As far as valkyrie is autopilot goes, it is like someone saying Mei is love, or the sky is angry.
It isn’t literal, it is poetic, but still conveys meaning.
I mean, and you can also have an autopilot which still requires user input, if you want to be literal - The Tesla’s for instance have one. Let go of the wheel and they stop.
Anyway, A lot of the choices you make in Valk have less importance.
You covered this yourself in your rebuild, and had a good answer to some of it.
#BigMainLittleChains added made the choice of which hero in a group got the beam more important.
I don’t want a revert, I want a way forward. I don’t like Valk in it’s current form, and I don’t like having 50 HPS, because it lowers the impact of your beam, and because of that, you get less choices on healing.
I want to make her have more choices per second, which matter more. A higher ability to screw up and fail, but a higher ability to make impactful plays if you do well.
It’s harmless activism that young people are prone to because they want to prove that they have conviction. I like youngsters like that, and the adult thing to do is NOT TO MARGINALIZE THEM, because actively marginalizing them would make them resort to more extreme actions.
I happen to be on the “authority” side back in the day, and dealt against protests and activism a lot, the SERIOUS kind, and not the harmless stuff Aria Rose is doing.
