justice for newzera

how does brawk get 2

me when the land of the free is actually just an autocracy (riot games controls everything)

??? what

also bro they went from iron to silver... i think there are bigger problems out there

don't worry i will dm leo faria to sort this out

I understand that, but I know plenty of people with souped-out gaming PCs that do play games for the whole day that are also not doing so well. I think people don't realize how much money they are being offered is. In some parts of the world, such as near where I live, $200,000 (10 thrown matches or so) is enough to buy a new HOUSE. Why would you not choose to do that? gaming PCs aren't that expensive compared to the money that is literally being thrown at them

I don't think you should be able to force talent to work on these projects, though. It isn't an official Riot event (they're basically just partnered).

i dont think this is 100% fair to say though, the money being offered to them (over the course of multiple games) is life changing money. A lot of these players also aren't adults, they're 16/17 year old teenagers. I agree that there are probably more than a couple people doing it for the money, but if you or your family is in a rough spot and someone offers you hundreds of thousands, why not take it? The changes of tier 1 are so slim, especially if you aren't a good player. E-sports as a whole isn't a sustainable livelihood, tier 1 or not

average saudi propaganda

oh huh i didn't know that

getting to t1 is too hard (especially in americas, where +vanity -vanity +vanity means no new talent actually gets signed)

yeah i think it depends on the situation
me personally, if i was a mid t2 player i would just make as much money as i can and then try to find another job

i think they're talking about the wallhack accusations all you can really say is their play looked "suspicious", matchfixing allegations are solid though

burger boyz, i hear they win every game

🤦

prx vs t1:

now that tottenham finally won a trophy, paper rex (tottenham of valorant) is guaranteed to win masters toronto

yeah but i feel like this happens fairly often, just noticed this while watching ambrosia/chets pets, marved was way too far away to do anything, should've just let the timer run out

yeah but you deny 900 for only 200

why don't teams spare enemy players if you win the pistol round? isn't it better for the economy to let them live?

if u say allat ur cringe btw

tw: allat

This is just a rant about why nerfing agents is bad for the game overall (specifically nerfing agents into the ground). While the different metas dominated by a couple agents have been crazy to play in, the way Riot turns good agents into unviable ones is detrimental for both the competitive and casual scene.

POINT 1:
One upside I enjoyed about eras of broken agents was the diversity of agent comps it allowed.
Consider Ascent; during three overpowered agent eras we saw some interesting teamstyles rather than the same boring meta comp

• pre-nerf skye: viper harbor ideas (which are pretty unviable now)
• chamber: triple initiator no duelist ascent
• tejo: yoru tejo vyse structures

I prefer watching games like these instead of the default meta comp. However, nerfing agents like Tejo so harshly means this structure is pretty unviable now and more teams will probably decide to return to the meta ascent comp. The absence of a good solo initiator now means double initiator team structures will become more common, and thus ideas like double duelist, double controller, and double sentinel will likely disappear.

POINT 2:
Pickrate =/= broken. Just because an agent is picked a lot doesn't mean they are broken. Some agents are plain good, and enable a variety of team structures that would otherwise be impossible. Omen has a really high pickrate; does that mean he should be nerfed? If Omen was nerfed, pretty much every comp would be TERRIBLE. Consider the following nerfs that I've made up to imitate how Riot nerfs agents. The descriptions are there to make it seem realistic—that in fact, I could see Riot releasing these changes

Omen:

C: Shrouded Step
Charges decreased 2 -> 1
Windup increased 0.7 -> 1 s
Equip time increased 0.5 -> 1 s

*These changes were made as we find Omen has overwhelming mobility options as compared to other agents both within and outside the Controller class. We have decreased the number of charges and increased the vulnerable teleportation period to force players to be more careful and conscious about the decision to use this ability, rather than the quick get-out-of-jail-free card it was previously.   *

Q: Paranoia
Velocity: 16  -> 10 meters per second (thus covering less ground)
Nearsight duration: 2 seconds -> 1.6 seconds

*Paranoia is one of the strongest personal abilities an agent has, so we've decided to decrease its duration and velocity to keep it in line with other nearsight abilities, such as Reyna's leer.*

E: Dark Cover
Cooldown 30 -> 45 seconds

*Compared to other controllers, Omen possesses significantly longer range for his signature ability. Thus, we've decided to increase the cooldown period on his smokes to offset this advantage.* 

Omen is gutted, and lets say we think he is so bad that teams stop playing Omen altogether. What compositions are even viable now? If you need a second controller because Omen just can't cut it anymore, the OVERALL SKILL CEILING of the game has decreased. You simply aren't able to do what you could before, because agents physically can't anymore with their nerfed abilities. Everyone starts playing Astra, and now fun reclears with Omen flash and aggressive teleport plays and clutches are no longer possible. Your team now has less overall tools, so now your team needs two of every character or else your composition will be bad at SOMETHING. Now, because you have to play double controller or else your smokes are unreliable, you have to forgo a sentinel, and now you have to constantly worry about mid. Or you decided to play single initiator sova/fade—oh wait, most initiators suck now, so now you have to play yoru or else you don't have flashes.

POINT 3:
This just hurts the casual scene. It's hard enough getting my teammates to comm. Now, the agents they play also suck. Good luck. Making solid agents is good because it enables players to use creativity and use their abilities to their advantage.

Also, nerfing agents makes players unhappy because they remember what it was like before. The Omen changes I made would make flash tp plays impossible, so now you have to win your 1v1 in a straight aimduel.

rant over

bro is clearly VERY vocal in the team and important to the overall gameplan for prx, comms show he's super important to vibes and calming everyone down

idk if anyone else thinks this too, but prx playing with mindfreak seems like they throw A LOT MORE

LFGGG JINX WORKED PRX WIN

i remember the video where he got antistratted by like a silver player 💀

yeah but like not the problem

bro had m0st0c on his team

enzo wasn't actually that bad

not arguing with how much burnout pros should have, all i'm saying is that top teams have complained in the past about burnout without an event like ewc and now they're adding another event

also not sure what you mean, first post seems like you are saying teams and fans should be happy with another event, but imo it's up to riot if they want to scale up to the size of csgo

yeah idk i still think boombot and satchels are super strong though

nade is also a solid ability

tbh i haven't actually heard complaints about lack of events during the season

i would agree with this take if ewc happened during the offseason, but this only seems like it worsens burnout (especially since the teams that win kickoff i.e. go to toronto also qualify to ewc), meaning they will likely play 2 tournaments in such a short span

FUR rglmeister

please i am begging get this man back into tier 1 he is so good (even if he goes to a horrible org)

i think raze is still the best duelist on sunset, and top 2 on lotus

the problem is you can play yoru viably on literally every map

she is still heavily underrated though her satchels are still super good, do hate that they nerfed her movement though

this sounds a lot like it was chatgpt generated. some tips i have are

• good bait is concise
• don't use proper grammar or the emdash "—"
• allat

overall 1/8

yeah idk i think it's just because it's associated with a no life game, especially with people doing all the cringe uwu stuff on youtube and twitter

also i don't know if it's just my elo but people who play the game seem generally miserable both in game and irl

chatgpt aah bait

i didn't know half of these players were on vct teams this must be new (besides comeback, gx duo, cyvoph)

is the acend core the ones going to koi?

i'm confused which league picked up 10 people mid season

ain't no way we're comparing assmolestia to jesus 🥀
