Buffing gekko | VLR.gg

#1

Read the new patch notes
If we want to make gekko viable
Bring cooldowns on picking up to just 10s like on release
Decrease the pickup time(the time to actually pick it up) to 0.7s from 1.5s (far as i remember i mayb wrong) (for people asking how long it is, its the vandal pullout time)
Let dizzy blind almost instantly(like missile travel time is 0.2s) but the target acquisition time is increased from 0.35s to 0.55s
Dizzy can flash opponents from 60m rather than 45m
Mosh gets a unique 20s cooldown instead of 10s globule
The globules last for 30s (same length as a yoru tp) in world
Wingman goes for 8s instead of 5s in duration

Tell me what we think

I think decrease ult orbs needed is good enough. anything else will just make gekko too strong like a better pheonix.

Is that bad?
Because Phoenix is different with the self heal that Gekko doesnt offer

but gekko offers more than pheonix from his wingman to a better throwable molly. you can also pick them up now which is huge in this declining utility economy

I mean they're different roles. And different tools
By this logic yoru took over phoenix because of superior flashes and brawling ability

yoru is better than pheonix in every scenario except close corners where pheonix flashes are just better. I just don’t think we should give an agent with an undodgable flash that many buffs aka gekko

(Sorry for the bump)
I mean its pretty much reyna, and the effective counter is the increased detection time meaning you have more time to shoot it before it locks onto you, but on it locking on you are guarenteed flashed for sure is my idea. Makes it more reliable as a flash instead of "i bait and jump out of the way"

increasing detection time makes the one thing gekko is good for useless. it can stay the way it is, i just don’t think wingman and the molly should get any buffs

Wow the Gekko buff is actually useless because 9 times out of 10 you throw mollies to areas where the enemies are advancing. youre not gonna get a chance to pick it up.

coughing babies above me

slash the activation time of the flash and maybe people will start using it in ranked

it's too gimmicky at its core to ever be meta in vct

Gekko seems like a great chamber counter now, can use regen molly to clear angles + flash is regen and angle clearing too

gekko was reallyt good on release because the flash had inf range and didnt have that beep noise when the flash saw you, so sometimes you would just randomly get flashed
