BRIMSTONE NERFED ALREADY?! - Patch 4.05 in 3 Minutes

[@shenko_]

So it takes them ages to nerf Astra but as soon as people have fun with Brimstone, he gets nerfed immediately. Sounds about right.

[@corvoattano4544]

yeah this nerf was not needed

[@Qurley]

“No new agent because they’re working on balancing other agents” So far nothing has been done to cypher, phoenix, neon, and sova?

[@henrydoesstuff4260]

​@@Qurley I dare to say Sova is the most balanced agent- hero- character I've ever seen in a multiplayer video game so far and don't know about Neon she's in a bit weird position. Cypher could use a bit of buffs (maybe camera cd decrease?) and Phoenix NEEDS a Yoru treatment!

[@redree306]

@@Qurley what about jett

[@CB-xp9ew]

@@henrydoesstuff4260 sova is pretty much a must pick on the majority of maps, he is pretty darn strong, don't think he's overpowered but I feel like he could be nerfed a lil

[@Boneman9000]

The changes to weapon priority are fantastic. There were some weird instances with raze ult/chamber Op/Neon finger blasters where if you used an ability while having the ult out, you’d have to purposely swap back to it which was cumbersome. Now I can tell it to just bring those abilities out immediately after an ability cast. The way it should be.

[@pancake8119]

Cumbersome lol

[@od_avenon]

Yeah, like needing to have your knife out to plant… then having to switch to a gun just before using the spike so that you wouldn't be screwed if there's a surprise.

[@timonbrall2316]

have you tried triple boosting with raze after the change? because it DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE. yeah great work rito...

[@Umbra_lol]

NOT THE STIMMY

[@VardhanShrivastava]

The literal F is this! Cost bump too!? Seriously, gawd!

[@NA-jy4zd]

Gee-golly man!

[@lefay5082]

God I hope this map system works. It feels like I only get the same two maps everyday.

[@Qurley]

“No new agent because they’re working on balancing other agents” Nothing has been done to cypher, sova, neon, chamber, and phoenix!

[@ACE_2000]

Raze ult too

[@Lol-jp1ju]

I don't think chamber needs anything

[@flashfire1259]

Sova is extremely hard to nerf since his problem child ability is his Dart and it has super clear counterclay.

[@spoofingistan]

There wont be new agent in the middle of the act. We get new patch in every 2 weeks. and in the end of act we get either map or agent. and in next act we'll get an agent who is black mailing other agents.

[@rona4314]

brimmy with the stimmy 🤤🤤🍑

[@arvy7765]

who even asked for this nerf?

[@redree306]

Probably a salty duelist main that was mad that brim was “too fast”

[@rahulsarkar5680]

Brim got nerfed that soon, didnt expect that

[@kongakar3055]

we need an option to be able to keep the marshall on hold and the operator on toggle scope ads, that would be amazing

[@MrHawk88]

that’s been in settings for 2.5 years

[@TPOID]

@@MrHawk88 for both guns yes, not separate for marshal and op i belive

[@MrHawk88]

@@TPOID why would you want a diff setting for each gun

[@DualityofLife]

@@MrHawk88 cause the marshal has a very fast playstyle, while the op has a very slow one, making hold generally better on the marshal and toggle on the op, I personally play with hold tho, I think its nicer even with an op. I heard this from a lot of sniper mains tho, and I agree with the person who wrote this, its a simple fix and just qol.

[@TPOID]

@@MrHawk88 dont ask me, i was just explaining xD I also dont know why

[@huzaifaarsalan]

why not make it like before. that's just doing him dirty.

[@huzaifaarsalan]

well what do I care, I'm a duelist main.

[@aj-xh6qu]

EXACTLY! THE MAIN THING ABOUT HIS STIM IS THAT THERE ARE TWO OF THEM.

[@lkjasd892dkljasd92]

Does the map selection change count a map if someone dodged in queue?

[@ChibiGwen]

Man. Grandpa doesn't deserved that

[@botchie]

we saw it coming

[@iiillliiill5917]

Daddy brimmy 😭😭😭

[@Magnum69]

Ngl I haven't had issues with map distribution for over half a year

[@c_xn]

1:02 we all know that this one is going to be the most cap shit in this patch

[@c_xn]

rip Brimmy with his 2 stimmies

[@seppo638]

Disappointing Patch overall. Nothing new and unnecessary brim nerf, while Jett is still not changed..

[@ArcadeAssaultSrb]

WHY RIOT WHY,THE BEST AGENT THAT HELPED US ALL 1ST TIME WE PLAYED GAME AGAIN FKIN NERF AFTER BUFF,F Y RIOT

[@NOPPAALLL]

and after update brim not used again 😂

[@jcwarain789]

Dont fucking nerd brim man, he really needed this buff

[@GIGOwner]

Why mess with his stim? it's the only fun part of his kit.

[@CaKoshie]

Rip to the captain, what's needed is Neon Buff + Chamber nerf!

[@beke2672]

whats there to nerf about chamber? he literally need just good aim to play

[@CaKoshie]

@@beke2672 OP slightly slower, increase his trips noise factor and reduce duration. Unfair compared to KJ & Cypher

[@RAYRAYGamer2]

Well brim Pick rate going down again

[@Bittexu]

Brimstone: *viable for 1 patch* Riot: "nerf this shit" Meanwhile Sova and Jett being top tier for several patches...

[@EggoNaut]

Imo, sova and jett has a set theme for their kits so changing anything would be too much and I'd argue that both of them are in a good spot rn. Brim's kit rlly doesnt have anything, hes just a guy with his ipad.

[@Bittexu]

@@EggoNaut There are a lot of ways to nerf Sova ask any pro player theyll tell you that his drone is op. Jett is just a stupid concept of an agent. The fact that she can escape anything even if she played bad and should get punished is bullshit, takes no skill to play this agent unless you have complete dogshit aim you won't do bad on her. She needs a change she just can't remain this powerful for this long... I don't understand your Brim argument? A joke perhaps?

[@AA-wb5ed]

How tf do u wanna nerf Jett???

[@AA-wb5ed]

@@Bittexu so basically you want em to remove her only ability??? Lmao, that's so dumb

[@EggoNaut]

@@Bittexu What im trying to say is, if they nerf sova's drone/ jett's dash too much, they wont be sova/jett anymore. Each to their own i guess

[@beke2672]

they couldve just bring stim beacon *cooldown* back. this nerf is so unnecessary

[@Umbra_lol]

NOOOOOOOO

[@arpitsahay18]

Nice

[@mokshbarapatre7504]

so evrything is good, but wot abt the game's fps and ping related issues , nothing abt that???

[@bartolomeocannibal2060]

Funny the thing is that jett mains complaining too much when she was silent nerfed while other agents like sentinels , controllers and some initiators even complaining they didnt revert it back just how jett nerf do ... Totally IRONIC Also Care to Buff ur Phoenix eyy he's the star yet u didnt even care to buff his utility :D :D

[@madminion707]

Nooooooooooooooo

[@levi.ackerman.192]

ಠ_ಠ

[@patdus11]

what the brim nerf are so unnecessary man etf

[@arclightarchives]

This is really unneeded. Seriously.

[@RadeantGaming]

Riot is trash Because they nerf brimstone already And valorant is dying if they keep nerfing already okk agents

[@sudheer2k]

who else think breach aftershocks breaking the kjs ult should be removed?

[@lohitm]

nah, i think its range is just too much

[@mcflyer120]

Nah I think it’s balanced tbh

[@thecatfather957]

Just you apparently

[@idclol2883]

"if youre a brim player youre not gonna like this" i am a brim main but id rather play my agent when hes balanced. good nerf.

[@thishandleistaken1011]

he was balanced either way

[@casaruto]

@@thishandleistaken1011 lmao it was so broken do not cry this is what they did to viper and now brim gets it to do not cry

[@thishandleistaken1011]

@@casaruto Who's crying? Get outta here you absolute weirdo. You sound like a salty viper main to me, also probably 15 years old.

[@DualityofLife]

@@casaruto bro what the fuck. im a viper main and I think the nerfs were unnecessary, yes, but the brim one was next level unnecessary, its a bad change, nerfing a character after 3 weeks while letting astra exist for 10 fucking months. Also well get an omen meta, with that a lurking meta, and to counter that well see more sentinels making for even more sentinels, thats where the metas gonna go imo.

[@bawower8905]

Only the REAL Brimstone mains agree that the change were good. I’d argue it could make him more fun in the long run.

[@Opoliner]

LOL we all knew this was coming just not so soon.

[@pedrosolano6844]

lixo dms esse nerf

[@suprakashbiswas5031]

They wont buff astra anymore? so sad to see the most important controller nerfed like that

[@bawower8905]

I mean, is she? She isn’t an OG like Brimstone or Omen. She was considered a very frustrating agent to play against, especially in pro play.

[@swapnilpal906]

wth bro.....brim was good till now and now he will be again a trash agent

[@asuna3160]

They made him thrash again

[@StriaghtRight]

Yeah nerf that’s shit it’s stupid buff Astra a little and put viper back to normal and we’re healthy

[@DualityofLife]

even tho Im a viper main, you cant put viper back to where she was before. It would make her way too broken compared to the other smokers. Give her the upped cooldowns but revert the plus 50% fuel drain when wall and smoke are both up, revert the brimmy change, buff astra by giving her her 5th star back, with maybe a little bit increased cooldowns as well so she doesnt get broken again, and then you'd have a pretty balanced smoker meta imo.
