Deadlock Thoughts

I think she is a very Weak agent compared to other Sentinal (especially Killjoy) . Her Trap (q ability) is Literally trash. It can be easily dodged also it makes a lot of sound (Same as Chamber Trap) and knowing u can walk pass it is becomes useless. Her Nade is like Fade Q ability and It can be easily dodged too. And her Signature ability makes no sense.
Tell me 1 good use of her E ability

And Her ultimate can literally be dodged by strafing

wait for her to come out before making assumptions

you are correct, Killjoy is the queen.

true but shes pretty :3

I like the idea behind her kit but I agree, shes very weak rn

she can be viable with a buff to her trap so you cant dodge the stun that easily, and maybe her wall becoming rechargable

mid

she is very good for teams that like making trap-plays

hot

She will be way better then Cypher, Chamber and Sage tho personally...

Her trap is overlooked let me tell u her trap might be the best trap in the game on defence side it has a big radius and every map has places where people are expected to make noises for example ascent a door and b drop or switch, also no enemy shift walks on attack during a execute

her e is good it can create blockages also u can put it in spike to stall crazy amount of time....
imagine defending b bombsite on ascent and using her e ability to block the lane they will either be forced to come from stairs or break the wall which takes time..

GravNet is like fade teather if used w other abilities in the games it will be too good

Also her ulti is like Raze ulti it wont gurantee a kill oth it would op ofc but it can in some occasions but it is hard to land and if u land it most of the time its an ez kill cuz it pulls enemy towards u as well

Recent Valorant Agents are pretty mid I think she might be better then Gekko and Harbor

Doesnt seem promising but we all saw what happed to harbour...

also KJ is pretty balanced other sentinels are dogshit weak

She's the most "Sentinel" sentinel we've had.
Her trips are not for flank watching but rather for shutting down execs. Especially under hookah on bind.
Definitely not as good in low elo where people don't communicate or use their util together.
Her Q is as you said basically a fade seize so paired with Raze nade, brim ult is the way.
As for her E, it definitely is useful. You'd use it to lockdown places where they're NOT coming from and commit to the fights where they execute from using your trips. It has insane delay potential especially for flankers or solo lurkers as it takes a lot of bullets to get it.
A good E will require atleast 2 orbs to be broken or the central part (which btw requires 2 raze grenades/ 2 brim ults to break)
Her ult is similar to Neon stun in the sense of how it bounces off. You can get very creative with it. Especially pairing her gravnet with it

wait for prx to play that mommy cuz she surely stacked on attack side
