no

better stats + team is winning + working well in system = better duelist in my opinion
if it was just better stats, then sure
victor last year was not better on jett because his stats were not only worse but he wasn't working well in the system imho even if they were winning
because icy checks all 3 boxes I can say he is a better duelist imho, even if he isn't as flashy or doesn't have "raw aim" as good (which I also think is wrong if you look at his peaks)

not the sole reason, but he's part of their system and playing the role and doing it well. he's still fragging solid enough to have better stats than some other players that haven't been criticized while also doing the role he was meant to do and making space for his team and doing what they need him to do to win. I think that means he's playing a better duelist in my book.

I did watch and he played a jett and raze that wasn't flashy and actually won his team the game.

icy had a better raze than oxy and asuna
better jett than oxy
better neon than victor and mwzera

and it's some of his first season and he's genuinely only showing signs of improvement

I think he's fine.

there are a lot of players who only play duelist, so singling out Jinggg is pretty dumb especially since he's on a team that allows it considering like I said three players on the team can flex. Also he does play main duelist.

jett, raze, neon: aspas, keznit, buzz, jremy, sayf
jett, raze, reyna: oxy
jett, raze: cned, t3xture
neon, raze: miniboo
neon, raze, sage: jinggg

he's at least more flexible than most in the sense that him playing sage isn't straight up throwing, some of the players listed have a map or two on other agents but in general are bad at them or it was a pocket pick. oh and also he does have quite a bit of Jett in ranked and some in pro domestic play with decent stats.

jinggg has a good raze and neon, sure his Jett isn't good but I feel like when you have 3 flex players + one who is crazy at Jett to take the role when needed, it really shouldn't limit the map pool much.

EDG/PRX

this forum is so funny man.
a bit ago everyone was crying that he had to retire, building it up as one of the most harrowing and depressing experiences in esports.
they were saying the best raze in the world is gone, one of the best players, PRX is over and that we will never have another jinggg.
then miraculously comes back and has a decent year, 1.13 in split 1 and 1.07 in split 2 and everyone shits on him for having one off game saying he's buttcheeks and calling him j0nggg
have you any shame?

pretty sure #16 is right after testing, and I am wrong
we can easily test if upvotes are a factor by getting (https://www.vlr.gg/379130/artemisz083-rebuttal-testing-thread) to #31 (30 replies, same as both of ArtemisZ's posts combined) and look at my stars since I will have no or negative upvotes, and compare to his alt.

I think you're right, it's based off replies to your posts as well as your own posts. just don't know why it doesn't say that when explaining how it works. it could also be off net upvotes, or a combination.

I'm making threads to test, but last time someone made a thread asking, the mods clarified yet again and it wasn't that long ago

my bad, but he made two original threads. upvotes or not I think that will give you a star and a bit.

replies are posts, and you gain the first couple stars extremely quickly. it starts getting harder the more stars you have. it's why the only bait accounts with 0 posts have 0 stars or people with stars removed

The stars a simple measurement of how active a particular user is on the forums. Stars are gained as you make more posts.

honestly this is true, people would be surprised how often you can get away with insanely dumb/random swings and get 1 or 2, or poppin swings when they start trying it

you deserve a T1 team, it's unfortunate the situation you are in and the state of Valorant. We would love to still have you here, good luck.

they can ban hardware pretty easily, it's been done in other games. Also, if this is still true info from TenZ, they take your gear and hold it until you play for stage matches. For example, if you have a Sora V2 you hand it over to Riot and before season/tournament starts and when your matches begin they give it to you before you head out on stage and plug everything in. iirc they check everything to make sure you aren't using any cheats injected via hardware.

banned in professional play soon hopefully (if not already)

luke warm, hard to say but I still think Leo is a better individual player. issue is that Leo can't flex to Sentinel which gives alfajer a lot more room to experiment and play new agents which I think is really nice for fnatic.

bro he is 0.83 rating 192acs on raze this season, he is the worst Raze in Americas he is definitely not midsuna he is assuna

everyone is missing the true problem
asuna on raze is assuna
asuna on initiators is pogsuna

yeah but what change would you make?
-asuna?
I think that's the only reasonable one, cryo has shown incredible peaks and talent on Jett and has gotten them through insanely hard matches and was nuts the first half of the year. Bang has been consistent this year, eeiu showed up 2nd half of the year and boostio's calling is clearly working well for the team. It's the only reasonable move you could make, I also think Zikz is doing a good job

edibles man, but mostly on CBD or CBN for sleeping.
if I want a nice treat every two weeks to a month, I do some THC and CBD ones.
smoking and vaping is terrible for you, I promise you smokers and vapers you can still enjoy getting high without killing yourself just take a month break and do edibles once your tolerance is lower.

even if you had an alternate link to get to the main page, if your school isn't dumb they'd also block every subdomain (for example https://www.vlr.gg/matches) so it'd be unusable. so you're gg'd my friend

steel needs to come home

you're right, just saw from looking at #4!
interesting, I thought the entire point of them not stretching 4:3 in-game was to remove it, I guess they've gone back on that

I think it was cender(?) who also seemed to be using true stretched
to my knowledge, it's probably just the broadcast stretching it

mrfalin moves to smokes
riens initiator
cned duelist
alfajer flex
hiro flex

riens
mrfalin
cned
alfajer
hiro

ez

I think removing one player who got moved to off-role due to heavy underperformance is pretty justified and isn't a re-build, which is why I just want to see -runner +hiro
but kicks for n4rrate as well is a bit too far for me

ahh. I mean yeah this roster would be very good but I like kicks so I'd rather them just remove runner for hiro and not get narrate and narrate to go to NRG (I am extremely biased though)

all good, a lot of people are shooting around "-LEO +HIRO!!!" but it's just people wanting it and being reactionary, it's not happening.

would prefer hiro as I think the roles line up better and he's a better sen than init
also kicks is very good on kayo and skye, just stinks on gekko, but is improving over time

hiro is only a sub until after champs, he is under no contract otherwise
meaning vitality on the offseason can pick him up

-runner +hiro
keep everyone else including kicks, get him more comfortable and drilled on gekko or just let him play more kayo
ez

rawkus twerking will motivate the team to win

lol so better than 90% of pro players, got it

source?

it's really sad, but I think he will get over it. he is extremely talented and he needs to just be confident in his own gameplay always

agree
