He's a good agent but only split and ascent IMO + People haven't figured out flash lineups either.

I do think k/0 is OP.
IMO It's just his position a little awkward,
He is initiator that have skill usage like a duelist.
I would say the team isn't using it because they still need more experiment with k/0 or they saving strat for berlin

seems pretty fine we have yet to see how T1 teams use him

I think it's because Skye and Breach are really strong in the current meta. Some teams will find use with him but he doesn't quite have his own spot. Honestly I think Skye is really overpowered right now and we might see a skye meta soon but who knows. We'll probably see more initiators played over time but some teams are still transitioning out of double duelist and they still are only running one initiator and running a sage along their other duelist.

Yeah, skye + breach is buffed.
And sova always top 1 initiator.
Seems no place for k/0 in near future,

I honestly think sova is slightly weaker than Skye at the moment overall. Just because of how viable Skye is everywhere but Sova just has some small weak maps(Split and Breeze). Skye doesn't have any weaknesses. I wouldn't be surprised if they nerf her even though her win rate will be low in ranked play because she'll be broken af in like 1 month or so.

Yeah, atm skill wise skye is better than sova.
But it's if you can use her, and there's a risk of team-flash if you use skye. And not a lot of people can use skye perfectly even in pro play.
Fyi I don't mean to trash them, but example is when fnatic team flash in final vs sen. It cost them a crucial round.
But on the other hand, sova is easier to use. 2 info gathering skill with 1 rechargeable. 2 darts for lineup, and the ULT is just too damn good.
So I think sova would still be more picked.

Yea but I think give it one month or so. Skye will be everywhere and rito will have to call the lumber companies to cut the trees to remove her habitat and nerf her back down to irrelevancy. I mean Fnatic usually are pretty good at skye on this map but idk I feel like those team flash moments will get much more rare over time. Also he was probably nervous honestly. Last round almost last map grand finals. If his hands weren't trembling and it's his first LAN I think so yea I think we should cut the dude some slack.

The bigger problem with skye is that no one plays her. I mean subroza does and stronglegs does. But literally not many Tier 1 players try to add Skye to their pool of agents and honestly that'll probably be their loss but no one notices that she's good because no one is experimenting with her enough. I mean some teams started picking up the skye but most teams just don't because who on the team would play it. Also subroza fucking lurks with skye lmao so it doesn't work.

Skye and breach already popular in KR since master 2.
I guess it's just different playstyle in na eu, that's why skye not getting picked a lot.

Kay/o isn't that good. When you put it on your comp, you have to remove it in another agent, but which one can you remove? With Sova and Skye you've been playing for months, Kay/o not an alternative for them

True NA does not use a lot of Breach but Skye pick rates have increased since the new patch. Now that Skye's flashes are rechargeable it makes her even better. However, Sova has an edge because he has one of the best abilities, the Recon dart and his ultimate is very good. Skye's Ultimate is good because it recharges with 6 points but it bugs out sometimes and gets stuck behind walls. Kay/o's knife and fragment are good abilities and his ultimate is useful to stop pushes but his ability to flash for the team is weaker than a Skye or Breach. Saw Kay/o being picked up by C9 and NRG as part of a triple initiator setup along with Skye and Sova in place of a sentinel today. I would really like to see his true potential being unlocked by some team.

I honestly feel like icebox is his best map - at least for me in ranked

Idk, Kay/O's main ability (the knife) is most effective against sentinel characters. Using it on Icebox doesn't seem like it would have as much impact as it would have on split and ascent (smaller and tighter maps).

He’s a new agent plus other initiators like skye and breach are still really good rn so he isn’t going to be played as much

Once people figure out flash lineups for him he could be broken as fuck. His knife is also really good for info.

his ult is bad tho, maybe increase its duration?

yeah also they should make the beams from it not show where he actually is because it's literally like a homing beacon
