Abyss has a gap in barrier coverage on the attacker-side of the B site. Vyse, Veto, Viper, and Killjoy can all throw utility over during the buy phase. Submitted a ticket 9 months ago... all I got was an automated response. @AVRhits
I’ve main'd Veto since release. Had great fun playing him! ... but there are a few buffs I’d make:
Chokehold: tether cue, 9m deafen, 0.25s activation
Crosscut: 600ms leave, 350ms arrival
Interceptor: no wind-up
@mybitchpathetic lol. I've never actually left the trip there for the actual round. I'm gold and the thought of bug abusing while still being 50th percentile would feel too cringe. Would be funny though.
Here’s where the 9m deafen AoE would be a massive improvement.
Chamber is tailing Jett with awful spacing but still dodges the tether. He isn’t deafened, so he knows exactly what happened and turns around.
With the buff, this is 2 kills. Right now it’s 0.🥺
His signature play only works if you can trust the trap. Veto says “trap triggered” even when no one gets snared!
Fix: a subtle tether cue (the trap is a fragment of him, so it fits). Also deafen in a 9m sphere, bigger than the 6.58m tether, so bad spacing gets punished.
@mybitchpathetic There is no guarantee this gets fixed or when. Historical example, this bug was reported (directly to devs) when Abyss launched, the fix came over a year later. Presumably the Val team dedicates time to new map and agent dev? https://t.co/x8JdbMQkIx
PSA for all OMEN and ASTRA players
Abyss, the new map, has botched smoke UI for those agents and you need to be very aware to not mess up your smokes!
@VALORANT please fix

Interceptor: remove the 500ms wind-up.
Currently a phoenix flash pops in 600ms. That means a Veto player must react within 100ms if they want to parry a phoenix flash.
Even the fastest util should be breakable by reacting with enough skill.
