Do you find Valorant Twitter entertaining? If not, why?

Can't really speak to what JohnQT actually thinks. Just assuming. And I see a couple assumptions poking through your response.

Just telling you what I see when I look at the fact that JohnQT produces more damage and eliminations in an aggressive role. You can see it in the stat lines.

Plus the original question was strictly about roles. I just added my thoughts to it based on the data.

Similar sort of idea. N4rrate can produce in the duelist role but has been playing initiator.

Sample size is on the small side but you would expect the more games they play the more they lean towards the averages for all duelist in the league. For me, first kills is usually a good indicator of an understanding of your role. A little more impressive when a smokes players has a good ratio.

I think overall it's just really hard to recruit in VCT. Most of the players who are considered good came up as aggressive jett players and then were forced to flex.

No you're not tripping. They have been playing double initiator. I think that Zellsis got/wanted the assignment of Vyse. I think this opened up the possibility of JohnQT going to Initiator.

I think a lot of people know JohnQT as a Cypher but he came up as a Jett player and if you go back in his match history you can see where he played Jett for certain teams. He's also got a bunch of hours in ranked beyond the sentinel role. Maybe he's bored and sees double initiator as an opportunity to flex more.

JohnQT -> Sentinel -> Initiator
Narrate -> Swaps Initiator with JohnQT between maps
Zekken -> Duelist
Zellsis -> Sentinel
Bang -> Smokes

Alright... I've got a theory.

Zander has the hard assignments. When you look over the film, he's often left alone or has a weak support player that ends up dying before they can help. The trio everyone loves will be aggressive and if they are playing poorly, they often leave Zander 1vX and in his original defensive spot. He plays much more reserve than the rest of his team. And it's usually the correct play outside of some misunderstandings around effective distance of certain guns.

I found something that I only I will think is funny. Zander is a smokes player. As a general rule, when playing smokes, you use a phantom because there are no tracers and you can spam through smokes and get lucky kills (or minimap, just basically inconsistent kills).

Well looks like Zander loves the Vandal and picks it 2:1 over the Phantom. That's a performance debuff.

Ultimately, I think Zander is being put into a system and given rules that run counter to his playstyle. But I think he's a sold rifler and so its hard to see when he's coming up with random 2ks and 3ks in near impossible situations and getting traded.

I low key thought I had an answer for this. But I just went back to the data and I was wrong...

You just gave me something to do... thanks

Narrator: He didn't win these.

The more that I look at it...

I'm sliding JohnQT to sentinel, Bang to Initiator, Narrate to Duelist and you scrim Zekken on ipad smokes with Zellsis as fill duelist. You find something where Zekken feels that he has impact in the later half of the post-plant or round.

If you look at their all time stats, these roles produce the highest First Kill to First Death ratio.

posted 3 months ago

Zekken is taking most of the first engagements which I think worked in a time where there was a lack of utility and repetitions through scrims and matches of the same comps. Imagine if you protected Zekken, not through utility but put him deeper into the stack. The closer you can get him to clutch situations, the more rounds you're going to win. He can't be a sacrifice.

If we are calling the duelist the player who has to take the most risk then give that role to Zellsis. I would rather have Zellsis take a 50/50 than someone who can 1v4 and statistically tower over the other players on the team. And look JohnQT I'm not calling you a baiter but I think we can both agree that Zekken in that last person alive role is going to convert more rounds.

If you disagree and we keep Zellsis on Sentinel, he has to learn in this meta people are hunting him in defaults. There has been a crazy rise in 3-player pushes on the extremities. This is where we find Zellsis. Imagine if you played more passive and more for information. Imagine 8 more chances by playing for info instead of the eliminations.

Yeah...

This started with... you reading it and giving a review of it...

Then it was the truth is straight forward...

Now it's that the truth is not straightforward but when you're caught in a situation its hard to hide it...

You're exhausting. Pseudointellectuals need better hobbies.
