Neon is a sleeper A tier agent..hear me out

Relay Bolt/Stun - The retake potential for the stuns is really high. On Breeze specifically there are so many lineups for back B site, in several pockets of A, and really just anywhere else you may need a stun. On Ascent there is market/stairs stun. There is a ton of early pressure stuns on Fracture.

Fast Lane/Wall - Creates space not only for Neon, but also any other agent who might run in with her. This allows for that Flex player who plays Skye or Kay/O to aggressively take site with your duelists. Where Jetts smoke and dash breaks crosshair placements and creates pressure, Neon can do this as well, but over a greater area and with her teammates. The wall also naturally combos with Kay/O, Skye, Reyna, and Sova. The same reason that these agents combo well with Viper, they can combo well with Neon. It allows for agent to create the angles and peeks they want. Plus a well placed dart can allow for teams to split up defenders and take them out.

High Gear/Sprint - Creates really weird and awkward timings for both attackers and defenders. On maps like Haven, Breeze, and Fracture, I can see her sprint being used on defense to help other agents lock down a site. Same with on attack, she can help sell a fake on one site and quickly move to the other.

Overdrive/Ult - Now this is her biggest weakness. It is not the same as Jett knives or Chamber Op because it is easily traded. There isn't a "one hit kill" like with those ults, but I think this can be worked around with again her stun and other agents abilities.

Chamber being in the meta...this allows for other duelists to shine because the operator role can now be given to a different agent. Jett isn't the sole op'er anymore.

Would love to hear other people's thoughts, criticisms, and ideas. I am just really excited about this new Act having a lot of potential to shake up old metas and give relevance to new and old agents.

her entry potential doesn't really compare to jett or raze and she doesn't have the ability to play off-angles like reyna.

not a bad agent, but the stuns and walls are usually already taken care of by the initiator and controller on many maps.

I think there's potential to work her into a comp, but I can't really see how she would substitute jett.

Split specifically may be a good map for her, since jett isn't super good on that map and her wall, stuns get a lot of impact due to the tight chokes and close angles.

Agree to disagree, but I appreciate you brotha. At least for not trolling or being weird :) I think her ability to create space for herself and others lends itself to some pretty powerful combos with other agents, but yeah Jett is still absolutely a nuts agent

she doesnt need to be a raze or jett. she can be played as a second entry and thats fine considering her design

Her ability to fast rotate is pretty nice.

That’s why we see her used on haven and fracture

I think the speed and wall abilities have potential on breeze and haven, but nowhere else. The stun can be used to clear out tight angles and main areas on fracture.

Neon is the easiest Agent to counter, her slide is weak AF.

You Just have to pull a Drake on her

Yeah I don't think her slide is crazy good or anything, but I think the rest of her kit is pretty darn good. I don't think you are supposed to use her slide like a Jett dash though.

not bad but hard to fit her into team compositions, since i wouldnt say she is better than jett, but she also doesnt have flashes so you risk yourself running no flash comps if you want to play double duelist. maybe with omen changes we can see jett neon omen being played

Yeah I view her being set up similarly to Jett or working with a Kay/O or Skye. Although her play would obviously be a little different than Jett with her lack of dash.

The situation I see is like on Breeze or something with:
Neon
Sova
Kay/O
Chamber
Viper

Fitting into a comp like that :) I appreciate your reply though! I like being able to talk out this stuff with others instead of with myself lol. New and different perspectives are always best for these things.

this comp looks quite good in the current meta, but with the adjustments to the controllers in the next patch it might not work out.

yeah its hard to tell how the controllers will shape up with the current patch, so viper could be replaced with another controller. I am not sure though

np man, i still think if you run single duelist comp jett is better though - i think thats more of a personal opinion though

she's really good but tricky to make work for sure, i think on haven and fracture at least we'll see her pickrate continue to grow into the future, but on maps with a very defined meta like bind it's gonna be a real challenge to find a space for her in your comp

she's good on paper but she's very hard to shine in real games
