a sentinel player who, for some reason, can’t/doesn’t play viper is a bad sentinel player

well meteor and tex didnt play viper for the entirety of last year as it was their first actual year on sentinel, yet they both still wound up being some of the most impactful players regionally and globally throughout the year. Though, this year they both have picked up viper due to most senti's being unneeded in the tejo meta, but that came with the experience of last year

yea they were great players last year, but viper just feels like such an essential agent for senti players even though she’s not an actual sentinel if that makes sense?

Viper def plays in a more sentinel-esque style

no it makes a lot of sense, but it really all depends on the team dynamic. Remember how geng pioneered the jett yoru no senti? it was because they worked around the strengths and weaknesses of meteor. He did struggle in the beginning when playing senti properly,(kind of like how primmie does and just disregards util) but he eventually was regarded as one of the best in his role maybe ever. Again, it depends on how the team likes to play, as nowadays double smokes is less played on some maps (not on haven, lotus, ascent, sunset, pearl, and icebox and split are sometimes 50/50), and vyse has really soared. personally i dont think viper is ESSENTIAL as long as you have a team that can work around you

Agree. Playing Viper at an acceptable level shoukd not be difficult for Senti players at the T1 level. Looking great at the agent specific stuff is another story, but being able to do the basic Viper stuff without their other skill falling off a cliff should be a given.

You're not crazy but you are still wrong. Viper is sentinel-like but not as easy to play as cupher kj or vyse.

I don't think Viper is easier to play than vyse of all agents

There is definitely a difference between viper and sentinels but learning viper as a sentinel player makes your team way more flexible.
