And the reason BR player leave BR team is : Los Angeles

She may receive the BLD-Yay pressure that make her fail

Cant wait

Being top 5 with maining duelist doesn't mean the same thing as being top 5 playing sentinel.
Being top rad with DL rely on having a good aim ? Not really, Being top rad with Duelist mean you have an amazing aim (Or you are a huge baiter)

"The abilities of agents under this role focus on defensive play, with emphasis on supporting the rest of the team through providing intel, anchoring down sites, and preventing the enemy from flanking."
Sage have none of that.

"The abilities of agents under this role allow them to assist their teammates by cutting enemy vision, taking control of an area, and forcing enemies into choke points."
Sage correspond to that definition

Ah pain

Still no news ? Isn't supposed to be release tomorrow and we have no info ?

Flex doesnt really exist, Sage isnt a Sentinel

It's Jett, Phoenix, Sage, Sova and Brim IIRC

You're welcome my bro, dont hesitate if you have questions

Why would you wplit MENA and EU/CIS ?

Every GC team that manage to go in T2 should have a guarantee place in GCC so T2 would become a real motivation (And they wouldnt have to bother with GGC circuit)

It's soloq, a real team did start to learn how to not get trap by her I think :/
(Fun fact DL is my only agent with more than 1.0KD, beside Clove small sample size)

I agree with you, but the problem here is that Riot doesn't incentivize GC team to tryhard T2, to me Riot should make this :

• Automatically qualify to GCC any GC team that qualify to T2
• Make the GC team not play in GC circuit if they are in T2 (So their schedule isn't overcharged)

Lets be realistic, playing in both T2 and GC would be too exausting and just a huge burnout to GC team, a team that qual to T2 would probably be top 4 GC team ever, but would have to abandon GC circuit and GCC, by assuring GC team that qual to T2 a place in GCC, T2 become instantly an objective for GC team and may become their top priority.

Top me this 2 point is the 2 minimum point you HAVE to do if you want GC team play in T2 because if you don't, their schedule is too heavy

When you manage a team, you go into cycle and you are supposed to make your team peak at precise moment, and since winning GCC matter more than T2, then it's logical to make your player peak on the timing when it's matter for GC and not T2.

At equal level a team that have T2 as a secondary objective will be less worse than a team that have T2 as a primary objective, they are no counter argument about that

You didn't answer ^^

Where you also in positive during the 2 weeks on solo this map ? Because that what matter, being your first map may not be erase the traumatic experience of being 0.5 KD over 30 games. First though matter a lot

No offense, but are you low ELO ?

I'm asking the question because the system is made a way every new map will be hated by low ELO. Why ? Because you test new map on a specific queue that doesnt share MMR with no other queue, which mean statistically you will play against player better than you, so you will loose with a horrible KD and start to hate the map. 2 week later you will finally have an MMR close to your real MMR, but the hurt will be done (and the queue will disappear), it will be put in your subconscious that you will hate the map.

Can I ask you your ELO and the winrate you had on the specific mapqueue ?

In proplay they have either a sova or a raze to counter it

Hard to know, T2 were never an objective for GC teams, so they never really tryharded it

Interesting idea, but that should be coupled with the fact they can't be demoted for the rest of the year.

But the problem with that is that we dont know yet if GC team have the level of T2 yet, if they get rollstomped for one full year this mightbe a problem. Before doing that we need to gather more data about GC teams in T2, TLBR playing in T2 Brasil in 1 weeks will help us to have a precise idea of how the GC team are (MIBR could also give us an idea but lets be honnest, they just come back from GCC, they will be burnt if they take the tournament too seriously)

Thanks it's a pleasure ^-^

2 game played, 0 win ^-^

Hmm ?

fly

They are only like 100 game, so nothing seems to be really relevant, but I think I will still talk about it when I finish the other (And maybe when I can gather data of split 3)

How do you "Win upper final" in a single elim ? They are no Upper final, just a grandfinal

Sage isn't a Sentinel, I rather put her in initiator or controller

She and Iso are so weird, that the only 2 agents that have no dive, no flash, no regen, no sent spell, no controller spell, and they are fucking TOP 3 on overall map (Clove completing the top 3 is also hilarious). Sage is top 1, 58,5% NMWR on 318, pval 0.2, (So PPV 99.8%), her data are absolutely significant, she is an absolute nonsense and will be absolutely busted after an up.

I'm a statistician more than an analyst, so maybe I should really study how Sage play to have a so good result... Maybe one of her strength is being an absolute counter to the postplant meta. Then, I think she usually replaces an initiator flasher, and flasher are bad (Breach 45%, Kayo 48%, Gekko and Skye are ok but replace usually the recon, so the spot is still open for her)

I have so many things to say about her, she was my main, and she is still my most played agent, and I'm still cluless on how to analyze her, it's a subject I will HAVE to work on, because, Sage is still not classed in the class meta because, well... I can't consider her as a Sentinel, not possible, she was never played as such, doesn't have the spell, and it makes no sense to put her in, I'm still considering putting her in controller, maybe even in Initiator if I realize her wall is most used to take space aggressively. If she is already a hidden OP, and she is about to receive an up, she will be picked, I can't continue class her in her own special role (Named 7)

I can't wait to see the up, this will probably help me to take a decision.

Please if you have any analyze about her tell me. (Gonna be usefull for a future video)

I made a full video that explain the concept of archetype : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGHldAjmDes (And the start of the video make a full summup of what are the archetype

In short term : "Composition archetype" is the roles of your archetype.

• In the class nomenclature, it counts how many duelist, initiator, sentinel, controller you have in your composition. Every composition have at least 1 1 initiator and 1 controller, and usually 1 duelist, so the name of the archetype is the 1st letter of the 2 remaining class agent
• In the spell nomenclature, it asks if you have one diver, one flasher, one recon, one sentinel, one controller, if one lack, the archetype is named 0-X (X being the first letter of the spell that missing) so "0S" is 0-sentinel archetype, "classical", are composition where one specific agent do one specific spell, "hybrid" are composition that have an agent that do 2 things and so it opens a spot for a remaining agent.

I s a little bit more clear ? ^-^

Really good question

• 1/ it's NonMirror Winrate and not only Win Rate
• 2/ the sample is Tier 1 and Tier 2, split 2 (I consider make Split 1 too to have a better samplesize, but the meta kinda shifted with Viper nerf, so I prefered not to do it), since I have both Split 1 and 2 I have a samplesize big enough to have something intresting. I have 5994 composition to analysis overall, and 806 on Bind only.
• 3/ If thats not enough, I calculate the P-value to see if my data are significant or if I need to just stay suspicious but not be sure, (And what I call the polarised P-value, it’s just 1-pval or pval-1, so in a blink of an eye you can see if the data the percent of chance the NMWR is it’s because of noise or not)

Does it answer to your question or do you need more precision ^^ ?

48,5% Non MIrror Winrate, not great :/

It's a good point, but I want to point out that every time a team coming for G2 part of the bracket (top winner bracket) played a team coming from SR part or the bracket (bot of winner bracket), the team coming from G2 bracket stomped team coming from SR. Maybe SR has not been tested Yet

Again vlr, you cant read so I read my text, my nose is unblocked but for unknow reason I speak too fast on this video, so maybe it will be less understable :

tldw ;

• Most used Archetype is 0 Sentinel archetype and is the best archetype based on spell.
• Best Archetype based on class is 1 Duelist, 2 controller, 2 initiator
• Beside Archetype that invovle Sage, or Doble Sentinel Archetype, every other archetype based on class seems bad.
• The main 5 picks are Gekko, Raze, Brim, Viper, Skye
• Gekko is OP, the other 4 are good but replaçable
• Keep a huge look to Clove, Sage and Astra that may be the surprise on 2025
• Dont Play Chamber.

Tell me what map that was played on Split 2 you want me to talk about

Errrrrm ? Ok ?

Sure >.>

You didn't liked it ? :c

Ai can create new style if people have enough imagination with prompt (And some people will continue drawing for pleasure), exactly the same artist take inspiration from other artist

It's inspired by what artist has done, exactly like the artists.

With Lora you can even replicate the style of a precise artist

Do you know how artist learn art ? By looking at other artist, exactly like AI. It's like that, art is always inspired by the previous iterations

French say IA instead of AI >.>

I agree with that, sure he could make sthings nobody can, but he has also a lot of weakness (His attack phase), I should focus making data on season 2, but i'm not that sure that he was so high in NMWR

More the AI replace us, less we have to work, more we can play Val.

Also, before, artist and scenarist worked hand in hand to create banger like Asterix or Tintin and shared money. Now scenarist have to pay artist to create. The day AI fit to create comic, scenarist that have no skill in drawing will be able to create banger.

Artist whining about AI are just gatekeeping creation, because they are afraid of losing their job, that understandable, but they are not fightting IA to make the world better, they are doing it to protect their job and not care if that make world worse.

Being good or bad is relative, none is trash

Napoleon was too greedy and lose his empire being still alive, probably bottom of the list.

He is a better minister of education than a general.

"Stupid to play against" may be one of the defiition of gamebreaking to me.

That should be one of the mostused data you check whern release a new agent

This patch is also high in my ranking, I should also make a video about what is a "sane agent"

Sometimes I just feel that KCX day is the "French pride" day

I have no idea why did they release Reyna like that...

True about the agent, not really true about every other things

This patch was temporary 5.07 is forever
