can someone explain the neon nerfs?

from what I can tell they're gonna remove 2 slides and make it 1 slide, they're gonna nerf the accuracy of the slides and make it the same as crouch accuracy

they're gonna nerf the ult time AND increase ult cost?

isn't this an insane nerf? like this neon is just as bad as pre-buff if not worse

crazy how they made her worse than before, they should have reverted the slide accuracy and kept it at one slide but two stuns so u can have one for preplanned executes and another for reactive plays

The crouch accuracy is a tough one, but for someone to be moving full-speed and hit you 100% was pretty broken. Now it will make players have to shoot at the end of the slide rather than mid-slide when enemies will still have to track.
1 slide instead of 2 is understandable given that people doing the slide-tech to style on people was infuriating to track and made her like a Jett on steroids. She still can get her slide back after 2 kills and she gets a free slide during her ult so there is opportunity for the slide-tech.
8 points for her ult which is an aimbot beam which she can slide with and still get a refresh for is fair. It's a very strong ult in the hands of a capable player.
The timer is another fair one because the ult feels almost endless especially if it's a player tearing through the team and getting refreshes after every kill.
She still has a very fast energy regain which is better than Neon pre-buff.

Honestly, she's fine. This all might mean that Jett and Raze are now gonna be the 2 main duelists picked in pro-play, but this will balance out the overachievement of ranked players abusing Neon with less skill needed than Jett or other duelists/agents. Personally she is still better than pre-buff Neon given that she still slowed down when strafing side to side and her energy recharge was a lot slower.

jett needed and still needs less skill than neon though lol, 0 skill players holding an off angle with op and dash away giving you no chance to trade her

Completely different story compared to a Neon sliding and running around you at top-speed with a BUCKY (an eco weapon) or a JUDGE. An op-crutching Jett holding an off angle can be combated with a flash and/or initiator. The only way you combat a Neon moving like it's Apex legends is if you use a shotgun of your own or you bait your teammates - and that's for the best case scenario. Average case is you got to hope you can out-manoeuvre the Neon which is impossible to predict perfectly or in a trained way.

i get neon is annoying to play against are we lying to ourselves now she got nerfed we don't need to be this dumb anymore neon has always taken more skill than jett what are we talking about ability for ability neon requires more skill
jett smoke>=neon walls(i would say it takes more skill since neon throwing a good wall that doesn't fuck over her own team is harder but i wont)
neon slide and run>>>jett dash and updraft jett's dash and updraft require 15mins< to understand neon requires you to practice her entry pathing and techs so you can entry and not look dumb(icebox pathing for example) let alone all the other shit her movement has a higher celling
stun you need to practice this if u wing it you will stun your own team
ult for ult neon requires GOOD tracking which is a skill you need to learn that no other agent needs and jett has a vandal she can jump with
and jett is 1 of 2 agents that can awp (neon can do it but it is meh just like raze/yoru)

to kill people while sliding you still need good tracking and aim

jett can just hold an angle while sitting and completely get away with getting 1, and dashing into your own smoke also doesnt require any skill but for making neon work as an entry you still needed to move good

they shouldve simply gave her one slide only, removed the speed boost while moving side to side and raise ult cost
the 100% accuracy, even tho its bullshit, should lowkey stay

Imo the good thing about the nerf is that they at least informed players before the initial announce to the public

Thats why I wanted to revert the nerf and just change her stun to something more strong (Zaxis spell), a nerf making her even more worse than before her up is mental
