[Hankoo]

As a viper main who have spent 50hrs in learning lineups

I quit valorant

[amirulzarif]

the removal ability to pick up the smoke back was really really unnecessary

[bnnie]

Next Viper nerf they will break both her legs, so she can walk anymore. The biggest change is not being able to pick the orb again, that will kill this agent.

[CapyVA]

Some dev defo lost to some viper nerd, that's why they nerfing her 20th time in a row

[coldcoke]

what type of spycam makes noise when it is on smh

[tokyo]

Riot: I think Viper is too OP in the 1% Pro scene lets nerf her and give a shit about the 99% players who cannot play double controler properly so viper-singlecontroller mains will now lose to every other single controller.

[Zip-hs]

what the actual FUCK were the devs smoking with the viper snake bite nerf omg

[arrrden]

tbf the cypher cam nerf is just for people that have no ears to hear it open up
skill issue im afraid

[Drby_]

Okay so not being able to pick up the orb is an insanely huge nerf. Painful honestly. And her smokes already felt so damn short. I used to main viper and switched to brim. Now there’s a zero percent chance I ever play her again. Brim is even feeling stronger than her one BREEZE

[Gleemzo]

as a cypher main, i am very sad. But rip to all the viper mains out there.

[LimeSlimeee]

What did that extra 1.5 seconds of the orb ever do to anyone? 😭

[babusseus]

I have to say, the Viper nerfs don't make much sense.

Riot itself has stated that Viper's main strength is the duration and area that she has vision block on. She has infinite fuel as well as a super long wall alongside an orb. There are simply no alternatives to this slow, lurk-like playstyle. Then again, the slow playstyle in pro play is encouraged by the inability to hit sites quickly because of hard stall LIKE Viper and Cypher util. I don't understand how the orb pick-up and the second molly impacted her role on attack.

Also not to mention that Viper has been fine in ranked. I hate it so much that Riot centers agent balance around pro play, when that's only a miniscule fraction of the player base.

[pampom]

bruh the cypher sound cue one is stupid asf. his cam was fine

[pampom]

bro they killed her. I was hoping for some nerf cuz she was very predominant but riot was a greedy monkey again and nerfed every single part of her kit and now we have a chamber 2.0 situation

[yes-npgf]

Next patch brim only have 1 smoke, sage only can heal her self, wingman cant plant or defuse spike, sky flash only 1 bird with short range, they replace practice bot with kayo dan remove kayo as agent protocol.

[koshiro-animation]

It's called Spycam for a reason tho, why they did it?

[Slash]

Bro Viper isn't even that oppressive. They're giving her the Sova treatment back when Fade came out, they're nerfing Viper so people will use Clove more

[dibyajyotidas]

As a jett main I can feel you viper main guys

[Motionkilrr]

Removing Viper molly to 1. Is like removing Sova shock dart to 1. What are we going to do with 1 molly?
And the smoke orb pick up removed was really uncalled for. Her whole kit is knowing how to be stealthy and creative with that 1 orb THAT YOU HAVE TO LITERALLY THROW IN POV MODE vs all the other controllers who have 2+ smokes that you can just spawn in thin air(besides harbor). That’s what made her special. And riot just said “Nope. We don’t like that.”

[huzaifahbardien]

1 damn molly thats crazy they already nerfed her smokes but the molly nerf was un called for like wtf riot games is cooked
