Um I assume this really doesn't include gekko this sounds horrible for him and more annoying than anything else for the rest except breach who's been getting hit way too hard lately for how shit he's always been to play in soloq

honestly, im predicting that when you dont recover dizzy or wingman in time, you will probably recover them but wait 60s for it so its not like ur just throwing out utils and have nothing for a rehit / fake.

Personally I think its a terrible change, it will be better for the pro scene for sure but for ranked why would people ever play sova or fade again (best initiator on a lot of maps).

I mean 60s will be quite alright no? Like it won't make her too busted and having a flash recharge after 60s is reasonable enough to atleast get her into meta . I don't know about tejo tho, that's again.shite

I always knew Skye would get that back. You can't just nerf her and have other initiators being more useful.

this doesnt apply to sage neither deadlock since their utility isnt breakable
i think this will apply to veto considering its breakable but who knows

its atleast better cuz its not a fade / sova repeat (except we'll see the two on corrode or ascent)

it says "FROM 40" to 60 though, so this sentence cannot apply to skye, tejo, and gekko no?

I'm honestly ok with this change, with the sole exception of Breach. Breach is fine at 40 seconds per stun, but the rest of the Initiators get their info abilities back after 40 seconds, which can be toned down honestly. 60 isn't too harsh, you can still do 2-3 fights per round. I'd like to see riot experiment more with the non-recon agents (+ skye), and explore 45 or 50 second timings as buffs to even out initiator viability.

Skye with a 60 sec cycle is stong again, and the recon agents will always have a place in the meta. Plus these 3 + Gekko are probably the most accessable ranked agents, so having them be 60 seconds while the more "niche" Initiator's get buffed timings will make learning the other Initiator's feel more rewarding.

maybe all 3 of them
gekko could recover dizzy and wingman without picking them up but wait for 60s
skye and tejo is a big maybe
