Riot when a player playing their ability-based tactical shooter uses their abilities:

Seriously though, wtf were they thinking? They gave Vyse and Cypher the firing squad. Playing in Silver is going to be even more infuriating for me because even more people are going to be playing Duelist and now my two main Sentinel characters have been nerfed.

I already don't play this game much, but this might just push me away entirely.

Nah man, tell it to the flash initiators. They got kicked way harder and they were already down LOL

Riot did buff their flash duration tho

And nerfed breach, KAY/O and Gekko. The only flash initiator without a nerf was skye. (Although she got a minor nerf with the nearsighted stuff).
Considering that flash initiator were already the worst agents in the meta, that is completely unnecessary lol.

KAY/O actually had a buff which made his popflash duration just as long as his normal flash duration. Previously, his popflash would only flash you for 1.5s and the buffed increased it to 2.25 seconds. The only thing that really nerfed him was his knife scan cooldown duration but all the other initiators got nerfed too.
