fan VALORANTS proposed an interesting and quite significant change to Phoenix† Her name is triplebabyquadra and she wants the agent to have the ability to “surf”. flame (VS). If we understand the suggestion correctly, I’d say it’s something close to what the “Icy” character did in the “Amazing Family” animation.

Good or bad suggestion, one thing is certain: Phoenix desperately needs change. Early in the game, he was one of the most talked about characters due to his low difficulty playability, style, and charisma. Now it is rare to see him in the professional league and in the standings.
The character fell by the wayside due to his bad and limited skill pack. Certainly none of your spells are the strongest in what they start to do. There are better “flashbangs”, there are “molotovs” that are just as good as other characters, and there are also walls that are more useful and dangerous than your fire.
Its final value is one of the few points that I will not change or make minor additions. Possibly a buff to explode on death and blind enemies – similar to a copy of Yoru. However, it is not enough to have a single enchantment that you use 2, 3, maximum 4 times during the whole match. There’s no logical reason to choose it other than “I’m interested”.
One of the things that bothers Triplebabyquadra the most is Phoenix’s lack of mobility against many agents who run extremely fast or even fly across the map. Hence the idea of surfing in Labareda.

According to him, Flare would work the same way, blocking the sight of enemies and dealing damage to anyone who touched it. The difference would be the agent’s ability to walk on it, not only creating a view that might surprise, but also the ability to elevate it to places where only Omen, Jett, Raze and others can’t for him. moment.
Fan also added that if Phoenix surfs the firewall, his accuracy may drop. However, if he took the final action, aiming accuracy should remain normal. The concept is to represent a combination of skills.
Many users responded to the suggestion and opinions were divided. Some loved the idea, others thought it was too difficult, even though Phoenix deserved some changes to her talent lineup. One person even recommended that some of his spells give him buffs like movement speed and fire rate.
In practice, this looks like something very similar to what Brimstone’s Boosting Flare does, and while this is an buff, the buff will still drop for those already rated among other characters who do better or equal. Brim offers these enhancements not only to himself, but to anyone within the spell’s sphere of influence.
The discussion is long, the opinions varied, but also necessary. In particular, Phoenix remains forgotten there, after a few Agents like Omen and even Yoru seemingly emerged from the darkness of what they were.
