We need less maps like Ascent (very stale meta, one clear uniform way of playing the map that dominates at the highest level, also everything is wallbangable for whatever reason and the choke points are also tiny)

BUT

We need more maps designed with Ascent in mind (no agent is bad on this map, the sites have a ton of places to play on, and for the majority of the map spamming isn't the best way to go about things)

I agree in the sense that teams no longer need to rely on having one particularly cracked player on a dive duelist role where they need to get entry picks, often multikills, in order for the team to secure rounds. I believe we're past that point and that people on different roles can have equal fragging power depending on the agent

However I disagree in the sense that duelists are becoming "less prominent" in the game. I actually believe this is the opposite of the truth, as more and more of the game's duelists are being considered for the utility that they provide, such as Yoru with his information and fake potential, and that the duelist role is becoming much more diversified at the highest levels

Tbf you already made it further than Sentinels

My personal list is:
S: Pearl, Haven, Abyss
A: Haven, Split, Ascent
B: Bind

Name your lawyer

You only ever plead the 5th if it's true

A damp paper towel or a baby wipe or something like that should do the trick

Title.

The vast majority of threads nowadays are either hideous takes, pure brainrot, straight up hate, or the worst ragebait or interaction bait I've ever seen. Guessing this has to do with the actual fun people to talk to being focused on work or school and therefore not being around as often, but it's genuinely so annoying when there's literally no positive (or even semiformal) discussion at ALL other than a handful of off topic stuff and threads that start out trying to be normal but end up swamped by baiters and haters alike.

I'm fed up, man. Can we not even converse like human beings anymore?

Does it matter if they're a different kind of banana?

It's not everyone, tbf. It's a vocal minority

I'm surprised you don't have G2 in franchising in this case

My guess is fried bananas

Déjà vu. I've seen you make this exact post before

Women's esports is like most women's sports; it doesn't fall into the tier system. It's like asking what tier women's basketball is.

I really hope some teams shake it up a little. Maybe Phoenix in the extra slot, or Harbor in a double controller, or maybe a Fade + Gekko, or maybe even Vyse

I agree, I love green bananas

I'm not too bad myself https://streamable.com/ynugvk

Brother what 💀 astaghfirullah

No, what? Why

Ty

I had just gotten test marks back (they were below 90%)

I wake up at 6:30 dude

"the most upvoted reply by the end of today is officially the most hated user on this site. I’m planning on sending a formal report to the mods to ban the suspect also"

https://www.vlr.gg/post/4240330/most-hated-vlr-user/#11

...well? What are you waiting for? Send that report

Oh right

FENNEL was my favourite tier 2 team and their core got signed by ZETA so I'm repping their flair until Saadhak gets announced on KC, when is when I'll switch to that for probably the whole 2025 season

Fwiw you're right, this is generally the case. When there is a large group, people only tend to remember the ones that either stand out to them or are familiar to them or they relate with

Go to sleep, watch the VOD when you wake up

potter daughter because it rhymes

1. Chronicle
2. Munchkin
3. Primmie
4. SUYGETSU
5. f0rsakeN
6. something
7. Mistic
8. RieNs
9. JonahP
10. Derke

Bonus: if those are my two options I'm resigning on the spot

Ok then upvote this

Cypher not being able to do the one B seems a lot to me like if, for example, Viper's orb wasn't high enough to block vision from the window in Tube on Icebox. Yeah, it would suck, but Viper would still have basically a 100% pickrate on the map. This seems like a very similar case imo, where yeah, Cypher can't do the trip anymore, but he's still gonna be picked by (almost) every single team who plays this map

Gonna be blunt here: with the way the current meta is, no matter which agents are great/should be played on this map, the meta's gonna be Neon Sova Astra Cypher +1

My reason to watch VCT: LEV

I wonder why

Devs already said they're buffing her soon

Wym

Leo Faria will stop getting (a lot of) hate

1/4, and the only reason you get 1 is because it's literally impossible for 100 Thieves to not disappoint at least one person

This guy is the goat, dude. He's such a gigachad he streams without covering minimap

Hard to tell, but I have a feeling it could be KRÜ. Idk, next year's Americas kinda gives me 2023 vibes

This is the saddest engagement bait I've ever seen

Ok HBH here's your engagement

chiwa is the goat

The first three games are uploaded to https://www.youtube.com/@DailyValorantqq, he'll probably upload the others later

Valid tbh

Primmie's most played agent this offseason is Cypher but ok

If you're lining up the UI, then no. If you're lining up the crosshair, then yes

I meant post #1 lmao, as in the original post at the top of the thread or whatever the heck you call it

I don't have to. Read #1

Relatable

LOUD, EG, probably G2, and maybe NRG
