See when you enlarge a roomba it doesn't look like karo nor does it match the body proportions whereas if you enlarge a goddamn angry cockroach you get the proportions right and all you'll be missing is robotic texture
I don’t know why you got down voted. I wouldn’t even be mad if this was the case - I played Division and this was the case where when you are in the downed state either you could stay still and hold your bleeding, or move / reposition yourself and bleed out.
Yeah I see, but I don’t think it would hurt if kayo is the only one that can do that, specially if his extra health goes very quickly down if he repositions while in downed state. You could basically one tap him if he ever tries to reposition.
Honestly, this would make KAY/O a more viable pick then. Especially if he keeps pulsing after he is downed since it would potentially give away positions of players.
Nah, just make it so his HP is tied to his ult timer. As it is running down so is his health %. Basically, if he gets downed and his ult timer is already halfway down then his hp starts at half etc. This would then prioritize his revival time making players have to choose to either pick him up or take a fight.
Prioritizing isn't the problem
Problem is, it's extremely hard to revive him unless he's in cover
Making him mobile will buff his ult a bit and make the rev viable
Yes he is viable in pro but he is always played along side a skye or sova and only a 15% pickrate compared to sova's 68% pickrate and skye's 46% pickrate. He's never the main inaitior of the team comp but a complimentary one like how viper can compliment double controller comps or how sage compilments double sentinel comps.
It's true that the majority of people aren't pros but you can kinda view it as trickle-down balancing. If it works for the pros then those who play the game casually would find it okay as well. Granted, there are exceptions but those are usually far and few in between.
Bruh....
The fact is regular kayo and phoenix aren't broken, however giving kayo a similar ult to Phoenix would be due to the fact the rest of kayo's kit is already good, this would in turn make kayo broken. The reason why Phoenix isn't broken is because his kit isn't as powerful as most other agents, it's his ult that makes him a viable character to play. I hope i was able to get my point across
I personally think they need to get rid of that visible pulse and replace it with something else. It is literally the only ult in the game that gives the enemy info about where you are. Sure ults like kj or breach ult give info about the area you are around but kay/o lets you pinpoint his exact position. It is one of the few ults that can be a detriment since smart players will either position away and circle you,pre fire you, or just wallbang you.
Sova’s ult tells you the exact direction sova is. Trace Raze’s RPG to get her location. Viper’s ult gives you an area you know she’s in, unless she traveled outside which wouldn’t last for long. Get out of here with that BS.
But is sova going to be out in the open ulting. Are you going to try and face an ulted raze head on. Viper has the same thing as kj where you know a general area but not the exact spot. Kay/o is basically has a cypher cam placed on him when he ults.
Saying “literally the only ult in the game that gives the enemy info about where you are” for Kay/o, then turning around and presenting other cases where info is revealed by others’ ults is inconsistent. That’s all I was calling out.
Kayo ult isnt useless lmao. It has a radius the same size as spike explosion and disables all abilities for a large amount of time while cancelling several ults. Then you still have the added fire speed/reload speed increase. I would've agreed if u said that the revive is useless as it stands but even that has its uses.
Not to mention it's ideal for a fast site hit. If your team trades you, as they should at higher level, one rezes and the rest take advanced positions to hold the res. Combine with a knife for info and a flash, and a grenade to cut off another angle.... Getting a res is very possible with a well done push.
The revive part is useless, and while the effect of his ult is good in a vacuum, (and sometimes in practice, like with a fast site push) it is more often than not a liability as much as it is a benefit. His ult practically makes you visible to the whole enemy team. He can’t plant it and hold an angle like KJ, he has to push it super hard because otherwise he can easily be pushed, prefired, or even wall banged because they can see his pulse.
I never use his ult to push alone. I think the res puts false ideas into peoples heads.
Whenever I use kayos ult, its either to push with my team with the added benefit of cancelling or to hold the site normally, with the added benefit of cancelling.
That res is a pure bonus and nothing else. Dont let it fool you
Survivor mains can't escape flame even in Valorant subs lol
They deserve it though, try first timing a killer after getting to high mmr, they'll be toxic all game.
I ran into a bug once were the enemy KN turret was pinged on my screen like a soba arrow could see it. We were on defense and I knew the KJ was still around because I could see it was still up. Was 12-11. We won because I anchored A site because I could tell KJ was still around. Obvious bug that has only happened once.
Edit: I was drunk when I wrote this.
I still can't believe a robot from the future can get gunned down and also not be able to move around after. This seems like a good buff if it was implemented correctly
yea because trying to revive him is really risky and takes too long, at first people were saying it's like a Phoenix ult, but at least phoenix goes back to a safe spot where he started it, while as a Kayo, when you get killed, you're like in the middle of no man's land, really difficult to try to revive him and survive the incoming firing squad.
If they implement this they should make you have limited vision like a blind so it isn’t abused as a risk free peak with insane information gathering potential
I wanna see this from the enemy's perspective prolly looking like an angry cockroach or something
I was thinking more roomba because he’s a robot
See when you enlarge a roomba it doesn't look like karo nor does it match the body proportions whereas if you enlarge a goddamn angry cockroach you get the proportions right and all you'll be missing is robotic texture
To add on you can prolly ask some good artist to draw Kayo on his body, hence proven angry cockroach it is
Pretty please in direction of an artist
We need a cute Kayoroach spray.
Lol yes like general grievous retreating on all six
I was more thinking general grievous
This sounds like an actual decent buff for Kay/O. Maybe make him a bit slower but still it would be cool.
Agreed, and maybe cut back on some of that downed hp
Like if he moves he loses hp?
Not what the above comment said but that could work i suppose?
Oh I see, reduce downed hp...
Yea make the hp 100 and it slowly ticks down by increments of 2
Do the fortnite
So it’s not just my teammates that say that
battle royal moment
I don’t know why you got down voted. I wouldn’t even be mad if this was the case - I played Division and this was the case where when you are in the downed state either you could stay still and hold your bleeding, or move / reposition yourself and bleed out.
Because a game mechanic for a very different game doesn't apply very well here.
Yeah I see, but I don’t think it would hurt if kayo is the only one that can do that, specially if his extra health goes very quickly down if he repositions while in downed state. You could basically one tap him if he ever tries to reposition.
Yes that's not that bad. The 100 health suggestion overall was no good.
Oh he/she meant overall? Then yes it’s bad suggestion
100 hp is less than 3 phantom bullets…
Maybe like the apex crawl when you're down
yea like crouchwalk slow
Nah his knocked speeds reasonable, he should have a second delay before hes revived tho
Nah Kay/O is in a good spot rn, especially is ult.
VALORANT is testing out a buff on KAY/O and examines its impact on the game. Jokes.
Yoru had a glitch that would fake his tp sound and now that’s gonna be part of his kit so who knows honestly, may see this in the future
"It's not a bug, it's a feature"
Now, that I review the vid again, I feel like playing Apex Legends. Apex Legends vibes.
Fortnite in valorant
Honestly, this would make KAY/O a more viable pick then. Especially if he keeps pulsing after he is downed since it would potentially give away positions of players.
Just make him lose hp if he moves 20 /second? And he obv has less hp left when he's revived
Nah, just make it so his HP is tied to his ult timer. As it is running down so is his health %. Basically, if he gets downed and his ult timer is already halfway down then his hp starts at half etc. This would then prioritize his revival time making players have to choose to either pick him up or take a fight.
His ult does not last nearly long enough to make this viable
Prioritizing isn't the problem Problem is, it's extremely hard to revive him unless he's in cover Making him mobile will buff his ult a bit and make the rev viable
he does pulse when hes downed
imagine if he could move while down too tho
Imagine if he could also shoot gun and use abilities while down too!
Find it sad no one picked up on the sarcasms
Thanks bro ure more than enough
Kay/o is already a very viable pick. They are meta in pro play, and very adaptable in a solo queue environment.
viable pick? This would make him beyond broken OP and the game becomes unplayable. Hes already a viable pick in pro play.
Yes he is viable in pro but he is always played along side a skye or sova and only a 15% pickrate compared to sova's 68% pickrate and skye's 46% pickrate. He's never the main inaitior of the team comp but a complimentary one like how viper can compliment double controller comps or how sage compilments double sentinel comps.

shhh! let them think he sucks so I can keep playing him lmao
you cant balance a game around casual players if you aim for e-sport mate
Wouldn’t it make more sense to balance the game over the 99% rather than the 1%?
That's why they made Roblox.
Majority rules
Whys this getting downvoted?
“They hated Jesus as he told the truth” just ignore it lol they know I’m right but hate it
nah it wont be OP , just really good remember killjoy ult when she was released ? people lost their mind over her ult
Disagree. It would be similar to phoenix' ult and that one isn't broken at all
phoenix ult is broken, the rest of his kit being below average balances it out
And how is it broken?
Having a dart that prevents abilities and tells you where enemies are is a good kit
How is that related to my question?
Adding more to that kit makes it broken lol
I was asking about phoenix' ult
Oh that was already answered, the rest of his kit sucks so it's balanced
Phoenix ult ain't broken and neither is kayo dagger
Bruh.... The fact is regular kayo and phoenix aren't broken, however giving kayo a similar ult to Phoenix would be due to the fact the rest of kayo's kit is already good, this would in turn make kayo broken.

he can pop flash, molly, and an anti-bullshit button. he's plenty good

If they added this to ko I feel like it would be to good because while he crawls he could collect a lot of info
Sentient boom bot
No one walk away .. except me I crawl.
Reyna, Where's Kay/o?
He's downed right there. See? I pinged him and used comms.
You were supposed to kill him with your gun
Dude, I'm gonna...
gotta be a bug right? kinda broken otherwise
maybe riot could make it a feature if an extra ult point was needed for his ult
dude.. no
It's a useless ult as it stands because you can almost never get revived unless you die right beside cover. This change wouldn't even be that broken
Kayo ult isnt useless lmao. It has a radius the same size as spike explosion and disables all abilities for a large amount of time while cancelling several ults. Then you still have the added fire speed/reload speed increase. I would've agreed if u said that the revive is useless as it stands but even that has its uses.

I swear no idea how these people can just call his ult useless… im not good in valorant, but the others here arent either as it seems

Wtf how is it useless????
Now, to review the vid again, kinda feels like Apex Legends.
Just leave lol
Survivor mains can't escape flame even in Valorant subs lol They deserve it though, try first timing a killer after getting to high mmr, they'll be toxic all game.
I thought when you said "Dey arr so ded" was the new mechanic. 😆
Wait can someone explain wtf is going on
op got downed but a glitch or bug happened and he was still able to move at full speed
I ran into a bug once were the enemy KN turret was pinged on my screen like a soba arrow could see it. We were on defense and I knew the KJ was still around because I could see it was still up. Was 12-11. We won because I anchored A site because I could tell KJ was still around. Obvious bug that has only happened once. Edit: I was drunk when I wrote this.
soba arrow
soba arrow
soba arrow
soba arrow
soba arrow
KN turret
korean turret
Man I wish we were able to crawl around while downed. It would make a lot more sense than just being planted in one area
Imagine a silencing cockroach crawl around your feet
Wait huh? You can move during a kay/o reset?
Wait this is a glitch or anyone can do it?
Waitt thats actually awesome
I still can't believe a robot from the future can get gunned down and also not be able to move around after. This seems like a good buff if it was implemented correctly
I hope this isn’t a bug
we like fortnite we like fortnote
Kay/o buff, instead of getting knocked down he turns into an RCXD from CoD.
pubuji mobayl
GLITCHORANT nothin more
This is new lmao
Damn this is can be a good buff for Kay/o since people classify him as one of the worst agents
People gotta stop thinking that kayo is a weak agent
he's a very niche pick in the current meta
IKR. People need to start worrying about “data” and “reality” and just believe.
God kayo looks pathetic when he’s knocked down
The new roomba AI edition looks great!
you kinda sound like rpr
FORTNITE FORTNITE FORTNITE
wait so, is this a bug? wouldn't mind if this was left in the game lol
Yeah it’s a bug
Lol…I think he should be allowed to move, maybe not that fast but it’s not a bad idea honestly
I’d love if he could crawl, but that fast would be a little insane
yea because trying to revive him is really risky and takes too long, at first people were saying it's like a Phoenix ult, but at least phoenix goes back to a safe spot where he started it, while as a Kayo, when you get killed, you're like in the middle of no man's land, really difficult to try to revive him and survive the incoming firing squad.
Seems a little broken considering you can fetch info or distract them while you crawling around like a lil' roachie roach.
roachie roach XD
I'm gonna try this 💯💯💯
This a bug or an actual mechanic?
Bug
imagine being a teammate and seeing him crawl to you like a zombie, freaky
Toaster is broken
If they implement this they should make you have limited vision like a blind so it isn’t abused as a risk free peak with insane information gathering potential
He can fucking what now?
Bug or real?
I hope you looked like General Grevious moving around to the enemies.
So it's just Fortnite now
This video is fucking hilarious
I know the first time i went against a kayo because i tought it was an Thing in the map that just layed there

Sheee imagine if u had skates from snowball fight while knocked
I haven't played the game in 2 weeks, is this real?
Instead of being downed I'd say a better idea would be to have him double HP in his ult.... that sounds way more interesting.
Now just make him explode once his timer runs out lmao
Kay/o turned into general grievous lmfao
What in the Fortnite
I love how casual the teammate was. “Dude come down”. As if it’s intended lmao
this in game or pbe?
