As op as people may think gecko is, his wingman is actually super weak, not to mention that u can kill every single one of his abilities if u have good reaction time. If they buff the hp of wingman and the rest of his abilities he will definitely be goody
@@mosule11 first game on today we lost a swift play because the only guy near site didn't kill his wingman, but *did* kill the gekko and said eeeverything was fine lmao
I feel like the Lotus map was made for Gecko tho. He's really good at Lotus. PS: am I the only one who thinks Gecko's avatar ikon seem like Eminem at first glance?
Gekko would be popular but not that much as most of his abilities can be shot down Which is a bummer, like i don't think any agent who flash could be broken was played many times, the only good flash agent that people play RN i guess is Omen, Breach, Kay/o and Yoru right? Like Reyna is not picked because of her Less utils, Phoenix- Too bad, Skye - yeah sometimes but not in regular play. Mosh pit- good with combinations, solo is very situational as can easily be dodged if not camping. His Wingman is pretty good like for planting, defusing using as reveal etc. His Ult- Just good Overall he is pretty balanced changed as most of his util can be dodged or broken, and to tackle that Riot introduced picking up his utils, I guess Teams have to be creative to use it
if people take his initiator role seriously, he's one hell of an anti-rat spot agent. Having infinite abilities balanced to be disabled by shooting at it or using utilities to counter it. It's a pretty fair agent, though, at first glance, low elo players will take it as "Using Gekko means the map is instantly attacker-sided," which is false. It's all about knowing how his utility work. Easy to not get stunned or blinded but they would be distracted by it.
I think his kit is pretty weak and could use some adjustments, but also u could do stuff and then peak off of it while they focus on the kit which could prove REALLY useful
In my opinion it's gonna go down bad as solo agent as it requires team play and you can expect Team play Only and Only in Pro matches or 5 stack, In solo queue. Nope!
@@yashasvianandakshaychanda9100 basically a breach-like agent, who wont preform well in gold and under, in contrary to fade,sova (maybe even skye) and kayo who do just find in low ranks
As a person who started playing Valorant because of Gekko, I approve this video. (At the time of writing this comment, I still have yet to play my first match. 😅)
everyone says he is op but after playing him for a few games i noticed that he is good when noone knows how to play against him but in s few days/weeks he will get more balanced
@@aryanGamin25 nah, duelists main job is to entry, initiators help them by giving flashes,stuns etc and giving info, boombot was too good of an info ability for a duelist, so the commenters pointing out the “hypocrisy” makes no sense
@@Almaeeni0 It makes total sense to point out the hypocrisy. They already nerfed boombot damage, then duration. Then they make a character with infinite abilities pretty much, and can defuse/plant spike whole you hold an angle and cover it(pretty much giving you a free 1v1 that is if you're smart)?? Not to mention a mosh with a huge AOE. Nah that's not right. Raze needs to be buffed again. The only excuses I've heard are initiator mains getting booty tickled saying it gives "too much info"... Wah wah wah cry and bottom frag more initiators.
@@justinprice2598 you’re overestimating gekko, most of the time you’ll get to use your abilities 2 or 3 times max, you can easily kill wingman, mosh has 3 seconds of wind up literally enough to get away with spare time, raze isnt an info character and she shouldnt have an info ability, simple as that, youre clearly a pressed raze main, taking gekkos abilities out of context acting like hes the next chamber or astra
Biggest pet peeve with Valorant is how effects feel designed for specific characters even though eventually other characters get them too. Like detainment, looks made for KJ with the colours of her mollies and such, but now Gekko has it. Omen flash shows up as Reynas eye on minimap, why? You could use a generic "blind"-icon or just show his ability icon instead. Standing in Gekko-molly gives you the warning that Brim ult gives you, etc etc. There should be some aesthetic consistency. And lastly, Gekko goo looks like a bright flash on enemies, but it does not fit imo. I'd rather have the blind effect instead ngl
idk I actually think the game would feel more cohesive if more characters had kits and abilities that looked more similar to each other. Obviously they need to be different so players can see what and who exactly they're being attacked by, but I've always felt like kj's abilities kind of ruin the visual cohesion/aesthetic of the game. idk.
look: detainment is a mechanic and to be fair it is a bit uncommon in actual games since kj ult either gets destroyed fast or people just leave omen came before reyna and the icon is not for a blind, but for the mechanic of nearsightedness which is slightly different and having the same icon for "you're about to die if you keep standing here".... that brim has on his ult, and breach has on his dmg ability.... now on gekko is normal there is aesthetic consistency, you just have drawn some wrong connections there and lastly the new "flash" that gekko has seems to be even more interesting since it covers the middle of the screen and not the edges and it may create a practice between pros to learn to peek with the edge of the screen which could be funny af
Counter argument, if they have more health they'll be broken because they'll be too hard to kill. Right now they're weak enough to be breakable if you have good aim and reaction time, but not weak enough that they'll always get broken before they get to do anything. If the flash had more health you wouldn't be able to break it before it flashed you, if the ult had more health it'd be unstoppable unless you see it coming down B long on Pearl, if wingman had more health he'd potentially be able to defuse through lineups and would be way too strong on pistol round
I am really looking forward to playing gekko! seems like a rlly fun character and also his backstory is really cool
When he is coming
@ 1750-Dpi Don’t wanna fight or anything so if that’s ur opinion it’s cool, just respect other opinions
@@white_lie supposedly he is already out run if I’m not wrong
The first bug where he just runs at one spot could honestly be on a loading screen in the bottom corner lol
Wingman is just the cutest
Ik
Ikr 🤤
There is no way I'm gonna be able to shoot him
True
No KJ is the cutest...look at her when running..her cute face...her face
idk y she's named Killjoy... should be Kidjoy
As op as people may think gecko is, his wingman is actually super weak, not to mention that u can kill every single one of his abilities if u have good reaction time. If they buff the hp of wingman and the rest of his abilities he will definitely be goody
wingman shouldnt be used as a way to get kills imo. thats not his place in the meta, and people are just using him as a flash at that point
It will be crazy in low elo cuz they wont know what to do lmaoo
@@mosule11exactly
@@franklinpayne888 my new carry out of elo hell lmaoo wingman deffuse spike and they won't even know

4:44 eggwick you monster! How dare you do that to the lil guy!
i love gekko for a variety of reason, but mainly I just love the positivity he has with his ability friends.
LMFAO.
I just played Gekko with an enemy Gekko last night. Dude, we're basically having a Pokemon battle.
The 2nd wingman defusing at 7:12 is having the time of his life.
That's really interesting and I don't think that bug should ever get fixed
Man this might be easy to deal with in higher elo but in lower elo this will be so frikin annoying
I feel like the Lotus map was made for Gecko tho. He's really good at Lotus.
PS: am I the only one who thinks Gecko's avatar ikon seem like Eminem at first glance?
Wingman best man
Also when he plants you get the ult point so that's cool
5:03 bro just said yeet
Gekko is like , it has many agents abilities but limits each in some way
geeko flash is very similar to kayo ones the sooner you see the flashbang the faster you can doge
"thats a weak ult" bro a lot of people flee the scene the moment he ults 💀💔
Pokemon Eminem Agent & creatures as abilities? Already my new main.

I like Gekko, I usually hold the spike or have my friends do it and I just lay way back with my good ol' guardian.
4:40 61800 vali credit OP
so if attackers die before getting the spike down but wings het he plant down and when defenders die but the wingman get the diffuse what happens?????
Wingman's my fav of the pokemon
His flash looks like eggwick
The little dudes are just too powerful
Does wingman still reveal enemies behind walls
if people take his initiator role seriously, he's one hell of an anti-rat spot agent.

Wingman is just "let me do it for you" meme if it was an ability 😂
Once you seen it that way you can't undo it 😂
what’s your take on the oni vandal, cop or drop??
Cop
I think he is actually balanced everything has a counter and he's fun
💀💀💀💀
@@jaro9930 theyre right
@@Almaeeni0 who tf is they
@@jaro9930 everyone who says that gekko isnt op cus he is barely balanced

I love watching you actually play the game! Keep up the great work! :)
His flash is just Reyna blind but buffed in every single metric except health
Eggwick with Giansanity :00
Ikr and some other filipino streamers i know deyum!

If you're on defense and wingman is defusing while your whole team dies do you still instantly lose or can you win if the defuse goes off?
Wingman is just a camo of Eggwick🗿
Good job riot
bro gekko is actually so unique
Riot should nerft it pickup count and make the sound more higher
In lowe elo his ult is just a confirm kill
gekko plus breach stun?? possible combo???
What do you play?
The first Clip
How did skye get up there on 4:07 ???
EGG U R CRACKEDDDD
Tip: just move your mouse to control thrashs m9vement
Now i understand why the last battlepass have a blue orb card. Look at geko chest.
Damn bro little guy can break through doors if place correctly
love the voicelines
Gotta catch them all!
wow eggwick with giansanity eyyyy
i think wing man should be able to return spike to you you send him to spike ans if its droped on site it plants or if its not on site i bring is back
How do youtubers get early access?
Riot gives them accounts to use that have him
gekko fade raze combo
holly
hes good, balanced, and fun. Now they need to buff raze ult
on god
Yeah lol
Lmao we finally get to see egg play
He is gonna tilt so many players 😂😂
All his abilities should use only one time every round
They should work on his Ult
Are we not gonna talk about the oni vandal?
Honestly i dont wanna be in a 1v1 situation with a gekko its so stressful tbh he can plant and hold or hold then defuse and i dont like it 😂
As a person who started playing Valorant because of Gekko, I approve this video. (At the time of writing this comment, I still have yet to play my first match. 😅)
sheesh you're playing with master giansanity
Haven't played val in a while. It's not spike planted its pike slanted
everyone says he is op but after playing him for a few games i noticed that he is good when noone knows how to play against him but in s few days/weeks he will get more balanced
Someone in chat said “rgx blade looks better” brain=small
I love the new one bundle but can't buy it 😫
Pritty sure this guy gona get bombarded with nerfs within a week or 2
sheesh gekko enjoyer
PAIN PAIN PAIN and Suffering 🤣🤣
gekko seems like a very over powered character since he can use his ult multiple times in the same round
2 times, and the ult itself is kind of weak as u can shoot it like a skye dog, so its kinda balanced
Gekko seems gamechanging to me
Bro I still cant fucking get over the fact that
Gekko sound kinda and look kinda like Eminem
I knew this was coming
Wait wtf a new agent was added and i didn't know
I couldn’t kill wing man even if it was 11 - 12 and he was defusing
YOU couldnt, most people probably could
I'm going to main gekko I'm sorry sage but his little buddy's are to cute 🥰
He is just practising running so he can run faster 😂
If waffles could talk they would sound like you
ok in spike rush if there are 2 wingmen with spike which one plants or does one just stop?
Imagine if they planted 5 spikes, the defender is f**ked 😂
how will you get two wingmen with spikes?
@@Almaeeni0 i think in spike rush every attackers got spike
@@unknowngt6185 yeah but you cant have two of the same agent
i saw wingman in the title and thought that valorant added a new gamemode wingman hahahah
Wingman is cute and fucking commited.
Seems illegal to be this early
Wingman needs to take molly damage
dude played with GianSanity and everything went fine.
He’s pretty balanced, I think this is a good enough reason to nerf Chamber.
I’m going to loose every game I just can’t shoot him
Gekko is eminem
Jett's knives doesn't kill wingman guys
hey raze boombot is too strong to work as a inforamtion gather ability lets nerf it. Meanwhile, creating wingman can plant and stun check corner
raze is a duelist, gekko is an initiator, a duelist shouldnt be able to do an initiators job that well

They never said anything would be character specific kinda your fault for assuming because when they add new things of course things will get reused
I assume you're a designer? Coz that sounded a lot like design uniformity 😂

omen came before reyna and the icon is not for a blind, but for the mechanic of nearsightedness which is slightly different
and having the same icon for "you're about to die if you keep standing here".... that brim has on his ult, and breach has on his dmg ability.... now on gekko is normal
there is aesthetic consistency, you just have drawn some wrong connections there
and lastly the new "flash" that gekko has seems to be even more interesting since it covers the middle of the screen and not the edges and it may create a practice between pros to learn to peek with the edge of the screen which could be funny af
You say different agents should have different effects, but then you say the different effect of goo doesn't fit.
Wingman = lil guy
W Wingman 😂
I think Gekko has a similar style to Breach but a little different. Both can set up their stun then molly the people who were caught though.
i love wingmannn
the util should have more health, any counter argument?
Counter argument, if they have more health they'll be broken because they'll be too hard to kill.

more health usually means more broken
@@nyxislost553 maybe just the flash, i dont see much usage with the flash. it usually just gets used and then broken, and early in the round, too.
@@BluDr3w you can use the flash to mess with the enemies crosshair placement, just like reynas leer
gekko+skye=zoo
Thrash is so cute
hello how are you i am here 6 min in most early i have ever been hope your having a good day!
why is no one confirming wingman being able to defuse after Gekko dies?
Edit: nvm dev confirmed he will still defuse after death
He can't the windman dies after gekko does
Riot dev Alr confirmed that he can’t
*me realising i cant watch eggwick's streams because of time difference*
*me getting depression (its a joke)*
Anyone who dares to hurt wingman should be ban ngl
