Gets dropped by LEV for Mazino
Goes to KRU to replace Mazino on smokes
Outperforms Mazino on smokes in 23/24-Mazino switches to Flex
Gets dropped by KRU for Mazino
damn unlucky ngl
gambusia1302 [#4]KRÜ has big faith in Mta it seems. So sad for Melser he was performing amazing :(
I still feel bad for Klaus lmao
ionlyHave1Zuni [#3]His ass did not outpeform mazino in 2024 . He got cleared
head 2 head yes but smokes to smokes melser was better
Hades_Loves_Rb [#7]head 2 head yes but smokes to smokes melser was better
Mazino was better at Harbor and that's what really matters

tbh for the 2025 season I doubt many will use Harbor. Considering map rotation and the big buff on Astra not many teams will be looking to use him.

Harbor's getting a big buff in the next month + Pearl's coming back. So don't be so sure :)

Expecting a mini rework tbh
vollizie [#14]Expecting a mini rework tbh
Here were my ideas from a while back:
I also saw a video from Anderzz (an analyst who works with FNATIC) where he had an amazing idea: reduce the damage dealt by bullets when they go through Harbor's smokes. Obviously all my changes + his idea would be WAY too much, so I think either or. You either wanna buff everything, or just rework the one thing that'll make him see a ton of play
AlexSMTx [#6]mta is a gamble tbh. He can either surpass Melser and overall prove to be an upgrade over him or flop and make KRU regret choosing him over Melser. We'll see what happens
lev: -mazino, +melser and repeat
kru: -melser, +mazino and repeat
it’s a never ending cycle
cloudberry [#15]Here were my ideas from a while back:
- High Tide (E) cooldown decreased from 40 >> 30 seconds (in line with the other smokes in the game)
- High Tide (E) maximum bend increased from 180 >> 270 degrees per second (basically makes it easier to curve the wall)
- High Tide (E) and Cascade (C) slow changed from 30% >> 0% for allies and 30% >> 50% for enemies
- Cove (Q) cost decreased from 350 >> 300 credits (you can buy it with a ghost on pistol)
- Reckoning (X) stun windup decreased from 1.35 >> 1 second (you can't shift walk out of his ult now)

Reducing bullet damage is a very interesting idea that would fit well with Harbor's water theme, but imo it doesn't really help his relevance as a controller. Your idea (buffing the slow and removing it for allies) is better because it buffs his general viability, and although the Anderzz idea would help him on maps like Icebox where he's chosen purely for his retake utility (cove), it doesn't actually improve his overall utility as a main smokes agent

He said his idea was to make Harbor a viable counter for the spam meta, kill two birds with one stone. Here's the full video if you want to watch it, which includes his ideas for Phoenix, Sage, Gekko, and Cypher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXChKkm6Gd4

there's even a joke between LATAM community that KRU and LEV just keep exchanging players over and over lol.
Shyy was a LEV academy player then main roster and then bought by KRU
Keznit was on KRU, then on LEV bench, then back to KRU
Melser was a LEV player too, went to KRU and might come back to LEV
Mazino was a KRU player, then LEV for 2 years and now coming back to KRU
adverso was also a LEV player, went to tier 2 for a bit and is now gonna get picked up by KRU
