I didn't realize just how bad phoenix's flash was before. For reference, initiator flashes have 2s duration and yoru's is 1.5s. phoenix's was 1.1s, the shortest by far, and it had longer windup than yoru's or breach's.

now, initiator flashes are still all 2s duration and duelist flashes are both 1.5s. Phoenix flash windup is now in line with breach and slightly faster than yoru.

idk if this is enough. it's basically just bringing parity to his flash instead of having it be horribly underpowered, but it still feels like the only argument for his viability is farming his ult and using it every 3 rounds, especially with the minor buff it received

The dodge-ability is still the same. The only that thing that changed is he can throw the flash quicker than before. In other words, you can press left or right click faster than before when pulling out your flash. The speed at which it flies around a corner from the enemy's POV is unchanged.

I'd love confirmation that this is a bug

regardless of if it's what the devs want

You probably don't care about 99% of what the devs want which is log a nicer logging library, a refactor of the analytics libraries, on overhaul of the UI for their map editing tools. Making Phoenix f**k isn't on that list.

Yeah! I mean Skye's doggo gets caught. Her seekers don't but that's also her ultimate ability. It just seems like an unintentional nerf to an Agent who is already suffering from a low power level relative to the other sentinels.

I know you're probably not looking for some random player's thoughts on how to nerf an agent, but on the off chance that you read this - regardless of whatever other nerfs you apply, I feel that a TP cooldown nerf is absolutely imperative; he's able to use it potentially 7 times a round, gets very little punishment for setting up on the wrong site, and just generally results in very few direct counterplay options.

While I'm not sure what the exact numbers should be, a general flat increase to the cooldown seems like it would be a good idea, something around 30-40 seconds. Maybe it would be reasonable to keep it to 20-30 if the TP is recalled without being used; the anchors being broken should likewise have a 10 or more second penalty though.

Alongside this, it feels like an incredibly reasonable change to make it so that recalling TPs after the TP has been used or an anchor has been broken results in the cooldown resetting if the new cooldown would be larger than ...

"But it seems like the Devs don't care" Huh? Dont care about what? They're actively changing an agent to make the game more balanced. Not caring would be letting characters stagnate and the game to devolve into an unhealthy state without updating accordingly.

Also, there's a difference between taking feedback into account and proceeding as-planned vs ignoring feedback. Guarantee you're not seeing everything they are.

This might seem like a loaded question, but after the community's response, does the plan to nerf Chamber still involve taking away one of his trips?

Meanwhile riot dev's might just delay the ability greying out by 12 seconds. I understand what you are saying, but this could easily be a bug and hotfixed. You never know.

Anyone know if you can activate this ability while scoped in with the OP or not?

/u/penguinVALORANT might be able to answer this.

From the article, it seems it came out with patch 4.03

Is there a public roadmap of observing features currently being considered/developed? Observing and back end stuff is my favorite to keep tabs on

Originally posted by Bussymachus

Observing was sketchy in some games and there's really no need for more than 3 casting duos (you know which ones).

if you done mind me asking, is there a specific reason as to why the lan client isnt public?

Riot doesn’t even use a LAN client for their own tourneys lol the players just have sub-10 ping

Probably just a visual bug if anything or a network issue
