair at the beginning of the fight, it must've been caused by something else
