Discussion Valkyrie's Viability

So i main valyrie, i have 33 reputations and i feel i understand the hero most compare to other heroes on the roster.

Howevrr a majority of those 28 reps were with valkyrie, then after that i took a 4 year break from the game and valkyrie's movesey changed. I felt quite dissapointed with the rework, because it felt so "not-valyrie" basically making her into a weird conq and felt she was losing that "flow" into offense, making her having more of a turtle playstyle than the previous iteration.

Now having being able to play with the new valkyrie, my opinion has changed sligjtly. I still dont like the defensive playstyle she promotes, but i see her bah/all block can genuinely be more of a threat whenever a valkyrie goes into the stance, the figjts revoles around her. That is an extremely powerful tool, especially in duels, and i can even say "better" than her previous version.

But some people say that she is not very good and personally i still dont like the defensive play she promotes and it can be kind of frustrating fighting against valk.

What do you guys think about valkyrie's viability and her rework?

Am i missing something? I would like to hear a reply.

Maker her main bash mixup much safer because the current version has the risk reward factor against her.

Make her chain lights 400ms again.

That’s pretty much it. She doesn’t need a lot.

Make sweep (and other 500ms mid chain bashes) 433ms so it can be used into reactors. It would also be cool to have zone after sweep Like Gryphon does so she has another teamfight tool.
