i'd like to see
something - jett
f0rsaken - yoru
d4v4i - viper/vyse
jinggg - omen
patmen - sova/fade
f0rsaken back on yoru as a pseudo init-duel
we will be there no matter what
sage is actually kinda decent with vyse. Because of the long rotation times, sage's stall (slow orb + wall) can be very useful, plus she can get some nasty angles down sightlines.
I'd much rather have something on yoru, jingg on sage, f0rsaken on astra, d4v4i on vyse (vyse is super good for holding a site too), and patmen on sova (please no fade).
Honestly even jingg on omen for double controller. Just you MUST have an astra otherwise ur team will be suffering while ur sorry omen character has to run 5 seconds just to smoke off the choke by which time the enemy is already in the site.
... aggressive omen down mid EVERY ROUND is easy to read wdym. You can't be smoking both sites from one site (b doesn't reach a, a doesn't reach b, not even close), so u HAVE to play mid every round. Just put a chamber in mid and u can shut down the omen every round. Plus get rid of their only smokes since they're playing unsafe/down mid. U should stay back if u are solo controller.
I feel like it could be Jett (something), Sova (Patmen), Omen (Jinggg), Astra (F0rsaken), Vyse (D4v41). Something could have a Yoru pick but with all the places that you can drop off, TP line-ups have to be precise. I can see an opportunity for double duelist but it is very risky on a map like this since there are many ways you can easily drop off.
Whilst the thread is theorising comps, I can easily see PRX floating this map since they have an Ascent comp that they have a bit of faith in and they have more flexibility and viability with a Corrode comp based on what has worked for other teams. PRX did use that one-off comp against DRX last year with Neon, Phoenix, Breach, KAYO, Omen, but it must have been a very inconsistent comp if they never replayed that map again.
absolutely not. PLEASE for the love of god do not pick omen over astra. Omen's range isn't even enough for the whole map on abyss, and it's just worse. F0rsaken is an amazing astra player, get him off yoru, put something on yoru, put jingg on like jett or maybe keep him on omen. and there is NO REASON that u should be putting ANYONE on viper on abyss. It sucks on abyss, period end of sentence. Her wall is useless, because the map is just too damn big.
jingg sage d4v4i vyse is a viable comp. it makes sense, strategy wise. For a team to successfully run solo-omen smokes on ascent, they need to be running it down EVERY round. That's super easy to prep against. It may work once, but it won't work all the time because abyss is a super open map. Running it down with w gaming works on almost every map, but abyss is like the only one it doesn't work on.
