Neon

Can someone explain me why people are spamming "Nerf Neon" everywhere. Like I mean ok She has 100% accuracy on slide. I mean Jett also has that dash as escape tool to escape from any situation. Aren't people bored of watching Jett and raze on all maps.

I mean now duelist class is diversified
Raze got Bind , Split and Fracture has her main maps
Jett has Ascent , Abys and Icebox as her Main maps
Neon has Haven , Sunset as Her main maps

It's just that Reyna Is only a Ranked agent and they literally made Iso God agent for 1 week and then needed him to ground. Yoru is tricky as It is very hard to master and it's hard to control TP.

A character that can run fast into site, take space and fast rotate was what they tried to make

A character that is Neo is what we got

personally i think the ult is the main issue and not the slide accuracy, also reducing the number of slides to 1 would be good

Jett doesn't "dash and kill"
Raze doesn't "satchel and kill"

it defeats the fundamental idea of having to stay still and shoot. Even jett needs that and it's more just neon can run and hit anyone at anytime

Yaa But Jett can Peak in 4 people Kill and Dad out to safety. Raze ca Take Space very aggressively. Every agent has some pros and cons what's the point of having Similar agents.

Still requires skills

I mean I get the idea of Moving while shooting but Nen was literally in dumpster before this buff and I felt the slide was useless Before this buff. I mean give 1 useful use of slide before this buff

take space with her run, her stun.
jett and neon can kill once they stopped. but not neon

Stupid fuck character, Broke the game fundamentals she can literally consistently kill people without them able to fight back with her slide and she has 2 slides so the complains are reasonable

Yaa I mean ULt is meant to melt people down but yaa Ult is quite op Getting this full energy recharged after kill is insane. Maybe going back to ult neon has when she got release could be better

Dash and satchel still have to took a fairly aim fight

jett and neon can kill once they stopped. but not neon

So they reduced stuns to 1 charge anyways. Earlier sehad 2 stuns. And Every agent has some pros and cons Man.

So in neon it's not like u slie and shoot in air and the bullet hits enemy's Head.

Jett and satchel approaching you and what ? If you have a better mechanic you can just kill them
But neon sliding tooward u and instantly 1tapped you and what can u do ?

agreed, the slide is op but it makes neon good, the ult however just shouldn't be in this game, revert the movement speed buff while going sideways

the slide fundamentally should be use to take space, messing with crosshair while the teammate behind chase down the person who got thrown off. This is the intend use rather than move and kill. 2 slides in the current way is a bit dumb.

The other problem is rito mess with her kit fairly badly. Jett is a duelist/controller combo with her smoke. Neon will have potential given her wall but the last util is a stun which is more of an initiator material. If they make her kit fully one side, it would be a lot better. Agents with a full subtype utility kit is always better than a do all but not good enough I.e. phoneix

She was never in the dumpster when it came to professional play though.
She had her place, i.e. fracture and pearl which were by far her best maps, and she ended up becoming meta on them during 2023.
the removal of those two maps from the map pool, is what dumpstered her. That as she wasn't more useful to the game than a Jett, or pre nerf raze.
Now after her buff, you see her on everymap but split, bind, and abyss. Two of those maps being the only maps being Raze meta maps. The last being a Jett map.

Look at it this way Pearl and Fracture were a perfect example in 2023 on how Neon was a good agent
Instead of making her slide making haven a pretty much perma pick for her, given the astuns clearing pretty much all of garage, and the slides clearing any side tight corners with full accuracy.
Pearl she was always a secondary duelist pick, given she worked well in cohesion with an oping Jett.
Sunset the fast rotates, sharp corners into sites, and narrow corridors makes her stuns, sprint and slide all too oppressive.

yea that would be a perfect nerf ngl but riot will prolly demolish the agent

yeah :(

No, the slide is one of the most braindead abilities in the game. I right click to slide, left click to shoot... somehow I killed someone
