11.08

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

valorant is dead. not just pro play, but the entire game is done. well see how it is when it goes up, but these changes are shit. worst patch notes ive ever seen (pearl and abyss look cool tho). i dont care about stun/blind/stim times being standardized, cool ig. but these agent changes kill the entire game. seriously, what the fuck. riot is doomed. ill link the sheep esports page about the changes:

but what. the. fuck. 60s cooldowns? across a lot of agents? really? i see that omens cooldowns are "more than before but below 60s" but what does that mean? 45? 50? if its 50, you can get exactly 2 extra smokes per round IF YOU USE THEM AT THE 0s MARK. 40? you might get 3, but only if ur eg or fnc. nobody is ever smoking mid anymore unless theres a known op because you cant exec anymore. what are we thinking? this kills omen, the only good controller in valorant.

omen isnt only used because hes op, hes used because everything else is shit. harbour? kill me first. astra? cant do anything other than smoke and play postplant. viper? easier to read than a picture book. brim? theres a reason hes only played on maps with no mid. hes shit. clove? not good in pro play anyways. some of these fuckers are getting 60s cooldowns too, so theyre extra shit. controllers are dead. hell, nobody even needs them anymore if they cant smoke anything.
rounds are either going to be 10s or 2 minutes, no in between bc of this fuckass cooldown. using intiator util at the start of the round for info? not anymore! by the time you get the next one, the spike has already blown up. save that shit for retake.

and the sentinel changes... where the FUCK to begin. sage and deadlock wall? cool, they had too much health anyway. the ability to see the hidden things faster? cool. nobody cares, theyre still gonna get hit, they have enough range anyway.

vyse - razorvine health doesnt matter, it still gets broken anyway. the ult has mixed feelings, if youre getting hit by the ult now, no distance changes are gonna fix it. it will still either hit you cuz ur in a corner or u get to run away already. the time tho? thats crazy. an extra second? you always will need that extra second before retaking/using it, so it just gives your opponents more time to just leave or smth. flash though.... why? thats the only reason its good, to flash and get info. thats its whole job, and now its gone. well done riot.

this brings me to fucking cypher. what the fuck. i would be complaining about this even if i wasnt a cypher main. what do you mean they dont get revealed? whats the point in them then? nothing. theyre info gatherers, not kill helpers anymore. yes, i know thats the point, but they do nothing on defense anymore. holding site? cosmetic trips that will never reveal anyone because even irons break them before theyre shocked by them. i guess shorter windup will help, but still? theres no way anyone is ever playing him again.

the best part? theres no veto buff, something he very much needs as he still doesnt compare to any other sentinel. hell, he gets worse because of this due to nobody else getting hit by anything anymore either. theres no need to remove util if the util does nothing.

yoru doesnt even make sense. wtf do you mean you cant use either flash or clone in ult? thats the whole point. shorter flash times? they were absurd before but what.

valorant as a game is dead. theres basically no utility anymore, every agent is dead. were gonna see a lot of triple duelist icl

this games entire identity is gone, were back to "cs but with anime characters" now. fucking kill me.

waaaa waaaa waaaa

add a warning if your gonna jumpscare

least reactive valorant fan

omen is smokes are 40 secs.

Abilities will still be strong just have to use slightly more braincells now for them to be effective your overreacting.

i agree with you on senti tho especially cypher he been underpowered for a while since everybody know how to counter his trips and also vyse flash change is dumb

cypher deserves the nerf, his trips take zero skill and unless the enemy team is playing specific characters like sova the trips are unbreakable and you have to ignore his site. it doesn't matter in pro play because people play set comps and have antis for him but in ranked it's retarded and he's one of my most player agents too

I do think the patch is awful though, people act like they were getting utility dumped in ranked when most people across the ranks are too incompetent to combo their utility and some of them barely even use it at all. if you want purely gun play then go play cs. even in pro play I think this patch is awful, it took like 5 abilities to force out an op already, is there any way to counter it now? I think rather than decreasing utility the utility will "increase" because people will just go back to running double initiator

Omen isnt only used because hes op, hes used because everything else is shit.

#1 cope that doesnt make any sense. he's so fucking busted that he makes everyone else look shit

thank god cypher is dead its cancerous playing against him without util to break trips

the only thing that will come with this change is that we´ll see kayo veto being played all maps (atleast the ones where winning mid its important) cuz imagine you have to wait a whole minute to reuse util and you also have to be careful to not get muted by any of these, nrg is winning everything next year with skuba veto and ethan kay/o all maps s0m judge and mada op cannot be countered either so its just over.
