agent balancing kinda sucks

we have literally come full circle back into a viper meta, except this time viper isnt the double Molly, retrievable orb viper, it's the gutted viper which caused people to play her less in 2024. instead of power creep, Val has the opposite, where agents are constantly getting nerfed. the same viper that was pretty bad in 2025 is a meta pick now.

fade too, her dogs got gutted and she was barely played, and now she's also a pretty meta pick

in 2022 and 2023 everyone swapped off sova because his drone got cooked, and now he's one of the most meta agents

what are your thoughts?

Circle

rather have this state of the game right now, where each team can play more in their comfort rather than just spamming astra breach yoru tejo and vyse

This is what it needs to be like in order to prevent power creep.

As the player base improves, agent utility feels increasingly oppressive. Imagine if release-state Jett, Raze, and Sage were in the game right now.

i mean honestly i think it keeps the game in a healthy state, so i agree with #4

i would rather util be underpowered than overpowered, because it puts more emphasis on gun fights

time is a flat circle
