They won't do anything about it. They purposefully create unbalanced legends, so the TTV can exploit them and "s**t" on other players.

I agree with @E9ine_AC , i'm really not seeing the issue here. A Valk using her jet is so easy to shoot (unless a pro main is using her), her tactical is easy to avoid in almost all situations. The strong thing is her ult, it can reposition your team easily, but it's not like a game winning ability. You can't use it in the middle of a fight (it'd mean instant death) and it's pretty much useless in last 2 rounds. So it's a key factor especially when you're out of position but it's situational. So personally i think she's balanced, STRONG, but not op.

@hayhor My question is.... When did she become broken or to strong? As someone who played her for about half a month non stop i can say... I was easily being countered and shot. Even in my ult i was still being shot and at times killed mid air. Her rockets can a lot of times get you killed or be over thrown quite easily. I feel she is in a good place at the moment.

Here's a better idea, instead of nerfing Valk, buff everyone else to keep up?Though the current pick rates don't indicate her being super broken...https://apexlegendsstatus.com/game-stats/legends-pick-ratesShe's top 4, but then everyone else drops off sharply. That both indicative of the sheer number of legends, and the fact that in a game about mobility and shooting, no surprise the top 6 have buffs to their mobility. The only one that doesn't is Bloodhound (except in Ult) but his kit makes him too good in the wallhack meta.Also, Valk's "flight" is slow unless bursting, which limits range. Any valk on a long flight is a really big clay target waiting to be shot down.I say "flight" in quotes because the ceiling is really low. It's more jump jet assisted controlled leaping/falling.

Valkyrie is broken and you know it

@KelRiever Most people I know defend her and say she is balanced. You know, despite clearly being an S Tier legend.

@KelRiever Broken because money via skins and stuff. Looking back on Wraith and the over the top nerfs and the constant crying over how much better she is than everyone else it just seems crazy that they left Valk the way she is. Same was done with Gibby after his buff. Aside from you, and a couple of posters here, no one seems to mind now about that stuff anymore. All the hypocrites seem to be playing Valk now so...yeah. Thats how people's minds work I guess.

I stopped playing her mostly because she’s grabbed first nearly every time. She’s definitely a fun kit, but let’s not kid ourselves, she’s everything OP in the game.

@E9ine_AC In certain situations I can see here being considered OP. My kd with her is about 25% higher than any other legend. It is because I die less. Why? Because the jetpack and ultimate allow me to escape to height or fly across the map. I think that is most people's frustrations but again, no one said so who knows.

@hayhor I mean my kd is much higher when i only play wraith or octane as well. Both offer the same advantage imo. Not quite the same but similar. Its all about the user behind the legend i suppose. Even with her get out of jail free cards she is more annoying like a pathfinder who just grapples above or away. But there are multiple legends with similar abilities which is why i felt she is on par.
