You can't ping inside the smoke anymore.

Riot has revealed the new patch, including neon Nerf, ping, etc.
In terms of ping, you can't use ping to mark the bomb inside the smoke anymore.
This shit ruins the post plant gameplay for sure.

yeah but clove smokes are always available on retakes, she benefits the most

Postplant spam definitely got nerfed, there's no argument there. But part of me feels like at this point, pros have enough practice and intuition to be able to spam decently well regardless, especially on maps like Abyss and Sunset

sort of, but the ping before let you ping the left and the right side, meaning that pros could spray every single spot where they could be defusing. it might not be meta changing but it will definitely be noticable while watching

good? whats the issue

it'll only affect the low elo shitters
who cars

mfs when they have to use skill to spam instead of a giant beam 🤯🤯🤯

Skill up or keep crying

even in cs where you can shoot through and open smokes, ninja defuses happen. there will be more times where spamming wont work if you have like 2-3 people max alive for example

The issue is valo people ( alot of them) are just dumb bitches who wanna complain and find shit stuff even if riot tries to do something good cause all are tenz fanboys

True. Worst case scenario is people actually practice spamming in customs 💀

To be fair, ninja defuses always did happen. We've had at least a couple dozen of them this year. They're just a more likely possibility now, which is very fun, and also adds a great amount of risk to postplant spam (which I feel is the entire idea of this change)

i agree but why bring tenz into this when he said its a good over all change

so does the smoke ping thing work for walls aswell ?
