is it just me

or does last years teams feel stronger? This whole year I feel like the top teams are worse.

it is not just you but it’s still wrong

nah imo only eg seem better then this years top 4

No its even higher level strats and its even more competitive now the only thing that fell is individual plays and shiny plays which that makes you think its worse

Current year teams will SHIT on last year or earlier teams and this will continue to happen as valorant progresses

Current EDG is violating them

less hero plays means the teams are better not worse

Yeah they feel significantly weaker, the top teams switch every tournament, I think that plays a role
Also like none of the teams have aura

EG was the best team of all time.

If last year teams were stronger why are they all grouped? It's just no longer a 3 team game.

nah I think if EG never disbanded or aspas never left loud they still be top teams

Not really , shift in meta and change of style plus this year was the year of rookies so less familiar faces on top. Just a sense of unfamiliarity give that vibe.

if your aunt had balls she would be your uncle.

It only feels that way because the teams at the top this year weren't as highly rated last year

ifs and buts aside, any top teams of this year will beat any previous team no matter what. The strategic difference is way too high

I think this map rotation before Champs and then
v less time to prepare is the factor for inconsistency.
Next time I expect consistency in teams due to better schedule

I dont agree with the idea that teams will always get better each year, every year. Thats like saying the 2017 Golden state warriors would be mid in todays league.

that team was nothing without jawgemo

You gotta rewatch the matches, every single member of that roster was putting in work. Even Boostio and c0m

physical sports are different, that comparison is very flawed. And what you think doesn’t not really matter if you really think about it. As time progresses and meta changes, the teams which are at the top of current meta will always be better and more seasoned than previous ones. It might sound weird to you, but current G2 would SHIT on teams like prime Loud and prime optic. And current Sen would literally obliterate 2021 reykavik Sen.

obviously since newer teams have access to new agents that didnt exist in that time, but if you put the same players that were on EG 2023 and bring them to 2024 and allow them to figure out the meta I think they stomp.

so we are trying to pleasure ourselves by creating hypothetical situations instead of just accepting the fact? 😂 also why are we so obsessed with “older teams being stronger than the newer ones” ? Like times have changed and so did the best teams in the world. It’s very simple, really.
