Real question : Why no deadlock in EU Radiant rank

Ranked ?

Everytime i open stream of an EU streamer i never see any deadlock whatsoever. This is leading me to think that they don't feel like they need to practice it because they dont even use it in scrims... Really bad news for EU

I'm scared. What if the astra and harbor situation repeats ? Where Our region doesn't think it's good then at international tournaments, other teams are using it and we don't know wtf is going on

Someone smarter than me, give me a valid answer....Is there any deadlock gameplay in NA ranked or nah ?

youre overthinking it

navi is guaranteed to be running deadlock in at least half of their comps :>

if u pick this shit character at soloq u would be flamed for generations. (EU server)

Reason is because NA has more streamers and we go for more content.

what he said and what you understood...

For the first few weeks of any agent release, all regions test them out. So you see a surplus of that agent played in ranked. Most high ranked players are quick to dismiss the agent if they feel they dont suit their playstyle unless they see some creative stuff cooked up in tourneys. Literally why harbor/viper became meta on pearl when it was vct. When pearl was released, Astra was the definitive controller, now it has gone back to it due to changes. Maybe in champs after some teams experiment with deadlock you will see more deadlocks being locked in on said streams.

Or just they have a main and are lazy to change it lol

Bro saying "NA streamers go for more content" means "Even if it's bad, we still pick that shit cause it means content"

So deadlock = bad since apparently deadlock = content.

Hope you understood my thought process now

the agent need a few buffs, especially with its trips
i feel the trips are better for post plants where people actually tend to make noise without checking for trips rather than lurks and backstabs, but for space denial and site defense its actually a great sentinel
BabyJ had an interesting way of playing it on his streams which leads me to believe teams like NAVI, PRX & SEN might sometime give it a shot in scrims before they do in officials

But NA pro teams were using harbor in scrims (they learned from LOUD), so the the NA pros were then using it in ranked since they needed to practice it to the max for their pro games.

That's what i expect to see in EU ranked. If it's used in scrims, it shows in ranked. If it's not seen in radiant ranked like almost NEVER, that means it's not in scrims. As pro players like to practice the newer agents that they're using in scrims in ranked, to get used to the agent to the max.

That's why i'm asking about regions' deadlock radiant ranked presence
