Coming from a dedicated Brimstone main who stopped playing him-
Why Brimstone needs a buff
- One of the lowest pick rates in the game, irrelevant compared to Astra or Viper, even on Bind.
- Can't smoke chokepoints far from his location (so much for being a "controller"). You need to put yourself way out there to even smoke common spots like Heaven on Bind or Screens on Split.
- Stim beacon kinda useless.
- Three un-rechargeable smokes are useless compared to other controllers with rechargeable smokes and ability to smoke anywhere.
How he needs to be buffed
- Increased size of tactical/holographic map to be almost global like other agents, both for smokes and ult.
- Replace stim beacon with something useful. Maybe an armor restoring beacon for teammates restoring 10-15 armor or something like that. Costs $200.
- Give him one free rechargeable smoke, recharges in 40-45 seconds.
TLDR- Controller having limited smokes and limited range to deploy said limited smokes makes zero sense. Stim beacon useless. Needs buff.
Edit 1- Pick rates if you're wondering- https://www.vlr.gg/event/agents/449/valorant-champions
Edit 2- Here's something funny. Brim literally has some kind of util dumping satellite at his disposal and the goddamn satellite range is limited by his stupid iPad lmao.
