When Valkyrie was first introduced to Apex Legends back in Season 9, she had the typical burst in popularity, but quickly fell away in terms of usage. However, over the last few seasons, the Winged Avenger has become an integral part of the meta. Whether you\u2019re playing games yourself in casual or Ranked, or watching the pros compete in the ALGS, you\u2019re going to see many trios running Valk because of how she allows them to get out of dodge and rotate positions easily. That ability to rotate quickly comes thanks to her Skyward Dive ultimate, which also allows her to see enemy positions \u2013 provided they\u2019re in her line of sight. While players have called for Valk to get an overall nerf over the last few seasons, they\u2019re really honing in on her Ultimate this time around. On June 18, Redditor Barneyfnaf reignited calls for a Valkyrie nerf, claiming that she has become too \u201cOP\u201d and is making the battle royale \u201ccompletely unfun\u201d given how easily she can run away and get information. \u201cWhy is a legend able to stun enemies behind cover, push on them in the air, and then leave a location on a free, super-fast jump tower that scans where people are,\u201d they said, with plenty of players quickly agreeing and urging Respawn to take her under the knife with some changes \u2013 especially to the cooldown time on her dive. \u201cHer ult needs a cooldown nerf desperately tbh,\u201d agreed one fan. \u201cThey should give her the longest ult cooldown in the game. Everything else seems fine in my opinion,\u201d added another. \u201cI think the best thing they could do is increase the cooldown of her ult to somewhere between 4-5 mins. And remove her ability to scan beacons,\u201d commented another. While some players want to see her changed, they don\u2019t want Respawn to go overboard and turn her into an \u201cunfun\u201d legend that is useless within the game. It remains to be seen if Respawn will take the communities feedback on board and take a look at tweaking Valkyrie in some way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends players demand nerfs for \u201cOP\u201d Valkyrie ultimate Respawn\/EAApex Legends players are calling on Respawn Entertainment to nerf Valkyrie, well, her ultimate at least as they believe it is far too \u201cOP\u201d when stacked up against others.
