Who is the worst player in franchising?

Been a while since I thought of something like this, idk ive been kinda hung up on some silly shit and I just wanna bring in a normal discussion for once

Only now do I feel like we can actually know who’s the worst player in tier 1 since the VCT year is almost ending, and I feel like we have some clear nominees.

Although even though I said “nominees”, imo there’s a single player that blows the rest out of the water when it comes to being bad, like completely out of the water.

Since I’m not a hate mongering person though, I won’t just blab out their name obviously, because that would be disrespectful (also sorry for the weird formatting here, getting used to making my posts more clearer to read).

There’s a lot of factors to what makes a player “bad”, but I feel like the biggest factor would be how badly they anchor the rest of the team.

Even when their teammates are performing super well, a truly bad player would make up the difference by being terribly and consistently awful, and this difference making shit becomes more apparent when the teammates in question are world class level.

Right now there’s a player that perfectly fits this description in my opinion but again, I won’t be rude, so I just wanna see what kinda player you guys are thinking of so I know we’re on the same page here.

Boaster

Might be in the worst form in VALORANT history

I'll say it for you, Boaster.

He needs to stop igling and go make a kpop dance group instead, better talent in it.

boaster needs to do 50 dms/day

LAKIA + C0M + NET + STARXO + KOLDAMENTA + ENZO + MISTIC... there's way too many useless players to even mention

B0aster. Being a fun guy is the only thing keeping him around

First letter of each paragraph

Newzera, any player from KOI, Lakia maybe.

You can make a shortlist of some pretty bad players. Technically, PA1NT and Shahzam are two of the worst - and I know that's based on one performance, but it's a technicality they are franchised players. But if it's players still currently signed to an org, yuran from ZETA Division has to be among the biggest flops. I remember seeing the video with him and other Pacific rookies thinking he might improve a lot and live up to his confident claims. But no, he has been severely underwhelming and possibly the worst player in all of VCT Pacific. Some people might say yay's season was very bad and that's true statistically, but there are a myriad of reasons as to why he's still not a bad player, but just on the wrong roles. The game has changed since yay was the Chamber GOAT.

In Americas, it looked like havoc was possibly one of the worst players. Consistent weak performances, but he bucked up in the end. MIBR had some stinkers too with frz and jzz, but I would have to say one of the worst players in this franchise league is G2 icy. Yes, he went to two LANs, got 3rd place at Shanghai and 2nd place regionally in Americas. However, I would say that success is more attributable to valyn's impressive calling, JonahP and Leaf dominating maps and Trent being clutch in the most unlikely of moments. Icy has been probably one of the most jarring duelists to watch since he doesn't have the same cracked out aim or raw mechanics. He depends more so on stall play, chip damage and playing with the team. To me, this is more of a sentinel's playstyle. Icy has had, at best, good performances and, at worst, been the losing condition. When his util doesn't do any of the work, you see the real icy. He's still a far cry from one of the best rookies. And this claim might be tough to accept for a lot of fans.

EMEA, it's difficult to call. A lot of teams were close to playoffs and got wins off each other. Despite long claims that EMEA is a one-team region, I think this season has shown the fire of the teams playing. But if I had to say who has been the most frustrating players to watch: Mistic, TakaS and possibly Ange1. I'll start off with Ange1 and say that his IGLing this year has been so confusing. Constantly switching roles, going for unnecessarily crazy plays and overcooking when things matter the most. NAVI could have had their revival with their FPX roster reunion, but they squandered so many matches in Stage 2. This might look like unfair blame on Ange1, but he has stayed and the issues of NAVI persisted after a coach change. Mistic has had so many lacklustre performances. He may still have some good maps, but I just constantly saw that he rarely did much of value for TL. And sadly it was Jamppii getting the lion's share of blame despite having to flex roles. Mistic just felt so unstable. Enz0 also for the longest time was terrible. But I think he is simply not suited to the IGL role. TakaS - this one might be a more personal gripe since I wanted M8s to have at least one shot in playoffs. But this guy just stank it up as duelist when the games mattered the most. Constantly dying first and not getting his picks, you would have thought that he was match-fixing with how many back to back rounds he died first.

Apologies for the long response, this was a good question and I just wanted to get all my thoughts out on this topic. If you read all of this, thank you for taking the time and I hope you share some explanations behind your picks for some of the worst franchised players.

There are so many ass players in Franchising, but Pacific as a region is ass lmao their Ascension team is not in the level CN too. Bleed is the worst franchise team alongwith MIBR.

MIBR and GE exist

And this idiot wants to say it’s one of the best igls in the world.

Boaster can’t shoot back, but since he’s nice people think it’s okay to hate him, while they do tricks on FNS (who sucks AND can’t get his team to win.)

Apoth, redgar(depends whether he gets picked up again), vanity(people say he's great but name one team he led that was disciplined, I'll wait), GE

redgar no doubt
