The VALORANT community loves coming up with creative ideas for buffing and nerfing agent abilities. One Reddit user started a fun post asking for suggestions to buff their favorite agent, but with the twist that the first person to reply must suggest a nerf to balance it out.
Some of the suggestions were downright hilarious, like one user suggesting that Kayo takes off his pants, and another suggesting that Kayo flashes everyone on his team with his robotic schlong as the nerf. These suggestions received a lot of likes and laughs from the community.
There were also some more serious suggestions, like one player wanting Cypher’s camera dart to deal damage and explode like Raze’s ult. Another player suggested that Deadlock’s Sound Sensor should detect enemy comms. While no one suggested a nerf for Deadlock’s ability, some players commented that she needs a buff since she has a low pick rate.
One player suggested that Yoru’s clone should teleport instead of Yoru when using fake tp, and suggested reducing the clone’s flash time as a nerf. Another player suggested giving KAY/O’s knife the ability to reveal suppressed enemies’ locations, similar to Sova’s Recon Bolt, but with a slower activation and recharge time to balance it out.
Overall, this Reddit thread is a fun and creative way for the community to share their ideas for agent buffs and nerfs, and Riot might find some inspiration for future reworks from these suggestions.
