I'll judge it when it's released and I'm sure they'll make adjustments if they need to.

Yep, and once she's live there'll be many millions of hours of game data they can use to add context to any balancing decisions.Exactly, its hard to monitor or say wether a character is 'OP' with a small team of people testing. Yes, you can give the character to streamers early but these players are elite, so it doesn't really matter what legend you throw at them, they won't find them ever as OP as the average player.
The best way to deal with Valk is release her strong.
The reason for this is because she is entering the game with a completely new ability stack that we haven't seen before and the main feature here is the flight. If you make it too bad, then no one will use her a bit like what happened to Rampart.
If you bring her in powerful, then at least there will be people moaning about her, which means you will get an understanding of why she is too overpowered it might be something like "Her ability to hover in the air gives her too much mobility it needs to be toned down a notch". This will give the dev's a better idea.
- hayhor4 years agoHero@rockyboy1998 I'd be with you except if a character is miles too strong it takes way too long to balance them. Plus they said they have been testing her for 3 months. That's a ton of time.
The real reason characters come out powerful tho is selling skins. Get people thinking they have a new main and wham they need packs or coins to get more skins. It is a smart plan.- 4 years ago@hayhor I think its easier to have a strong character and nerf them than have a weak character and buff them, I hate the cycle but its very hard to bring out a character that is balanced.
Horizon came in with a different dynamic to any other character, I think she was a little overpowered but she wasn't too hard to kill, she just had the ability to blitz a team and her tactical was too quiet.
