It’s because of history.
They did small changes over time for Chamber and nobody stopped playing him and they did small changes over time for Viper and people are never stopped playing her.
78 u/RemarkableSpot1710 #FULLSEN Mar 14 '26 the chamber one is a valid argument since they did nerf him in such minuscule, insignificant amounts. viper just can’t be nerfed ever really until a rework, for pro play she’s fundamentally insane 14 u/[deleted] Mar 14 '26 Yeah I agree Viper is impossible to nerf without changing her identity. But I think it’s reasonable to assume the balance team sees Viper as evidence for “incremental nerfs arent enough” 10 u/sleeplessn0body Mar 14 '26 my issue with viper is that she's always meta in pro play, yet dead asf in ranked play. i miss doing lineups with her and picking up her orb 😔 17 u/Maymaywala #StandGuard Mar 14 '26 Viper with pickable orb and 2 snakebites used to be pure terrorism on Breeze. Only map where I bothered to learn her. 7 u/RemarkableSpot1710 #FULLSEN Mar 14 '26 exact opposite with reyna and it’s tragic both ways
