Are u really smart if you don't abuse broken meta?

Just a thought, have seen people blame yay for being really good at chamber or KangKang or Zekken for abusing Neon and this made me think of something. Is it really wrong to abuse meta agents. It's like the entire situation of diving in football to get penalties or foul baiting in basketball. At the end of the day, is it really wrong to make use of a fraudulent system to your own advantage because at the end of the day, winning is what matters no matter if it is ethical or not.

I am not defending anyone here, if you fall off after that certain thing is nerfed, then you are washed, as simple as that but don't see the point in blaming people over this. Maybe it's because that person used it against your team but then again, why didn't your player use the same, it's your team's fault at that point.

That being said, fuck Neon. I don't even like using it anymore. Sova Omen for the win.

It’s more so that people doubt the players ability to adapt if a certain agent gets nerfed

Yea but then again
Yay didn't spawn in with Chamber or KangKang didn't spawn in with Neon
They were good at other agents, Chamber or Neon was just a plus one
But the same can't be said about a few tier 2 talents tho and not many (not talking about Mada) but a few.

EDG had a rough period in both masters and made needed changes for champs which people overlooked because they purely saw his neon gameplay and didn’t pay attention to smoggy or chichoo making such big impacts alongside nobody taking on the igl role (I think they said he’s the reason they won champs)

yay was already good before chamber, it just so happened that chamber fit his play style perfectly. He was simply superior to other players at the time and anyone could have used chamber.

honestly ya
i dont get why ppl say yay was a chamber merchant as if that was a bad thing
everyone had the same chamber, yay's was just better than everyone elses, he was the best to adapt and specialized in it better than everyone else ever did

Yea
Same with any agent or gun or anything
Like CS, LOL, Valo, OW
Broken metas are going to be everywhere
Like I said, I am in no means saying that it is a good thing. Neon is bad for the game and needs to be patched but I am saying, competitively, it's not wrong to use it.
