Valkyrie is broken and you know it

@Cro I disagree with you less than I think you might imagine. Normally, true, you cannot necessarily go by pick rates but in this case you can.

And yes, you're sort of saying what I am in a different way, with some disagreements. Mobility characters are always going to be biased until something else sinks in. But Respawn, knowing that, doesn't balance for that. And that's really the problem.

There's a difference between popular picks because they are mobility characters and popular picks because they are just outclassing the rest, and much better. We're in the latter part. Now, I would say Gibby is no, not strong. No character is useless and a good Gibby (or anything) character can prevail. But you for sure are rolling rocks uphill with him. Crypto...I'd say not. Namely because, again, you really need a team to work well with him (part of the low pick rate, tho, for sure is all characters who work better as a team tend to be ignored), but I'll give you an 'you got me interested.'

The point is about Valkyrie though, and frankly, she is OP because she does so much. Mind you, again, I love her, but she's still OP. She needs nerfing, and/or a lot of other characters need more buffs. Including Gibby and Octane (as a quick aside, why do Valks tac missiles do 25 damage and Gib's ULTIMATE does only 40? You cannot justify the wider area of damage when you have a 4.5 minute charge time. And both stun :P )

I think you got to the root of it. Her tactical needs to be nerfed. Shouldn't stun, and shouldn't do so much damage, should be 10 per missile. Getting hit is a death sentence, unacceptable for a tactical.

@Bolted_FaultOnly people that panic and try to run from cover die from valks tactical when they are stunned and shot. When I played caustic I never died from that tactical unless I panicked.

Are you serious, her tactical is not powerful for the damage, its minimal if I get hit by her tactical I dont really care outside of getting out of the stun, I would prob not even care if they removed the damage really, I only use it for the stun. And comparing this to gibbys ult is just hilarious, if he hits you and you cant get away youre dead, its that simple. And as I said earlier its not really that powerful in higher ranked but yes its powerful in low ranked and pubs as most people have no clue how to counter her and panic like @hayhor refers to in his posts.
