Valkyrie Ult Bugs

Valkyrie's ultimate is consistently failing. First, I think the "get shot and it's cancelled" is ridiculous, if you're using her ult the windup animation is already a long enough space to punish. Stopping the ultimate after that is just crushing to team play. On top of that... The ult fires incorrectly more often than it does correctly, as I am constantly having teammates get stuck in the ground and/or ripped away from the tether to Valkyrie for no reason. I understand Valkyrie has to be facing a certain way to let her teammates hang onto her right and left if your team is near cover, but this ultimate has been screwing my team in ranked almost every game. It is impossible to use it to escape if it's so easily punished and so buggy to begin with. Valkyrie can be a fantastic aggressive support, but if her ultimate is more of a detriment to your team than a gain, she is useless in any kind of upper-level play. I get the ultimate being newer to gameplay, but I don't understand how bugs that come up this consistently with her ult made it through any kind of play testing...

  • @papahandsoap I agree her ult is just way too slow... even in the final rings if the ring is closing your dead by the time it launches due to the amount of damage from the ring

    I think it's too punishable in every way. Either it should be faster, or it should let you fly even if you get hit. Regardless it's bugged and doesn't work reliably 

  • @papahandsoap Another issue with Valkyrie’s ultimate is that it cancels when you recieve damage... (at least from melee because I watched sooxfar do it earlier then punch the valkyrie out of the game)
