Is the OP falling out of use?

The caster brought up a good point and I've noticed it as well, I see less OPs overall during the games and it seems like with Neon being more in use, duelists choose to use a vandal or phantom more often. Is this the new strat? Thinking at Tenz and Derke using it, both were shut down pretty well by the opposing team.

I think it's a map thing because sunset and bind are the most retake heavy maps in the pool right now

It is logical that its use will decline considering we are in a retake meta. If you fail to retake a round your economy is curb stomped for the next round or more

i mean more smokes mean less ops.

kangkang said yesterday in post match that op isn't as useful in this meta or something or im tripping

nah its just hard on double controller maps
