Re: Valkyrie is broken and you know it

There are a lot of ways to balance her but it would make her less fun. Because basically no lie:

Her passive is fly letting you get above heads to shoot down easy

she has area effect stun missiles

she has redeploy AND reveal meta whenever she drops 

That’s really too much for one character. Think about that and compare to Path (who i dislike but this is about balance)

I would take away both reveal and stun completely.  And yeah, that’s right it’s less fun. But fair.

    @KelRiever If you remove the stun from the tactical the tactical becomes completely useless. Before I played valk I mained caustic. A character with zero movement ability (unless you are taxi using the ult spam cheat). I never ever died due to valks tactical. Why? Because if behind cover and one used it on me I didn't panic and run from cover. I used a shield cell. As valk the only people I kill using it are the ones that panic.

    The scan thing is nice but I don't see it as OP. You are alerted if a valk is flying and if that valk drops on you they are stunned so you should kill them.

    @hayhorOK, but, it does not really account for Valk specifically if you play like (for the lack of a better word, sorry) a coward while using Caustic. No other legends let's you hide like he does, so unless you play like that, what else is there? Unless you play Watson or some weirdo no one uses really.

    @Sand_spitter I didn't play like a coward as Caustic. I liked to push teams with him. If it was a multi way fight then I'd bunker up. If you have played caustic you know you are twice the size of everyone but gibby so running around in between multiple teams doesn't make sense.

    @Sand_spitter I always thought Valk was strong because of her Ultimate. Being able to easily avoid the ring/gatekeeping teams and safely land is fairly strong in a BR. In an actual fight she's good around buildings and meh anywhere else. I see her as the opposite of my old flame Gibraltar. So-so in a fight but great at escaping which is so valuable in a game where being the last survivor = winning.
