Kj is kinda weak

Killjoy is good only with her ultimate ready and its just like one round per half if u not feeding her kills. Meanwhile her competition have much more useful stuff. Cypher gives his team insane amount of information with every single ability. And viper is just better both as anchor and post plant. Especially after recent buff. And viper's ult also not much worse than lockdown.
Of course its just my opinion and I want to hear other's thoughts

I play kj a good amount and I think you can pull off some pretty cheese stuff with her swarm nades post plant and stuff. Also, her ability to slow down/split up attacker pushes with mollies is really good. Info wise cypher is better but she's in a relatively good place. Maybe a second alarm bot would be cool?

No range alarm bot would make her wayyyyy better on attack, making her on par with cypher IMO. She is not impactful on attack because of the range requirements, and feels 100% worse to play when compared to cypher rn.

i agree. kj is good only on icebox. otherwise cypher is better by far

KJ is buffed by the maps and agents being released. Right now I'd argue she's on average better than cypher as a base but some cypher mains make the agent much more viable than he should be imo. KJ is picked a lot more now just to combo with Astra with her ult/nades she's also really practical on these big maps. On attack she feels awful this is a common complaint and pretty true because the range on your utility is restricting but the range your utility itself covers is insane. You're sentry can cover an entire choke and your alarmbot covers a lot on its own too.

tldr: cypher is arguably better if you know how to play him but KJ is stronger without any experience and is better because of the combos you can do with other agents

plus brimstone can drop his massive american ass fart laser on KJ’s ult to destroy it.

Killjoy does seem to do nothing on haven, bind and split for sure (especially bind) but she's very decent on icebox and ascent imo. I think a little buff could be quite reasonable

I main killjoy,

What she needs is to have the AOE buffed back to what it was originally. It's the only thing i miss. having to stay with utility is really debilitating in ranked games cos comms are poor and teams are unreliable.

kit wise, she is great. really good post-plant, good on lurks, can clutch well. As long as you have a player or two who actually know what duelists are for and open sites, she can make a real impact.

killjoy is pretty good on defense with her turret and ult for retake is great. But her nanoswarms are a bit weak, in the sense that they are easy to defend against.
