Why are people suprised? What did you expect?

Hello all!

Today I wanted to ask the community, why are you all so surprised about the length Riot went to nerf Neon? I have seen many people, including some very humorous tweets, complaining that the riot went too far, but this confuses me greatly. As someone who has played Valorant for some time, I am very familiar with Riot's way of nerfing agents: they kill them. Every time without fail. Chamber, Skye, Yoru, Tejo, etc. All these agents were completely gutted and majorly stopped getting play until much later when they got buffed again. Now, whether or not I agree with this practice (I don't, but this does not matter for the sake of the argument), that does not change the fact that anyone with critical thinking skills and basic pattern recognition could see what would happen to Neon. Instead of recognizing that Neon is really only this strong because of an extremely weak sentinel and initiator class, has a high pick rate due to other duelists being nerfed (as well as the aforementioned weak sentinel and initiator class), and her main strength comes from the overpowered shotguns, not necessarily from the utility, you all have decided to whine and complain until you got your way.

So, again, I ask, why are you surprised? Why? What did you expect? Are you so idiotic that you believed Riot would simply change the way they do things? Or are you so hypocritical that you cannot even stand upon your own ideals?

except me

except rduino

she didn't get nerf she just got fat like Americans

except the agent isnt dead and will still see play, the agent would have been still incredible against stronger sentis it just would have made her site execs weaker (which is literally 1/3 of the reasons shes so strong rn, shes macro warping for attack side because of her ability to reclear space without investing utility, in the same way yoru tps were macro warping for defense side with the ability to basically play 3 on each site) the jump nerf was objectively needed and she will almost certainly still see play just not be a meta pick on 7/7 maps in the pool

neon isn't dead tho
it just means there's more diversity in the dive duelist role rather than quite literally almost every game having a neon

I dont get why they didnt just take the jump away, just make it so u cant when u run
