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 alert that you've been scanned by Valk? I think they definitely should, except off drop ship because that would be insane.

    @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.

    @Xubunnytwo Seer was nerfed 2 weeks after release. Valks been out multiple seasons. Valk is a hard balance because she is unique.

    @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).

    @Kyldenar Her Jets or Scouting ability is going to get nerfed maybe a little of both. Promise you, heck I'd even wager on it.

    @Lord_Scorpion34 heartbeat doesn't give you the exact location nor highlight you. It's just a general area with the smallest FOV scan area.

    @Paneross It can give you an exact location. When it's all amber you know exactly where they are. It's enough to track them from a distance. This is why they nerfed it.
