I was learning how to play a Violin but stopped. Didn't find it enjoyable. Hope you enjoy it though.

I love taking long walks, spending time talking to friends, watching informational YouTube videos, and playing football/soccer. I also like reading, writing, sudoku, theory crafting, and graphic design (mainly logos, brand identity, and UI)

Was forced to play the piano as a kid so just having my own agency with an entirely new instrument is enough for me

I walk home from school for like 20 mins and it's so relaxing and just relieving of everything. Haven't walked though since Im on break. wtf is theory crafting? like vct theory?

Yeah, VALORANT theory crafting. Probably should've specified. Basically theorizing different ways of playing maps, how certain agents go together, how you could use certain comps on different maps, etc.

Haven't played in a positional setting in a long time (usually it's just me and a bunch of friends kicking around a ball), but I was usually a right wing defender or midfielder

Kind of. Analysts focus on how their team and the enemy team plays, and comes up with counters and fixes and such in order to help the team win. I'm more interested in the actual agents and maps and stuff like that. Like for example, I'd think "this comp looks super viable on this map", while an analyst might think "this comp works well with the way our team plays, and it can pull off these strats in order to counter the way certain teams like to play the map"

Thanks but I ddn't know why you'd respect it. The only reason I play back is because I don't have the stamina to do anything else, and the only reason I play right wing is because I can't kick with my left foot to save my life 😭

Not usually, but I did post two different lineups (Deadlock wall and Viper setup, both for Abyss B), and I asked for thoughts on a comp idea as well (remember that Lotus comp with Fade KAY/O Harbor Killjoy I was talking about?)

No I do not remember that. Also that comp could be tweaked for a deadlock or cypher instead of kj.

Maybe, yea. Also I think the last time I mentioned it was here: https://www.vlr.gg/post/3996746/vlr-come-urgent/#6

(Also as of now I've pretty much decided on Neon)

Raze with the deadlock would go superb with the comp. Also very good with fade and kayo.

The neon just has no synergy with fade kayo or harbor. I mean stun flash to take mound could be good but also a fade eye can take it. I feel like the neon just wastes to much util to actually grab good space.

Harbor cascade to block the choke. KAY/O knife to suppress enemy util. Neon wall (the one Saadhak threw in their game against EG) for Neon and KAY/O to scale up. Fade eye comes in, potentially revealing any enemies past the Harbor wall, which Neon and KAY/O can shoot through the wall. KAY/O can also pop flash through the wall for him and Neon to fight. Fade could also potentially scale up with Neon and KAY/O, help them fight, maybe throw a dog or seize toward the choke. Meanwhile, KJ is spotting Mound while Harbor is holding a high-low with KJ's turret on the boxes in front of B.

(This is a WIP but this is how I'd take Rubble with the comp)

I really like some of these ideas, actually. For one, a Harbor cascade to threaten an A lurk is super neat—Harbor could cross, someone else could cross, or no one could cross, and they'd have to reclear Rubble either way.
