Are we excited for the upcoming KJ meta?

KJ is seeing a 70%+ pick rate in challengers and with her two worst maps leaving the pool that will likely go even higher. Thoughts?

and i bet kj will be good on lotus

imo kj takes way less finesse than cypher, you just swing off turret. Really boring to watch for me

ok but killjoy more mommy than cypher

ok but killjoy more mommy than cypher

thats a matter of opinion

I don't mind. I would rather see Cypher, but I don't think Killjoy is problematic outside of her ultimate. Chamber was fucking aids in so many levels that I don't think Killjoy meta will be even close as bad.

Atleast Chamber's kit was skill/aim based

Free out of jail card, trap and buffed Sheriff and OP skill based? Far from it.

Better then the chamber meta imo

cypher still underrated imo!
Great sentinel.

Not better than KJ tho so no one will play him, outside of a map or 2

Yes two of his util being just guns definitely makes his kit more skill based than KJ's lol

Is it fun playing KJ? Yes definitely
Is it fun watching kJ compared to chamber? I don't think so

Yes, a KJ meta is infinitely more fun to watch than a chamber meta.

KJ kit is easy af to play, but Chamber's kit was relatively easy and overpowered. His ultimate is arguably the easiest gun in the game to use with one shot kill and firerate. Also headhunter is buffed Sheriff with a sight aka not that hard to use unless you are really low rank. And when it comes to rest Chambers could just set up in angles and off angles with OP or rifle and just get a kill and tp away unless enemies used bunch of util or they decided to be cocky and whiffed. Risk free. So even though Killjoy's kit is easy she still plays like rifler/lurker/anchor instead of just holding angle with op.

I’m kinda shocked KJ is seeing so much play. Her lack of “global” presence compared to Cypher would suggest to me that she wouldn’t be favored on “big” maps like Pearl, Haven, and Lotus. Cypher also used to be decently popular on Split.

I guess her anchoring is more valuable to teams since she can sort of be left on an island a bit easier than cypher.

I mean cypher was played a bit on split so that will probably come back
