Viper def needs to be nerfed but what changes would they make? Imo, reducing the fuel heavily would ruin her so instead u could:
This would make her pick rate less across other maps but still keep her a main on some
Thoughts?
???? he doesn't have to be? he's a wall smoker with a reuseable wall, and the devs quite literally said explicitly that viper was too strong and needed competition so they introduced harbor, only for them to royally fuck up and not nerf viper enough, if you don't think the way vipers kit works is broken then idk what to say
viper is picked for comfort not because shes crazy OP. she makes the game less chaotic and brings a sense of "standard". she also happens to be really good on 5/7 the maps and is playable on basically all of them. viper opens up the game and the meta, she doesnt close it or narrow it down. the real solution is a new map pool
She can't change how the map's played on attack and be a viable anchor on defense as well, so I think they should reduce her Molly count to 1(and in return make that 1 Molly actually able to kill people w heavy shields as it only does ~136dmg).
Also imo give her a max fuel so she can't just have infinite vision denial w a wall that can cut 3 different angles at once. I would say a total fuel amount of 45-60 sec(can only stay up for a max of 15sec at a time) but I'd rather the devs figure the perfect number. Definitely don't reduce the current fuel's recharge rate, it's fine as it is.
It's not a map pool problem she is just innately too strong, I say this as a viper main. I just pray pray and pray they don't butcher her like they did chamber
Everyone saying map pool don't know what they're talking about, every map out of the pool right now was also getting viper played in them. Anyways yeah she needs a pretty hefty nerf. Adding an alternative will just do what harbor did and they will be played together, because frankly, on most maps double controller is usually better than any other double role on a pro level.
Dont nerf agents, buff other agents instead or even bring a new one into the Game
A upcoming smoker need an ability for permanent presure like the a smoke Where you Can only place ones but be able to activate every 10 seconds for example than wait 10 seconds and activate it again
So you Can create presure every few seconds somewhere at the Map
2 like orbs or whatever of them should be fine
As well you need one more Smoking ability which is more flexible
I will publish an Agent Concept soon
