@EREGDS As much as I do like Valk’s viability. I actually do think she is technically too effective— that is, she is so effective at securing wins that you almost need one if you want to secure wins against strong opponents. Gibby has this same issue. This is exactly why almost all competitive teams have those two Legends.
And I’m ok with Legends being Meta. But I’m not ok with Legends making other Legends obsolete. I kind of feels like Valk makes Pathfinder obsolete.
Hear me out—
Path’s grapple is definitely still fun, but Jetpacks are a lot more viable for quick repositions to height than the grapple, and can be used again in succession faster than the grapple. Plus the fact that Valk’s jets aren’t even her tac, they’re her passive. The addition of the rockets make her abilities superior.
Then there’s the fact that Valk is a MUCH better recon Legend than Path.
Then there’s her deceptive hitbox, which looks larger than Path but is actually smaller than Path.
Then there’s her Ultimate, which doesn’t take terribly long to charge and is without a doubt the best reposition tool in the entire game. Ziplines can obviously be used for shorter scale repositions but lets be honest, people have learned how to absolutely beam people on the zip.
So yeah, there is no reason to put Pathfinder on the team when you can have someone play Valk. Makes me kinda sad.

@Axs5626Sxa5001 Oh yeah no way I would play path over valk. Path doesn't even have a real passive.
