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...

@hayhor You've said this quite a few times but I rarely see her so I can't really say but I'll take your word for it. I'll have to check her out again, last time I played her was when she was launched.

All these people that think they are gonna gut Valk are in for disappointment. She sells skins like crazy, and the Oceania folks love her (as well as weebs).

The most they will likely do is remove the scan on drop, beacon scanning, and make her an attacker like they should have.

I will point out, AGAIN, that she is one of the very few characters whose passive (and remember what passive means) that requires manual activation. That requires you to practice with it to get the benefits, instead of, you know, just AIMING like Gibby or getting shot at or aimed at like Bang or Wraith.

@KyldenarShe sells skins like crazy because she's the easiest/most overpowered Legend in the game. Double jumping for her manual passive doesn't take any practice. Getting high ground and angles that are straight impossible for most of the roster is pretty insane.

They're not going to gut her, but enjoy her brokenness while it lasts. She's going to be toned down I promise. To what degree, I'm not sure but to even the playingfield a little bit.
And that's why her heirloom is next, gotta capitalize on the Valk bandwagon first. They won't nerf her until after it's released or risk sales.

@DankToliet Thing is I don't even understand why people would play such a character. She requires the least amount of skill to be good with. Whenever I see those high kill players with all the badges play Valk I don't even take them seriously. Kyldenar is right though, she's a cash cow with all the cosmetics she sells and that's about it. In my mind it's why she exists. All people are doing is playing right into Respawn's hand and putting money in their pockets, again at the expense of fair gameplay...where will it end?

@Sand_spitter If Mag Maggie was just as broken you'd see her skins selling like hotcakes and would get pushed in front of the heirloom line.

Could be, but I think the Valk design is just so good for sales, what 7 year old kid doesn't like jet packs lol? Hence why I think she's intentionally made to be this way.
