bump cause I don't like C9 but this is genuinely just so sad.

statefarm.com

Melanie "meL" Capone, al capone reincarnation

Cloud9 to international event LMFAO but also wippie to c9 could only be nepotism he wasn't what that roster needed ever

Pacific and emea games and then slop

thanks i got it for my birthday

hopefully not long

it gets to a point doesnt it?

...

immi is just there to be in LA at this point

people can't stand to see a selfless duelist giving fuckall about stats to help the team win since they're so used to baiters

im almost certain EG has more fans that C9 at this point im seeing full propoganda on VLR.gg 😭

thorns for stalling a flood/retake, it's just as strong as KJ mollies for site, I do think Vyse flash being total fucking dogshit on attack is really bad design tho.

Her stall is incredible and she's definitely not bad but I do think sage and Cypher encroach on her pickrate a ton

Vyse is still actually good but as #6 states as long as double duelist is meta (it will be for a long time... even with phoenix nerfs duelists have the best kit in the game) vyse is not worth playing when you can fast rotate and flood off of trip info - the reason it works is because it's unpunishable to play full retake on an easy retake site (think Haven C) and play full fast rotate to a harder site to retake (think Haven A) and get there in time to util dump and throw bodies at the site and stop the hit at the timing where it's too late to back away. This logic can be applied to pretty much every map since they're all designed this way, so until Phoenix is nerfed and flash Initiator is buffed the game is solved.

Quad DID!!!

THE WAVES FEEL LIKE BYE, BYE 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

PRX 3-2 LEV get their get back MVP: D4v41

I never knew south america was actually this easy to reach high ranks in, I wonder if I could hit radiant in brazil playing as an immortal in NA?

go watch cause they really need it. Send a comment as well cause they need the algorithm to know they exist

SOUTH AMERICA*****

everyone stream red light by kevin abstract and quadeca too that song is amazing

Not phoenix's fault that flash initiators are objectively horrible at their role compared to the most mediocre of duelists with his only gimmick being ult cycling. Gutting flash based duelists to make the initiators look more enticing is stupid, they both need to be good at their own things

never doubt riot's ability to kill innocent agents for years

Phoenix has 1 flash and has 8 orbs im calling it

Hope so cause me and my girlfriend are together love watching EG just cause she chose this god awful team to like

I'll go on a training arc until I hit radiant starting the very moment it happens. I'll post results biweekly until I get there.

Yeah you must have misread...

Yeah they are 😭

daine mentioned i FUCKING LOVE DAINE!!!! i need her to release that album right now

for me the one i have on repeat is MAKE IT RIGHT

opposite day today?

now that you say it primordium absolutely clears, i rock the knives any time i can

0.78

Nah. Get the sleep

Berlin glazer of all people is albert Einstein. Ok believable

12-9 with a timeout and 5 ults and we dont call a set strat and we don't use our OT timeout even though we're constantly 1 round from losing balright

What causes someone to not timeout during ot?

I can't do gca and prolly can't scrim until late late at night but fuck it if it happens LMK

I'm already on a team but what if I do it for shits and giggles

you NEED to watch the minecraft speedrunning one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLj0V8GTf-Q&pp=ygUSanVtcGVyd2hvIHNwZWVkcnVu0gcJCZULAYcqIYzv (this is the one)

BING!!!!! jumperwho is the fucking GOAT

I think that Omen vs. Astra was only held up by the fact that Astra actually had good pieces of util on her cooldown, whereas nowadays even with the 5th star back her supportive util is so weak that the gap has enlarged even comparing 2022 omen to 2026's omen. Omen was and still is busted, Astra just got worse over time, which feels like a huge miss on the game balance end of the game that astra with a fifth star still feels worse than 2022 Astra with 4.

Stun unification, suck nerfs, and cooldown nerfs made Astra's value drop further down than omen's did. She is horrible currently, Only viable as a 2nd controller on Breeze, whereas Omen should be played on all 7 in the pool. The thing is, Astra's combo utility was a lot more flexible and easier to come by in a given round in 2022, making her an actually good pick if you are fine with giving up Paranoia. But in 2026, 60 second cooldowns are punishing and her combo util doesn't last at all, and paranoia is still paranoia. This is why Omen vs. Astra was was more balanced back then, Omen provided one extremely strong flash and flexible one ways whereas Astra provided strong combo util, so specific team comps would actually see value with an Astra.

In 2026, there is no comp that benefits from Astra more than Omen in the map pool (with Summit). Whether it be because double dive is great and Omen supports that better than Astra or because Astra genuinely sucks dick and balls in 2026. She is rewarded with a 2.5 second stun for an astra stun, and the suck is only useful for post plant and the 1 second of stall. Her identity as an agent is objectively weaker, Omen has always been strong.

everyone knows how to play Astra because of how strong her kit was pre-patch 4.04. They just don't play her anymore cause a paranoia is worth like 3 astra stuns, even with the nerfs.

? Astra is just not any good compared to Omen on a vast majority of maps. I can give you reasons why there's a massive imbalance but it just comes down to paranoia and mobility of omen is stronger than every other option.

in 2022 Astra was stronger so Omen vs. Astra was a harder debate, nowadays it's a fucking wash and every single league in valorant's pickrate will support that argument. Realistically, Omen should have had 100% pickrate looking back. Remember when one ways could be placed anywhere? or how drop smokes weren't fully utilized yet? or how paranoia was like a football field long? with a 30 second cooldown? Astra suck every 45 seconds would never ever in a million years compare to what Omen was, and the fact the gap is LARGER now is a testament to how dirty they've been doing the controller class.

In no way is Omen vs. Astra more balanced right now, Omen is still 80% pickrate and astra is dead

I personally care about the viper changes because I have 500 hours on her, brim probably needs the second stim back

Sentinels were maybe not in a healthier spot overall back then but the duelists were not good enough to outright ignore sentinel util, so the gameplay loop was fine, although a little weak. Nowadays waylay can ignore everything, neon can run through everything, phoenix can break util and/or ult through it and senti util is pretty much useless outside of information around the map.

I know we look back on it now like "what about chamber?" But

-Omen vs. Astra was balanced
-brim was better in 4.03 than he is today
-Viper was broken but at least she was a playable character in ranked
-Sentinels provided more Information and were better at stopping the duelists (compared to modern day)
-duelists were at their prime, Raze was fun but still balanced, Jett was broken but got her initial nerfs this year
-Sova, Fade, Skye, Breach and KAY/O were all strong for their own reasons
Outside of Chamber/Viper being super good the agents were in a really healthy state for the time, nowadays it takes more than one hand to count the agents being neglected, or needing heavy reworks
