i can see this agent getting nerfed to death after a few months
Everyone always says this when a new agent drops. Let’s wait to see how he develops
Chamber treatment for him
been hearing this exact same line since the release of Reyna
I don't think I would see him getting nerfed since I find one of his abilities feel underpowered. The molly is fine, his ult is useful and can give some value. But what I find underwhelming is his E and Q. His Q is really useful but I think they should've made his ability where he summons his pet (Q) as his signature since it gives info where enemies located and can plant bomb and made his "flash" as his Q ability. And his abilities are one charge (which I understand he can pick them up after deploying it) but I imagine where if he tries to pick his abilities up, enemies can try to swing and kill him while he's grabbing it. I feel like he will get the harbor treatment where I think he will get some buffs to make him easier to play. I'm not saying he will be awful. I find Gekko as a good agent since I find his abilities give value to the team but I feel like he has more potential to be better if they can make some changes
@@chrisuniverse7414 harbor isn't even underpowered. he has been consistently meta all of lock in.
Unless I'm wrong, this is the first agent that has an ability that interacts directly with the spike, this is definitely gonna make some games interesting
I agree not sure how I really feel just because I know against that would be really annoying lol
the fact that you can use thrash twice is insane
They never learn, this game would be so much better with one flash one dog one molly
you can break him easily though, after you break him just make sure enemy gekko can’t get him back
@@Tkt_t then play CSGO
@@Eli-pt9ftCSGO is a better game even though.
i think the ult is actually kind of weak in a lot of situations because its just kind of a skye dog that'll detain you
Conceptually, I really enjoy that he has a unique mechanic of being able to pick up his abilities, as opposed to simply recharging them on a cooldown. I might actually pick this guy up as an alternative to skye, even though I still like skye better
Cypher?
All sentinels except Sage can pick up abilities..
@@Bakashi that's true! that doesn't change his pickup style of being unique (besides, sentinel utility isn't exactly a flash or an ult, is it)
@@Bakashi I mean they can only pick up if their abilities isn't used. This guy can pickup AFTER using their abilities
@@chervilious But you have to pick it up like how you pick up an Ultimate Orb, that would make Gekko very vulnerable.
Seems that best part of the flash is that you don't flash yourself so you can use it carelessly and the wing man is a curious thing cuz we don't know if he would like disappear half planting or half dissarming. The ult is ok I guess, not overpowered (the rest of abilities seem to be tho). Lastly, the mosh pit seem to take a second too long but that is nice, we will see if it has like glue or movement restrictions (feels like Harbors Ult, whom I really expect to have a buff sometime).
Your videos are awesome, they've kept me on the loop and are so right on time.
No restrictions because it insta kills thats why it takes long
huh that ult looks crazy he can use it twice and its a detain for that long idk if it will be busted or not but it looks pretty strong
The ult more like phx ult i think, it can reveal where the enemy is without revealing your position, also if u found it, it would be huge advantage since enemy get detain. and the crazy part is u can use it twice. so i guess its pretty OP
@@liosfm and the detain last so long to
Half planting ?
He's got powerful abilities, but they are balanced out by the fact that they are only 1 charge with the pickup mechanic. This means that if his play doesn't work and he fails to take space, that ability is gone.
I agree with you. His ult though seems weak. Even Cyphers ult would have better value. His alt would only be great in 1v1 but that's all. If you get stunned by his ult you could get help from teammates or go to a safe spot to wait the stun out and the new agent would get overconfident and walk into your teammates. Also apparently the ult can be shot down so it's not a good ult as it would be very difficult to get value from the ult. The ult according to the video is 7 orbs which is too much for a weak ult but I think his other abilities are well balanced and great.
It turns out the ult can stun multiple enemies but it definitely can be shoot down so you wouldn't really use it against multiple enemies since the ult will get filled with bullets. I also wrote this:
The ult can be shot down. The ult is actually probably the same or even worse than Cyphers ult in terms of value. The ult can be shot down which means it likely wouldn't be able to stun multiple enemies. Which means that the ult will only be really useful in 1v1 situations where the enemy doesn't have utilities or teammates to help them because if they do have a teammate the teammate can protect them. Because the ult can be shot down it also make it harder to get value from the ult. Also notice how you need to capture space to use abilities again? If you fail to get space you will lose your abilities so you can even lose your ult if you lose the space your ult died in. Overall the new ult seems harder to get value out of it compared to other ults, however it looks like the agent's main reason for being played is going to be for his other abilities and because of his reusability. Because his utilities can be reused he will have a better impact later into rounds than other agents. However he likely will suffer from a less impactful ult and a less impactful early round impact. He also can be heavily punished for failing to take space. Rotations on the stacker side will therefore harm him.
@@yaseenvargas671 The fact that you can potentially use it twice in a single round cancels its weakness to some extent, so neither OP nor weak.
His ult seems weak? That's honestly a dumbass opinion bro.
@@meestersecure9060 100% on the weaker side compared to other agent ults and could be one of the weakest ults. His other abilities are much more balanced and might even make up for the weak ult though.
@@yaseenvargas671I can see his ult being used in combination with other abilities like a flash to put massive pressure on a single area. The fact you can reuse it too means it's not gonna be wasted if the util goes into only one person. Even if it sees no one thats still nfo you can use and you still have one more charge.
Automatic flashing, automatic defusing and automatic planting. That sounds very useful
Now legs are actually attached to spike ~ Kj 😭....
Really sick abilities, seems like he's a blast to play as
My first impressions:
Dizzy(E) - Seems a bit underpowered in its duration, looking like it only last about 1-1.5 secs. Most flashes last at least 2 secs but this might be a caveat to it because unlike the other flashes this one doesn't flash your teammates and can be picked up.
Mosh Pit(C) - According to the devs the center deals 150 damage so it's an instakill at the center but its apparently survivable in the sides. It's kinda like a Kayo molly really, though you should be one shot after taking that damage.
Also this ability really needs coordination from other utilities to get a kill because of the windup time. Potential combos to this would be the obvious; fade seize or astra pull. Other candidates could be a sage slow, breach stun, or neon stun.
Wingman(Q) - I honestly think this ability would be quite useful. Planting the spike in a NvN means the attacker will be 1 man down for a few secs but with this, you can just let it plant while you guard it.
The exhibition match didn't show much of this thing planting, but that's because they treated it as a solo util and didn't even properly cover it as it plant like you would if any player is planting.
There's also the fact that in defusing, with a smoke, this thing is actually hard to spam because it's quite small. Not only does the smoke doesn't tell you if the one defusing is Wingman or another player, it also allows the defender to not temporarily be 1 man down to defuse in a retake. I'm not even mentioning its other use as a raze boombot.
Thrasher (X) - The stunlock seems like it has a good duration also seems aoe so if they are rushing, you can actually completely halt their push. And depending on where you do that it might become a shooting gallery. Like say, they're rushing a main in ascent, if you stun them at the choke, they're visible to so many angles and are essentially dead without them being able to even run or shoot.
Though the 1 more time reuse of this ult is a nice addon, it's not really plausible to get it back in most cases.
Seems like a pretty cool agent that doesn't seem to take over other agents spot and has a completely different role and gameplay loop
words cannot describe how much I love this agent
Definitely excited for him! I’m sure for Moshpit they’ll reduce the aoe though
Yeah like what they did on viper's snakebite
probably won't considering it's not like the other mollies it literally just insta kills after 1.5(?) seconds.
@@twin_towers_destroyer 3
The wind up is pretty long so pretty sure they're just gonna nerf the DMG a bit.
in fact, when they first released breach his aftershock was kinda the same, long wind up but then instakill
Nice! Luv your stuff man, keep it up
His C & Q are absolutely insane Mosh Pit is like they took Viper's molly and Brim's molly and made it better. How much are you willing to bet it leaves allies undamaged? Remote def/plant seems designed to indirectly buff smokers (especially Omen and Harbor) but it's gonna get silly with a quickness
I feel like it’s kind of a kayo Molly but with a lot more range mixed in with a viper Molly’s visual effects
the pet that can plant or defuse doesn't seem broken to me, it's pretty easy to destroy and after that you just lost the spike on the site seems very situational
The molly doesn't look broken to me too watching the game it seems like it doesn't do damage until it explodes at the end and it's like kayo mollie so you have time to at least take less damage even if you don't get out
@@simonchevreau3389imagine a 1 v1 defuse scenario against this guy... Bird defuses while gekko holds the attacker from killing it
@@BobsSaltwater like i said situational
Wingman's so cute! I love Ekko's interactioms with it and how it runs around the normally chaotic battlefield
ekko
@@joonasu ahah
well said, straight to the point. Liked and subscribed
Gekko looks really cool
Short but precise, Thanks a lot for saving my precious time :)
He looks really fun tbh can't wait to try him out
you are always fast but today i was faster i was watching the stream on twitch xd
No matter the power he seems fun as hell, which alone may make influence his pick rate in all levels, I mean who doesn't love the little guy with a spike, running like a headless chicken
Thx for this information
He's like an aggresive kj 😭
I love it
thank you for explain 😍😍
Simple yet so unique, I like it!
He seems way better at entering sites for attack and retake than most initiators, but im worried how good he will be defensively. He can't really afford to carelessly use util on defender side because getting it back will be really difficult.
cant wait for the thrash + brim ult clips
The fact that the little one defuses
the one thing i just love about him is his freaking design the purple orange and green combo and the pants and tattoos just fuckign work so damn well
much love :D
Sad harbor noises ,harbor was his channel mascot (sorta) now it's gekko.
But Gekko is so good man
Imagine Wingman continues defusing after Gekko gets ambushed XD
gekko looks like a lot of fun
Wingman seems like riots attempt to indirectly nerf lineups
The fact it can defuse and plant the spike
I would totally play this dude. I’m currently a phoenix one trick and his kit is similar but it’s got some unique differences
This initiator is probably going to be my comfort pick, I can see that everyone might choose him over all the initiator simply his design. I mean I would too LOL
i pray that your cataract surgery would go well
Just imagine this
Kj ult + first util of gekko
i think i heard in the livestream that his molly kinda thing does 150 in the center after popping (3 sec)
Overpower af
Busted! Can't wait to try him though lol
Wingman gonna be insane
This one is blowing my mind
a simple to use and very useful ability defeating all initiators
Thrash is going to end up getting nerfed 100%
Bro finally I can plant the spike for my team without dying
thrash itself is kinda op considering you can just push after sending it
Seems like someone else is bringing their friends to play. Nice to see Skye and KJ arren't the only ones bringing company.
Can't believe you would disrespect boombox my beloved like that
I don’t think people understand that gekko is probably going to be underwhelming. If you get “flashed” can you still hear what’s going on? like footsteps? Then it’s not a good flash the flash isn’t going to be a flash more of a tool to locate them lol and give the opponent time to try to reposition. But, The one that can plant and defuse is really overwhelming that's going to be nerfed to one charge definitely. His kit is going to be sort of if you can’t make space during the use of his ability’s. Then he offers no value cause there’s no second time. He offers tremendous value but if you can make space. The only problem I see at the moment about his kit is the flash lol. Ult is a moving kj ult with 7 points. Nice
I thought it was complicated to use Gekko at first until i used them, it was quite easy and fun :DD
bro hes a companion to harbor. the comobs of cascade and thrash, wingman and cove are gonna be insane
The knife kills are gonna go up 😍
They really gave us an RC-XD from Call of Duty, le' mao.
Bro this initiator is completely made to combo with wall agents like harbour and viper i can legit see this harbour yoru together with another potential like fade this is gonna be huge but still a heavy lineup agent for that e ability
Welp if there’s gonna be a new meta for those who can play him good
Game changing agent
might main him he looks fun to use
That Molly is huge
this looks like a very fun agent
This agent is pretty strong, as their flash can't blind teammates, it's really strong to take site. Although with a little bit weakness that is they can still see some part of it.
I don't see planting spike being used often except maybe maps like icebox B, but defusing I can see it really being utilize, it's a perfect combo with harbor but he sucks anyaway.
The clearing corner can be a skye dog, but we don't know if they bounce like a raze boombot, or just walk, and we don't know it's seeing range (120 or 180 or 360)
Moshpit damage probably won't be 150, but ~70-100, it's still deadline combined with fade's seize possibly a replacement of brim's ult combo.
the ult maybe insane depending on the implementation, basically it can be a visible yoru ult. That can lockdown, I can see it as a way to delay like raze's ult and repick up then use it on post-plant
Mosh pit is confirmed 150 in the centre
@@auro8236 that seems unreasonably op. I mean, even just next to the middle would make you one hit.
Wow, this agent is really really different, n it looks really op
thanks for the guiide
bro got a premium defuser .
He looks fun
Can you turn his flashes or will the pet still shoot at you if you’re in it’s line of site regardless of it you’re looking away or not
they should buff skye dog that can able to see long distance and bulkier the ult
OP
I think he gonna be meta on split and fracture.
Hope that his voice lines will be eminem raplines
BRO IS BROKEN
his kit is fresh and exciting, tbh which is the opposite of harbor being boring and a let down
Gekko Recipe:
A pinch of Viper
A pinch of Killjoy
A pinch of Breach
A pinch of Skye
A pinch of Raze
So you can use and pick up and use his ult again
I feel like thrash could be such an underwhelming ultimate depending on whether or not it's easy to kill or killable at all.
It's really good
Looks awesome
IT CAN PLANT?? THATS SO CUTE
brooo gekko is way tooo OP
gekko seems to overpowered ngl
this looks like something i can play, everyone hates planting the spike lol
wait its really cool we gon see how it plays tho
Toooooo OP tooooooo OP
Nyc for defending spike....🌝
I wonder why they went with a single powerful blast with moshpit after changing breach's aftershock. Maybe it's damage trails off the further from the center you are, but I thought that burst damage abilities like this should be avoided. It just feels to binary, either you can't get out and you tank the damage possibly dying, or you immediately run as soon as it lands under your feet.
Yeah the damage is focused towards the center like a KAY/O grenade
If the Ult can also be picked up, so it has to be used fast as possible to do it twice
This abilities shud also be used faster to finish rounds cuz they r like Unlimited if we pick up the abilities all the time
Riot did show something unique in this Character, Literally this agent is a game changer
I feel like his Ult points can be nerfed afterwards
I don't even really follow Valorant at all, I just think that the little dudes that Gekko has look adorable. :)
HOLY OP
omg so powerfull , i like it 😍
bro this guys is op
thrash looks like bullshark, if u played maneater
ok he op asf ggs
when gekko ist on defense in a 1on1, and his wingman defuse the spike. is wingman after gekkos death still on defusing or dies wingman with gekko?
Seems fairly balanced, to be honest. The most interesting ability is the wingman, completely negates the spike advantage/disadvantage. I don't mind the ult, yes it's a detain and can be reused but if it has a small enough AoE, I don't see a problem with it. You can dash out of it, destroy it, jump over it or simply hide from it. Unless you're in doodoo elo where spacing is nonexistent, I don't see his ult hitting more than 1 person in attack, and maybe 3 people at most on defense.
Same when they used the ult in the showmatch the players got very little use from it. I think the ult should also deal a small amount of damage (max 50) but not be recallable. At the moment its just a skye dog on steroids.
@@waluigifan111 to be fair, a Skye dog on steroids that can't be bought every round, and takes 7 ult points (we can expect to see that cost go up to 8 probably though).
I like the idea to have something like pocemons XD
But I think thras and wingman are to op
Op asf
very creative but so over powered
O M G
Me whos just geting into val and has every pokemon game
This looks like a job for me
nahh thats fire
hes surely getting nerfed to the ground but it would be good bc then he has a low pickrate and i maybe can main him because he seems like fun
