Scan Alerts for every Legend except Valk?????????

So when you get scanned by Bloodhoud/Crypto/Seer/even Ash's deathbox scan you get an alert about it. Seer doesn't but you definitely know if he scans you. I've always wondered why you dont get any a...

But you don't need an Alert.

"Marks any enemies within 250 meters with a direct and uninterrupted line of sight to Valkyrie. The champion will be marked with "CH" and the kill leader will be marked with "KL"."

https://apexlegends.fandom.com/wiki/Valkyrie#Info

So, one can assume if they are OUTSIDE and a Valk is dropping from high, they are marked.

@Kyldenar then you could say the same thing about Crypto and Bloodhound. Fact is you can make plays knowing if you're scanned/not scanned. This notice should apply to Valk, just because you're outside doesn't mean she scanned you or not. Knowing she scanned your or not could mean you could sneak up and push or play more defensively.

    @Paneross Ok, so by that same train of logic, we should know when Bloodhound is tracking us by our tracks?

    Or when Crypto pings us with the drone outside of the drone's 30 meter tagging range?

    Or heck, let's just take that logic ALL the way and you get notified when ANYONE pings you, ever, at any range!

    As opposed, to you know, playing a Battle Royal like a Battle Royal and assuming you are being hunted all the time and that you should move in cover and concealment as much as you can...

      @Kyldenar I'm the same, anytime I hear or see a Valk using her Ult, I immediately duck under something or get inside a building. I dont need an alert for that.

      @Kyldenar Bloodhound tracking and Crpyto Ping is diffferent from Valk passive.
      Valk passive shows where exactly you are meanwhile BH and Crypto only notifies them that you're in that area so you can still get jumped by the people you're tracking/pinging.
      Pinging also doesn't show where the enemies are exactly so it doesn't have the same "logic" as a Valk Ult
      Abilities need to be balanced out so that the game will be more bearable and fun experience specially if it's a game winning ability.

        @Daze623 Valk is one of the most broken characters right now. Respawn really made a mistake with her. Those defending her, main her.

        Of all the ways you could "nerf" this would be one of tamest, and still not even technically a nerf at all.

      So by that same logic wall hacks are perfectly fine too since we don't need to know when our locations are revealed? Sounds good to me.

      This character is the most over turned mess that has ever been in this game. Even is you take everything away from her including her ult and just leave her jets and rockets in the game she will still be viable and on par with someone like Octane. If this is what people need to have half decent performance in the game then I just don't know why they even try...gaining all those upper hands and upping your stats with said character because you need to depend on her kit like that makes you a worse player in every way.

        @Sand_spitter I smell a nerf coming after ALGS for her. They're not gonna say anything this close to her heirloom coming out. They'll collect those funds first, then announce a nerf.
