Riot is like, "hmmmm, geko is performing balanced, lets nerf him to promote other agents that nobody plays." Also Lotus needed to stay in the map pool.
Bro the change to the clon will be broken, specific the cypher and vyse changes, that will be REALLY good for me a main yoru (The changes are, When cypher uses his ult the clone will appear in the map, and if vyse blind the clone it will say his voice line with the sound)
The time active after being thrown nerf is definitely what I’m looking forward to the most, istg it takes forever before you can even peek out get a kill and get out
@@MrEnriqueag yea everyone says “just shoot it 🤓” you forgot about other factors like does a comp have 2 initiators, or what if the gekko doesn’t even use their flash at the start of a round, you can never know unless you know how a gekko main plays.
this patch is weird, it came without the new battlepass and without the new TDM map. Also they didn't change the map rotation either (i had 2 icebox back2back x_x)
its on the next patch, where we will get the phoenix and sage buffs (sage not confirmed to be in this patch), probally 1 or 2 weeks after new act drops
It’s even better than I made it seem, I forget to mention Vyse’s flash will now play the ‘good hit’ voice line if it hits a clone, and the clone will now even appear on Cypher’s ult
Hey, i had the same problem and had a hard time figuring it out. I'm 99.9% sure this will fix the chat for you: go in your console settings, then vocal/ chat settings (i don't exactly remember what it's called) and make sure to enable the option for PlayStation (assuming you are playing on PS) to save your chat and every other option concerning the chat. I hope this helps
Why all the Gekko nerfs? Genuinely he is the most counterable agent because you can shoot out all his abilities minus moshpit. How is Phoenix & Yoru allowed to have the most obnoxious blinds, but Gekko is the one getting nerfed. Also so disappointing to get a new tdm map, instead of a new map. Also just delete Fracture.
I was in the same boat before. I also didn't understand and didn't like that at first since it was a novel thing and other shooters didn't have that map shuffle aspect, after all, why fix what ain't broken and just let players play what maps they want to play, right? but I realized later on that it was needed: 1.) It's a subtle way of nerfing/buffing Agents. Some agents are inherently strong or weak in other maps and one way to indirectly affect their power is remove/add the map altogether 2)Despite the cope of other shooter fanatics like CS menchild, Valorant has high amounts of stuff to learn, especially with learning and understanding how Agents work. Removal of maps allows lesser chance of burnout from a plethora of learning more stuff and training. 3) This is probably the most important one; it's a way of keeping the meta fresh and ever-changing and dynamic. This is crucial for competitive games with millions of players. At this point, games don't nerf/buff/remove/add somethinf 'cause theyre broken or weak, companies just deliberately do that in order to keep the novelty dopamine going. It honestly clicked for me the moment the three aforementioned points became clear.
@@godsgamer7494 The most important change the need to fix is that her ult need to give us infor about how many people got caught by the ult. Vyse ult is shit because the COMBINATION of small range, no infor, and it took over 4 seconds after hit to force the enemy use pistol. Just let us know who and how many people got caught by the ult so we can decide whether we should push site or not.
He didn't get buffed. Rather his clones didn't interact with certain abilities. Example is vyse flash and clove's decay. They fixed it. He will now show if he is decayed or flashed so the enemy cannot tell apart the clone from the real deal.
Why don't the just shuffle the map rotation instead of "making room" its so frustrating.. I freaking get abyss and sunset 3 times in a row.. and in a whole freaking day.. Bind and ascent maps come 1% of the time.. Only Abyss Lotus...Abyss Lotus ... sunset.. abyss lotus .. ohhh Icebox.. Abyss Sunset Ohhh Haven .. abyss Lotus .. What the hell.. Just include all the maps
They should just let us choose maps, and if they cant do that just add 2 map pools, one with good and one with bad maps. You could choose which one to play
@@mus19990nah, people will only choose a few maps they like and the people who like unpopular maps won't find games. Look at CS2, 99% of the player base only queues for Mirage Dust 2
Why don't just put all the maps install just putting maps and removing couple of maps you can just enjoy all the maps if there is more option on maps it is will be fun to play
Then people will literally only queue for a few maps they like which isn't what Riot wants because it encourages only learning 1 or 2 maps. Some maps may never get played either so basically, people who like those maps will never actually be able to play them because they won't find enough people queuing for them.

Gekko needed a nerf for a year. He did things other characters couldn't but they didnt change him. Everything about this game is so stagnant and underwhelming in my opinion
yeah let’s nerf gekko , the last fun innovative agent riot added and let’s not nerf cypher because he’s very balanced , instead let’s change a whole site on sunset instead of his actual trip
Icebox out of rotation again. When can they finally admit they have made a lot of shit map just because to keep up the content season release? They really need to be better
Still didn't nerf neon? Bro she is so powerful, we need nerf on her immediately! Also return viper in game, i started to play valorant because she was so fun to play, but she is useless now..

Gekko has definitely been getting higher play rates since the last patch in episode 7. I'd say its fine to nerf him from becoming the next skye.
gecko was far from balanced
gekko has been dominating the meta for months now, i swear yall r either crazy or u play gekko so u dnt like the nerf, the gekko meta was boring af.
@@suungjinu its just either agent crutches or riot dickriders that argue stuff is balanced when its not

Shoot it, peek somewhere you are not exposed or just shoot before it blinds you and watch it miss.

@@diamondguy-xs4lg it's easier to shoot his flash than turn or shoot any other flash...
You don't need to hold it.
@@MrEnriqueag if you have bad reaction time and the enemy gekko ain’t predictable, it’s pretty difficult to shoot the flash before you get blinded
Honestly its closer to a buff for gekko imo. The thrash change is a nerf for sure but wingman wallhacks just got better and dizzy too...
this actually feels like a gecko buff because the duration isnt that big of a change but dizzy has better aimbot
this patch is weird, it came without the new battlepass and without the new TDM map. Also they didn't change the map rotation either (i had 2 icebox back2back x_x)
Most of these Gekko nerfs and buffs don't seem too bad. Except for Thrash being 8 ult points, I'm a little sad about that :(
0:48 YES, YES YES I ALWAYS KNEW THIS WAS A BUG INDEED, SO HAPPY THEY FINALLY FIXED ITTTTTT
YEAHHHHHH
I actually miss fracture bro... Its a pretty stressful map, but its my comfort map
Losing icebox already is rly upsetting for me.. especially when we have abyss the worst map in rotation:))
how do you make the before and afters?

time to play sova
Sick update, though I still hate Sunset and I hope it goes away next rotation
