@hayhor That doesn't mean she's not broke. That can mean those other characters are broke too.

In fact, I'd say the top 5 really show who Respawn is super favoring and how much they have taken a massive dump on Defensive characters. You have to have just been born to not know that mobility, height, and knowing where people are, are the most important things you can have for a BR/Shooter short of an aimbot. So when you go make characters that move faster and are harder to hit, get height, and know where you are, you're completely off your rocker for thinking you don't have to mega buff your characters.

ESPECIALLY if your character's ability helps a team.

It's disappointing, really, how Respawn does things. Like someone said, I'm all for buffing the bottom tier, but you have to improve half the characters in this game to even matter, or, you know, you can nerf a few.

Wraith is a perfect example not that Valkyrie isn't broke, but how broke a mobility character is. It took way, way too long to nerf her to the point that she is in range of the other characters and she is still a major pick because that is how much her phase matters.

Pathfinder sucks for number of abilities. It's just that zip line is so good in this game, even with a long cooldown, it's fantastic. It moves you the fastest in one moment in the game. Octane is just a pain in the rear end, and was my most hated character until Seer showed up.

Respawn has done a bad job at balance, I think it's pretty clear. But this really is about Valkyrie, and frankly, she's quite up there in picks and needs to be reeled in. No stun, and no reveal, remove them.

@KelRiever did you try her above gold on the new ranked map after the animation cancel Nerf? The animation cancel Nerf really took away some of her omph (idd say the animation cancel wa proper broken on her), so she's not as dominating as an assaulter as last season but she can be very elusive in some situations. Take a better look at her statistics she's dropping now and had a small climb with the giveaway and is back to droppin

Now if you use her passive you cannot cancel the stupid salute like you could before and you risk getting killed before you can draw your weapon even if it's a burst. She's very good gold and down but try her above and you'll see she's not as good as you claim anymore, previous season she was for sure an S legend now I'm not sure if she's A or S. I'm not saying she's bad I'm just saying the resent Nerf she got took away much of her power. On the current ranked map her ult isn't as powerful as s11 since the map is much tighter and it's easier to punish by a good team in most areas, but ofc in some areas it's really good when you are able to use it. The ult will be more powerful best split if we get kings canyon.
