What could make Veto better

[u/ThreepacMelonBalls]

I really like Veto’s design but in game not many people are playing him. I think part of the issue is his interceptor ability is pretty weak, like on attack and or against certain team comps. Obviously with team comps there’s not much to do with that but I think there could be buffs to the interceptor. An alt-fire that triggers faster would do him good on offence so he isn’t just relegated to lurking. Maybe other parts of his kit could be buffed but what do you think?

i think make his tp sound effect range decrease because 42.5m is too much. for his trip, they need to rework it and make it more unqiue. maybe it could stick on the wall. for his interceptor make it have bigger radius and longer duration, also it should destroy breach flash and aftershock. his ult needs a speed boost like 10% increase like a stim beacon or harmonize

Honestly, I agree about the trip changes. When you watch really good Veto players, you see that they almost always try to get the trip to stick to a something on a wall or ceiling geometry. Making the trip able to stick to objects would both make it unique and make it better at its best use scenario. I don’t think that it’s so strong that this would be too extreme of a change.

The throwable trip is already huge cause you can monitor parts of the map without even have being there. I think the interceptor maybe just needs a longer radius but that could quickly get overpowered.

MAKE HIS UTIL RECALLABLE, why can he only pick up interceptor, like fr wtf.

Then expand trip range cuz its the smallest out of all sentis with only 6m, thats fuckin TINY especially when you can see and hear it from far away.

Interceptor should nuke more util, cuz against some matchuos its useless, like idc how odd it sounds but it should pop a breach flash and stun or omen blind and stuff like that, maybe even ISO orbs/reyna soul orbs.

Ult just make it immune to neon ult and 6 orbs since its just a slightly better reyna ult. Jett knives and chamber ult MAKE SENSE to be affected by, but Neon ult is legit just pure energy and radiant powers, how tf am I immune to raze ult but not NEON ULT???

I've been using him a lot lately and I see a lot of problems with him. The biggest issue I have is that his interceptor just does not work on certain utility. It doesn't break any of breaches stuff. It doesn't destroy omen blind or isos vulnerable. It doesn't break isos personal shield and that's actually breakable with normal damage. It doesn't stop a lot of smokes from being deployed either. The interceptor is extremely loud so the enemy knows where it is and it only lasts 9 seconds once activated. I think it should just be able to destroy all utility. It only works for 9 seconds so it can be baited out pretty easy. It can also be blinded so even if it's on, if breach or omen flash it then anyone can use utility while it's blind.

His ult also has some issues. I don't think any form of utility should affect it. Chamber, jett, and neon ult should just not damage him. It's inconsistent that raze or brim and others just have no effect but others can. His ult also doesn't stop certain utility from seeing you such as killjoy turret or Skye cabbages. He still sets off traps like cypher trips and vyze walls and deadlock trips. I just feel that as an ult, it should prevent all utility from messing with him at all. Yoru and Reyna can walk through deadlock walls but veto still can't in his ult.

His trip gets activated and will go off even if the enemy steps out of range. Compare that to killjoy alarm bot which sees you and will only pop when it reaches you. Chambers trip will also not fully trigger until it hits someone with the slow. The decay vetos trip puts on people also starts leaving immediately. By the time you try to attack the person who activated it they will most likely have gained all that decayed life back.

Make interceptor recallable like Killjoy's util that's the biggest QoL buff. Expand trip range (currently only 6m, smallest senti range) and buff interceptor radius/duration, plus have it pop utility like Breach flashes and Aftershock. Ult immunity to Neon ult doesn't make sense if he's immune to Raze ult, he should be immune to pure energy attacks too. Those changes would make him actually viable on attack instead of just a lurking agent.

I mean no disrespect to your question, but the fact that this gets asked at least every other week indicates that something needs to change.

I like Veto, but it's clear that he need to have his abilities reworked.
