We want to maintain Guided Salvo as an ability that is very powerful and reliable at clearing space
I wonder if teams will use save salvos for post-plant specifically now. If they run Tejo at all, that is. (Maybe on Sunset?)
We want to increase the amount of situations where you could get out of Breach's stun if you aren't completely in the center.We want to increase the amount of situations where you could get out of Breach's stun if you aren't completely in the center.
I guess this was because of the Faultline + Salvos combo, but surely this won't be too much an issue anymore since Tejo is mostly dead?
Riot balancing team is hard to understand, no reason to try.
tejo MAY be used on Icebox in double init otherwise he's just garbage, no recharge when the other changes already half the efficacy of each charge is crazy. Just give the recharge back and maybe add the extra cooldown that Viper abilities and in-range Breach aftershock have so he can't just back to back chain the singles
yeah tejo is dead. breach is fine tho idk if a stun nerf was needed but it still can clear angles + it clears for a longer time
The stun is ass though now on top of the stun not being great everyone can dodge it far more easily now
yeah but i guess the intention is to make people dodge and use it more as a coordinated space taker than a set play for kills
if that is the intention and they've not buffed something else to compensate they're actually stupid this agent has been statistically the worst performer of any agent in pro since launch and they've done nothing but nerf him since like 3.05
riot being stupid is something known tbf
but still, breach is statistically the worst yet he has consistently been used every year through almost every meta since launch. is not like stats really measure his impact
They're not willing to take input, either :(
Maybe once they rework stuns to make sense they'll rework harbor (I'm fairly confident end of 2025 start of 2026 before kickoff they rework harbor)
anyone having lag and packet loss issue after the update .. because me i got like 60- 90% packet lost and lost a dam ranked games because of it
