@hayhorJust wait until ALGS, not exaggerating but I expect to see Valk in 100% of squads.
@DankToliet Actually the only legend that's in every ALGS team is Gibby (and maybe not even him). Am i the only one that finds it so easy to shoot a Valk using her passive? Lol
@Cro_PitttWeird because I just looked up the ALGS 21-22 Split 2 pick rates and Gib had a 98.8% and Valk had 97.61% pick rate. Soooo yeah, you were wrong there.
Split 1 Gibby had 100% and Valk 87.1% Seeing that split 2 happened after split 1, you can see that Valk inclusion into almost every team dramatically increased.

Nope. Even though I enjoy her a lot, flying without feathering the boosters is a death sentence. My overall KDR has gone up since she released just because every time someone tries flying off with her without cover like they are running Octane speed, I just turn it into a clay pigeon shoot. Peacekeeper or Hemlock will make short work of her even with my bad aim.I can only assume better players find it easier which is why all my flight is short controlled bursts over and into cover.
Got a lot of kills on final Valks in squads thinking they are gonna grab team banners and run (or just run).
She still needs to be stripped of all Scout traits and made an Attacker, like she should have been in the first place. Just too much in the package.

But yet, Cro can math, as 98.8% is still larger than 97.61%...
@KyldenarLOL thats like half a Gib compared to Valks OVERALL in picks in the ALGS. You can't look at those stats and completely ignore that Valk is picked just as much because you're in love with her.
My next unlock will be Valkyrie for sure. They might nerf her scan or something but all game companies will allow over powered (OP) items and characters go for a long time prior to making any nerfs. They know leaving the OP objects in game makes players want them. Once they study the trends of the metrics, the object will get the nerf bat. The people who have the OP item will rage and hulk out, unless there is new OP item to replace it. I didn't arrive for the Seer issues I have been told about, but according to my sources he got the nerf bat the last time.
@DankTolietYeah, I enjoy her. Not gonna lie. And every post you make about her is from a place of pure hatred, not logic.
The fact that I like her doesn't stop me from saying her kit is overloaded with being an Attacker they also crammed Scout into when it makes no logical sense even in the Lore. She's a hot headed hot shot, like her image of her dad. There is no patience and planning there.
Simple fact is I am one of the Titanfall players who largely ignored this game cause it's a BR and not Titanfall 3. I played a bit to start in Horizon's Season. Maybe 12 hours total. Then a bit more when Fuse was released. Maybe 10 hours.
Valk, being the closest in freedom of movement to an actual Titanfall PILOT is what actually got me to play out an entire season and stick around. I am not the only one. But now that I am used to the game, I main Mirage and Rampart more, just cause I find them more fun in team play.
She's popular for ALGS because she can safely rotate the entire TEAM. I guarantee you if they remove all Scout attributes and she can't scan on drop to see safest place to land or to 3rd party engaged teams, her pick rate will get closer to the other Lords of Movement (Wraith, Octane, Horizon).
