Nerf Valkyrie just to give the movement to Vantage

Makes no sense how Valkyrie gets half of a nerf just for those same movement abilities and/or capabilities to go onto another legend. Kinda like when they took away lifelines shield and gave it to Newcastle, it’s a extremely corny thing to have in a game where only 1 legend can consistently move from one spot to the other in a matter of seconds while not many other legends have such free range of motion. Some are horizontal only, some are vertical only, others can do what they please, some legends have to wait a while just to get their ultimate to be able to have kind of movement to be useful in a fight There needs to be a balance of movement between all the legends cause this is ridiculous.

  • @YaBoyRicky666 Vantages tactical is a more contained version of valks over powered passive. They are even in a playing field, becase vantage is faster, but valk has more options. The fact that a passive and a tactical are on the same level is insane tho. As for the lifeline sheild, they removed it becase it was too op, as they figured out it could be its own ability. If anything they should do the same with valk, and remove her flying passive, to make gameplay more fair, like they did with lifeline. If a passive is too op, it’s a great idea for a tactical. That is why it should be fully removed from valk. Lifeline = perfect example of that.

    I agree, no passive should make the difference in a fire fight. 

    I also feel no Ultimate should be an actual weapon. Seems ridiculous. 

    Look at armed and dangerous....this is a game mode where only shot guns and snipers are available to be used. Never saw so many ramparts in that last game mode mowing down players only able to use a shotty and sniper, with a mini gun. 

    Another direction Respawn should have never gone. Stop making Ultimate's be actual weapons. 

    And for crying out loud - give Pathfinder a passive already!

    i agree with you for the most part. ultimates shouldnt summon a third extremely powerful weapon to win the fight for  you. tacticals and passives shouldnt be on the same level, but i disagree that passives shouldnt make a difference in a fight.

    @BigMacAttack8u Valk's core playstyle is in her passive. If you removed her flight, she'd be pointless. You have to consider how terrible her hitbox is, how slow she moves in the air. Her wings telegraph cover peeks to opponents, and paint a giant "X" on her head.

    Valk is a terrible combat Legend. Taking away her flight would destroy her completely. I do like Vantage's movement, though, but her tactical is more similar to Loba's bracelet or Octane's pad.
  • @YaBoyRicky666 Yeah, it very much seems they stole some thunder from Valk to give Vantage more hype. Unlike Loba, Vantage gets full mobility while activating her Tactical. She has a leg-up on Valk too: after a "batjump", Horizon recovers her gun sooner, and can jump into faster slides, hops, and strafes. If you time it right, she's almost as nimble as Pathfinder.
