They are high chance that they mess up first try but let’s look at how it works : they released the outlaw a new gun in a 3 yo fps game, no balance change yet, which means it’s pretty good placing, the shield is different because it can impact way easier an economy therefore have more impact but it’s the job of the community to be able to give constructive feedback to help the developers release long term solutions
Tldr : let’s not whine about a new shield and be happy we are getting new meta changing feature every once in a while

They were nerfed though. The time that the flash is active for has been cut down and wingman concuss range isnt that big of a deal. And picking them up takes longer. This is a nerf in my eyes.

For those confused with the Gekko changes... I saw them as a nerf overall.

The dizzy flash now hits more reliably (whatever that means) and now affects the minimap (which makes it work more like a normal flash) -- these would be buffs with no other changes, but the .5s active time might be big. It'll be a lot easier to avoid it without having to shoot it, given how short that time was anyway (literally a 33% decrease).

The wingman cone is a buff but we know that concusses only work like 40% of the time anyway so whatever. Not sure what the visual thing is

The thrash orb increase is obviously a nerf. I always felt it was incredibly easy for a solid Gekko to farm ult so this will at least slow them down.

The pickup time nerfs are probably the biggest thing. Not only does it take Gekko longer to pick up his critters, but now they simply don't last as long on the ground. That'll make it easier to punish a Gekko that throws util like candy because there's less time to pick stuff up and also you're vulnerable while picking up for longer.

It's definitely not a giganerf like when they sent chamber to the farm, but I think this is one of those "wait until we see if it actually changes anything" changes.

I think the flash hitting more reliably just means you can't sidestep it as easily. Combined with the wingman stun being wider, it seems like they wanted to minimize the amount of times you hear them activate but then not actually hit

The pickup nerfs and 8 point ult are honestly huge

That's what I was assuming as well. This would make them more quality-of-life changes than actual buffs, since they're changing stuff so the sound cues do their actual job lmao

Me too man he's so exciting in pro play and I farm in ranked with him but it's annoying getting teammates doubting you from the start.

The Phoenix changes make me think they're really buffing high tide too. Hopefully he gets multiple charges or something

Isn't this more of a nerf? considering the regen shield doesn't affect the health

Gekko nerfs are really big. 33% uptime reduction on flash and globule nerf were unnecessary. People were mostly complaining about the Wingman and Thrash. Felt like he got nerfed too heavily.

Regen shield? I assume this is just phoenix being able to heal while not having to stand in his util, to make him a more viable duelist and not have to chill in the backline while healing

If the regen shield is something you can buy then it will just promote taking a pick and playing super passive afterwards
