Please put Valkyrie back in the Skirmisher Class category.
Her passive doesn't allow you to locate the enemy on demand in the middle of a fight, Valkyrie has always been a mobility class, she is a Skirmisher.
You can still replace her passive.
There's 4 Recons & 4 Controllers, that's fine, and it doesn't matter if the Skirmishers are in greater numbers, release more Assault classes instead for example...
Thank.

I too think it's fair to say that Valkyrie is a recon, but I disagree that you can't get away with Valkyrie in a situation like Mad Maggie's, where you can get away with it.
This is because Valkyrie's role and usage is fundamentally different from that of Mad McGee and other characters who can pull up the front line and retreat to their allies.
To begin with, Valkyrie is not a character that shoots at the very front like Mad McGee and others, but a legend that shines brightest when used in conjunction with allies to increase the line of fire not only horizontally but also vertically to destroy blind spots.
I think the fact that they get shot down and die over and over is due to the Valkyrie not being used very correctly.
Anyway, I think the current situation of Valkyrie being a recon character who can also move is appropriate.
She is reckon and skirmisher. I would probably not play her without the reckon class perks. They are juicy.
This is definitely an eye-of-the-beholder kind of thing. The reason I main her is because she's flexible enough to be whichever I need her to be at any given moment. It really is all in how you use her. Or, as pointed out, how you mis-use her. And as also pointed out, skirmisher perks are worthless and recon are... less worthless. So for that reason alone I'm good if she stays where she is.
Valkyrie is, (more or less), a well-rounded legend between assault, skirmisher, and recon, as her tactical makes her great for assault, her jets makes her great for moving around, and her ultimate, (and threat vision), is great for recon.
I suppose she could also be supportive, as her ultimate can save the team from a lot of situations, (such as getting past a team that's gatekeeping the zone), but she's not very good at holding any ground as a controller, (however her tactical can make enemies fall back and thus delay an attack for a few extra moments).
Personally, I think her place as a recon legend suits her the best, as it didn't make much sense to have her as a skirmisher, outside being able to fly around, (which considering that anyone can use EVAC towers), it was only her jets that set her apart from the others as a skirmisher.
In short, her kit, (in my opinion), is best suited for recon.
