Petition against the Patch 11.08 Nerfs

FIDOW

Those nerfs are just downright awful. Gunplay is already important as it is because of the ability to one tap someone before they even get a chance to react. And if we wanted focus on gunplay, we’d would be playing CSGO. Abilities usage is already balanced.

Please reconsider implementing those nerfs.
Anyone who agrees, please respond to the poll.

As fairly new player I didn't even notice these except maybe the "protected bullet" one - yesterday I felt that more people are shooting HS on me WHILE moving.

Yet with Valorant I still can't get it - is my setup wrong or is there such a huge peeker advantage "lag". Meaning I regularly get ₁₇₀ ms reaction speed test, on my "on point" days I get it below 150, on the day's I feel off it creeps up to 190 ms, yet in game it feels that I am always like half second if not "behind"...

Improving protected bullets seems like dumbing down the game 🙁 hope Valorant is not following Apex Legends path = make game easy for weekend gamers with controller to increase revenue stream while making game totally noncompetitive (no competitive mindset, motivation to work on mechanics).

But clearly I see some similarities = improving aggressive legends vs slowing down defensive ones, which is not ideal 🙁

To be fair after first full day of grinding I don't see too big of an issue so far.
Glad about the option to report rank manipulation, really hope that will clean up smurfs faster than before...even thought I see daily people who defend smurfs and even hackers as long as they are on their team and provide "free RR" which is sad. People more often report for voice abuse or just to trigger someone they subjectively don't like vs reporting actual smurfs / hackers when it is blunt obvious they do either or both aka your 30+ frags per game superstars.

Back to the topic - played mainly Breach, felt fine. Yes I did keep in mind tighter timing and ability cooldown time, still managed just fine, had even some really good games.

Playing Omen and Deadlock was a bit harder as now you really can't spam signature abilities and it seemed like enemies were aware of that or just automatically pushed if abilities were not spammed in many cases throwing most of my teammates off-guard = I can't remember when I lost so many 5 man into site pushes in a heartbeat...

Long story short - so far definitely not game breaking patch.

p.s. Abbys and Pearl changes actually are very nice, especially Abbys.
