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.

I love how the Valk mains over on reddit, keep on volunteering to have their Ultimate cool down increased. When they know it's more than just her ult that's the problem. Her jetpack need a nerf too, they need some extra time before they start refilling.

What's sad is that the devs know she needs multiple nerfs, but will apply them one at a time in between seasons to try and minimize the fan boy outcrys.

I would say it's because they can't admit they made a mistake. Which is weird because they kind of did with Seer. Seer, who still should be removed from the game.

Seer is my favorite character to leave 'feedback' with.

@KelRiever People on Reddit are never wrong, always right, we all know that 😉

  All right, all right. I am gonna cause a ruckus here, I am certain, but I am gonna say it anyway:
  Valkyrie is not overpowered. People just don't like a Legend that enables third partying or punishes a split team.
  Placement is king among those in the top 10, and Valkyrie provides a kit that:
  enables a team to correct a placement mistake, and
  enables a team to scout and third party someone with a weak(er) position
  Her rocket pods are easy enough to evade when you're playing in proper cover, can be countered by things like Wattson's ult or Gibby's shield, and don't have the same stun duration as Bang's creep.
  If I were to prescribe a nerf for her that would make her Ultimate more situational, it'd be to slow down the ascent by ten or fifteen percent. That's all. There could be some more weight behind the decision. But for all the times that Valk had landed near me with her team, it's been because I am split up and easy to target.
  Increase map awareness, listen for the Ultimate (it's almost always within earshot if she can land near you), and understand that sometimes you're just gonna lose to it because her team can get the better position that you left to fight.

    @NullEffective9 wrong times 1000000000. I don't like a legend who's PASSIVE makes Pathfinders TACTICAL a joke. Remove her rockets and make her jetpack her Tact, then reduce its fuel tank.
    
    That would be balance.
