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

@Sand_spitter

I really don’t find her to be that OP.
Her jetpack is no different than horizon’s spacewalk, or Path’s grapple, as in being able to reposition to high ground fairly easily, as a matter a fact, she’s way more vulnerable when using her passive than Path, or Horizon, it’s like having a huge bullseye on your back when using it.
Missiles, very situational, and very easy to avoid getting hit by them.

Her strong suit is definitely her ult, but again, kinda situational, not sure if you tried flying in to reposition come end game, but you’re basically sitting ducks in the air, everyone focuses you, you’re kinda screwed.

Pick rate is high, average player utilizing her is gold 3 (second highest), in first position is Horizon with gold 2 players.

P.S. I've got 150 shards sitting with her name on them! lolol

@Gabrielmojo26Yeah I def think she doesn't appeal to everyone. I know some people simply dislike her because of her voice lines.

For me she just has too much going on. Jetpack with unlimited fuel / no real cool down. Can constantly get to high ground quickly. Can ult the whole team away. Reveal enemy locations while doing so. Can scan for next ring. Has missiles with a pretty large radius for what it is, and it slows / disorients really well. I mean sure, everything can be situational, I get that too. You're not just gonna pick her and win, just like you're not just gonna pick up a r99 and win the match, but it would be hard to argue a p2020 is better than an r99 too. To me she's one of those characters that can make you heavily reliant on her kit, and that alone tells me something, it's certainly not nothing. But yeah, to each their own I guess.

ps - facepalm..no bro, just no LOLOL

@Sand_spitterHer missiles should be removed and her flying should be her tactical, so she actually has a real cooldown between flying. Or she should just fall to the ground if she's shot while flying.

So Octane should be slowed when shot using tactical?

Or Pathfinder should fall of his zipline/grapple when shot?

She DOES have a cooldown when flying. There is a fuel limit, and a minimum fuel to ignite the rockets.They increased the minimum fuel once since launch, and I could see the argument that it needs to be increased again because smart players feather that to be harder to shoot when taking high ground. But as noted elsewhere she's vulnerable when flying compared to every other movement character's methods where they can usually shoot.

The missiles are a tactical, by definition. They are technically worse off than the knuckle cluster. I'd argue instead that Bang and Gibby's ults need to do more damage, because they are too low compared to this tactical, which a much larger charge time. If you're not moving out of them when they are telegraphed, that's on you. You should not be pushing when blind.

The problem is, she has an overloaded kit, being both an Attacker and a Scout. Lore wise, and primary parts of kit, she's an Attacker. I think all Scout related perks should be removed from her. Done. Simple. Fixed. No more free skyward dive to avoid fights and get to next ring. You NEED to work with another scout.
