Beayuh's Thoughts on 11.08

Duelists:

I really don't mind the changes, minus a couple hitches. I feel like the Iso ult and Waylay ult will remain relatively the same, players will get used to it on day 1. Entry duelists, specifically Yoru got destroyed. Neon is basically the same but Yoru players should be grabbing their pitchforks. I just don't understand not having util in ult.

Sentinels:

This is a good change. There are too many scenarios where nothing is happening while being stuck behind a sage or deadlock wall. However, the Vyse flash changes severely nerf her. I think her flash giving info is one of the best parts of her kit.

Initiators:

This is the bad change. I understand LF's decision to make things less chaotic, but the util going to 60 seconds is absurd. 50 seconds for a worldwide cooldown would be much better. Make all sig util refreshable under a 50 second cooldown. Fade changes and Breach changes aren't too bad I just don't see the point as I still feel like Skye won't be meta and that the same meta initiators will still be dominant.

Smokes:

wtf did astra do to deserve this

Vyse and breach got murdered for no reason and I assume astra was preemptive
I think this patch is forcing an overly aggressive meta for some reason

As if Valorant wasn't aggressive enough

Look it probably gets them more viewers than if the gameplay is methodical and slow
Obviously aggressive play can be tactical too but it's usually little things that the avg viewers won't notice
Also it probably appeals to casual players they're trying to revive their playerbase to an extent but that's my guess
