ImperialHal slams \u201cbraindead\u201d Valkyrie nerf in Apex Legends competitive Respawn Entertainment\/Twitch: ImperialHalTSM pro Philip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen has criticized the \u201cbraindead\u201d nerf to Valkyrie\u2019s Ultimate that only applies in Apex Legends competitive. Since her arrival in Outlands, Valkyrie has been one of the strongest characters on the Apex Legends roster. This is particularly true in competitive, where the Winged Avenger\u2019s crowd control Tactical, incredible mobility, and unmatched rotations from her Ultimate are all invaluable. As you would expect, this has made her a top-tier pick in the ALGS. Noticing this, Respawn decided to implement an indirect nerf to Valkyrie with the Spellbound Collection event that only affects pros. The change stops players from using emotes while in the air that were previously used to help dodge bullets. Well, ImperialHal isn\u2019t happy about the nerf, describing it as \u201cbraindead\u201d and he\u2019s concerned it\u2019s going to make it too easy to shoot enemies rotating around the map. ImperialHal slams secret Valkyrie ALGS nerf in Apex Legends On January 10, Respawn implemented a small change to the tournament settings that affects the ALGS. One of them included \u201cno emoting while in the air\u201d during competitive play. While at a glance this seems insignificant, it\u2019s actually a secret nerf to Valkyrie as pros often use emotes while rotating with her Ultimate to make it harder for foes on the ground to shoot them. Now, teams using Skyward Dive are going to be a lot more exposed to gunfire and it may even be possible to beam enemies straight out of the sky. Reacting to the news on stream, ImperialHal claims the change is \u201cbraindead\u201d and will result in teams getting \u201cone-clipped out of the air\u201d with no counterplay. Topic starts at 0:25 Explaining to his viewers that hitting shots on opponents mid-air is easier on LAN, Hal is convinced that using a Valk Ultimate in competitive from now is a death sentence. Either way, we\u2019ll have to wait and see whether this indirect nerf will reduce the amount of Winged Avengers in the ALGS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
