Just a curiosity of mine
Does waylay need changes?

The controller class needs help
Omen literally has been taking a 60 to 80% pickrate for 3-4 years now, over every other controller in existence
Honestly omen needs a rework of the shrouded step or paranoia
Litreally Whats wrong with nerfing the speed of paranoia
I mean it wouldnt kill the character but its pickrate would decrease
Honestly not even speed or whatever
Either shrouded step or paranoia needs a rework cuz they're too good otherwise and together broken
it can be used like a buff. Take the Haven A retake paranoia, you can smoke (cypher cage, jett smoke, etc.) the hell player off and paranoia the graffiti guy, kill him, and then let the paranoia travel to hell, and you essentially get two paranoias for one. In some cases it's an upgrade, in some cases it's a downgrade, but a sidegrade is not what Omen needs.
personally, I would make paranoia 350c and nerf the range by 2.5 meters. Small nerfs that make the paranoia harder to use. Then I would buff some of the controllers back up and make people choose between:
-worse paranoia
-still great utility
OR
-option to play good solo smokes
-no paranoia but still useable util across the board
I think reverting 11.08's stun changes and letting an Astra stun last 3.5 seconds would be ideal. Buffing the recall from 25 second recharge to 20, making the suck activate at 1 second instead of 1.25, and making the stun and suck 50s cooldown to match the initiators would make Omen vs. Astra a lot more interesting when you could actually use two sucks in a round fairly consistently.
Of course this is just fanfiction, riot would never rebalance omen vs. astra like this
make the blind like breach stun
- you need to charge it for 1s for full length
- you are slowed when charging it
or fucking buff the breach stun like omen blind so he's viable too
They need to buff her gun pullout time on her dash bc they removed her ability to be a drone entry so it logically makes sense to make her a more self sufficient solo entry
I think the current mechanic is the Fast Equip(context is the pre chamber buff, idr the patch number). So just change it to instant and thats it really
only buff i give would be her refract longer if i had to, shes alr as a duelist
yes
make the dash a refreshable
the fact that you lose your entire kit the first time you do anything makes her so limiting
And move refract off, but give it 2 charges, sounds good tbh.
Whatever HP she had when she activated Refract is the HP she'll return to when she snaps back
-this one's from s0m
You might as well call it a phoenix ult all you're missing is that on death she returns to life at the anchor
Make it so you can refract at pre barrier (similar to Yoru tp)
Gives her opportunity to be more aggressive early round for defense
While it sounds good
Practically it isnt the same
Reason: Yoru's TP can be THROWN, it actually has direction
Why would I ever waylay refract in pre round, wouldn't make sense at all especially cuz its literally instant, you dont even have to unequip your gun
Because if you wanna go aggro early round with waylay you risk putting your refract in a spot that is very easy to punish
Something as trivial as peeking down a short at barrier can’t happen because ur gonna get run down if you tp out by like a neon or smth
You could put ur tp backside somewhere and still fight barrier without wasting ur timing
