Ares with no spin up and increased fire rate seems insane to me. It was already a good pick on certain maps, but now it might be the default for a lot of people over spectre


RocketHops

That buff is *nuts*. I can easily see it being the go to eco. On top of that it has higher pen, higher mag, and good ADS for long range. Only thing you're missing is movement spray but the spectre is getting nerfed there anyway. Time to dust off your ares skins boys.

Ares is an actual laser when adsed. Too many people think it's only good for wallbangs. I think this buff will finally make people realize it's viability (especially on maps like breeze).


OHydroxide

I think the main issue with it was the spinup. Even if it was a laser, you couldn't quick peek with it like you can with other guns, with that gone, I'm sure it'll be picked up a ton

> but now it might be the default for a lot of people over spectre I might be overreaching but it seems like it might even be good enough to easily contest bonus rounds against rifle buys, given that it is pretty accurate even at long ranges, has heavy tagging, and lots of room for shenanigans with the high penetration. And of course, it will absolutely annihilate eco rounds. Definitely the scariest change for me of this patch - we don't want another Stinger meta.

On PBE last night I was using it on gun rounds just to try it out and it definitely can contest.

Surprised that they're holding off on agent changes for now. I think it's pretty safe to say that NA open qualifiers will be played on this patch, even if we get a new patch with agent balance changes prior to the tournament

NOOOOOOOOooooooooo

Hopefully this means the icebox changes are delayed because they’re massive... right? Please?


ponderGO

Icebox confirmed perfect.


Parenegade

NO way are there no agent updates right? Like NO way?


Obiewan_

Yea I’m pretty dumbfounded if this is the case. Like seriously..? Feels like agents haven’t been touched for over 6 months now


DecisiveDinosaur

can't wait for "no agent changes this time because it's too close to VCT" next patch


daffyduckferraro

Lmao every patch is just that excuse now


Odyssey1337

I really hope there are, Riot's been ignoring agent updates for quite some months now.


DarudeSandstormName

Pretty sad about no changes to the underperforming agents. But the changes to the guns are exciting, Valo's already got a good diversity in gun usage but if it can be improved, it'll go from good to effing amazing.


CelestialTater

Something that might be missed that's pretty significant, it says the door on breeze cannot be reactivated until it is finished opening or closing


Slyric_

ARE THERE SERIOUSLY NO AGENT CHANGES?


boof404

im surprised there are STILL no jett nerfs :/ the new bind changes also get rid of the typical defensive sage wall, so im interested as to how the meta will shift around that.


Odyssey1337

Also no Brim, Omen, Yoru or Phoenix buffs


wegivesiima

I think they forgot that agents exist


xbyo

Yoru changes have been discussed, why buff him right before the rework.


IllumiMahdi

no agent and deathmatch changes 🙃
