they've been on these roles the whole year I think. I feel like traditional sentinel roles like cypher and kj have massively fallen off so it's more logical to have nAts on controller so he can lurk. Chronicle is their player with more fragging power imo so the chamber makes sense in that way. As nAts took smokes, redgar probably saw the flex role as the most convenient to igl from as we've seen from other players like fns. It's hard to say exactly why, this is just my theory.
yea, i see what ur saying. im mainly talking abt sheydos on sova, instead of a more aggressive initiator, that he has been pretty much forever. also when i say this im not tryna bash redgar or anything, but sheydos has the god-like aim to play in that aggressive initiator role (2nd man-in) and thats just something that redgar doesnt have the way sheydos does. you get what im saying?
yeah I get that, but I also feel like the kay/o/breach role is not that agressive of a role. Most of the time you're staying behind throwing flashes, knives, saving breach ult and aftershock, etc. If we look at teams from around the world, it seems like a lot of igls like that kayo/breach and maybe even skye role even if they don't always have the best aim to back it up. Fns, saadhak, boaster, dephh, etc. Also, in general I think the role of "sova main" is going to slowly disappear, most teams we're already opting for double flash initiators on a lot of maps, and with the sova nerfs and the release of fade I think we'll see each time less and less sova, at least on maps like haven, bind, etc.
Maybe a problem teams like m3c and guard are having are they are forcing role changes. It works theoretically in scrims and environments with low pressure but in actual matches the players aren't as experienced or comfortable in their new roles. They're going to get less value in their utility and have a harder time adapting midround/throughout the game cuz they don't have the experience/comfort to make those decisions. Kinda just looks like the players are lacking confidence too and dk why, they're apparently both doing great in scrims recently so just nerves ig.
