Johqt is NOT a rookie, started playing professionally in late 2021/early 2022

G2 clears everyone

no fucking way moose sold that hard
rossy would’ve never let that happen
rossy would’ve never let it get to 12-11 either
clown9 moment

Disclaimer: I do not play neon, never have. I main senti/controller.

What the FUCK riot?
What was the point of buffing neon if you’re just going to make her worse than she was before the buff?
There is now 0 reason to play Neon unless you’re shotgun only.
Getting killed by the slide went from
“damn, this kid grinds aimlabs like a bitch”
to
“lucky ass shot what the fuck?”
Now it’s just going to be boring Raze/Jett meta. I hope they at least consider reverting the accuracy nerf in exchange for a slide speed nerf because making Neon have one slide and worse accuracy pre-buff just makes no sense. They wanted to make Neon more ground-based and then proceeded to not change the bhop spam at all and made her worse in every way, which means people will see more bhop than they did before, going against the original intention behind the nerf.
Hopefully they revert the accuracy nerf, if they don’t the agent diversity that is currently in the meta will vanish because Neon will vanish.
TL:DR
Riot fucked up and overnerfed Neon, jeopardizing the entire meta by making her slide luck based.

You'd be fine but youll feel weird being nocturnal

Hes a 100t fan, connect the dots

Neon is getting nerfed. Once that happens, midrounding is more important, not to mention midrounding is always important

Most they are getting an international

TGRD to G2
Thats it

Asc/gold for sure

2-1 against a random t2 team
Cryo on cypher (he dont know what hes doing)
Boostio on breach (makes more sense but still questionable)
100t straight up trolling lmao

Flor going to an ascension team in emea is definitely NOT on my 2024 bingo card.
Can’t wait to see the transphobia leaking into T1, flor shutting it down, and SR proving that flor wasn’t the reason why they won GCC twice.

suspected to be fake trans/nonbi

considering the allegations against srN, the shitty aditude they have, and the fact that i'm a g2 fan, I am putting mibr to win this

advanced jinx tactics

did you watch the G2 vs SR game? oh what am i saying you clearly didnt if you think mibr is favored over g2

I don't think you get that that is the entire point of the damn ability. The reason why Jett can''t shoot while dashing is because she is invulnerable. Neon is very much vulnerable, its just a skill issue that you can't track her predictable path. Slowing down the slide is definitely needed, but removing all skill and usability involved in the central part of Neon's kit is the dumbest way to balance any ability. If you nerf her in the way you suggested (Can't pull out their gun until the slide finishes.) Neon's pick-rate will plummet to 0.1%, and the people who still play her will never use her slide ability because it's a direct downgrade to just dry-swinging.

This data comes from AT LEAST one year ago. Point made.

single elim with bo5 playoffs is the worst idea ive heard
whoever wins the upper finals automatically wins the grand finals because theres so much footage to watch from a team
hella long matches
significantly more expensive to keep running
also putting 2023=>2022 instead of 2022=>2024 is insanity

Would you like to have 3 rechargable skye flases? Or pre-nerf chamber? Or pre-nerf astra? Or pre-nerf reyna? Or pre-nerf iso? Or pre-nerf jett? Or pre-nerf raze? Or pre-nerf viper? Or pre-nerf breach? Because thats what this comment implies.

literally everyone is assuming that in one whole ass year, Demon1 has never touched raze/neon after he got benched
hes obviously been practicing them or else they wouldn't make this decision
utilize you're neurons!

not posting my tracker to "prove a point" when this is an opinionated topic

"Lets remove the slide from neons signature ability, henceforth making it useless."

neon should be nerfed to where she can't shoot her gun until the dash animation is done, same for jett.

no
read my changes, determine if they are bad and say so, explain why, then ask for tracker.

least shameless plug
also tf is this

touching my crash to this out rn

scroll up and tell me when ANYONE mentioned esports or vct 2024 at all in this thread. ill wait.

their problem for not realizing what an opinion is

neon isn't op

when did esports get into this im just talking about neon not being overpowered

no
i am literally a cypher/chamber main if thats what you're asking

Neon meta is objectively better to fight against, which says how ass the Chamber meta was. If a Chamber peeked into 5 people and got one, they had a 100ms teleport that makes their escape all but a formality. If a Neon does that and gets one, they are getting traded every day of the week unless nobody is looking at them. Neon takes significantly more skill to be effective with than Chamber-learning how to bhop, entry, and make sure not to overheat vs place a teleport in spawn and another somewhat close to where you want to go and then press a single button if things go south. Chamber single-handedly bended in such a way that three initiatiors were required to stand a chance, Neon hasn't really done that.

NEON IS NOT OVERPOWERED. The most she needs is a small nerf, and the other agents need buffs. She does not need the Astra treatment, the only nerfs needed is to make her High Gear require much more commitment rather than a drive-by and to make it possible to hit her while shes bhoping. My proposed nerfs:
Universal stun change (because stuns just suck):

• No more crosshair shake, just increase inaccuracy by 2.5x along with all of the other stun effects.

  Yes the stun buff does buff her Relay Bolt (Q), you'll see why.

  High Gear (E) proposed changes:

• Neon's slide is 0.05x slower.
• Sprint does not deplete until the neon High Gear activation animation has completed.
• High Gear's speed bonus applies at the end of the animation instead of the beginning.
• Reduce gun pull-out time change up from ~0.2 seconds to ~0.4 seconds.
• Slide has a 1.5 second cooldown.
• Jumping while High Gear is active decreases Neon's speed by 0.15x every time.
  Overdrive (X) proposed changes:
• Revert all High Gear nerfs
• Kills during Overdrive only restore 25% of the Sprint bar.

tf does this mean

nothing interesting to talk about aside from the occasionaly controversial roster/balance change or drama because ~6 month off season in t1 and the GCC so spread out compared to other events
Acsension was goated this year thankfully, but the lack of support from riot really kills the mood
thank god its an 8 month calendar next year, less waiting for the off season to end and all of the vct events are closer together (kind of anyways)

o7 benjyfishy

THEY DIDN CHOKE
