nth take 3 duelist in fracture oh interesting
yeah I mean riot even clarified that they view defensive tailored weapons and movement abilities as attributes of a sentinal. They even nerfed jetts dash to solidify this. His design relies on placing a trip in one choke and then holding the other with your aim plus TP. He's literally designed to lock down a site yet people still argue the opposite.
It's quite clear cut to me as well. There is nothing in his kit that allows him to TAKE space. His TP will limit you to like 1 meter if you wanna peek with it, anything else is a massive stretch.
People just see an agent getting a lot of kills and say "well must be a duelist then" cause his playstyle can be fairly selfish.
It's quite simple really if you define the roles in terms of space:
duelists take space
initiators give information about space and assist in taking the space
controllers shape space
sentinels hold space
