I mean he's right. Sinatraa is still, easily, the most complete player package in terms of gameplay. Too bad no team will pick him up bc of the sponsor loss.

thank you :)

thanks boss

yeah the empress changes could probably go. Not that important for the rework

Reyna rework idea.

Hello all, sorry for this essay but i want to explain my reasoning in depth!

Currently, Reyna is in a weird spot, and she has been for her entire existence. She remains one of the highest presence agents in ranked (at all elos), while being one of the lowest presence agents in pro play. This leaves Riot checkmated; they cannot buff her, as she would become a nightmare in ranked, and they cannot nerf her, or she will be even more useless in pro.

So why is this? What causes this problem with Reyna?

Reyna was designed around the idea of her choosing between her Dismiss and Consume after getting a kill. Dismissing denies a trade and can let you gather some info safetly, while Consume heals you and even overheals you, while leaving you in a slightly more vulnerable state. However, this parity leads to two MASSIVE issues:

1. Reyna is always playing with 1 less ability than everyone else
   and
2. both Consume and Dismiss are either completely useless, or completely broken.

Because Reyna shares an ability slot for both Dismiss and Consume (2 charges) she is left with only 1 other ability resource; her Leer, which means she simply has less utility to use throughout a round than any other agent

and secondly, her Dismiss and especially Consume fight too much for the attention.
In ranked, Consume is disgustingly annoying to play against, as tags and extended teamplay in a round feel completely unrewarding. But because of the more chaos and less teamwork in ranked, trades are much less common than in pro play, which makes Dismiss extremely underwhelming in a lot of scenarios (especially in lower elos). In contrast, pro play sees almost every peek and every fight traded and fought, which makes Dismiss an invaluable ability in the kit, but leaving Consume as almost a "dead ability" (at least against good teams xd)

Basically, Consume strong in ranked, Dismiss weak in ranked. Consume weak in pro, Dismiss strong in pro.

So how does this get fixed? with this rework idea i went with the following aims:

1. Fix the ability draught in Reyna's kit by adding a new ability
2. Increase Dismiss' strength in ranked AND pro, while removing Consume
3. Retain Reyna's identity: the 1v9 killing machine.

Leer - no changes

Dismiss

• increased duration of invulnerabilty by 1.5 seconds (allows for longer repositioning or more aggressive info gathering)
• now heals 30 health on use (DOES NOT OVERHEAL)

Consume - removed

Replaced with new ability:

• Reyna instantly creates a smoke on her position. which grows out from the size of a Jett smoke to an Omen smoke
• lasts 7 seconds
• can be cast during dismiss
• (1 charge)

This ability gives Reyna some extra threat and survivability, while also upping her utility in a team based setting. (this is intended to give Reyna some cover to work with in clutch/multifrag situations)

Empress

• Upon getting 1 kill with Empress, the ult will last the entire round, otherwise it is still a 30s duration)
• Now always heals 150 per kill (still overheals)

what do you think? would this fix Reyna's issues or make more? is this cool or nah? Any Reyna mains in the chat?

Swerl :D

POG!

damn he just like me (3rd point)

deserved.

also, vlr should display player's MVP's and event trophies on their profile, similar to HLTV. That would be cool :)

Lord knows I'm necroing a post where I was turbo correct and still got downvoted.

zzzzz

boaster > br0zil
XD

where's the joke

brazilian players? great, good at the game, can be best in the world.

brazilian fans? delusional. "these 3 random players are options for the best in the world at their roles". Brazilian team wins major = every Brazilian player is tier 1 and every brazilian team is title contender. what a joke.

ride the hype, bro!

Holyyyy Brazilian fans are the most delusional fans in all of esports.

we have an amazing community who sticks together and looks for every tiny opportunity to play overseas and in big events. Even now, with utterly 0$ being put into the scene by riot or orgs, there are still teams competing against each other in OCE.

there are stable orgs. PWR literally applied for franchising and riot said nah

;-;

bummer :(
glad that an entire region has no players at all in franchising all good thanks Riot

u were right

oopsie :3

Nah Navi will demolish Heroic.
G2 will still 2-0 liquid and then dumpster Navi for the 5th time I the grand final.

By far the best content creator in valo. Top tier analysis and great understanding of the game.

C4lypso

very cool jersey

GE win this and whole event!

There are less women playing therefore there is a smaller pool of GC players, which would naturally make the amount of tier1 players lower.
Not many women have tier 1 experience or practic (which will come with time) due to the prejudice in the past and currently.

• the fact that being a woman in the gaming scene comes with a lot of other shit!!!

Aspas xd
Cryo better chamber not better jett
Derke " "

xd

Shahz was always Sen's IGL

massive crybaby, annoying asf reactions, absolutely garbage takes as an analyst (0 understanding of the game)
he would rather spread misinformation for attention than actually analyse.

that's mainly bc other GC teams have gotten better as well.

yeah changes are good, just saying they didn't need to make any big ones.

map is goated and perfect anyway, didn't need any big changes.

he's so right

sorry i got hungry :(

Probably the map that's most similar to csgo maps, which makes it the best imo.

banned for signing racist players

Sinatraa (Flex)
Swerl (duelist)
Trent (Flex)
Valyn (IGL + Sentinel)
Zander (Smokes)

you can still be the best of your role without being on the number 1 team

Boaster is the best IGL on the planet are you joking? If fnatic drop Boaster they instantly become worse no matter who they pick up.

No Swerl? Mens))
