It was my favourite skin in VALORANT back when it came out, and honestly might still be... my friend bought it for me as a gift in December 2023—it was my first skin, in fact

My two usual setups are black/gold with the Harbor buddy and red/green with the gimbap buddy. :)

Also this goes without saying but Sentinels of Light Phantom slander will not be tolerated

I see Realm3098, I downvote

Singularity

Waiting for Terminus A Quo 🫡

Only other skin I'd buy is Overdrive Stinger. Don't have a screenshot ready but I'd use the pink variant with the Octobuddy from the Champs 2023 event pass

I've heard people call this roster a few things, but a budget roster isn't one of them

LOVE the setup (especially both your rifles)

This seems fun, will share mine :)

I like rambling :3 especially about comp theory

Lemme watch that vid and get back to you (prolly won't get to it until tmrw)

I appreciate the vote of confidence but nah

They just won Tixinha how is that the one good thing they have lmao

😭 I'm peak gold 1

Sorry to disappoint ig

How is heat being a hard carry a good thing about FURIA?

I'm going to hear about this forever, aren't I 😅

Very interesting comp! Trying to think about this generally since I'm assuming you see this comp working for all maps... what's your idea behind this? I like Gekko and Tejo in the same comp, but I don't see Omen and Astra both fitting into this lineup—you're gonna have to sell me on that. What's your vision behind no sentinel? And if it was up to you, which duelist would you run with this?

Tejo is an initiator bro

50 hp on that thing

Fully agree with everything you just said

Before dignan joined there was only me and you and you're better at the game than I am

The few premium skins you have are great, and you definitely have good taste with buddy matching (the LEV buddy goes well with the Vandal variant, the epilogue buddy ties nicely with the star on the ghost, and literally anything black and red goes with Red Recon). Your title goes nicely with your player card as well. I will say I'm not a huge fan of your sprays because most of them are niche and you only have one you can use midround. Also I do believe there have been much better battle passes for you to buy—the one with Comet and Cloudweaver was especially nice.

Overall 7/10. Definitely a solid budget collection, but it could've been better 👍

I think Prelude to Chaos Vandal is better, but Primordium does have the better Phantom and I don't think you can argue that

G2 have the best trailer lmao genuinely found that entertaining

Allez les violets? Idk, it looks great but I don't vibe with it for Karmine Corp

Idk if Lothar is acting stupid for Twitter engagement but I think he's smart enough to know you can basically cover the entire tp with one molly so why not just do that instead

One molly, 50 dmg per tick
Ult is 9 points to match Breach

The full orange is lowkey fire

What I love about Tejo is the fact that YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY SEE TEAMS RUN A TEAM COMP THAT DOESN'T HAVE ONE OF SOVA OR FADE IN IT (excluding Gekko/Skye or solo Skye on like Bind or Split)

That's not relevant to your point

and how did having cauan and pancada go for them in stage 2 (with Saadhak mind you)

This is what I'm responding to

"tuyz is meh" is a crazy thing to say

Ok no I'm not standing for this slander

Of course they did poorly. They had Saadhak on duelist, for crying out loud

This feels targeted 🤕

I don't remember exactly—all I really remember is he has a direct connection to Mexico. I think he also has a slight Mexican accent, though I might just be imagining it

(Please don't answer if you don't know, thank you!)

From what I've been seeing, when you deploy your E ability, there is a sort of trail that flies off from your location toward where you placed the nade, and then the nade starts detonating when the trail reaches it. I haven't seen much but I have noticed the trail doesn't go through walls—it takes the same sorta pathing that a Skye ult, for example, would take.

Let's say you're on Bind. You're playing in Lamps, and you wanna send a nade over to Hookah. Would the trail have to go all the way around the map? And would that mean the nade is detonated later? (i.e. does being farther away from where you want the nade to go affect how long it takes to be set off?)

Gekko's is the most well-known but we know the cities of some other VALORANT agents as well. Off the top of my head, Cypher is from Rabat and Raze is from Salvador

Then there's Omen and Vyse who are unknown, and KAY/O who's not only unknown but also from an alternate timeline

Wait I didn't even notice that :(

China has 2 (Sage + Iso)
USA has 3 (Brimstone + Viper + Gekko) and Mexico has 1 (Reyna), though you could technically consider Gekko Mexican (he's from Mexico but lives in Los Angeles so he's considered American)

I think they're like Skye flashes with the cooldown, right? Where you one back after 45 seconds

Honestly, it sucks that all the player cards are the same because they were genuinely very very cool last year. But at the end of the day I'd rather have a sick classic skin than a sick player card, if given the choice

CN bundles didn't have player cards nor banners last year. It was just the classic and the buddy

Ohhh that's what you meant

Also damn FPX and TYL look sick

Idk about you but the idea of deploying nades like a Brim smoke is kinda crazy to me

Source?

I got that kinda feeling from it as well yea, though it could just be that it takes a second to pop or whatever (kinda like an aftershock or Astra util) so we might just be seeing them move out of the area of effect

Never mind I misremembered the clip

It might be a molly but it might be a simliar thing to Meddle. I couldn't tell from the one clip. It kinda seems to me like a vulnerable, at least intuitively

Bir gözü açık uyumak

Reyna is from Mexico, yes (Gekko as well, he's Mexican but lives in LA)

Mexico isn't South America

???

Isn't it funny that have two South American agents and they're both themed around explosives?
