She's still situational at best and I see a lot of people doing stupid things with her. Her tactical is still pretty bad and can easily backfire on you if you're playing too close to cover. I think she does do well with building play on E-District and given the rotations she can situationally be pretty good! Overpowered? Definitely not. Have you seen how far a Pathfinder grapple can take you? A Rev jump? I do like her restored jetpack for a quick get out of trouble like it used to be which I think most people don't know how to use properly lol
A pathfinder needs to be really skilled to use the grapple that way. Beginner pathfinders just grapple into a wall and die. Plus the cooldown is 30s so you cant do much in that time. Valk is much easier for a beginner and with the buffs she no longer flies like a slow air target, making her a mild annoyance in beginners hands and a huge one in pros hands who know the map and how to use the ever changing heights and angles. And its a passive too. That said, the most busted is definitely horizon tac, which is a get out of jail free card, moves the entire squad, difficult to hit people in and also a tiny cooldown. Its an ult level ability as a tactical.
Dude that guy in your team was so hilarious lol. It was super funny seeing Merchant genuinely cracking up throughout his match with him, fun video man!
I feel like it's obvious but if you're a player with good fundamentals, she's so strong. The ability to take height on small buildings with ease is so strong, particularly mid-engagement. Everyone else who has the ability to take height has a cooldown, and unless you mismanage the fuel, valk doesn't. The ult is so good in ranked as well, i cant remember what season it was but i recall a couple of years ago that pretty much every team ran valk just to be able to rotate easily.
no. as a valk main since launch, the only thing op about her kit is the scan in the skydive... everything else is completely fine, she can finally MOVE as insead before she was mroe of a wall on foot. with the ability to scan beacons is perfect... but everything is balanced other than that scan in skydive
Yall better not f this up and make her nerfed again. I loved her in season 9 on release mainly because the jetpacks are so fun to combine movement tech with. That revert to her season 9 form should stay if other things become nerfed.
The changes makes Valkyrie playable. At frist time a good idea for this character. I put her from the corner and play her now again (my old main).! Great job Apex/respawn. Hopefully there will never come a nerv now.
As a person who got my first heilroom on Valk just before they nerf her to dirt and patch after made her ult item in the game - Im so happy I can finally play her again 😂
Don't nerf the movement, its so much fun now and not a "press to lose" button. If you must nerf, add a warning to players that are being scanned by valk. She's still disarmed while jet boosting, her tac is still situational and her ult is just a slightly faster balloon.
If the wall hack becomes big in ALGS they will nerf it down, but hopefully they don't nerf the rest of her down again. Her jetpack feels nice again finally.
Who cares no one is winning an olympic medal, just let people have fun. Apex has no fun moments at the moment, let someone fly around and enjoy themselves
Personally I don’t think she’s overpowered as long as evacs are in the game she is kinda useless I think they should make her ult go 300m in the sky because evacs are basically better so there should be a diff between the two
She's not OP because her hit box is still huge and majority of people who play her are still getting recked trying to jet pack in the air while in a fight.
Oh no no no no no. They didnt take them FAR ENOUGH😏 i miss the good ole days when they add a new legend or even buff a legend to the roof to switch things up a bit
When there are legends that exist like revenant with an over shield, fuse with free damage, Newcastle with infinite revive potential, vantage has a sniper and the recon perk to just shoot you from across the map, and of course cringe wannabe edge lord caustic I just don’t care about these changes as braindead people like Mande do. Every single legend has the enemy highlights from 30m away so I don’t see how that’s a big deal other than you can see it just jet-packing anywhere. Wallhacks on her second perk are in a way op but still you have to be flying through the air not shooting your weapon to use it. It honestly isn’t even applicable in the endgame unless you’re spamming her ult for no reason. I actually have liked her other perk that has more jetpack fuel and reduction in delay better but that’s just me.
I love having my team die, and me thinking I got away from the 3 stack chasing me, then the Valk hits the sky and fullsends on me with her team, while I'm hiding in a random building and obliterate me to dust while twerking over my lifeless body and deathbox. Thanks respawn. 😂
@Thegamingmerchant please help me man I was banned for no reason on apex pc apparently I was cheating idk what to do I didn’t cheat and I alr sent them an email and they gave me an automated response help please
Oh no apex made a fun character fun again. How could they do that
She just got buffed I’m sure her pick rate will go down
Salty that it’s finally a Valk meta
@EchoEkow 🤡
@@thatguydonny4504 you’re god damn right
Kinda the same with crypto. Recent buff as well as new players using him to do the crypto unlock challenges.
@@EchoEkowvalk already was meta before evac towers were about Eejit

The scan is fine.
Shut up

The only reason Valk pick rate is high because she the only legend got a massive rework so lot of players are testing her out
Everyone is just trying her out man don’t make it seem like they need to bury her again

I love Valk because you can have recon AND Movement in one legend so you have a certain freedom in the other two picks
Highlighting enemies while jetpacking is news to me and I didn't see it in the video. Was he not using it right? I want to see what it looks like
08:56 enemies just become red, not the same as when ulting
As a person who got my first heilroom on Valk just before they nerf her to dirt and patch after made her ult item in the game - Im so happy I can finally play her again 😂
Hopefully respawn doesn't over react. She just got a buff after being one of the lowest picked legends. Let us Valk mains have something.
Don't nerf the movement, its so much fun now and not a "press to lose" button. If you must nerf, add a warning to players that are being scanned by valk. She's still disarmed while jet boosting, her tac is still situational and her ult is just a slightly faster balloon.
The kraber callback 🤣
People underestimate how strong she is for the fact she can literally fly at like any point in time. A game like apex, thats super important
If the wall hack becomes big in ALGS they will nerf it down, but hopefully they don't nerf the rest of her down again. Her jetpack feels nice again finally.
Her and crypto make igl easy in competitive settings, she's alright for casual play
23:40 He one clipped me from Zimbabwe 😂😂😂😂 # Love my Country 😂
Only came back for the akimbo mozam and valk buffs. Once they nerf her Im gone. Too many legends need a change.
Man do I absolutely hate the health bars
Saaamme
I saw u in silent gamings ranked video with Loba
They need to revert the seeing through walls which was idiotic to begin with and she would be a perfectly top tier balanced legend.
Who cares no one is winning an olympic medal, just let people have fun. Apex has no fun moments at the moment, let someone fly around and enjoy themselves
Next challenge: 4k damage but you CAN NOT do thirst damage.
That guy is definitely from Balkans serbia by far definitely 😂😂 I know it
Respawn has made every recon legend OP at some point or another... except Crypto, who gets the bare minimum buffs.
Crypto was op. when his emp didn’t damage and slow him and his team.
@@xventus00x70 wait what? There was a time where it didn't?
@@casey997 cant remember when he got the buff but August 18, 2020. Is when they neft him so his teammates get slow when hit with the emp again
Yeah that newcastle was definitely worst performing in that team. I don’t even know how he got the delusion that he’s better than the pathfinder.
@41:50 Is that a solo behind you on the scan??
Gaming Merchant is no longer rated E for everyone anymore 😂... PEGI 18
What do you mean 😂?! Merch is still E for everyone solo queue not so much
Only Valk mains would notice this but her jet pack is so much better now.
I feel like everyone noticed. It’s really fast now and the fuel goes up really quickly
@@AEDreamsfx I meant feeling the difference in the game not the patch notes. Actually in the game.
She is really only good against bad players, she isn't meta unless played with a fully committed support squad
If valkyries buffs went to far, then pathfinder needs heavy nerfs lol 😂
Seeing people through walls on the skydive is a bit far but everything else seems fine.
Crypto pick rate is crazy. For low level players usually he's just a detriment to the team.
Crypto also had recently an unlock event. You can unlock him for free by doing objectives. Watson is next.
Personally I don’t think she’s overpowered as long as evacs are in the game she is kinda useless I think they should make her ult go 300m in the sky because evacs are basically better so there should be a diff between the two
I think valk isn’t OP because it’s so easy to beam her while jetpacking
valk buff is a step in the right direction,, this is what they should do for underwhelming legends
can’t wait for pros to criticize her and respawns nerfs her😂
I cant use her cus shotgun while tap strafing activates jetpack :(
She's not OP because her hit box is still huge and majority of people who play her are still getting recked trying to jet pack in the air while in a fight.
it’s okay they’ll nerf again in 2 seasons
Merchant i can't watch you anymore. I feel like you throw so much. Your triggering.. lol no wonder your teams rip on ya... 😅
I'm a valk main
Oh no no no no no. They didnt take them FAR ENOUGH😏 i miss the good ole days when they add a new legend or even buff a legend to the roof to switch things up a bit
Too far? Yea this is the first video of yours ill be disliking. I swear yall just want everything to be mid and boring as possible.

Yep
Nah she good
Valarie ain't that good, her shooting missles barely do any damage, it's situational
Yes. 100%. Its ridiculously OP. No idea what Respawn were thinking
meh, cant shoot while jetting
That's it?
