Gekko flash | VLR.gg

Everyone talking about Wingman but what do you guys think about the Flash.

Advantages I can see:
-Blinds you if you turn around
-Doesn't blind yourself
-Spots where the enemies are when you peek or just can be used as sort of an spotter.
-You can literally use it a thousand times, specially on attack as you push

Downsides:
-Doesn't last too long
-You can see the edges of the screen
-Can be shot (Even though does disrupt crosshair placement if thrown right )

Is it me or it's one of the strongest flashes?

i think its better for info than a flash.
the flash effect is pretty weak.
much better on atk than defense due to it being easy to take space and reuse

I think It will be good if you sova/fade throws a recon at the same time.

i dont think a sova/fade is needed.
it already gives audio feedback to tell you if someone is there.
maybe a proper flash like breach could then be used to take the space.

I just think it's great for taking zones as when you throw it to clear something it directs you to where the enemies are, they can't look but you can because it doesn't blind you. Plus you can do it over walls etc

gekko overhyped. all his pokemon are 1 tapable. They had to makes skye flash unbreakable for a reason. He'll be an ok agent but everyone thinks the he'll be gamebreaking

His abilities to mess up crosshair placement is underrated imo. All of his utils literally works this way

And that's why I said he'll still be okay but that's the only thing he's got going for him. Wingman most overhyped thing I've ever seen. Go ahead send him into site to plant, kj molly sova shock viper molly and bullets is all the poor thing is gonna see. and now you just gave the defenders the bomb... gg. Gekko will excel in retakes and 1v1's/1v2's (and that's if ur last alive), everything else you won't see any high impact. He's gonna be too conditional basically

I don't think the point of wingman is sending him to a site you have not taken. It's more like having an extra weapon in an already conquered site + clutches

you can use him to gain momentum, for example let wingman plant the bomb while you and your team advance to take up more space and set some traps/angles

gekko sidekick is immune to so many abilities, could be slightly better than what most people think, look at this thread! it literally breaks sage wall for you and doesn’t get tagged by kayo knife or kj turret!

That seems very good but still I wouldn't trust it 100%. If some mechanics don't make sense they could still be bugs or something. Does look great tho, it's gonna be harder than expect it

The time that takes you to check the map and aim is about the same one as the flash lasts so I don't think it really matters
