i think once people get used to it it’ll be fine. if she was released like this no one would be complaining that her movement feels bad, her movement was just crazy before the nerf so now it feels bad

[@dean988]

@@joalfred8548 her satchels are still more versatile (knockback on enemies, destroying util, the movement choice between vertically, horizontally, or both). jett has to use half her kit to do what raze does with one ability, and raze doesnt have to wait for satchels to start up like dash does. raze’s kit is also better and easier in general imo, with nade, boom bot, and her ult. the only reason to choose jett is to use dash as a get out of jail free card

I think most raze players will need to tweak their spots for blast pack to compensate a bit to take advantage more of the height that blast pack gives to get to the same spots consistently.

[@Mezurashii5]

Such a weird change. The real concern I have isn't not being able to do double satchels that aren't even useful in normal games, it's satchel peeks being useless and really easy single satchel jumps suddenly becoming an issue.

Yea in pro play no one really double satchels, most just use it for stall or like a mini dash. I guess it makes it harder to escape sticky situations with this.

[@egthatyoutubes8094]

I'd say, for jumps like the 1st one you did, the nerf mainly makes it easier to expect a Raze's Paint Bloom Surprise - Sky/e Edition as the nerf mostly forces someone to only be able to show up in certain spots of an area. This would be further backed up by the fact that they heightened the Satchel Audio Range (if I saw correctly)

[@tanjkelly125]

bro hell good content thpought it was a bigger channel gl man

[@Silvanor0]

Honestly the satchel being nerfed kind of sucks. The function is easy to use but the nerf in speed is just sad and made the character kind of less interesting for me.

[@3_pancakes767]

Wait, can you do another video, or a spreadsheet or whatever where you compare the TIMES in seconds of each of the jumps that were possible? You said it felt slower, and that's definitely significant during combat, and a time to complete comparisons might give us a sense in how much more frequently razes are gonna get shot out of the air.

[@mr.hi_vevo414]

Honestly, they probably could've limited the horizontal speed and simultaneously increase the vertical height so that these jumps are still possible, but slower horizontally. They could even change razes gravity strength while affected by the satchel so that raze is slower, but the jumps are otherwise unchanged.

[@V1c._.]

I think this update just justifies Raze, She's still a great agent, it just makes countering her a bit easy as she'll not be as fast with her satchels as she was. I hate neon's buffs though, she has almost no util now, since just one stun. Great video anyway, subbed!

[@Imran7jr]

judge raze got nerf as well because of the movt. nerf. They might have capped the max aerial movt. speed or made the sweet spots more tighter as earlier hitting the sweet sports on stachel used to give insane horizontal movement unlike any other agent in game.

[@tunico3423]

On a custom it may look bad, but in actual games the main nerf is to make raze a easier target during flights. Like, still, talking about duelists, the only agent that can match Raze's entry potential is Jett. Raze was legit broken. What a Iso can do for a exec? Trow a vulnerability? What reyna can do, trow an eye? Raze will clear space with boom bot, completely remove a spot with the nade and then will fly to the site. Thats too much. Shes still a top tier agent.

[@Simpfey]

1:22 WHERE DID THE SATCHEL GO?

[@ssss-fj2su]

Great video, thanks. Was wondering why you weren't getting thousands of views, and it might be because of KZbin and its dislike towards swearing. Apparently higher usage of what KZbin deems as "unsafe" language will result in less reach, and therefore harder for the algorithm to pick up. And since many valorant players are children, this is especially so. I think some youtubers get around this buy not swearing in the first few minutes, then let loose after a while. Dunno, dont quote me on that though

[@ProfessorSoil]

Do you still use them the same way? I was miss timing the satchels every time. How to video?😊

It is largely the same, but there are some situations where you have to change the timing on the second satchel, because the first satchel didn’t take you as far as it used to. I’ll think about making a video on it!

So, it is still possible to make the old movement satchels, however, it needs a better adjustment. Which makes the raze players can still figure them out. They're fcken unstoppable.

[@AnKris07.]

To the super boost, yeah you still can do it. But idk if it only happened to me but i needed to change the delay between shooting and exploding the satchel from 70ms to 100ms. Maybe it's only for me idk.

[@shaddu7394]

completely irrelevant question. how do you get your framerate stable on 200, are you using some sort of fps capping software or smth

[@tuhin1264]

It feels like if A raze is flying towards me I can spray them down where previously we had to hit the headshots to kill a flying Raze.

[@FBball.13]

you just need to adjust to the timing of throwing the second satchel because of the decrease of the speed

[@TheSlayerCompany]

I really think there should be a slight "wiiish" sound at the position where she is while flying. Its weird that she's completely silent while beeing in the air at 300km/h. That would be a good nerf, so you at least know where she's going

[@ProfessorSoil]

I think they have something like that, but only when she is falling directly down for some reason
