I’m not going to go into the macro problems they showed at Shanghai, between the poor spacing, trading, overheating, dry swings, and general lack of coordination.
PRX have massive role issues that result in a crippled map pool and individual inconsistency due to constant flexing.
Here are my proposed fixes:
-
Get D4v4i off Skye and put him on fulltime Sentinel/Viper. PRX lacks a dedicated recon Initiator and use Skye as a crutch, resulting in weaker defaults and a utility deficit. This commitment has the added effect of PRX lacking an anchor player on Breeze, Bind, and Lotus — their weakest maps.
-
Make Forsaken the Dedicated Recon initiator+Gekko and get him off Harbor because it’s a mediocre pick as a secondary smokes compared to Viper (Bind) and Astra (Breeze).
-
There are 2 options to address Jingg’s inflexibility.
-
Make Jingg Flexible and have him learn Kayo/Gekko to pair with Forsaken’s recon on Jett Maps. Something will play Breach/Gekko on Raze/Neon Maps. Works but it’s messy, especially if they want to pair Kayo with a non-Jett duelist. Examples include: Asuna, N4rrate, Wo0t, qRaxs, Zyppan, etc.
-
Role Swap Something and Jingg becomes the solo-hard entry. The easiest way to do this is to have Something become the full-time Recon Initiator+Gekko so that Forsaken can fill the Flash/Viper flex role. While this is more difficult, it would have a better long term outcome for individual consistency and form, reigning in Something’s overheating tendencies. This also allows Forsaken to flex Yoru and Neon.
