can you take your time to appreciate how insane mwzera is? without a doubt the most talented player to ever touch the game
I'll try to explain briefly why I think he is the best player in the world
Despite his insane aim and movement
The best way to know if a player is a good duelist is RAZE. There is a BIG difference between a good duelist and a jett abuser
If he is a good duelist, he needs to be good with raze.
heat? not good with raze
aspas? not good with raze
xand? not good with raze
tenz? not good with raze
cned? not good with raze
scream? not good with raze
d3ffo? not good with raze
derke? not good with raze
Thats why I think he is undoubtely the best player in the world. If RIOT by any means decides to nerf jett and shift the meta we prolly not gonna even hear names like cned and tenz again :>
He is not killing 40+ per map because when he joined VK he was forced to play a different role because heat is already a main jett... and lets be honest, every single duelist nowadays gets 20+ kills per map because team and setups are basically built around you (even steel managed to get 20 kills with it https://www.vlr.gg/29398/sentinels-vs-100-thieves-champions-tour-north-america-stage-3-challengers-playoffs-gf/?game=46692&tab=overview)
she's not the op agent because chamber is simply much better at doing it, but she's still miles ahead than any other agent in the game with the current op. Sure the jett nerf was harsh, but her pickrate was already in decline before the nerf and was consolidated by optic's success with chamber in m1, where you could still dash like before.
people are forgetting until alfa came derke was the only jett player/ fragger who could play raze to a high level. firstly chamber isnt nerfed enough to force teams to leave him out and secondly derke can easily switch to whatever is the meta duelist. that guy has played sova, he can play any role(any duelist)
he could/should, but its mostly like if fnatic want to adopt neon, coz yeah she's good but we have seen chet and other players saying that neon is tough to make use of, it needs extra work whereas raze is much easier to adopt in the comp. also i have seen alfa play raze in ranked and he's good at it, so it must be that fnatic didnt think it was needed till masters 2, they might change things though with the amount of time they have
Players that will fall off without a doubt- Most of the NA players like tex, dicey, bdog. Optic will see a heavy toll, esp when they will have to change up their comps, it wont be the same optic we have seen before. Internationally tacolilla, a lot of the SEA chamber 1 tricks.
Teams that will thrive on this nerf- 100T, Guard, Acend, Liquid, M3C. These teams were always lacking on picking up the chamber, and their strats are revolved around non-chamber comps, no wonder we didn't see these teams anymore. Guard fell off hard because they tried to fit jett demon sayaplayer on chamber, which clearly didnt work out.
Overall there will be a significant drop in the quality of NA teams, which already look horrendous and with their best team Optic taking a big toll, it will just be a repeat of last year, where EMEA and APAC teams will dominate champions this time, the only difference is APAC and EMEA will be a lot closer than the blowouts last year. LOUD should also be doing well, they are not chamber focused and their star players are excellent on Killjoy and other agents.
Liquid will 100% be affected by this tho? They have not one but two cracked chamber players on the team and you’re saying they won’t be affected? Imo they use chamber heavily and will probably be one of the most affected by this. I’d also put M3C in this category. Imo SEN will thrive the most off this nerf. They adapted to chamber meta horribly.
SEN will not thrive, that team in finished. M3C adapted badly, they had to have nats or chronicle play the agent. If they can get their star players on the agents they are good in, the team can get into form. Liquid is one of the more flexible teams as well, I believe they will do well. They are like a mini-FPX, just with way less preparation for matches, as they seem to underestimate their opponents like Zeta and without a veteran IGL.
M3C have two of the best chamber players in EMEA as do Liquid. How can you say that they will thrive after the nerf? Also, SEN have no good chamber players on their team and they ended up hot potatoing it between Shahz, dapr and Kanpeki. If chamber falls out of the meta it will benefit them greatly.
