Please nerf valk

Latest dev update on valk. 

It's probably just as well. She's in such a poor position right now against Pathfinder-- scanning for ring should charge her ult fully.

@Cheese9ManWouldn't help anyway. Her passive is the big problem.

100% agreed, yes her ult needs a nerf and I'd say increased cooldown. Her Passive DEFINITELY needs a nerf, she's more versatile than Octane, Path, and Horizon put together. They either need to remove her Rockets and make her Passive her Tactical, or seriously delay how fast those jets refuel.

since they don’t want to nerf Valk’s scan, and they want everyone to know where everyone is anyway, then reveal all legends in 250 m range for everyone.

It is dumb but far more balanced.

The answer is, "Holy Cheese Balls, her Heirloom sales are thru the ROOF and there is no way we can nerf her now and kill that cash cow!"

@Kyldenar Yes, but that is the way this game is heading, except now if you have no scan meta at all on your team, you are at a severe meta disadvantage.  So, again, Destiny is more fair in that regard (but a ton less fair in how each team is equipped).

So you know, I played D1 and D2 each hard core for like at least a year.  I forgot what their totally upgunned PvP was called but it was a mega disaster.  Either you didn't play it all the time and were food for everyone else, or you played it constantly and basically gave up playing not only other games, but anything else in D2 so you could play it.  It was one of the most stupid PvP modes I had ever been tempted into (some people wanted the gear drops, and that's why I tried it), but you know, don't put it past Respawn to think it was a good idea :P

With Seer on the rise (I spit on that character) it should surprise no one that...sorry, NO, adding a fun Mad Maggie, or an Ash, or a Castle is going to overcome your game like Valk, or Seer, or any character they keep adding with strong reveal meta.  Even Ash and Maggie, with their soft reveal abilities, can't compete against knowing where everyone is all the time.  There's not a lot of smart I see going on in balance land, and I'm not blaming them for trying, but I am blaming them for having a ridiculous and completely off mindset.

@KelRieverMaggie's tracking outline after you dmg a player is laughable. It lasts a whole 0.25 seconds before it wears off.

IMHO that sounds just about right for a scan ability given to an assault character.  Kel's viewpoint is that scans are just really bad for the game in general, and although I don't share his opinion to quite the same extent, it is a defensible opinion.  So, to him, any scans added to the game are de facto bad, regardless of how weak they might be.  Fair enough point, I say.

I'm almost afraid to say this, because I rather like Kel and I don't want to ruin his opinion of me, but I have recently taken up Seer as a main.  And in my opinion, this character is really pretty disgusting.  His passive makes up for so much of my particular deficiencies in this game that I have increased my game play level immensely.  I have mixed feelings about scan abilities in the gamer in general (I think they have their place but should be carefully balanced), but I can honestly say that I think Seer's are too powerful, especially with no cooldown on what is arguably the strongest one.  Same issue as with Valk, though at least her passive has a bit of a cooldown built in.

I believe that along with Valk, Seer will very likely be looking at some nerfs after seeing such immense success in ALGS.

@hayhor Man, you don't even have to do that (tactical cancel), all you do is press the button to ADS whether you've got a gun out or not.  The sliding is for when you use it on the go because the passive slows you down to walk speed.  Prior to his nerf, you could do it while sprinting!

@pandareno1999 …curse….YOU!!!

:D

its not really an issue for merger you take Seer. I have a problem with Respawn putting a character like that in the game.

There are so many ways to change Seer, stick to his concept and lore, and do away with the scan meta.  What does reveal have to do with ‘change’, his big thing? Or art? Obviously video games seldom do a good job balancing lore with abilities but seriously, they could have done more than phone in a reveal meta character.  We had Bloodhound, and Bloodhound makes a ton more sense.

@Lord_Scorpion34There are some changes detailed in my post about buffs and nerfs, just scroll to valk, and see the suggestions. If you would like to change/contest something on the main collection post, you can post a reply. Hopefully we can then have a conversation with the creator of the change, as it is community made, by the responses to the post.
