Balance patch of perfection.

While I think Valorant is in a really balanced state right now and most agents see play in pro, I think there is a few tweaks that would really make the game chefs kiss.

Phoenix (buff)

Hot hands

  • reduced equip time
  • reduced duration (3.25s -> 2.00)
  • increased healing per second (12.5 -> 25)
  • increased damage per second (60 -> 80)

Blaze

  • reduced equip time
  • is now quick cast (similar to a Jett smoke)

Curveball

  • reduced equip time
  • reduced travel time (0.7s -> 0.55)

Run it back

  • increased ult duration (10s -> 13s)
  • ult can be cancelled at any time (recast)
  • kills in ult now give ult charges

Cypher (buff)
Spycam

  • removed tag ability
  • camera is now always invisible (can still be destroyed)

Trapwire

  • increased possible length of the trip

~~Cyber cage

  • enemies within the Cyber cage are slowed by 10%~~

Neural theft

  • increased hack time (2s -> 4s)
  • now reveals opponents (similar to a Sova dart)

Chamber (nerf)

Rendezvous

  • Increased cooldown (20s -> 30s)

Killjoy (buff)

Lockdown

  • now takes 50% reduced damage from utility
  • Lockdown center point no longer appears on enemies maps (to stop pings and wall spam)

Omen (buff)

Paranoia

  • reduced cost (300g -> 250) to allow for a more comfortable pistol round buy

Astra (buff)

Astral form

  • reduced cooldown of recalled stars (25s -> 15s)

Sova (buff)

~~Owl drone

  • increased movement speed (can now clear as much space as pre nerf)

Kay/O (nerf)

Zero/point

  • no longer reveals which enemy agents were suppressed (instead showing a counter)~~

That's the whole thing, what do you think?
If you want an explanation behind any of my ideas for changes feel free to ask and i will reply!

edit: removed slow on Cypher's cage and Sova + Kay/o changes

Better to have everyone OP rather than having some characters op and some trash.
Its what they do in Dota and its amazing

Oh yea the cypher cam buff would be broken. Just like the general ideas that the OP is tryna say.
I think feenix would need a rework rather than a buff.

Phoenix buff overall is fine, some things are questionable but it doesn’t make him op

I think an agent having ONE op skill is fine, but if cypher's cam is unbreakable then cage shouldn't give slow.

honestly, I think phoenix's molly should start a fire that burns the entire map. otherwise, the ability is trash.
Also, the blazing wall should physically disallow opponents to push through it.
His flash should make a loud sound of a bang that disorientates everyone in the map (including phoenix itself)
and his ult should summon an erupting volcano. Only then, phoenix will be viable

Cypher cam is always invisible? That seems op as fuck if you just relay everyone's positions on site to your teammates. How would they break it if it's invisible?

the point is that they wont break it and you can relay information. (this will never happen in ranked before high diamond?)

its not like the cam is useful at all on offense, you cant tag people anymore and it will be instantly destroyed, so it needs to be pre-set up.

good Sova's and razes can also just use utility on any common spots if its actually an issue and can break it.

Removing center point of kj ult wouldn’t fix anything people could still figure out where it is

if they have to triangulate the KJ ult to spam it they're wasting time. plus the main buff is the damage reduction.

I thought sova’s nerf come with a speed buff to its drone aswell, the nerf is because they can stay up in the air for a long time but the same in term of area it could clear

Apart from the Cypher Cam being always invisible, this is a really solid patch

sova buff and kj buff not needed(but I'll take it xD) and kayo nerf not needed and no need to buff pheonix ult and cypher cam no changes required but otherwise not bad

Chamber's slow time need to be reduced, idrk about his teleporter.

I think hot hands should last longer, creating but possibility for taking space. but thats my opinion
