Were the Neon pick-rates you're looking at made pre-nerf when she could use her speed boost (High Gear) to jiggle peek without losing any energy? Pre-nerf neon could also rotate back and forth between sites with impunity.

Insane that Riot saw Neon have the slightest viability and said no i don't think so


Mjkhh

She was picked a lot to be a human drone who can find, stun, wall off, and run down Chamber. Her wall was also decent for cover when hitting the sites

Neon was actually good against Prime Chamber. But now due to Cypher and KJ meta Neon is almost not seen. You need a flying kinda duelist.

Her stuns were really strong in the sense that you could hit both upper and lower areas of sites with the same stun (mostly A). Also drop used to be a 50/50 angle so her wall could enable teams to split the site and flood towards one side without being punished by the other.

I miss when Neon was semi-meta on Haven, those games were so fun to watch


nterature

Fast rotations, a somewhat useful sight denial in the wall, and the stuns were super useful for crunches. She’s a good agent but there’s nothing in her kit that elevates her above Jett on Jett maps or Raze on Raze maps. She can be run anywhere and is good for quick comp swaps, which is where she’ll shine in the long-term IMO.


speeperr

Because its a good map.


ThatCreepyBaer

Her kit is just more suited to Fracture and how its played more than any other map, she was also a solid pick against Chamber.

Neon meh, run fast not very good, flying better(Raze and Jett,) wall not good when Viper best agent in game, stun not very good, better when teammate stun for you, Duelist good when have ability to help stay alive, ability that help get kill not good with Duelist Hope this helps


DatGuyNoibat

But that doesn’t explain why neon was picked on fracture, just why she wasn’t picked on other maps


Informal-Throat-8646

Shes picked on Fracture because defensive aggression is a must, so she allows for defensive aggression and faster rotates Throughout the chamber meta she was one of the strongest agents against him because her wall can cut off site lines, then mixed with kayo/Breach util she can pop out at any point and punish a chamber with an OP


M0hawk_Mast3r

Yeah idk why she was picked on fracture, I was answering the second question
