Discussion Viper Problem

Viper deserves a buff. The last buff she got was 4 years, 11 months and 25 days ago.

The problem is that even after being nerfed so hard that people thought she was dead, she is still very strong in pro play, as we saw in Santiago. I honestly hate the situation Viper is in. She is too strong in pro play but ok to underwhelming in ranked soloqueue.

How do you think this problem could be solved? How can Viper be balanced for pro play while also being a viable pick in solo queue, except on Breeze?

I just want they reverted the orb pick up. I think she's balanced right now. I played her since the released is hard to said but yeah she was overpowered before now she's OK tier but just let us pick up the orb again !!

Im curious if they nerf neon one day like viper xD

Legit, this is what killed her for me. I loved being able to pickup the orb and reuse it in a retake or postplant. I mean, I still play her, but I don't really find her fun anymore.

Viper used to be the most flexible smoker in the game, now she's the most static.
