@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.

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.

I have to agree with @Cro_pittt and @E9ine_AC, even though I play her now that even if it sounds super op with her kit, its not that good in reality. Tactical is only good for the stun above silver rank in lower rank it seems like everyone thinks its a gibby ult or something, and above plat its insanely hard hitting with it. The ultimate is good, esp in low level ranked, in high level ranked it might be a good escape when heat hits in but you get beamed, jumped and minced fast. The passive is super convenient and good for repositioning, this is the main reason I play her, because im lazy and I like her passive. If you look at the pickrates shes fairly high because she still got season 11 numbers, this season shes lowering and loosing popularity steadily, same you got a small boost in low levels since she was given for free to eveyone logging in.
Check her avg ranked rank, its not even gold level, so the opness dont really flaunts itself in the statistics that is available on 3rd party sites. For me a well played pathfinder or octain for instance is a 100 times harder to kill and chase then a valkyrie. I cant say my kd changed with valkyrie, I seem to get avg higher damage on gibby or wraith which been my earlier mains before season 12.

  @Zkepz I do agree with you. Octanes, paths and wraiths that are good are much harder to kill.
