Re: Why do you think Valkyrie is a good addition to the game?

@jaygates879Ok, so, fun; that's cool. That's pretty much how I see it.

I would like to know how the rest of the community sees her.

Personally I won't play her, nor play in a party that has her.

I'm struggling to understand certain things.

I will post my detailed opinion of her at the end in a non-rant if possible, if it's still relevant by then. But the main interest is how YOU see her.

    Are you saying you leave games when someone wants to play Valk?

    @Sand_spitter

    I really don’t find her to be that OP.
    Her jetpack is no different than horizon’s spacewalk, or Path’s grapple, as in being able to reposition to high ground fairly easily, as a matter a fact, she’s way more vulnerable when using her passive than Path, or Horizon, it’s like having a huge bullseye on your back when using it.
    Missiles, very situational, and very easy to avoid getting hit by them.

    Her strong suit is definitely her ult, but again, kinda situational, not sure if you tried flying in to reposition come end game, but you’re basically sitting ducks in the air, everyone focuses you, you’re kinda screwed.

    Pick rate is high, average player utilizing her is gold 3 (second highest), in first position is Horizon with gold 2 players.

    P.S. I've got 150 shards sitting with her name on them! lolol

    @Gabrielmojo26Yeah I def think she doesn't appeal to everyone. I know some people simply dislike her because of her voice lines.

    For me she just has too much going on. Jetpack with unlimited fuel / no real cool down. Can constantly get to high ground quickly. Can ult the whole team away. Reveal enemy locations while doing so. Can scan for next ring. Has missiles with a pretty large radius for what it is, and it slows / disorients really well. I mean sure, everything can be situational, I get that too. You're not just gonna pick her and win, just like you're not just gonna pick up a r99 and win the match, but it would be hard to argue a p2020 is better than an r99 too. To me she's one of those characters that can make you heavily reliant on her kit, and that alone tells me something, it's certainly not nothing. But yeah, to each their own I guess.

    ps - facepalm..no bro, just no LOLOL
