They add new agents but they forget to buff old ones

Imagine how messy this game will be when there are 30+ different characters and it takes 1 year to buff each of them - like with Yoru, "guys wait while we think about rework, just wait 1 month, no, 2, no, 5, no, 68"

Valorant new Overwatch

Yeah I see
Whole off-season month and they haven't done shit about Yoru, Phoenix or Brimstone

Lemme guess, delayed till 2023? Because you can't do agent reworks in the middle of competition!

pretty sure riot employees get a break during the winter, which is why there hasnt been an update, but we should see changes with episode 4 coming up

who gives a fuck if those agents are balanced? it’s inherently impossible for all agents to be equally as strong.

Episode 3 is coming out at the same time as neon. It is very likely the bigger balance changes are happening then.

Just like we had the economy overhaul for last episode

I dunno when u started playing Valorant but the hype around Yoru upon his trailer release was off the charts. People considered him the doom of Valorant as he will destroy Compe. Well asfrn he isn't even used in 80% of compe matches

As long as Yoru wasn't given to content creators to test before his release.... everyone considered him to be gamebreaker and in need of instant nerfs, after his showcase for some content creators... people realised that he isn't that op and decent and the dude completely died after 2 weeks upon official release

It blows me away that so many people can’t seem to realize this means Phoenix is getting buffed.

You have never even used her LOL and clearly Phoenix is going to get BUFFED.

Calm down. The sky isn’t falling. I’m sorry you’re afraid of change, but everything is going to be okay 👍

Does running fast really make you that confident?

Her ult looks mediocre. Her “tunnel” looks mediocre. Her molly looks kinda cool and she can slide. Like… am I missing the omfg moment?

yeah u are lmao,with the run and gun mechanics its gonna be cancer to play against a agent like this,its literally just phoenix but with more dueling potential and a 10x better a better wall

She had no flash and the speed boost isn’t a dash. She is worse at entering than even Phoenix.

I think you’re over estimating the speed of her “sprint”.

She might be good on maps and areas with small enclosed spaces where run and gun is still decent, but she is worse than Jett in almost every other scenario.

Also. PHOENIX will get buffed and possibly a rework.

you don't need a flash with duelists if you play with a decent team,also the tunnel is literally perfect for a site take and u can easily use the sprint there and get easy control,much more useful than a 1m radius flash,also almost all valo maps are pretty small and narrow expect breeze,also phoenix isnt getting reworked if it took riot almost a year to do something to kayo lmao

You guys don't even know the wall does any dmg... Phoenix wall does damage and heals him, maybe hers is only visual.

Seems unlikely, both Viper's and Phoenix's walls have some kind of punishment for crossing them. Neon's walls should have something like a damage/stun punishment (since she has a stun ability, maybe they're making her kit with the idea of stun or slowing other enemies). Wall abilities are kinda weak, they only limit vision, there's no other way of preventing players of pushing them. If they make it a visual ability only, it'll end up at Phoenix's wall level of utility in a few months.

But she has two, they only have one, she can make a fucking corridor for everyone to pass. Giving 2 walls and an effect would be too op, being just visual, while having two is what makes the most sense imo.
