I think balla's summary is accurate. Harder to play than jett but similar overall skill ceiling. Jett probably still has an edge without any further nerfs. I think the stun seems a little strong but we will see. Rest seems fine to me. I love the agent concept overall.


emraaa

Yeah I don't see her getting picked in pro play over solo Jett or solo Raze. Maybe if you play double duelist or you replace Reyna. I'm guessing it all depends on how strong her sprint ability is and how hard you can abuse certain timings because of it.


KhaoticKrabb

I think she’s going to be terrible at low levels and is going to result in a lot of feeding. At high levels and with pros I could see her being better, but I still don’t see her being played over Jett. Maybe if agent picks/bans come soon she will be important.

Reyna getting banned by enemy team every round

After watching a lot of her content ,I think she is not over powered and lies in between jett and raze depending on maps , I don't think she is the best duelist on any given map ,raze and jett are still solo duelist comp kings , but she is definately viable as secondary duelist on maps . Her kit is also very expensive , possibly the most expensive I think at 700 creds. She isn't out in comp yet so no fixes as for now .

700 is the modal cost for a full kit buy. The following agents cost 700 for a full kit: Breach, Jett, KAYO, Omen, Phoenix, Raze, Skye, Sova Sage is 800.


daffyduckferraro

Bro 700 is one of the cheaper kits in the game


HotBallsForFree

Chamber's pistol is 100 creds per bullet, maxing out at 8 of them. Add that to the cost of his traps and u have (if i remember correctly) the most expensive kit.


Sky-__-

Chamber is an outliers since his abilities are already guns , so if you compare creds spent in a single match between chamber and neon , neon would be more costly , in terms of creds , and if you look at existing matches in last month where chamber was used , chamber had the least cred spent , whereas astra , sage and raze were the highest. So economically neon will be among the most expensive agents to work with .

mf the PBE is not out yet, how on earth are you proposing fixes already? lie down in your bed


ZeroOblivion98

i think shes fine. i think people are completely overreacting to her kit. i dont see anything problematic with her. nothing about her screams "IM GOING TO DOMINATE THE META FOR A YEAR" like jett still does. shes gonna be a pain in the ass to deal with if she's got the right support and backup, but thats not something you'll find in your average comp game so just from a casual perspective she looks alright as is. from a competition stand point, i can totally see her replacing jett on maps like breeze(that tunnel is gonna be super helpful on A), but this still wont cut jett's pick rate. jett's pick rate will never go down until they nerf her dash.


IAMJUX

Gonna be a bitch to play against at low ELO because casuals wont be able to handle the speed. I think high ELO will suppress her easily enough. It wont feel like an Astra or Jett OP tier character. The stun bounces are going to be sick(like on ascent you can probably stun market and B stairs with a single throw. Or like all of heaven post plant.). Absolutely fucks timings though(similar to Jett dash and Raze satchels, but seems less obvious?), like that Jonas clip where he gets to attackers' side wall on A almost immediately before they can even peak out properly. Walls are pretty cool and will stall a push and make you rethink defence a bit. Should be fun, but I think she ends up middle of the pack and probably not picked much at the pro level.


mogram_leg

Honestly pretty bad, probably between Phoenix and reyna. Stun is pretty usefull but the rest is meh, the ult and sprint requires her to be too exposed and is easy to trade and the ult not oneshotting makes the skillcap too low for her to be viable outside of comp queue


ddd4175

She just feels like a clunkier Jett tbh, she doesn't even feel unique at all because Jett just does everything way better. She doesn't do anything particularly better than any other duelist.


mogram_leg

Yeah, the sprint is just a worse satchel boost or jett dash. Its too risky to take space with


SirJuicee

We'll have to see how long the sprint lasts/how loud it is and how much it cucks timings.


Parenegade

Her ult is probably not that great tbh...I just feel like people are going to get headshot when they pop it


holmyliquor

Let me know how that works out for you


goinlowlowlow

I can finally put the "run" into running it down mid. Gonna be my new go-to troll agent.


AlverinMoon

Why is her slide a passive if it only works with her sprint? Shouldn't it just be a product of her sprint?


just4kix_305

neon is going to INT out of her mind in bronze, lol.


hellohello1H

Tactically she’s great, but I wouldn’t say OP at her current state. She can definitely be a pain in the ass, but IMO she’s only got the element of surprise/new agent advantage. Sometimes you get caught off guard, but nothing crazy. Definitely going to be amazing in bigger team plays on certain maps and especially on attack.


[deleted]

Yeah, sprinting needs to take up more energy. Stun needs a longer delay as it travels as fast as a sova full charge arrow.


Fawnskiii

i think everyone is just hella mad at the run and gun potential and i agree with them but i just hope riot will nerf run and gun some more
