GEKKKO ABILITIES IN GAME

[@neoshenlong]

Wingman being able to plant is going to be huge if you pair it with smokes. Not only does it have a smaller hitbox and it will be harder to shoot through smokes, you can use it to fake the defuse and shoot back at whoever is covering it. This dude is going to clutch so many rounds.

Send it inside of harbors smoke, free plant with no risk. We're gonna have plant lineups from spawn

[@keikurokami9299]

Not really. Aside from the molly and ult, the area of effect for the other skills are rather small. You have to choose wisely where to use Gecko's utilities. And when your utils didn't hit anything, retrieving it makes you vulnerable if no one is backing you up.

Of course he is gonna have a hard nerf , every single agent added through updates was first OP and then nerfed to death then balanced

[@benjackson6260]

That's because they want u to use the new agent... To popularize it... (Except harbor of course)... And since everyone wants to win, they WILL use it... But then as its unfair for other agent mains, they will finally Nerf it... But my guess is... They purposefully made the defuse/plant ability to combo it with harbor... Since they cant make that agent popular on its own, they made it so that his abilities are useful with someone else's... Like fade and raze combos...

[@marchedo3]

Wingman doesn’t reveal enemies, that was the recon bolt. It just simply stuns enemies and can plant/defuse the spike.

[@tinminator8905]

The problem with moshpit is that it will literally never hit anyone because you have 3 seconds before it actually deals damage. IMO the worst molly type ability in the game. Also only 150 damage in the center. Compare that to a raze paint shells XD

[@REVENVALORANT]

Mosh pit (C) : FIRE to throw Mosh like a grenade or ALT Fire to throw underhand. After landing, Mosh Duplicates across an area and explodes after a short delay. Wingman (Q) FIRE to send Wingman forward looking for enemies. If an enemy is found, Wingman fires a concussive blast in a triangular shape to the first enemy seen. Thrash (X) FIRE to control & link with Thrash to steer her. FIRE while in the Ultimate to lunge forward and explode, detaining any enemies within their radius. Dizzy (E) FIRE to send Dizzy forward into the air. Dizzy charges up and sends out beams at enemies in their line of sight. When enemies are hit, they are blinded.

[@kevinnguyen8631]

@@psywave_yt What you dislike is what I like, and what you dislike is what I like. I like that his functionality doesn't bring anything too new. If riot is too obsessed with making every agent unique, we end up in the scenario like league of legends where characters are overturned and impossible to balance. What you are describing is what overwatch does and at the end of the day valorant is still a tactical shooter. Abilities should emulate flashes, smokes, grenades, etc. to a degree. The flavor of the agent should shine through their lore, voice lines, interactions, and less through their abilities even though the abilities should reflect the style of the agent to a degree. I want the game to have tactical shooting at the forefront and abilities moreso in the back. Having an ability that could plant and defuse is already something that is new enough for me. Effects like deafen, slow, heal, detain, concuss, etc, should always be consistent no matter what the agent is so the person hit knows what status effects they are under without having to read the hud at the bottom left in my opinion. Its impossible for valorant to find a balance for the player base for this reason. Your outlook isn't exactly wrong and mine isn't exactly correct either. We have different visions for how valorant should function and its probably difficult for riot to appease the spectrum of players.

Dizzy is questionable since it can be shot.. But it does it job at revealing enemy even if it get shot kinda like Fade octopus Wingman defuse is OP but the clap and plant is questionable and situational at best Trasher is just prime candidate for the next Roza ult.
