and trace was by far the most dogshit team in masters bangkok and they are probably the 2nd best team in china lol,all other teams than edg get farmed

yea he has been terrible internationally for a while every other game he just plays like a dumbass lol

raze,neon,yoru and jett all have better kits for making plays than waylay,shes one of the worst agent releases in a long time probably on par with pre buff iso

shes useless on defense outside of taking control with a util and trying to get a pick or retakes,on attack u can probably do some cool stuff but shes just not better than any of the other meta duelists like yoru,raze or jett rn idk if any good teams are playing her

bro how are people saying this agent is good here anyone with a brain can see she is dogshit,shes legit only better than like phoenix and reyna out of all the duelists,the dash is useless for anything other than entrying on doing some early round set play on ct side,the stun is okay but very situational,and the tp ability is basically the only consistent part of her kit u can utilize in most situtations

as i said all 3 of the polish players can easily be replaced none of them are that good but patitek needs to play better for sure

yea its a risk,but its a necessary one if they wanna become better cause they desperately just need a bit more player quality

maybe its a team dynamic thing,patitek has a lot more experience and vibes and he is still a solid initiator if he can just play a bit better individually,its not a bad move to kick anyone of the 3 polish players they were all inconsistent af

cause hes too young

stewie2k played val consistently for like 6 months and went straight to igling with a random mix team with semi retired pros lol

thats litereally what im saying,ability based shooters always have this problem and its really hard to maintain balance and we are seeing it rn

true but idk about all this,the way i see him and his mom interact is just funny like u can tell his mom has spoiled the shit out of him and never been tough on him lol

this was a concern valorant has always had,people always said this game is gonna become cancer in the future when people get better at util usage and theres too much util to account for,valorant is a round based shooter with guns its different in games that are 100% utility based like overwatch

u guys really confuse wanting to look like a good person with having empathy,i completely understand some people may find it offensive because of its negative meaning,but u dont get to tell someone they are a bad human being or to shame them for using the word in a completely different meaning and with ur friends like zellsis did,people making it a massive deal and giving it more attention probably makes it worse for the people that would actually have a reason to get offended over it because they have a higher chance of seeing it and now its connected directly in to them by people who dont even represent them lol

because as u said cs is the bigger game in eu by far,while in other regions its valorant

the controversy of this incident is caused by relatively normal chronically online losers on twitter,hope this helps!

if they were first derogatory and then became medical terms thats even worse lmfao,nobody has been affected by this entire drama kpop fans on twitter lol

shes Vietnamese lol

i wish the pros and orgs would just ignore these people i cant believe we actually value the takes of dumb 16 yo teenager celebrity worshippers enough to respond to them and make a big deal

there is no "current connotation" retard means stupid or dumb and thats the connotation that people think when they use the word,how do u think the words change because people USE them in a different way,retard DOES not exclusively mean a person with disabilities it also means someone who has low intelligence words have many connotations depending on the context,do u not see how stupid this topic is when people will always think of new words and use them in different ways and then they get a "negative meaning" and the cycle just goes on pls worry about something else

can u ask them if are they ok with people using words like moron or idiot,if yes then truthfully tell them they were previously words to describe mental disability too so remember every time u or someone else uses words like imbecile,moron,idiot,cretin they are actually using ex medical terms for people with mental challenges turned in to a derogatory terms for describing stupidity,do u see how nobody cares about the "history" of those words because society can move on and shift the meaning and connotation of words so it slowly loses its original meaning thats how language works

hiro was literally good on fnc ur smoking crack

nobody is "attacking" people who are already suffering u fucking MORON,u are trying to make them feel attacked when people who use the word dont use it in that context

ur comparing insulting gayness to insulting someones intelligence lmaoo,u people who try to make the word retard about disabled people are making the word more offensive than the people actually using it,i just gave u countless words that were originally used in the same way as "retard" and they dont have that connotation because people werent telling u theres some hidden insult against the disabled when there isnt so now those words have evolved past their original meanings

"homophobic slurs" and a synonym for stupid is not the same btw,retard is not a exclusive slur targeting people with mental disabilities as i just showed in the previous reply, its a term also used in the same context as moron,imbecile or idiot,basically any derogatory word describing stupid in some way,u guys have just latched on to this one word because its the the new trend to be offended over without even knowing the other words share the exact same history and backround but arent considered offensive by anyone in todays age because nobody told u they were used as a "slur" against a "marginalized group" hence no one cares when someone says "moron" or "idiot" nowadays. Funny how words only mean something when U give power to them

im saying that in a few years "disabled" will be considered "offensive",u people who word police and think ur fighting for some grand societal cause are literally like npcs stuck on a loop,a old word for the same thing isnt considered offensive because the new word that was made to replace the original offensive word is now the offensive word this shit is just too funny lol

lol the funny thing is that "idiot" and "moron" was the equivalent of "retard" before it got a negative meaning,predicting "disabled" is going out of fashion in a couple years

half of these arent even dramas lmao

i dont think u read what i said lol,words can have different meanings in different context,i reaaaaaally doubt the people u work with care about what word someone uses when describing something stupid,i think its u who cares because u associate the word retard with disabled people so every time someone says it u think its the same as "u act like a disabled person" when it doesnt even mean that anymore,u cleverly left out the part where i said are words like idiot and moron acceptable because they have the exact same history and they were the actual slurs for stupid people when "retard" was a completely neutral term

"In typical usage, retard is a pejorative term either for someone with an actual mental disability, or for someone who is considered stupid, slow to understand"

"Retard was previously used as a medical term. The verb "to retard" means 'to delay or hold back', and so "retard" became known as a medical term in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to describe children with intellectual disabilities, or retarded mental development.[5] For context, until the 1960s, the terms moron, idiot, cretin, and imbecile were all genuine, non-offensive terms used, including by psychiatrists, to refer to people with mental intellectual disabilities and low intelligence."

"Much like today's socially acceptable terms idiot and moron, which are also defined as some sort of mental disability, when the term retard is being used in its pejorative form, it is usually not being directed at people with mental disabilities. Instead, people use the term when teasing their friends or as a general insult.[12]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retard_(pejorative)

and fut still remains the only decent turkish team in the game lol

somebody whos stupid or slow,im pretty sure the word impacts soft people like u more than the people who actually qualify as formerly known "mentally retarded".The slur connotation of retard is not the only meaning the word,a moron or a idiot literally means the same thing and im sure people who had learning disabilities used to get called that too but they are still fine apparently,wheres the line of whats considered so "offensive" u need to apologize for saying it lol

retard doesnt mean intellectually disabled anymore and its not used in that sense by anyone,its a synonym for just stupid at this point,the word can be used in many ways depending on the context,calling someone with a disability a retard is for sure offensive and disgusting but the word has evolved past that,sure in a ideal world nobody would ever say any mean words no matter what but its pathetic trying to mob up on someone for saying something so small in a clearly non offensive context

u will get the bait one day bro just work hard

bump to remind how we dont acually need to deal with these majority "female fans" !!

exactly,i dont understand what type of threat do they actually propose to someone who doesnt care,ardiis is a prime example,he says "offensive" shit all the time like his beef with brazil and then they make some think pieces about him and mald under his tweets but in a couple months nobody even remembers it

funny how when people were talking about "kpopification" and these types of "fans" a few days ago i was told i shouldn't care because u dont need to see them or interact with them but somehow they again make saying retard a big enough deal for a actual pro to apologize

i would care if someone used it in a mean way to make fun of mentally disabled people,saying something or someone is retarded is just a synonym for dumb the term mental retardation is not even a real medical term anymore and nobody associates that word with intellectually challenged people expect these twitter people

yea this community is actually so pathetic

as someone who follows both valorant community is way more terrible,cs fans are braindead sometimes but valorant is just straight up weird

being a retard is more respectable to me

100% lol,sadly riot core audience is chronically online

this is legit the first year in tier 2 where u have good teams lmao

yea but the talent just isnt that good,only heretics,kc and vit have good enough teams to compete i believe liquid was 100% a fluke run

emea val was bound to fall off,how can emea compete when cs is still so much more popular,all the other regions have invested everything in to valorant while EMEA hasn't

yes for sure

if u struggle with consistency and not feeling comfortable when aiming 1 thing that unironically helped me was playing with a bigger crosshair for a while,for me it was easier to do consistent micro adjustments and ch placement when i dont have to focus on the middle of my screen as much then when u feel confident in how to move ur mouse consistently u can switch back to a smaller one

bro this team is the favorites to win ascension and they are almost getting dominated vs "enterprise" with 4 washed players congrats on the win tho the come back was nice,a lot of hero plays in classic turkey fashion

what a pussy lmao

what a achievement for turkiye

congrats to turkey for winning the "best imports" trophy! U have by far the biggest and most passionate valorant scene in europe what a surprise u produce the most talent per country when basically everyone else is still playing cs in europe lol
