ive started to play her more in ranked and holy shes insane. not broken though as ive been getting countered easily on maps like sunset. when you know how to play her though shes so fun especially when you're having a good game. you just slide 1 tap and make them tilt. dont think shes needs a nerf. the only nerf i think would be good is to her ult as thats broken asf.

doesn't need a nerf. Needs to be deleted from the game and the designer thrown into jail.
Actually the most braindead agent of all time imagine thinking a run and gun character belongs in a tac fps.
Neon makes a bad micro-decision and gets stuck in a corner where anybody else would be held and die from util or traded? nope. Slide shoot out untradeably because you can't track in this game. There's a reason all my silver irls love playing neon when they're -20 on any other agent.
No i just hate that make-a-wish ass agent that rewards trashcans. I'll give you an example.
I have an irl friend named suzy who's silver. Actual silver. She has been hardstuck silver for months, and it took her a year to get out of bronze. She literally gets scared and freaks out when there are people on her screen. She only plays 3 agents, skye (always flashes us when we're on her team lmao), sage, and Neon. We played a 10 man custom amongst our mutual friend group a week ago where the average rank on each team is like high diamond. A couple ascendants, plats, and 1 imm on each team, with her as the exception. Even though we play them for fun we take the games fairly seriously.
We tell her to buy a judge or spectre (she can't aim well even with phantom) every round and just run at them. By halftime she's topfrag 15/8, by the end of game she's 21/18 and top 3 in the lobby.
What a shitter ass comment. The best aimers in the world are still at a disadvantage against a sliding neon because of the way guns work in the game. If you don't first bullet headshot them a sliding neon with a phantom is gonna spray you down 10/10 times.
And once you get out of gold you might realize that people know how to counter cypher trips
Wait till you find out that Neon is a meta pick on the best cypher map in the game
Low pickrate in T1? This isn't Chamber metas he doesn't have to be picked on every map to be OP. And winrate doesn't matter every character is almost by definition gonna have a near 50% winrate, thats how averages work - unless you're genuinely trolling and picking phoenix or something.
She's OP because her fundamental game mechanic is stupid and allows bad players to play above their level - because she can just jump around and backwards slide spray shoot or jump in your face with a judge and there's little to nothing anybody can do to punish it because there is no hitscan tracking in Val. That's why she's a dumbass agent that trashcans love, because they don't have to be good at the game to get value out of her.
Now that the serious comment is out of the way

YOU ARE FUCKING DOGSHIT LMAO YOU'VE NEVER EVEN HIT IMMORTAL
YOUR LAST GAME YOU WERE 1-13 28 ACS
CLASSIC ASCENDANT EGO SYNDROME I CAN'T LMAOOOOOO
it's not like riot can't delete agents. If you are not having a good day, then don't solo queue. That was ur first mistake, leaving u even more pissed when someone better than u can actually shoot back and use their good mechanics as an advantage
you just made an irrelevant and braindead argument, case closed
Who said this had anything to do with my ranked games(i've been carried by a neon more recently than i've faced one btw)?
Neon is literally designed to run and gun which is stupid asf. It was the intention of the game designers when they changed the sliding accuracy. And the bar recharges he could run around like that basically half the round, while the other movement agents (jett,raze) need to be smart about it.
Remember Jawgemo's mid-air Flying Vandal Kill on Fracture vs Fnatic? Imagine the game designers made it so the raze bullets are as accurate mid air for raze as neon's is while sliding. Now imagine Raze could satchel around most of the round going for those types of kills on people. Sound like retarded bullshit? Connect the dots
depends how they do it, i'm sure they have alot of creative people working there that can find a balanced solution
My Solution: Bar doesn't recharge (maybe unless you get kills) and you can't backwards slide
This way you can still do the normal explosive stuff on execs but you can't just be braindead jumping around all round and you can't just outrotate everyone by running back and forth between sites a million times on defense. Forces you to be smart about your movement util like jett dash or raze satchels.
Would be so much more tolerable than what it is now
Because I often play on the hongkong server, I have to say that the neon players I have met in Southeast Asia are very different and difficult to describe, but they are all full of passion(and a litte braindead just joking).they always use shortgun,like bucky win some crazy full buy round.it's really hard to nerf neon,because i think neon's op based on meta,the two ini meta,like brench's stun,neon can do re-attack or re-entry not like raze and jett,sometime you have to walk in site,neon can always prove a big angle for enemy.
I do feel like she's the new reyna, if your aim is not solid then in pleb ranked elo you are going to get dunked on. But then again even in pro players' streams I can still see the occasional bs sliding bucky and stuff. It's so bipolar that if you play to here strengths you can dominate, otherwise you are a bot being farmed.... I just hate how riot decides balancing
