Everything is viable. It's all about the creativity behind the use of the abilities in combination with others.
The bar is so low for everything. Memes or death in all the things.
Wow! Potter stopped coaching to play in a tournament? Crazy!
Fun fact: Confirmation bias (also confirmatory bias, myside bias,[a] or congeniality bias)[2] is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values.[3] People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, emotionally charged issues and deeply entrenched beliefs.
Too many students try to go the originalist route when the basis of their questions are formed through populist opinions with intended results in mind.
I watched the video and was able to do this the next game đ˛

The standards are just so low... and you and most of this community will never know any different. There used to be actual commentary about the state of the play. Not just reactions and literally telling you what is on the screen in front of you.
its crazy we live in a world where someone tells you they are actually stupid and because their mainstream they are considered cream of the crop... we should really try to put sticks in to a piece of shit and tell everyone how knowledgeable it is... 20-1odds says we can convince them the shit is coach of the year for valorant.
bald man plays pokemon all day and gets boosted to diamond. L take.
how famous I am... Just casually looking at this random thread from reddit...

Someone asked for drama on vlr today...
Thought of it and want people's opinions about it
I recently finished reading âThinking in Systemsâ by Donella Meadows and for fun thought I would apply it to Valorant, VCT and esports orgs using the âshifting the burden to the intervenorâ discussion.
Instead of writing a long drawn out 20 page paper, I want to shrink this into something hopefully readable. I know a lot of people wonât engage with this post and thatâs fine. Once again, my targets are the few who do and who maybe are not in a position today to do something but in the future, maybe.
I believe that we, in Valorant esports, have a âshifting the burden to the intervenorâ problem. This idea goes like this, there is a problem, team underperformance. There is a quick fix, switching out a coach or players. And a fundamental solution, something that takes longer, which in my opinion, is building on fundamentals and doing the boring stuff.
The boring stuff takes longer to learn and the system (Valorant esports ecosystem) always has a quick fix in the name of players or coaches to swap in and out. This even exists at the academy level where we are trying to develop the future of Valorant esports. The boring stuff is not an endless calendar of scrims. It's not comparing this game to magic the gathering or chess. It's diving into the mechanics of the game and using those mechanics to produce interesting results. This game is more than the agent select screen. We can break this boring loop we find ourselves in.
This loop looks something like this, Team A, underperforms over the course of a season and doesnât place well internationally. Despite giving the team ample time to âfigure it outâ, they donât. The organization feels they have only one option, cut players and find new ones. Another round of a season goes by and the team still underperforms. The organization feels they have only one option, they cut the coach and the cycle continues. This has been the last five years of our lives.
The fundamental path of leveling up teams cannot be explored because the franchise system is closed. An organization has a certain subset of people that have the experience to be âtrustedâ in these positions. These people participate in a talent carousel that drops them out of the system and a couple years later pulls them back in. The organizations claim to create super teams from outside talent but then over time when it shows to be false, they quickly dissolve and we are distracted by new players from Ascension.
The fix is to attack the fundamental problem. This problem is there is no exploration outside of the system because the system is closed. There are no discussions and there are only echo chambers. We believe only tier 1 has the answers yet we have had no progression. We still have the same things happening in every game. No one is willing to try new combinations of agents or develop new paths to gunplay unless they are shown to be successful. But there is no opportunity for new successful combinations to be displayed. We have roster moves that are always safe and predictable. Coaches are rewarded with additional time when blame can be shifted away from them and towards the players. Everyone is aware of the loop and is constantly worried about the loop.
Just like Riot promotes causes like inclusivity, this needs to be expanded to capture more of the community. There cannot just be one initiative to get the community involved. There needs to be more open tournaments for everyone who wants to participate that goes beyond online.
Historically, in tactical FPS games, online was never the final destination. It was the space between LAN events. If we have more Riot endorsed tournaments, a wider net will create more potential than the carousel of talent we currently have. Counter-strike built a generation of players that then passed that love of the game to their siblings who carried the torch and still play to this day.
The house is on fire, the system is broken, we cannot be reliant on the same fixes for the next five years. We need to wake up and smell the smoke, see the fire before we are only left with ashes and the next game that will repeat the same mistakes.
Thank you for attending my TED talk.
what is patient? like the first guy who gets the zombie virus?
Umm update? This is taking more than an hour?
0-2 on good opinions. unfortunately we are judged on our wins and losses fam.
That's a good question. But when you're making 8x on your money, who cares.
Too bad, you could have made $800 dollars on $100.
You think 808 and heartbreak is #2? Who hurt you?
I can buy boosting services on Linkedin? Please tell me how in 5 easy steps
Imagination.com
You can 5 stack to radiant... your argument is invalid. Rank is just a matter of networking or having enough money to buy boosting services.
Better than typing out morse code because you tried shit talking a team and they ended up winning?
That's false. Every person who as amassed wealth made a decision at some point that was genius even if at the the time they were unaware of it. Just give up. All your heroes are rich.
One of the biggest threads on this website proved that no one knew what a table of contents was...
As a society it's desperately needed. Statistically most people on this site are illiterate.
Remember this game?
Clearly. People with money are in the best position to make determinations about value. They have accumulated it all.
The system is designed to freeze the rank distributions. It makes two determinations on whether you win or will lose. Educate yourself on the Riot matchmaking patent. It's free to read.
Someone with money thinks it's worth something... my book that makes it valid.
Morse code
Why lie when we are judged by are wins and losses
You know I'm game...
Do we wanna talk about how VLR is straight simping for Elevated and Anderzz?
Would you classify this sort of video as a "news report" on the state of the game? If so, good video. But for analysis, it's more about answering why the win rate or pick rate is this way. Would love to hear more why you think they are the way they are.
The snippets of music go by so fast when you inspect too... They should run the entire song.
I can't tell if you are copying and pasting this... or just don't know it was 115 pages... You just said this like 2 days ago...
@mods can I can get a ban on this kid for poor content.
