To be honest, I don't think they'd remove double smokes. Like ever. Mainly because just a viper wall alone is able to give you so much room to play with. I am not even close to decent igls but man the difference in comps when you play double smokes is crazy with just how much you can do to mess with the opposite team. While it makes the game very boring by making early round dead and most rounds are decided late to end round, I do think it increases the skill cap without having a broken feature like 5 astra stars.

I think most teams also know how viable double smokes are, I mean, mid control? Double smokes. Crazy fakes? Double smokes. Denying info? Double smokes. Getting into site with having one smokes dead? Double smokes. It is crazy how effective double smokes is, and it won't be taken away unless a feature that explicitly nerfs the concept of double smokes is added. Like, you cant choose 2 smokes in a comp, or two agents cannot smoke as the same time (no more omen smoke with a viper wall to deny info). However, going back to skye I think she plays a part in this as well lol. Skye makes choosing an initiator so brain dead. Running two smokes should obviously make your comp defense sided, but because you barely miss out with skye doing 2 initiators job in 1, you really dont need to worry. Most team comps run a solo ini (only kay o or skye), a duelist (must, thank god no duelist meta is gone). a sent (because defense) and two smokes (because you loose nothing).

Its not fair to run double smokes because skye just covers everything up. There needs to be a drawback for running double smokes and I don't think it exists right now, with the right team comp you don't really loose attacking or defensive rounds. Back when we ran double initiators on everything, mainly because of how strong it was on attack but defense there were issues. Exactly the same with double duelist, but with double smokes' weakness being covered another agent that makes wanting to have 2 initiators useless just eases the team comp.

Also, I think having a smokes like viper being able to play as a sentinel on site also makes it too easy to play double smokes with just 1 sent. Kj/cypher covers A, viper gets B and if there is a C then its retake/flood/playing numbers

Chamber and Astra meta was horrendous to watch. One made post-plants easy wins, the other made defense easy wins (well anything chamber with the right person was too strong). Val's meta is balanced because the really good agents aren't getting the "they need to be nerfed" shouts. For example, skye is simply too strong and needs to be nerfed, not exactly because she excels so much that everything else is miniscule (like chamber and astra), but rather she is too strong in her role. One reason why I think newer agents will struggle to enter the meta is because they are all essentially niche agents, they fit a stereotype or two, whereas the old agents from the game (some of them like skye) offer too much for a single role. You should not have the best heal in the game, 2 of the better flashes in the game, one of the only 3 controllable info unit, a flash that gives you a good amount of info and an ult that essentially chases more than half of the other team down; all into a single character's kit. The only time skye is ever replaced nowadays is on heavy dive maps like breeze/ascent to slow pushes down, and thats because kayo does essentially everything skye can do, just to a different level and works way better as an anchor. What they did to astra is probably the best change they made in valorant, that one change alone made the differences between smokes small enough for there to be genuine reasons as to why you should pick other smokes over astra.

Think having double flashes is great for them, especially because of how many walls and choke points they will inevitably have to pass through often

well you cant be asking casters to break down the clutch, thats what the analysts do later, fns has a great watchparty because he shares his honest opinions and insights or breakdown of the game, neither the casters can do, and as for energy, I find all of them to be pretty dead (at least compared to like football commentators) and the tenz example is pretty stupid lol

posted about a year ago

??? We heckin love tenz is a massive val joke if that is what youre referring to? There are many clips of casters criticizing him, I mean one on the top of my head is from Sen vs V1 I think, i dont remember on fracture, his ace on raze and the dudes just going "yea tenz has been bad on split and hit raze is shit but it doesnt really matter ig if he hits his shots" whereas zekken is constantly love bombed every 5 seconds, he deserves it though dude is great

I'll be real lol neither sacy nor pancada will be benched, they've both got 1 year left in their contract and are probably on higher salaries due to being import, sen wanna bet on them and they are good, players dont become shit in an year, especially if they are still grinding. Give the team + them some time, hopefully we'll see their championship form more often

posted about a year ago

I agree but also disagree, many T1 players are T1 quality but so are T2 players, its just really messed up, too deep of a talent pool but too shallow of a sink

nah sacy was on demon time last day they played against G2, just a bad day dude is great

I just smashed my TV in front of my kids because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. This team has ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye G2. I am no longer a fan.

NA T2 is really just T1 players that didnt get picked up, these arent academy or upcoming players idk why people are so shocked

posted about a year ago

I mean T2 isn't second grade players or upcoming players like what T2 usually is, because of franchising T2 is just the T1 players that just weren't preferred by teams to have in T1, the difference isn't that big and almost every player in T2 realistically is a T1 player mechanically, at least in NA (I only know about their T2, apac was one sided, Apeks and Mates were really strong tho)

he can only average 50% hs, he is just a washed player with inconsistent aim suks

that means sacy smokes then, no way they run a solo smokes on haven nowadays

no, pretty sure hs% calculation is done different in val so i dont think so; could be wrong

harbor didnt look bad imo, think they lacked a lot of proper comms that game and that lead to bad util usage

posted about a year ago

he really wasn't mid, he did his job well, hit his shots, got the entries, unlucky that there were always teams in NA that overshadowed NRG tho, like 2021 Sen, envy, c9, guard, optic, always thought NRG had a great chance at playing at a higher level if they fixed a couple of things up

I think sentinels will and have struggled on fundamental heavy maps like haven and ascent, whereas maps where more creativity is required is where they shine, which is really weird because youd assume a team that scrims a lot to be great at fundamental heavy maps. Plus this also leads to a map pool issue because deep into the season, most maps turn into fundamental maps because strats are copied and meta becomes obvious

can't believe the day came so soon when Id hear people shit on tenz for his AIM LMAOOOO, alright so first his game sense is ass, then his entry is bad, then his mentality is bad, then his util is bad and now his aim is bad I love this so much LMAOOO

The US and Canada don't have a system made to grow the footballing culture, instead of being handled as a way to grow in competitive sport strength and encourage more activity/playtime for football, it is just looked as a business for a majority of time, and when things are serious, you are asked for ridiculous amounts of money with the highest league given is usually mls

nah not an initiator, he can't help his team get on site that well, his best role would probably be as a lurking duelist

posted about a year ago

The goal is to make kj less prevalent and strong on maps where she is meta like ascent, but making kj worse would overall make sentinels worse so they need to buff the only rival kj has rn which is cypher
