Viper has one of my favourite aesthetics of all the agents in Valorant. The snake that hides in her nest, slowly weakening her foes and then striking quickly and mercilessly. A close range, slow assassin that chokes and poison her foes to death. That's a pretty pog idea for an agent.

So it makes me a little sad seeing almost no one play her at the professional level. There are a lot of reasons for that, and I won't go into them here. But one of the reasons for this is that she is almost all setup. She has no reactionary abilities. Which is strange for a character who's theme is a viper/snake. Snakes are infamous for their quick lunges and bites. So with that in mind here is my simple little buff:

Make Vipers ability "Snakebite" come off as fast as Jett throws out a smoke.

Doing away with having to chose the ability, waiting for her to load the poison and then clicking to shot, would not only make her flow better in fights, but also feel more fun to play while still honoring the theme. The name is Snakebite, it would make perfect sense for it to be a fast ability. So at the start of the round she just has her vials loaded. Then when she has an opportunity to use them, she can just raise her arm and throw one out in one quick and smooth motion just like Jett, with just one click of the button.

This would give her a reactionary ability to either stop fast pushes in chokepoints or quickly flush out someone tucked into a corner. Without the vulnerability of slowly loading up her arms and fiddling with the vials. This would be in keeping with the theme of snake biting you quickly while it's being cornered or it quickly biting some prey that it itself has cornered.

Though, you might have to nerf the poisons potency if this is done. But I'd rather have a weaker quick ability to throw down while being zerged then having to fiddle with vials while being shot in the face.
