Please nerf valk

I can't even select her anymore now that everyone is using her. I'd like a nerf just to scare people away. I spent the night going bowling with Maggie which actually was pretty fun.

100% agreed she needs serious nerfing, though I wonder: will her algs pick rate influence her overall pickrate? If "the kids" see that she's a feature of every single pro team does that influence them to go on a Valk spree? Not really sure how that works, but if there's no correlation, and her pickrate stays "normal" then is there any incentive for them to cool her off a little? Or a lot, I hope?

@reconzero Right now it's a perfect storm. She just had her heirloom and she is in every algs team. The heirloom spike typically wears off when the character is bad but my fear is people are finding out she is crazy good and it won't wear off. Every solo q team I'm in has a valk with an heirloom. They made so much money off this last event.

@hayhor The fact that she's in every algs team is a good thing actually imo, because she allows more variety for the other two picks, as she's a movement and utility legend at the same time.
