Neon will still have 0 pick

I really want to orient this topic about if she will be viable or not instead of asking "Who will be strong on Neon", we aren't even sure she will be picked enough.

So. I'm not 100% sure of the fact Neon will stay bad, but I don't think her change are relevant, I want my duelist to take spaces 1st, not to takes duels, sure she will have more kills thanks to slide, but nerfing her wall and not making her stun better (While the last spell of Raze and jett are literally a Z-axis), will not help her to take spaces, wish mean Jett and Raze will still probably be favored. Sure her ult will be stronger, but do you really think that will be enough to make her viable ? Do you really think her ult is better than Chamber or Jett that can keep their ult all the round ?

Also that raise the question : How do you play Neon in defense ? Thanks to verticalityand mobility, Jett and Raze can take a lot of line that can surprise, and I think Neon can't really do that. Maybe Neon's hope is on operator, I think Neon is a good ope, her moovespeed allow her (in exchange of a small stall) to be sure she can always be in position to take the line before attack push, but i'm not sure if she is used like that, some people gonna argue that she don't have the "free out of jail card" that Chamber and jett have, but retaking with ope is so hard, that be sure you will be always on the site that get push might be strong. (But maybe i'm delu about this.

To conclude, I think she is still weak, but I need more ideas, more point of view to have a better opinion on, this that why i'm really curious, and I would love to hear long paragraph about what you think.

What is your point of view guys ? Do you think she will have play rate ? And if yes, how mush ? Which map do you think she will be played and why ? (Please try to give argument please !)

She's still very good at taking space and is probably better at getting kills while doing it than Jett or raze with the slides buffs. The wall change is more of a side change than a nerf and helps with her teammates scaling (depending on how it's used). I would have liked some different changes to her stun tho, removing one kinda hurts

For defense I assume she would just be the rotator since she has a lot more run and can move fast. She's definitely not a defense agent tho

So you think she will be viable, and her defense issue may be compensated by her being better than Jett and Raze in atk ?

I think she'd be viable on larger maps, like lotus, haven, breeze, etc. where rotating and retaking sites is more common. She's kinda like harbor in being good at retakes, but with not a lot of stopping power. Definitely depends on the team though, I'd say she's still a bit of a niche, but you can definitely make it work on some maps

Its not like the wall and stuns are useless on retakes either. I think she's pretty viable

I mean no disrespect but this looks like a message from someone at the 2nd stage of a dunning Kruger graph

That exactly why I said say my opinion is eager to change and eager to have more argument because I feel I lack of data to have a fully steeled opinion (Kinda funny thats not what someone on the hill of dunning krugger would do, but it's more someone would do in the valley of despair)

But I feel people has just read the title. I literally gave argument of hopes about Neon being strong.

Be real there, in this topic I literally say I'm not sure of anything and I want to hear people different opinion. Thats not stage 2 of Dunning-Kruger.

What is sad is that almost no one gave argument there.

Haven for fast rotation for example.
Kc likes to play agressive and fast so it fits

Is that really long... At the end of wrting I was thinking it's a little bit too short and don't enter enough in detail :x

Sometime I feel it's forbidden to have a construct point of view on this site, only important things are 1 sentences punchline, I hope I'm wrong about that x)
