Yay has the weakest agent pool in pro play?
im talking about yay? i dont mean the weakest agent in pro play i mean the yay has the weakest agent pool in pro play. He can only play chamber to champions level and average jett.
i mean there were plenty of chamber/jett merchants back pre-franchising, they just didn't have the high's of yay so we don't even hear abt them anymore
f0rsaken could also play raze though iirc(its his second most played) im talking purely jett/chamber
Less is probably the best viper and one of the best cyphers. Less wasn't just restricted to chamber and thats the problem.
Because Less was playing chamber for loud in the chamber meta, the reason I brought him up was because I'm trying to prove why agent pool is very important, especially with meta shifts. It's why YAY fell off really hard.
less never felt comfortable on chamber though lol(at least compared to how comfortable he was on viper, which is why when LOUD switched to him on viper at champs they did better)
so its a bad example because he was never a chamber merchant
edit: he didn't benefit from chamber meta, you have to use someone who benefited from it

this is vs yay, hes played chamber consistently in champs 2022 on chamber.
after the nerf he made the full switch to cypher/viper
he played chamber in 50% of maps that they played at copenhagen, compared to only 29% of maps played at champions 2022
edit: additionally, every member besides sacy played chamber at some point for LOUD. it wasn't only Less's job
yes but this is mainly because of value of chamber. Also map vetos plays a big role in these pick %. Loud don't favor chamber maps for Less because he isn't just restricted to chamber. Whilst FNS and Optic stated they did favor chamber maps and picked maps where chamber excels well so that they can play with YAY. Thats why less picked chamber 2 of the 3 maps they usually play against optic. HAVEN and FRACTURE but not breeze because of the halls trip and the B main trip.
u forgot abt this https://www.vlr.gg/130624/optic-gaming-vs-loud-valorant-champions-2022-group-stage-winners-b/?game=95051&tab=overview, ure simply a yay hater
you would generally want your raze players to be good, not just decent. especially when you are paying a huge amount for someone who takes up import spot
agent pool is fake. aspas been playing only jett raze his whole career and hes the goat
Yes but being able to play raze is important asf because if you can't play raze it either means perma map bans for you or role issues. Lev can play almost any map because Aspas can play all duelists and isn't restricted. YAY however if no one on his team can't play duelists, they can't pick bind because they have to risk YAY having to pop off on an agent they can't play that comfortably or well.
