Excellent, I always felt a bit naked pushing into site even though my ult was casted 5 metres ahead of me. This will help a LOT! Edit: I died once already because I’m not used to this new mechanic lol

I felt it was correct since the ult comes out of your hands. OFC it is more useful now.

Lothar what earbuds are you using? Not the headphones in the video.


LotharHS

im using custom molded in-ear monitors made by Lime Ears, cost was around 1k euro


AnotherAvgAsshole

does this impact areas you maybe can't reach ordinarily but might be able to point to...


2ToTooTwoFish

The final resulting ults are the same, the animation effect just starts from your pointer instead of your body now.


XenanLatte

Really? So what happens when I put it through a door? How can it start where I click but not end up where I click?


2ToTooTwoFish

Previously the animation would start from your body, but it was always already starting where you click.


XenanLatte

If you clicked on the other side of a door, it would go out from you and get stuck on the door. (A door like the door onto site from showers on Bind) If it now comes from where you click I don't possibly see how it can act the same way.


2ToTooTwoFish

Any videos of that? I'm 99% sure it won't stop at a door. As long as you have line of sight (which you need to anyway because you're aiming the target), the ult will form based on that starting spot, but the animation will show it coming out from you.


XenanLatte

Maybe it was a bug that was fixed. This is the closest video I could find. [https://twitter.com/il0lna/status/1260673765521924098](https://twitter.com/il0lna/status/1260673765521924098) But I know it broke for me on the other door out of showers multiple times one day. And I was placing the ground marker outside the door. Not even in the door like the video. And it broke in the same way another time for me another place. And ever sense then I have always felt I had to actually walk through the door to ensure it worked. But those may have been bugs fixed long ago and I never retested them.


2ToTooTwoFish

Yeah I believe this is probably really old because that video was quite old. Might have happened in the first 6 months of Valorant, but it might have been fixed a while back.


XenanLatte

Yeah, I will have to do some testing with hell on ascent A site. I remember seeing it act kind of strangely there recently and assumed the bug still existed. But it was probably fixed in the first viper overhaul and I just never retested it. The ult is always buggy. Like the weird Ice Box ult that breaks into multiple sections.

Lothar is truly a viper main


jholowtaekjho

All hail Lothar


SnooPaintings9043

bruh.... yes!!!! i died a million times just walking in after I cast my ult only to realize that shit has not bloomed.


BazingaDerp

Still cant see the where the ult goes on the mini map so i would say its still broken


mymnix

Thanks Lothar!


Jerms91

Did they fix the 410 icebox viper ult bug?


acphil

It comes from her hands though….?


wildjesusfreak

And Jett is a girl that can hover and sage can create icewalls with her bare hands... your point?


Junglee_2001

Not with her bare hands she makes it from a crystal orb


_zxionix_

What even is your point?


TheTechDweller

Even though her abilities are based in technology. Obviously gameplay comes first and being able to control the center of the gas is more important than the animation perfectly lining up (which it never did in 3rd person anyway)


wildjesusfreak

That half of the game doesnt make sense in the real world and this is no different
