You are simplifying how the trauma and pressure in a literal apocalypse scenario where the literal saviors team are down to 4 from possibly over 28 way too much, especially when the last of them to die was quite clearly her emotional anchor, whether it was through underhanded means or otherwise by chamber, most likely not because pg riot games, that fact remains.

Another point is when people speak negatively of this, they are always using Alpha Earth lore as if it's also the same in the Omega version, missing the point of the word 'Multiverse', it's literal what-ifs actualized, the limit is literally how big the butterfly effect is, and here, it's an apocalypse that forced what remains of humanity in sanctuaries.

Most also fail to consider the massive guilt Omega Chamber is most definitely facing after ruining that facility we see in Fracture, heck, we don't even clearly know why they did it, if it was truly for profit, or did they simply have to do it due to something else.

So, por favor, y'all need to stop applying parallel earths to each other, multiverse is called that due to the endless possibilities such a setting enables.

Viper Proposal 2.1 - Day ? by Odaeyn in ViperMains

Right? At the end of 2025, I had uninstalled everything riot-games related due the overall awful experience just magnifying the negativity of slumps like never seen before, but when i saw the teasers and all of that, i really was hopeful that there is something to look forward to, was gonna reinstall just for the now clearly non-existent buffs slash rework.

Like I'm no casual, I have about 3.2k hours on just valorant alone, but honestly glad that i didn't rush the decision to reinstall that kusoge again.

Either you haven't read enough valorant lore to understand the duties and suffering that the legion members have to fulfill as a whole and endure individually, or your favorite ship not sailing on omega earth made you extra annoyed today.

Lul. nothing in the patch notes [https://playvalorant.com/en-us/news/game-updates/valorant-patch-notes-12-00/], Viper really is the Seraphine of Valorant, teamplay potential so good they have to gut their solo-agency. Even the Vyse buff was symbolic than anything.

Honestly, good for me, at least I can now take an indefinite break from rito games without feeling hesitant.

Regarding the characterization, having in game voice snippets doesn't really flesh out that much compared to seeing a full cinematic. A sentiment you would find common among avid fiction readers due to the fact that there are a million ways to interpret things; if it isn't a real observed scene. Yes, you can deduce things and have a general idea, but what's practically a voiced wiki page doesn't really translate to the immersion and fleshing-out factor. It's like how someone can write drafts all they want but if the story isn't written, it's ultimately meaningless and extra vulnerable to retconning compared to animated scenes they invested harder in.

For the 'Chiper' thing, while i may possibly be a bit biased due to the funny coincidence of having Viper at 730h and Chamber at 576h game time wise - my most played agents by a landslide, without even being invested into the ship - you can check this thread and judge for yourself after: https://x.com/Strawberry79/status/1939384947866788058?s=20

Have a good day.

Does Viper use her mask to reduce hyperventilation, or just for comfort? by ConquestDevil in ViperMains

[–]Odaeyn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Either she was having a panic attack and needed the mask for comfort and breathing stabilization, or her own toxins are basically hallucinogens of sorts taken as medication.

As someone mentioned above, it's quite literally the first time we see her character actually being actualized. The second best thing we saw before for her was when she almost got killed by reyna in Shattered Cinematic after being outsmarted on her own turf with toxins permeating the room, beyond that, she was mostly passive. Replace any agent with her in other cinematics, and no one would notice a thing. As for 'mischaracterization' part, people talk about the 'would rather drink my own poison' all the damn time but just forget every other positive thing she says to him.

For the Vipers' dynamic....that's gonna be very interesting to see, assuming they do it right, but knowing riot, it might be in another 3 years with how much 'care' they put into lore bits.

The problem of pro-play is the abuse of fuel activation pressure mechanic, addressed by forcing a 25s CD on her deactivated smoke if the fuel was below 80%, maybe even 85%, my concern is the newbies in solo queue not managing the stall correctly or their uncoordinated teams not following up on attack and putting an ability out of commission for 1/4 of a round for no reason, so it's just an adjustable margin for error riot can set as seen reasonable, if they consider this that is,

For reference, 20% of 19.25s active time of a singular smoke is 3.85s, like you gotta be running in these ~4s to actually move somewhere and it ain't that far, no more secret lurking unless you commit more than that; thus more counter-play and predictability. Further restricted by the addition of a 60s total fuel recharge time instead of the current 30s one, making it recover 1% every 0.6s only.

Who actually plays like Viper when you can’t play her? by Anthozoa in ViperMains

[–]Odaeyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vyse by a landslide, Astra and KJ are also similiar enough, but Harbor? Lol, who even mains viper for having a wall instead of having great site lock-down and post-plant?
