So the dev confirmed Valkarie is going to be overpowered on release...

Good luck having fun to all of the casual out there who can't even shoot a sweaty TTV, 25k kill Horizon high on mountain dew, injected g fuel and addicted to dorito while she is on her lift and deal ...

@KissYourHomieUwU I have learned not to make guesses about something be OP on release. Lots of things have seemed like they went to far whether it was a nerf or buff and it really did not.

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

@DarthValtrex so true, I once pissed about 30-30 and then @E9ine_AC woke me up.

Turns out the gun indeed a sh*t show lmao.

@bosourd Yeah there have been quite a few that I freaked out on when they were announced turned out they were not that bad. Plus if it's game breaking OP they'll adjust it fairly quickly. So I don't worry about it too much.

30-30 was really annoying the first few weeks, after that I realized the Wingman was waaay better and more versatile , ran around the map clapping 30-30 players. I'll still use the 30-30 here and there just to change things up, have some fun but that's about it.

30-30 is not terrible but it's not good. It's really only a mid range gun and there are better more versatile options for that IMO. Heck the G7 is better.

  @DarthValtrex The reason the OP is concerned is Daniel ZKlein posted that she may be leaning towards being strong. He said he literally doesnt know.
  
  And we know from horizon, wraith and path that the team can struggle with real balance. We all knew the issue with wraith was hitbox size but it took 2 years for them to realize it. Pathfinder they went overboard with the cooldown time and he still dosnt have a true passive that is his own. Horizon still is OP after 2 seasons due to lack of sound and how long the tactical lasts.
  
  So I can see why some would freak out when they see a legend with rockets flying all about in a video. Where is the counter for that?

    @hayhor True, but I still want to see the legend first. As David said, they do what they can with their small scale testing and play. But they won't know where the legend stands in game until millions of people are playing and they have a ton of data to base decisions off of.
    
    They might have ideas.. I think her being OP is really going to boil down to mobility and what all that jet pack can do. For me winning fights is all about mobility. Once I lose mobility, I lose the ability to control the fight and thus lose the fight unless I get really lucky. If the other team has the upper hand on mobility they win.
