Screw the replay system, I guarantee when it comes out 95% of people are gonna use it once and never touch it again.
What this game actually needs is a reputation system, so you actually get rewarded for being a good teammate and be queued with other high rep players

this what u looking for
https://www.mercedes-benzarena.com/en/B-MainStage/

It was out a while ago, I remember seeing a clip a few months back of FNS admitting that literally the day they got double BLG'd they were told in the coach that him and s0m were cut

I recon TH could atleast beat FPX
im glad FNC is high but ibr I wouldn't have them above geng, there's an argument for below 100T too but im too biased for that

FUT have all the pieces, but I think they're just farming against some worse EMEA teams, their comps are very bad, I would be very surprised if their fundamentals carried them against international teams, their issue doesn't have a 'quick fix', and the turnaround time for them is certainly quick.

LEV on the other hand have the opposite problem which is much easier to fix (unless you're NRG lol), and they've had way more time to fix up. I also trust in the experience of their players.

?

forsaken is a great player, but this is indeed a crazy take

pretty good list, maybe I'd just swap FPX and T1, and maybe swap LEV with FUT too

this might be the worst bait ever

most people watch watchparties anyway tbh, the fact that (imo) the only S tier casters are missing is defo gonna have an impact on main channel viewership even more. Hopefully it prompts riot to put in some more money into hiring talent

homeland, shit goes hard

I dont reallyplay ranked as much anymore but kinda wanna get back into it, I peaked asc but I have no clue how
basically im asking how many agents I should know how to play, cause some people say literally play everything and others say play only 1 agent and dodge every game u get outinstalocked

derke not for any objective reason (although there are plenty)
but because I was a bronze jett one trick back in the day and saw that he was the top jett for EMEA in vct in reykjavik 2021

Not out of the question tbh, confidence goes a long way in team synergy

I think Chinese teams are gonna upset this event, they’ve been getting better and will have some high quality practice before and during the event so I think its defo possible for EDG to come like 3rd as a dark horse

wow, actually based

TH players are better than that, miniboo said in his tweet that they as a team decided to take the initiative to ask him not to play
also mini didnt step down for studies it was for his mental health I believe

actually saadhak could be a good igl too

redgar (fall off is real)

no regard for roles cuz of different metas

I think you don't have to blow up giants, you can probably just get rid of f1t and hoody and bring in some russian talent, there is plenty in t2 and even the possibility to snipe nAts from liquid if they have the money

for NA esports thats on the lower end I believe

flair disclaimer
reading through this there are some understandable critiques, you can subjectively not like their playstyle and stuff, but why does everyone find boaster annoying? Like I agree he is a bit childish at times, but personally I think its whatever. Like idk man my take would just be let bro be happy

own that guy (yukky one of the few SEN flairs who isn't a fraud)

idk what they claimed, but I think it is slightly better
like they brought in swiss for groups and made t2 actually viable

though there is defo room for improvement as everyone is saying

the way i kinda got over this was just to appreciate how much more valuable and significant my current life is to me, but i defo still have mini existential crises every now and again

I think they said that they'll promise to fix it for the 25-26 offseason so ig we'll just have to wait until then

make sure one of the first things you do is get the samsung magician software and get the new firmware for samsung ssds
there was an issue for a long time where you could lose a ton of capacity, or even the whole drive due to a software bug if you used it on the old firmware for an extended period of time.

I think there has to be a balance, right now I think we are too much on the output side. Also it makes each new agent less exciting if there's more and more, it will sort of become an expected thing instead of a cool new refreshing thing. Think of the battlepass, you expect to get one every act, that is how agents will become if they keep at their current rate of 2-3 per year

I agree, so far so good(ish)
but the more you add the harder it becomes to balance, fix bugs and update things like voice lines
and even right now we have 3-4 very bad agents with all of them being recent, and it seems we might receive another one after shanghai.
I'd rather they balance/rework what we already have before trying to add more

inspired by the delete an agent forever thread

The way I perceive Valorant is that one of it's main USP's is that it's a nice and welcoming game for people who are new to FPS games, but if they keep on adding agents with more and more obscure abilities it makes the floor way higher.

You can dislike the fact that riot have to cater to new audiences (examples such as smoke particles, cypher cam), but without it, but at some point the game will only keep a steady, loyal fanbase with little to no growth.

I think this problem is a lot worse in Valorant since an ability can be applied in many different ways (think gekko flash, and kayo flash, both have the same purpose but are very different on how they work mechanically)

think more of urself king no one is out of ur league if u try hard enough

people who dont understand that disagreements are normal.
what actually constitutes a healthy relationship (for me) isn't the fact that you disagree in the first place, but on how you work together to try and see each others differences, even if it results in a boring 'agree to disagree'

I thought he didn't want to compete as a player anymore? correct me if I am wrong

yes with that attitude

the same as before I was born, nothing really tbh

script writers getting lazy
2021 tenz sub to win
2024 yay sub to win

As much as I want to see a good heretics, continuing studying is the objectively right thing for him to do. At the end of the day if he doesn't want to go no one can force him

if u somehow managed to convince all of TH would this actually be possible under vct rules

wow that actually sucks, I think the format is partially to blame they defo messed up

yh fr, honestly if I was saadhak I would just show up to furia or mibr hq and demand they blow up their roster and give him full control

basically what u said but instead of removing victor, demon1
and for roles put ethan on perma smokes with victor to fill in secondary initatior/duelist/smokes (basically tenz/asuna treatment)
I think marved on sentinel would be good he's quite an adaptable player

I can't lie demon1 is going through it rn, he has shit going on in his life which is defo impacting his performance, imo he should take a break to sort shit out and support his gf and then come back stronger (maybe even on a different team depending how long it takes), besides that, I still believe in the potential of the rest of the roster, I think they need to get their coaching in order and create more defined roles

if chaadhak cant save them no one can

allat + glazing (+ potential schizo) warning

If by any miracle you see this, you are the goat. You are an award winning player, you've inspired thousands and your legacy will continue to do so for as long as val is relevant. There will always be bandwagoning haters who don't realise that they're talking about a human being while sitting comfortably behind a screen; despite the fact that you've put yourself out there on the stage making the effort to still compete, even after getting fucked by C9, even after having to move halfway across the globe, and even despite health issues.

Obviously I don't know you personally or anything, so this could miss the mark by a lot; but I think that there's a chance a player such as yourself can be in a slump, and see all these positive remarks and feel guilty over the fact that people still defend you despite recent performances, which probably would just create a negative feedback loop for your mental.

I want to make it clear that despite all this glazing, I don't want to put any pressure (like the scenario that I've just outlined). You can retire, you can come back and surpass your peak or even go -20 every series for the next 3 years; all I ask of you is to know you'll always have people on your side and to have more confidence in yourself, the only way we can know about your confidence is through your gameplay and through your posts and with the latter being infrequent (not a critique, just an observation), it leaves us with really only one avenue to speculate.

You will always have fans, regardless of performance.

Be it whilst you're backed into a corner or out in the spotlight. There will always be those who are against you, and there will always be those few who earn your trust and stab you in the back the moment you turn. But always remember there are those who will stick by you no matter what. I'm sure you already know all this so just to cover my ass I'm just gonna say this post was probably more for me to vent a bit after seeing all the threads on the topic.

tldr: I am a fan of both y0y AND yay and I'm sure there are many others who are too.
