bet the house on apeks going inactive in the next 2 months

do not doubt my goat erick bach

xeppaa literally redeemed himself this year he gets 1 more chance

this isnt even a hot take its just straight incorrect

we all know this isnt the reason why

eww

you might be slow in the head lol

(meaning you're retarded, because you can't seem to grasp the concept of basic english)

holy shit my guy thats why he said imagine if it did, it was to emphasize how it would be much more surprising then

memphibian 😭😭

yeah so op said imagine if what happened in said t2 grand final happened in a tier 1 grand final

Imagine

he has topped the americas scoreboards multiple times, and is the top rated jett in the region????

also you cant just use a speculation as an example lol

I mean luckily yoru is meta rn and can be played on most maps, and cryo looks really good on yoru. with kess, it no longer seems like 100t has nearly as many role issues as before, so cryo playing a duelist/flex role doesnt seem to hurt them at all

plus its not like hes playing a smaller variety of agents than someone like aspas, who really only plays jett raze and neon with a little bit of other duelists here and there

No I totally agree that dive is the way to go, and that it is definitely a core piece of util. At the same time it is definitely not impossible to run no dive, and the benefits of having a shit ton of initi/controller util can partially make up for no dive. For example, a sunset comp like:

Omen
Viper
Fade
Gekko
Vyse

Can help to offset no duelist bc you have omen tp for a psuedo dive for faster execs, plenty of refreshable info util like fade eye, gekko drone + flash, and vyse flash, you have fade dogs to clear out closer corners and get more general info, and a viper setup to lurk and apply pressure. Ofc a duelist would help a lot for execs, but playing a comp like this where you get a sheer amount of util can counteract the negative effects of no duelist while giving you all the benefits such as a strong defense hold, great post plants, and more general utility for execs

I mean loud was also aggro, its just they did a lot more mid contact plays and less 5 man straight execs.

I actually I agree with him that on most maps you dont need a cypher/kj, bc on defense they only really provide a bit of passive info and some stall, and on attack they really only put up a flank trip and then lurk. Conversely, if you play like a viper instead you still have that stall util, but on attack you have one of the strongest agents in the game for lurking and applying pressure while still being able to help the team. Really viper is the reason no senti works so well, bc she takes up half the role of a senti while providing something no other agent can do. Plus, giving up the senti allows you to still play double initi with double smokes, which are the two best archetypes in the game. On some maps where there are more than 3-4 chokes like haven or lotus (although lotus has been moving away from a trad senti) you start to really need passive info to hold at least 1 site or else youre spread too thin, and a map like icebox is so attacker sided for sites while having a very open lurky mid that you kinda need a senti just to hold the map together.

bro cryo plays yoru, jett, chamber, astra, clove, and brim. Not very flexible by any means but he can pick a good agent that works with the team/the comp that they want to play well.

but definitely yay is up there, maybe with jinggg (hes not bad but he just plays omen and raze)

that was a few rounds against eg, if you looked at most of their bad games it was just bc they got counter utiled and had no other space to play off of. On defense, no duelist is actually really good granted you have plenty of other util, bc you can just perma hold so much space and not even have to play full team/full exec retakes.

also yk that 1 drone and a molly can clear out corners right? most of the crossfires that abused the comp worked bc they got set up by a sova dart or an omen flash, eg had a really good setup for example on ascent during kickoff (if they didnt have an odin it still would have worked pretty well)

nah bro bc kess is the reason 100t didnt pull a 2023 again

bet the house on sayo

you aint even baiting me dog youre just saying random shit

all that gooning is frying your brain bud

tbf thats not really the issue with no dive, its just that you physically cannot enter certain parts of the map like ascent a main, but areas like mid on most maps and sunset b site become insanely easy to bully off defenders. really its just an extreme tradeoff that depends on map to map. biggest problem with no dive tho is that you cant apply pressure around 1 minute mark and actually threaten fast splits, and instead you have to brute force your way in, which on a map like icebox is good because anyways thats how everyone already plays that map

bro you cant just say some shit and then call it bait afterwards lol

nah, clove is by far worse than omen, at least omen provides some sort of movement ability. It's just that the team wasn't really that amazing enough to play no duelist (i'm assuming you meant early 2024 with qck, which they did technically play duelist it was just phoenix so really it was no dive). If in 2023 they got aspas to play like kayo or something and they had like omen/harbor, viper, kayo/breach, sova/fade, and a kj/cypher comps on a few maps then it really couldve worked, I mean prx played hella no duelist on sunset last year and it worked for a bit. Another problem was that he played it way too much and relied too heavy on a few really good set plays, so when they got anti'd he didnt really have anything to follow it up with, especially considering there was no dive to aggro take space anywhere.

The core idea tho of playing 2 smokes and 2 initi I still think is extremely meta on most maps just bc you have so much sheer util that losing a bit of passive info and space is fine bc you have much more flexibility to clear/reclear space aggressively, and that was the core idea of the early 2024 saadhak comps. He even said that he didn't think sentis were that good, but he did overcook by relying on pack util/contact ideas to heavily which just led to him getting antid like every map

I'm sorry but being known on an online esports forum for supporting of creators is not a flex

nobody's so obsessed over you that theyre going to dox you or something lol

I was liquid flair before the year even started when nobody batted an eye at them, and I'm not claiming to be an og or anything I just like this current roster.

keep gooning tho king

no duelist was a cool idea for teams that like to contact a lot + back then agents had a lot more util so you didnt really need dive on maps like ascent, icebox, or sunset if you knew how to work the map on attack, and once you got the bomb down setting up a post plant became insane. Plus on defense the fact that you can have dbl smokes, scans, flashes, and a dedicated senti allows for insane site holds.

only reason it didnt really play out was bc of all the agent nerfs that kept hitting the agents that made no duelist somewhat viable, and for the most part on attack side it can be hard to breach into a site against a good team without a dive agent. I still think that its really good on like icebox and has potential on easy plant maps like sunset or even corrode

fnc dbl senti dbl initi comp was pretty sick, having kaajak play defense sage exactly like a jett would was pretty cool, plus they leaned into a much more plant/exec gameplay style before just going back to the comp that they played for the last 120 years

legacy

ok bro

Santa cruz medicinals fan on vlr what a day

wolves flair asking about a sudden influx of fans

luckily of models cant friendzone you

i pray to leo furia the fr0st beats the shit out of the tln players to the point that letting rrq take a single round will bring dishonor upon them so that the sheer thought of dragon x making champs never occurs in anyones mind

I do like mako tho he's chill

themaniel never fell off his whole account is just ai slop baiting for hours a day just to statpad his posts number

genuinely heartbreaking that fuckin dragon x is going to be at champs over geng

idek if they make 5-6th this year man

I really like riot's balance changes, very few of them have been misses, and for the most part, the meta is in the best state that it has been (viper, sova, and omen are far nerfed from their best states and are still seeing high pickrates, and each comp archetype is meta on most maps rn), plus the replay system is almost here. They could be doing a lot more on the casual side, bc rn their main consistent content form is just skin releases, but if they add a workshop/creative mode more intensive than OW but maybe less intensive than CS (maybe in the vein of fortnite's) then they could really kick back on new content and people really wouldn't complain on the lack of content in val

still clears s0n

2-3 months can lowk be too much tho, maybe like a month of hanging out 1 on 1 or with very close friends before making a solid move, bc any longer than that it conveys that its just a friendship imo

Ok idk that it was that short, but I would say giving it some time then would help. Make sure that you're subtly sending signals that you like her. Ofc, like you said, don't be too bold, but at the same time if she does like you then even somewhat bold signals wont scare her off. I mean I feel like it's at least better than just waiting it out bc I would always end up waiting it out with girls that I was friends with that I wanted and they all ended up either finding other guys or thinking of me too much as a friend

at the end of the day you have to play it by gut feeling

every new map sees a decent amount of sage play but over time she fades out. prx are really the only ones that play sage well on sunset, and thats bc of their playstyle/agent comfort. Vyse, cypher, and chamber all look like better sentis on corrode, and also no senti is not a bad comp at all

-virtyy
-robbie
+sato (give lev virtyy its a good trade)
+mazin (my guy needs a proper chance)

deadass had the exact situation happen to me last year

have fun hanging out with her, take her out, and eventually when the time is right, ask her out. If you go on for too long and hold the question back, youre perma stuck in the friendzone. If youre ready, ask asap. Best outcome? she says yes from there the balls in your court. She says no, just move on. It's hard, but the quicker you do it the less time it will linger and hurt.Took me too long to realize that and the only way I ended up getting over her personally was bc some other personal shit was happening in my life and I didn't have the energy to keep missing her.

tldr if you think the time is right ask her out but definitely dont wait too long else she'll see you too much as a friend and you wont be able to get over her

crying baby vs coughing baby

literal slop poster

him and delighted both of them just spam post shit all day with no contribution either just low effort bait or a shitty copypasta just to farm posts like they mean anything

yo this isnt reddit lil bro js open your wallet and maybe she'll notice you 🥀🥀

wait this thread is actually so helpful

dude that would be an insanely helpful buff

some more stuff that could help would be to let sage place wall in buy phase like she used to (still put it on timer tho), allow agents with movement abilities to use them in buy phase without consuming them, letting jett ult in buy phase, not showing chamber ult in buy phase to enemy team, allowing brim/tejo to place ults at the same time as their regular abilities, allowing viper to pick up orb again (this one wouldnt even increase viper's pick rate in pro, just would be a really helpful ranked change), allowing phoenix to remotely cancel ult at anytime, allowing phoenix/waylay to drop molly at any time like fade, plus more flash indicators/consistency changes like what they did to kayo just for all the other flash agents

the wall buff is pretty substantial, range was really the only thing dl wall had better than sage so now sage wall just kinda clears dl wall (dl still a way better agent overall tho)

rez buff is not gonna be game changing but it will definitely help and make it so you can more safely use rez in more situations without getting you/teamate insta traded

spam viper

furia too high

wait who are they bringing in
