Phoenix has a sub 50% win rate on most maps in the current meta and I personally believe he isn’t a bad agent but rather is being outshined by most other duellists in the current meta. I would like to suggest some buffs to help him compete more evenly with other agents. As a Phoenix main with more than 200 hours just playing him I have had a lot of experiences where I have felt that his abilities are just not where I feel they should be.

Firstly, one of the things that annoy me the most about him are his flashes. Some of the worst flashes in the game with a blind duration of 1.1 seconds sometimes feels like barely enough time to get out from behind cover and click one head, especially when compared to skye’s 2.5 second flash. I believe buffing this to 1.5 seconds would greatly increase his play.

Secondly, i think his hot hands ability is not as useful as it should be as it only heals for 50 health while Reyna can heal herself up to 100. I think increasing his heal to even 75 would make the agent way more viable. Using it as a molly as well is also underpowered as it can’t go very far and doesn’t last as long as viper or brims mollies and increasing these would open the way up for many more useful lineups.

His ult is perfectly fine and I feel his wall could go a bit further but it hasn’t really caused me too many problems.

Anyway, those are just my opinions as to how Phoenix can be improved to bring his win rate to a more acceptable place rather than less than 48% on most maps.
