Valk / Flight
Ok so we had a new character come out some time ago with capabilities that no one asked for Who new that the character would be game-breaking? Yes game breaking, I said it. Shoot at you? fly away. ...

@Sand_spitter Through out my climb this ranked season there's one thing and one thing that was always on my mind "This game wouldn't be too hard if we had a Valk on our team". So many times me and my team cornered a Valk team just for them to fly away. So many times where I position my team(I've been playing a lot of Pathfinder) so that we won't get sandwiched by 2 teams just to get sandwiched anyway by a Valk team that flew behind us. She's so strong that if you do not have her it's like you're playing the game with a handicap and the worst part is that I can't see any possible way for them to balance Valk without absolutely gutting her or just reworking/changing her kit.
- @Daze623 Precicely, 100%. You actually feel the difference in not having her.
@Daze623Actually, I think you nailed it. I don’t think Apex can afford to have a character that if you DON’T pick them, you feel like you’re at a real disadvantage.
While I won’t call her outright OP, I will say this:
In her current state, she significantly impacts one of the core principles of BR— positioning. Positioning is a skill that people work hard at developing. In a scenario where everyone is the same mechanical aiming skill, it’s the team that invested in their position that will often see success. But the ease (and frequency) with which Valk repositions her entire team is a bit problematic.
To be fair, I don’t want to see her gutted. I just think she needs a long charge up for the ultimate. And I’d like a small tweak to the missiles. Either they should do damage and no stun, or stun with no damage.- @Axs5626Sxa5001 Exactly, positioning is just too easy now.
