Valkyrie is Overpowered
Valkyrie is way too powerful for a legend. First of all, her tactical. While her tactical doesn't do that much damage, and isn't too difficult to dodge, it applies not only a visual effect but an act...

Hey @Rubber_Ducky122
While I agree Valkyrie is powerful, she's not overpowered.
While flying, she cannot use her weapons and is easy enough to shoot down. It's not good mid fight for these reasons, and although she can get into good positions with her VTOL Jets, so can a Pathfinder or Horizon.
Her Tactical is slightly too powerful, I agree, maybe they should remove the fact you move the camera a lot slower when stunned, but other than that it's not too bad. It's difficult to set up in time and if you take too long you can easily get punished so it's not overly oppressive in my opinion.
And her Skyward Dive ultimate is definitely really powerful. But she needs to relatively exposed to use it, and it can be shut down easily.
Valkyrie is really powerful, but she's not overpowered in any way.
@CompleatBeet Is that not overpowered? Each of her abilities are really powerful, and despite her passive and tactical being relatively easy to counter, her tactical in particular is just too powerful. And as for her ultimate, sure, if you get shot while using it it gets cancelled, but the slowing animation only takes a couple seconds, and all you need to avoid getting shot is have a medium-sized rock in your way and you'll make it. And despite it being easy to cancel, if it does end up working, it can be game-changing more than any other legend's ability. Maybe "overpowered" is a bit too strong a word, but I think that either way, her ultimate at the very least should get nerfed.
she isn't really "overpowered", more like " overloaded" with functionalites. I believe this is because Respawn afraid of backlash if people think a new "Asian Women" isn't extremely powerful and would accuse them of racism - meanwhile my boi Fuse is still sitting at the lowest winrate bucket and begging for more buff. She can does literally everything with no significant downsides, from ring hacking, recon, third-party, 1v1 to disengage and get out of jail for her whole team, she can do it all. Her ultimate already proven to be game-breaking at the highest level of playing field.
Honestly, I don't know how to balance her beside a rework. Her ultimate redefine completely the point of re-positioning and risk-taking while her tactical is way too good. But at least removing the stun effect from her missile would be a good start
