valorant please god make deathmatch an open server you can leave and join and remove the 1st place shit so people arent shifting around hiding in corners trying to win the deathmatch
Pre Buff Neon was well balanced. Then they made slide 100% accurate and sideways movement full speed instead of walk speed and made her broken af. Just revert to OG Neon 🤦♂️ No one had issues with her until the buffs no one asked for. Her slide is the issue. Even now.
with all due respect, the valorant balance team has to genuinely be some of the worst to ever do it when it comes to agent balance ngl it’s almost impossible to even try to understand some of their decisions. what pisses me off most is that they will OFTEN go back and essentially break their initial philosophies on a character instead of tackling the actual issues at hand
for example: when waylay came out, she had very slow pullout time on her dash because it would be too broken if she had fast pullout. Their solution? give her fast pullout time on dash.
same with neon. slow pullout on slide when she was released for very clear reasons of things like shotguns being too broken. their solution? fast pullout time that made her broken and unfun to interact against 90% of the time.
and obviously it’s not like you can just nail a perfectly balanced agent on release, so changes are expected, but man it’s like at a certain point they just send a guy in a room that doesn’t really play the game to just deal with whatever character the community is complaining about
what gets me most is that their final solution has been to almost always kill a characters identity instead of applying real, meaningful changes. does their balance philosophy change over time? or do they lose sight of it? I have no idea, but hearing from top players that slide+ judge is still very strong is the cherry on top for this one
anyway thank god for deadlock rn otherwise I’d be trippin out daily over this change
Thats fucking Valorant right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging slow disciplined default smile for the camera bullshit. Men overpeek, men lose every anti-eco, men knife the defuser, men run it down every round.
