Valkyrie is broken and you know it

I think I never died with lifeline when I had a res situation going on, thats how I got my 3 team wipe badge on PS4, I just facetanked everything, my team cycled through reses and died to nade damage while I just kept droning through. She was insanely op, and in arena if she had that shied she would be 100% pickrate, if you dont pick her you loose kinda legend.

I think you might need to play valkyrie a bit to learn how to counter her, she dont have perma flying for one, its very easy to counter her, in some places she can be hard to chase with a non movement legend, octane, pathfinder, rev and so on has no issues chasing her if they can spot where she goes or has a $500 headset with proper sound enhancements. I am in no way conserned about any valk these days, she was a force a couple of months ago pre anim cancel fix. From what you say you refering to her pre fix, now she cant fly and beam, she got a proper cooldown on her flying to wield that cant be canceled anymore to my knowledge. Atleast shes very easy to counter for me.

Take a look at this: https://apexlegendsstatus.com/game-stats/legends-pick-rates/Masterpred

Its showing a clear trend on high level 😉 and is a proper picture of whats going on right now, she is strill strong buf not as strong as many other legends, especially on the current maps. And I think currently she is in a good spot when it comes to balancing, some legends might still need tuning to get up there yes, for instance lifeline, pls remove cooldown after res, that would make so much of a difference and open up more play options for her. Still maps and ranked rules will change pickrate, but I think when everything balance well, you will see top 5 change more between maps still wrath will stick, same with pathfinder and octane, their general kit is way to versatile as prime breacher/initiator tools compared to other legends.
