I totally agree, it is not a vct tournament per definition and I find it to be of the utmost disgrace to be part of the so called 'shitshow' we call vct and love for it's poor design. Don't infest my favourite piece of poor organisation with your sports washing piece of poor organisation!!!

a full sense fan's opinions shouldn't be allocated any kind of attention

idc about ranked tho xd im not overreacting anyways, im just concerned

it really ads some more depth to the game and theres a perfect mix of fights and slow play as of now
Clearing space (usually quick at the start)----->slow play (waiting for util to recharge) and then quick plays again i really like the pace it is.
Cooldown changes would probably change those dynamics completely

I dont like the way they went with tejo too, i wouldve liked to see him with increased cooldowns and slight nerfs to the drone. It did get a bit monotone at times, but it was tejo being strong and other agents being weak so

neT to all gamers???

i know, i didnt mean to imply that i didnt know that it was just about cooldown changes, but i feel like it could snowball into huge changes regarding the way esports plays out.
I might be a huge hear me out on this topic, but i love watching slow and steady rounds with multiple reclears etc happening, i want the game to be methotical and util heavy

they most likely do, the department related to skins has nothing to do with the balance team i hope you know

IS THIS THE REAL JONAH P??? IS THE P FOR PORK INSTEAD OF PULICE??? HOLY SMOKES SIGN MY STEAM OR SUM

no way we're pissed about pronouns in the big 2025 innit

Give some more characters more independancy from double initiator/controller setups and give us some quality of life improvements to agents that might be strong but punish poor use. Viper e.g. can recall her utility in customs. Give her the ability to do so pregame at least on defense so people that f up their lineups or put poor walls can actually try again instead of having to practice it in customs or losing a round for it in game

I think it's a horrible approach to the games power creep...
There are countless things that need changes (Judge, Harbor, possibly Odin, Jett (shes the worst actual duelist in the game live with it), etc), but utility, after the Tejo changes and whatnot, doesn't need major changes.

How about we actually individually balance agents like Kay/O, who's basically useless on all maps except ascent bind and maybe corrode, in which he hasnt really been seeing play anyways anymore, because the meta we had (pre-) champs was perfect except for a few agents like kayo harbor and skye, agents that definitly need changes to be viable again in competitive play.
Utility that is used to deny peeks/clear space and such is extremely important to this game, due to the importance of holding angles and the advantages that come with it. And if we change cooldowns, we need to address other issues or reevaluate util without said cooldowns too.
I'm not the guy to say this would kill the game, because it wouldn't but I see more dangers than advantages in this change...
THE GAME WAS SO GOOD THE PAST FEW WEEKS BALANCE WISE. JUST ADJUST OBVIOUSLY WEAK AGENTS SUCH AS HABOB, MAYBE ADD A PLACEBO 5 SECS COOLDOWN TO SOME INITIATORS AND REMOVE 5 SECS FROM SOME TOO...

Im not a fan of this change. I don't mind the state of utility in this game and if it was as horrible as it sometimes is portrayed by streamers pros and others, this is not the right way to change that. THE PROBLEM EVERYONE AND THEIR MOM IS CRYING ABOUT IS VISUAL ISSUES AND UTIL DUMPS (which i dont mind, its a part of the game you made lol). If you change cooldowns, you still get dumped and isolated onsite. That process will only be repeatable once or twice per round from this change on instead of twice to three times.

Not the right way to address this stuff please sign me riot ill fix the game pls pls pls pls

Clove doesnt need a buff. They were designed to be and will always be a ranked agent. It's a fundamental flaw within the design of them.

Jieni can save g2

why unc... ill miss you gang please snus in the booth

Crashies has a heart attack in swiss upper round 1 against prx.

Nothing and nobody can save demon1. He should join all gamers and sit on their bench. o0o0o clears, Jieni should join furia!

downvote if you think they wont win a singular map

ggwp,
Stage 1 prediction:
Laz returns from retirement and drops 400

hard to describe, look it up on anything

overflow

I, as a german, am embarressed to be one watching cgn play...
THIS IS NOT RANKED WHAT ARE THOSE COMPS??? IM SAYING THAT AS A PRX FAN BUT WHAT IS THIS??????
THIS TEAM THRIVES ON INDIVIDUAL MOMENTS, THATS THE ONLY WAY THEY WIN. HOW CAN WE BAIT SO MUCH AND RANDOMLY ULT ON A MAIN TO DRAG ROTATIONS???? SOVA ULT TO SUPPORT A BAIT/FAKE PUSH IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS IVE EVER SEEN....

ggwp EDG, gotta thank PRX tho for making all of this possible. EDG wouldnt have won if they lost to PRX and PRX threw so hard that they could make this run happen.

thats gotta hurt

at least that means free seats to all emea teams....

Hear me out here:
FNATIC - BiliBili: 2-0 (i'm buyin BiliBili classic if they do the NRG thingy to FNC); DRX-KRÜ: 2-1(KRÜ always make it into champs, just to fall short there...); GenG-SEN: 2-0(GenG can't play their old 7 map pool, but has more time to prac new/old maps and come on, its geng...); FPX-TH: 1-2(TH too good); LEV-TLN: 2-0(AMER's best team against apacs weakest...); VIT-TE: 2-0(trace who?); EDG-FUT: 0-2 (EDG are washed asf internationally, although they looked good with simon); G2-PRX: 1-2 (PRX fan bias and hope for them to finally win smth)

last time our teams faced off wasn't all so funny, loosing against a fat 150cm indonesian sub and having him scream at you in your teams home country

womp womp + ratio + sayf rules

Does Sayf sign testicles?? That man's poppin off, i want him to pop insida me (please don't ban me im just silly :3)
