[@iditrirajan]

Also a minute they added more information for Deadlock's utility on the minimap. Now it tells where the grenade has landed, and where the ult has gone. And also it tells about the trapped enemy as well which it didn't unless it was your teammate which got trapped.

[@Olumkilidi]

correct me ıf ım wrong but ı thınk ıt was showıng these data all along

[@GreatSensei505]

damn new gekko is amazing

[@igormikuska4369]

I think 0.5 >>> 0.35 reffers to the time targets need to be within Dizzy's line of sight for the slime to be shot out.

[@gemmameidia8438]

Why would riot keep nerfting skye?????

[@ferderickk]

I haven’t got the patch yet :( when does it come out for Europe?

[@oatcake9996]

am i first to notice that they made the prime variant icons look cleaner? not huge but worth mentioning

[@ShakerNL]

OH lol, I totally forgot that team deathmatch exists!

[@lukatosovic2780]

How is deadlock not getting buffed wtf

[@Pyroferric]

She already got one recently. They can’t spam buffs on an agent. They would break it between multiple patches but not immediately after, or they would do everything at once

[@funkycrawler619]

I *hope* that their waiting for new year for a bigger Sentinel patch (like they did with the Controllers during the Astra/Viper meta). They probs also want to see how the GravNet changes affect things (imo it is SO good) but even if they rightfully buff her (her Trips and Wall the most), it probs wouldn't address the bigger issue at hand with the Sentinel class (i.e Flank-Watch vs. Barrier Sentinels). So I'm hopeful in the new year, if not, it's a dubs.

[@ayEasing]

​@@Pyroferricthat doesn't change the fact she's still getting 0 playtime. gravnet buff was a step in the right direction but the chamber era really scared the devs of buffing characters. deadlock needs to be able to pick up trips midround as well imo. another buff could be to just make it faster to stun

[@Luboszz]

@@Pyroferricshes still shit

[@Emerald_Forge]

​​@@ayEasingWell duh, if riot is only going to go the slow and steady route when buffing why would her pick rate increase at a faster rate than the buffs?

[@inksazyy]

So that's why it feels weird to play skye I try turning my cam when leaping hut if that doesn't work anymore

[@mgbm8335]

Skye is like 90%+ of my Valorant hours and im seeing her get nerfed again...good thing I switched to Fade again.

[@igyuma]

cuz Skye was busted and still is really good

[@cj4ev3r26]

Tbh this is hardly much of a nerf and I’d say skye is still 1000x better than fade

[@LeonPluuuz]

Skye is literally the same the dog nerf is not changing much really except a corner you peaked 50m away

[@javierlim922]

I Hope VALORANT has a function where we enter collection and can buy our favourite gun skins without having to wait and buy it in the Shop

[@hewgo817]

Thats a nice replay system, so glad riot is looking at comments from the community. Yet neptune 2.0 was leaked way before and we got some bs bundle out of nowhere :D

[@akashsarkar7888]

is there a new bug or is it just my game lagging for a second but it leaves a huge impact. even my ping is fine but the game lags for a split second and it's so annoying.

[@benjaminbuchler6064]

With the example on the trailblazer not stunning anymore, it literally bit the player lmao

[@distraction2803]

170 ping haha

[@tokyo2642]

Ouh this... this is great!!! You know what else is great? A Replay-System, Power balancing instead of Powercreeping, removing breeze(just my opinion) and i think deadlock is still...pretty dead..

[@chairman32]

whos powercreeping who?

[@vedantgupta2145]

the game is still very new bruh chill down , replay system will come with the road to glory thing that they have promised

[@-cactus.raven-]

⁠@@vedantgupta2145it’s been 3 years

[@KeyG0Bye]

As a past gekko main I've to say that I'm gonna be maining gekko again lol

[@gojoisgojo97]

Can i know the size of the pack can anybody tell me im limited on internet so please

[@Diaazp]

disable camera movement when leap?! saadd moment there.....

[@juicystrawberry9454]

what a good day to be a gekko main

[@kinyacat5919]

same

[@alexmlk4331]

I started play sky at the beginning of this summer and after first nerf I knew they will fak this agent to the ground and instantly picked another agent as a main and seems like I was right 😂

[@remaralte7715]

deserved

[@kapparex4959]

Skye still good

[@sirjorm]

its not that big of a nerf

[@Ssagar304]

I think skye is still the best overall initiator on every map

[@user-xz5ov6id4k]

Skye was really good at the start now the agent is more sht gg riot Better fix rank well whatever kill the game pls more R.I.P Valorant

[@justyami]

bruh the skye dog nerf was not needed and i dont even play skye

[@saad6948]

exactly, i hate the unnecessary nerfs. specially the info taking nerfs. Might as well turn this to CS, since you want just gun fights.

[@hatemhk261]

it was the amount of info skye give to a team is crazy all she do is info

[@inksazyy]

@hatemkh261sovas entire kit is wallhacks

[@saad6948]

@@inksazyy i am a hard-core sova and cypher main so 😂

[@inksazyy]

bro knows EXACTLY where we are@@saad6948

[@sanjeevdandin9350]

Nice one riot stripping Skye's reveal abilities when she is an initiator. Her trailblazer Nerf was totally unneeded and unasked for.

[@H0ffnungsv0ll]

you dont need to add people anyway to invite them you can just hit the + on the menu and invite with the name

[@gamersargenatrex7726]

it usually for streamers who have never been in a match or friend list , this is for streamers to play with others more easily

[@Abdallah-zp8jj]

The dizzy buff was needed 😂

[@imamangoo8632]

Just mained Skye to switch it back to the gekko as intiator again wow thanks riot

[@tolgacam1907]

skye is still very good, her dog still clears more space than any other drone ability (fade dog, sova drone, wingman), and you usually can have up to 4 flashes in a round as long as you are alive, and lets be honest you arent gonna claim gekko's dizzy 3 times and use it 4 times in a round

[@firehunters123]

Just her dog got a nerf. Her overall kit is still viable and pretty strong in the meta on pretty much all maps.

[@blad...]

​@@tolgacam1907with the new update you might

[@justjuniorjaw]

That Skye nerf barely affects most players, and I doubt you're already abusing the mechanic that's nerfed here.

[@michaelol]

cant move my camera around when I jump in dog, well at least give us an extra second in the dog form then damn, DAMN!

[@3htthexy]

That would barely be a nerf then, lol

[@michaelol]

@@3htthexy but I dont want to be nerfed :(

[@3htthexy]

@@michaelol me too bud, me too...

[@saad6948]

There was no need for this nerf. So compensating would still be better.

[@3htthexy]

@@saad6948 there absolutely was a need for the nerf, Skye is such a strong agent and she's got a high pick rate in pro league to prove it. she's also just good in ranked too since she's the only initiator that can both get Intel and flash for her team. She's extremely strong

[@baderalyahagamer]

Very excellent ❤

[@swigggityswooner]

Still no Phoenix buff…

[@_kaushikAshtekar-rm5vq]

what is size of this update?

[@_PhoeniX._]

Sm question

[@firezonegaming.234]

Same question

[@xeegii]

fuck im gonna get stunned by throwers now. throwers use sage to slow their team & wall off their teams entry. now im gonna get stunned & flashed. T^T i hate those people. if u dont wanna play then just dont

[@beebee8428]

rip skye

[@teawithmilk5517]

Nice update, definitely need to nerf chamber

[@gabrielvilanova5575]

why? (genuine asking)

[@benadrylpills]

it was a joke @@gabrielvilanova5575

[@firehunters123]

He definitely seems playable right now, but nothing as good as Cypher or KJ. Slight buffs are definitely needed.

[@velky_reeds]

​@@gabrielvilanova5575it's a running joke in the community. whenever there's a new update, players would jokingly say "nerf chamber" or "good update, definitely need to nerf chamber" as a sarcastic remark on how much nerfs Chamber has received over the years

[@inksazyy]

Ik it's a joke but why is chamber actually hard to play (I'm decent with op, just hard to peek without until)

[@Vanessinha91Pucca]

They should change Dizzy, allow us to look away to don't get flash, but it would STILL show the trace of where we (the enemy) are.

[@xastric6944]

hell na

[@kaljinx]

@@xastric6944why the heck am I getting flashed if I am not getting goo in my eyes

[@iamalolz]

just shoot it lol

[@inksazyy]

I love jizzy

[@ShadowFire266]

so basically nothing new except a map :(

[@gabbro-sg5gr]

riot still bitching with these updates and some reused skin skin

[@Mastergenius_]

Riot need to collab with community. They're 100% running out of ideas.

[@sirisblank]

i’ll be expecting the gekko nerf very soon lol 😊

[@SpideyGaming22]

why skye

[@Exxxplicit]

Literally just remove sunset and put back in icebox or fracture and I’ll be happy.

[@Cosmo-enjoyer]

Sunset is my favorite map

[@inksazyy]

@golden-ballz if u like sunset ur either a Cypher main or a criminal

[@SageDemon]

We need sage buff

[@joyous18]

As a toxic Skye main, being able to stun you allies is the funniest thing that will ever happen to Skye

[@-cactus.raven-]

Love it, team flash into team stun into another team flash. Well worth the camera movement loss during leap (still catch myself trying to do it, honestly miss it)

[@kayenby]

wish theyd nerf skye in a meaningful way instead of just making her more annoying to play

[@salmanazam9444]

Wait, what? Gekko buffed? Why? Am I the only one who thinks Gekko was pretty balanced? Imo, he absolutely did not need a buff. Why is Riot pushing Gekko on us and not doing anything about Dead-fkin-Lock? And Skye didn't need these nerfs. Nerf her flash, she's fine otherwise.

[@pedrorezende4873]

gekko is by far the worse initiator on defense. These buffs were very needed and maybe not enough

[@vermangaming6032]

Nerf chamber!!

[@Nice_Boat]

bruh why keep nerfing my girl skye

[@vipered1863]

bruh, skye is pretty bad now

[@Fantasyval]

L patch

[@firehunters123]

And, Skye nerds and Gekko buffs were definitely needed (Skye is still very strong and I am expecting more nerds in the future).

[@Fantasyval]

@@firehunters123 there is more other stuff to worry about in the game other then skye, sure the nerf to skye is acceptable but like so many others things they can do to make the game much better like all the valorant commments are flooding with the community asking for replay system but guess what they bother to change stuff that doesnt need to be changed at the current moment but nonetheless expected from riot, the games been dry for a while now. I am waiting for something better, maybe next year we get something better then a small tweak who knows am just a normal average joe what can i say.

[@xenon6972]

Bro ur accent hard to understand

[@m16pro4]

this game getting worse everyday

[@sadmanxsakib]

time to become gekko main

[@Umsorrypce]

Skye has needed nerfs for a fucking while, she is ridiculous.

[@silyindvual]

I WANT ICEBOX WHERE IS MY ICEBOX MY LOVE

[@D3ATHM4GE]

Already hated that dizzy so much, now im gonna suffer in competitive 🥲. But thx for videos kanga :)

[@Ayvver]

Just shoot it… not that hard😂

[@sayedabuzargifari9573]

why skye
