With the rise of the ARC series on the horizon, it seems like they'd migrate for the sake for allowing ARC GPU's to properly work with this game, hence why it's most likely a priority.
I myself have not been encountering these types of network issues.
Most of the time when I see others encounter them it's usually an issue with their setup or their ISP, which quite frankly has nothing to do with their servers at all.
I do agree their netcode can use quite some tweaks, it has plenty of flaws, though these issues aren't 100% guaranteed.
I don't see a problem with Seer's design either, as wallhacks aren't too powerful if we are denoting that this game isn't made for hide and seek.
As for Catalyst, what exactly has she to do with Valorant?
I'm assuming that comment about the map was sarcastic, what exactly seems to be the issue there?
I assumed it was sarcastic due to the excessive amount of dots, so sorry if I was mistaken.
I don't think you have to go at me like that when I'm simply trying to have a discussion here, I don't think it's necessary to reply like that if you're going to be unconstructive like that.
Now I'm not going into this too much so others can still discuss this, as I'm not wanting to derail this thread, though I find it a bad move.
Seer shouldn't be allowed to track players through walls if they're sneaking, or at least have a longer delay between heartbeats.
While with Catalyst, her abilities may be similar, they function differently in how they're deployed and in the situations it can be deployed in. That's like saying Octane is copying Sonic because he can run fast, yet one can constantly run fast with no penalties, and the other loses health each use and has to wait 2 seconds after each run.
Catalyst has zero control over how her wall is formed, other than a single direction for it to be deployed in, while in Valorant, the wall ability can be guided to curve around corners.
Gibraltar could very easily be more arguable as being a copy to another game, since dropping down a shield in which nothing gets in or out (besides Maggie's tactical) isn't a new feature. I'm pretty sure League of Legends already have that ability.
I'm not a balance dev, so my opinions will of course not always reflect the best course of action nor the opinion of others.
If you don't agree with me, that's fine, though just saying that you don't agree isn't really going to prove helpful to the team IMO.
Providing arguments to why it would be too OP is much more helpful, which could have a positive impact on the game.
Personally I think it's fine, hiding isn't really the intention of this game so it can assist when players are trying to bail out of a fight.
I think it's more used for locating teams, which could make potential third parties easier.
Though of course this makes it quite hard to escape a team, as they'll pretty much always know your exact position.
Some tweaks might be possible, so if we do small tweaks and test that then we can get proper data and see the right course of action from there.
Also I don't think you have to mention whether or not I've won or lost my credibility to you.
Making these kinds of comments has no other use than trying to stir the pot, which is something we shouldn't do on these forums.
Again, I'm not going into this too much to prevent the topic from derailing.
