Criteria to consider is of course team impact, meta strategies, tenure, and international trophies

Mini is #1 no? Who’s next

what happens to mada tho. His waylay and harbor for example looks so out of his comfort

Different metas and roles but Keiko’s looking so good as fragger / carry potential but Som was goated on controller and vibes

Gun pull up delay after sprinting so it’s not always an instant kill when you get slided on. And/or no sprint and zap while ulting so there’s counterplay against Neon, maybe implementing being able to zap only when not sprinting

Boaster still got to be in the list no? But i vote Zander and demon1 and less. And Yay?

Because of Dambi, the agent will surely be the next one getting a nerf after yoru. Question is what?

• less charge on sprint
• gun pullout time after dash significantly decreased to make the dash more of an entry ability rather than a straight up duel advantage
• cant jump while sprinting?
• ult likely to receive a nerf too. Can’t sprint while using it? Does not recharge after each kill

Hope sentinels get some buffs too on the side

Agent’s got a double dash and insta retreat. And the saturate + retreat + 2nd player swing play feels a bit like cheating no? Props to the best Waylay players but I just feel there’s little to no counterplay for solo duels which is why I think Waylay’s a bit imbalanced? Am i missing something?

Def makes sense but am curious, what’s your beef with Breach?

Good to see Yoru finally being a meta pick but with his pick rate in VCT, surely Riot will see an opportunity to nerf him to balance out the duelists?

With the current meta bringing back Chamber’s viability and his contemporaries like Cryo and Demon1 also being strong on Veto, surely this is the perfect time for Yay’s resurgence and another shot for his second prime season?

I’m not saying bring her back to her OP days but when is riot going to buff her back just a bit. The initiators are somewhat balanced and even Tejo is still picked on some maps. I miss seeing Skye played more by pros

How do we bring back gambit nats? His impact and highlight reel during the gambit era was unreal and closest thing we got i think was that one match against sentinels on bind

Do we get him to a new org? Rebuild a team around him? Take him off IGL?

I nominate fracture as the map

I was watching a Demon1 video the other day and I hope we see this guy back in top form and with a top team soon

Is it too late for meteor to go back

GENG was actually going to be my honorable mention. Surprising that they didn’t stick together longer

Breeze hands down. Hopefully devs are working on it before we see it back in pro play

Nothing beats Optic vs Loud rivalry for me. And I miss peak yay

Has Cortezia been confirmed dropped? He performed well and I think Aspas performs best when he’s paired with an effective sentinel on this team

My biased top three VCT teams I wish could've stayed together based on the entertainment value of their matches and sheer quality of how each player and the whole team competed at their best:

1. Gambit (Nats, Redgar, Sheydos, Deffo, Chronicle)
2. Loud (Aspas, Saadhak, Sacy, Less, Pancada / Tuyz, Cauanzin)
3. Team Heretics (Reins, Boo, Woot, MiniBoo, Benjyfishy / Patitek)

What I would give to watch these teams play together again
