honestly an L opinion I know but like just give her one more star so she's fun in comp. she doesn't need it yet like give some buffs to the other agents first but eventually maybe?
tonyhart7 [#2]buff phoenix first lmao, astra is still viable in certain comp and map

NOT EVERY CHARACTER HAS TO BE VIABLE
ITS OKAY IF PHOENIX SUCKS
there are literally only 3 smoke characters (viper isn't a solo controller don't kid yourself) it's pretty shitty if 1/3 of them suck
Danny [#6]I miss when astra was OP
it was the only time i could have fun on a smokes agent
now I have to lock some other role or just deal with boredom
based as fuck, playing Astra was fun as fuck
just make her star recall CD super short and she will be fun again.

Not with that attitude, whats the point in the game then
CanadianLegend [#5]Astra is still can be used pretty well, Example being SugarZero from Zeta

what? whats the point of having the character in the game if its not even viable in ranked play? every character should have its uses, phoenix doesn't.
Kiko [#13]what? whats the point of having the character in the game if its not even viable in ranked play? every character should have its uses, phoenix doesn't.
no. every character does not "need to have its uses". some characters are worse than others and will get played because people like them and how they feel.
there will never be a perfect world where every agent is equally balanced. thinking that chasing this equilibrium is a top priority is dumb when in reality they should focus on making sure there are enough viable options in each category
jett, raze, reyna, neon, yoru are all playable and have their moments. who gives a shit about allocating resources to making the SIXTH DUELIST competitively viable???
people act like you have infinite time and resources to balance agents when in reality you have to make decisions -- phoenix being bad does not negatively impact the game in any shape or form whatsoever
tonyhart7 [#10]Not with that attitude, whats the point in the game then
phoenix being marginally worse than the other 5 duelists literally does not hinder your game experience in any sense whatsoever
there are bigger things to balance more important issues to address than making 1 of the 6 duelists "competitively viable"

no but it does negatively impact the people that like playing phoenix. im sure that there are many players who want phoenix to be good again, including myself. more players than those who wanted yoru to be good, more players than those who want old astra back, etc. and why the hell would valorant devs just make a character, see that he's dogshit, and then leave him like that for months or more? In a game where they want a lot of agents, they should take the time and effort to make each agent at least playable.

Aaahhh yes lets have 2 raze on split and bind
Its icebox ? Lets pick sage and chamber
This game needs more variety, team that compete in tourney has 80% same agent pick on same map
this is braindead take
