I really have been enjoying Viper on some of the maps however I have found faults when playing her especially on Icebox and split. I have 2 separate Ideas that Riot could go forward with.

Viper Buffs #1

- Viper wall height Increase
- viper wall to all come up at once - Because of the smoke starting to release at the start near the end there is a small delay for when the wall comes out (small but with the delay there for her wall it leaves the site a few seconds
- Be able to pick up her smoke 7m away

I believe with these set of buffs Viper should be great at vertical maps, being able to smoke off higher and lower areas with her wall and completely stop rushes from one site as well as improve her retakes with it putting pressure on post plants

Viper Buffs #2

- shorten Viper wall
- Viper wall increased by 1 and can be placed as normal. However the wall will be activated like a cypher trap and you are still able to turn it off by looking at the centre or start of the viper wall and pressing your interact key.

Nerf to compensate

- decrease her regain of her fuel slightly
- Reduce vulnerability on Snake bite

This means you re able to put some sort of utility on both sites with the nerf of her fuel means she now has to play smart with her utility.

Ultimate Buffs/Nerfs.

Buffs
- Increase Visual Distance inside The pit (Nerf: increase Visual distance for enemies as well)
- Increase size of Pit
- slightly Increase activation distance

Nerfs
- Viper no longer see enemies highlighted
- Reduce decay from Ultimate slightly

At the moment viper's Pit is very situational and can disrupt your own team more than help. With these changes this will make the ultimate more useful in different situations like using it to push sites as well as it helping the team more in post plant situations. The changes above makes the Pit work more like a smoke that is around the area you placed it. With the increase in size and to see better inside means your team is able to play inside and adds breathing room for viper when it comes to moving around it.

Extra Buff Ideas

Below is some extra buffs that the Ultimate could have but may be a slight stretch.

- Reduce damage from weapons whilst in the pit ( Acts like a thin wall and means its a little harder for the enemy to spray you through the pit.
- Muffles sounds slightly and/or unable to see minimap for enemies (This could be a stretch but I do believe this could add a little more strength to her ultimate if its needed)
