What the FUCK riot?
What was the point of buffing neon if you’re just going to make her worse than she was before the buff?
There is now 0 reason to play Neon unless you’re shotgun only.
Getting killed by the slide went from
“damn, this kid grinds aimlabs like a bitch”
to
“lucky ass shot what the fuck?”
Now it’s just going to be boring Raze/Jett meta. I hope they at least consider reverting the accuracy nerf in exchange for a slide speed nerf because making Neon have one slide and worse accuracy pre-buff just makes no sense. They wanted to make Neon more ground-based and then proceeded to not change the bhop spam at all and made her worse in every way, which means people will see more bhop than they did before, going against the original intention behind the nerf.
Hopefully they revert the accuracy nerf, if they don’t the agent diversity that is currently in the meta will vanish because Neon will vanish.
TL:DR
Riot fucked up and overnerfed Neon, jeopardizing the entire meta by making her slide luck based.
