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.

If you had to get rid of one of these six maps, what would it be?
