Why do you think Valkyrie is a good addition to the game?

@Sand_spitter Her personal recon ability is very useful "I now on main landing theres red triangles indicating other players but sometimes i'm getting ghost squads suddenly right next to my teams when I pick a boring/ not hotdrop areas". Rockets have penalty "only useful in open/ outdoor areas" and passive is at least more interesting than the initial "move faster movement" that devs throw at us, even with Horizon filling this niche. Lore wise it's obvious she was made to appeal to the TF fanboys who kept saying "Blisk is coming this season" who would then look like idiots when it wasn't him .

@Sand_spitter Imo, devs lowkey push out characters without thinking of repercussions. Caustic - only he himself can fully go in a 1v1 with himself, Octane - for several seasons was a useless teammate in a "team based" game, Wattson/Crypto - love em both but devs didn't realize majority wasn't gonna sit down and practice them, Horizon - ch.1 of breaking rules everyone follows, Valk - ch.2 but it's the arc where her ult is so strong no other existing or future character will answer to it, Seer - whoever thought long range flashbang was a good idea needs to be fired, Maggie - high skill cap character who's main job is movement and disruption ... but theres easier characters who do both. Theres others but these where the big ones.

@Sand_spitter I would say Valk is a fun addition. Most people would say Octane is fun, but I hate his existence and alot of people would align this same hatred for Valk and others. Did the game need her ? No not exactly, same can be said for others tho. From devs perspective she's innovative "atleast during this time copy and paste was not an option" and pros use her as mainstay meta, but before season 9 you have to be crazy think a character who can jump their entire team across a map was a good idea. When season 9 happened, some of us accepted her, some us tolerated, and some others complain because she doesn't have the same limits most characters do. For the most part, I prefer characters who fill roles over copy and paste types and while Valk doesn't copy, it's a role nobody expected a character in apex to have and it ended up becoming a necessity for many.

@jaygates879Ok, so, fun; that's cool. That's pretty much how I see it.

I would like to know how the rest of the community sees her.

Personally I won't play her, nor play in a party that has her.

I'm struggling to understand certain things.

I will post my detailed opinion of her at the end in a non-rant if possible, if it's still relevant by then. But the main interest is how YOU see her.
