Pancada also streams fairly often
take away his team and look at them individually and every single player there clears him
Universal Reason : Trashcan player with a massive ego "level of play in madrid was low, we'd have won if we made it" "gonna go for all three this year"
Fnatic Fan Reason : Paycheck stealing and holding the team back
Some people reason : Don't like his 'energy' (grown man twerking, kpop dancing, overall cringe, etc)
some of yall need to rewatch this
Tenz, Yay, Demon1, Zekken
Have all at one point not just been the best player in americas but the entire world
As the #1 fnatic hater I really hope they keep boaster on the roster
his last international win, game, and literally most recent showing isn't cherrypicking, those are pretty relevant points in time.
anyways tho
Stage 2 2024- not a top 5 viper regionally
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2094/champions-tour-2024-emea-stage-2?exclude=&min_rounds=0&agent=viper
Stage 1 2024 - 3rd regionally
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1998/champions-tour-2024-emea-stage-1?exclude=&min_rounds=0&agent=viper
2024 Kickoff - 5th regionally (only 3 games tho so take that how you will)
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1925/champions-tour-2024-emea-kickoff?exclude=&min_rounds=0&agent=viper
Champs 2023 - 3rd internationally (but only played 2 games and got grouped, 1st btw is Less )
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1657/valorant-champions-2023?exclude=&min_rounds=0&agent=viper
Masters Tokyo - not a top 5 viper internationally (or even close, only 3 game but still)
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1494/champions-tour-2023-masters-tokyo?exclude=&min_rounds=0&agent=viper
EMEA League 2023 - not a top 5 viper regionally
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1190/champions-tour-2023-emea-league?exclude=&min_rounds=0&agent=viper
Thats the last 2 years
But I'm not cherrypicking or hating on the guy, he just isn't the best viper ever
i could accept that, as long as ur not trying to imply that that makes him the best viper ever (literally the title of the post), because that's not true for the same reason tenz isn't the best jett player
Demon1 had a reputation as Cheater1 in t2.
When dark ratio was at the top of t2 there was a notorious game where he walked down breeze halls every round and sat down whoever peeked him, oxy and geeza included
The last time Nats won an international match - 0.66 on viper, worst rated player on that map and throughout the series
Last time he played an international match - 0.56 on viper, worst rated player on that map
Most recent stage Nats played (EMEA Stage 2 2024) - Not even a top 5 viper regionally
Sure he's on a bad team and he's held back blah blah blah, but he's just objectively not the best viper player ever. The same way tenz isn't the best jett ever. This isn't the jurassic era of val anymore.
you think people just completely give up B these days to the point you can literally just walk up and take rope like this?
Peak Nats's (Gambit Era) lurks would get shut down in a swiftplay today
Its the Jawgemo bucky ace lets be real that shit could be used in a game trailer
i straight up forgot that you could do that lol
you getting owned while trying to abuse a broken game mechanic is the skill issue. I have a silver friend that mains neon and can fry in diamond lobbies
"MW3 Akimbo FMG9 isn't broken i just played with it and went 2-20" 💀💀💀
Now that everybody agrees this is retarded, this is literally applying neon's game design to raze.
I made this post to show how stupid it really is because mf's in this thread (neon run-n-gun crutches) just didn't get it
Was rewatching the EG vs FNC fracture game and this kill by jawgemo gave me an idea : https://youtu.be/rW8Da856WGU?si=CgrrScU47C9uQACJ (around 30:35 in this vid)
How about we buff raze's midair accuracy so that you could do this consistently? Would be a great new dynamic addition to Valorant. I think we should also give raze rechargable satchels, maybe he gets a new one back every 4-6 seconds, so that you could go for these plays a bunch of times during a round. What do you guys think?
Verno and Jawgemo to NRG for crashies and victor and they're title contenders
(assuming icy maintains his performance from last year) Icy needs to go. Its obvious that firepower, especially at the duelist position is holding them back. You can't have a duelist who's negative every game and expect to win. Qck basically got insta-booted for the same reason. It's not that Icy or Qck are bad, but they aren't enough.
'but he did so good in just his first year, give him time'
There is also almost no chance to develop with the way that franchising is structured. A very short regular season, then its playoffs and ur either in or you're out. Should the season be longer with more games? I think so. But that's not how it is, and you have to make your decisions based off that. As a player, you have to be a finished product and ready to go if you're in franchising. There's also alot of options that could replace Icy's role and be a clear upgrade - Jawgemo, Mada, Derke, even Victor (he looked good on duelist). Does G2 want to risk an entire year to develop Icy? Imo that would be extremely risky with the way that franchising is.
And boaster goes without saying
Needs to be in t1: Zander, Nismo, Mada, Skuba, Hiro, Patitek, Rossy
Needs to Go: Boaster, Xeppaa, Vanity, Icy
Pre-Shanghai - which was a massive choke - this was unironically true. The knock on PRX is 'their playstyle won't work at the highest level', and surprise surprise, when they play against the top teams (FPX, EG), they lose because of their playstyle (shoutout their breeze comp). Losing because you play retarded and that gets exposed at the top level doesn't make that loss a 'choke'.
It wasn't a steamroll, it was a close 2-1 that went to map 3 OT with Boostio basically having the worst game of his career
Edit: nvm, i just rechecked kickoff and forgot they shit on KC at the start, yeah that was a choke
Similarly, what made them favorite vs EDG? If anything the upper bracket team is by default the favorite. Even if you had TH winning that game, its not like it was a huge upset or a shocker that they lost
Honestly i thought Gen.G was the better team the entire time and only choked/got unlucky on icebox (texture legging boo with the awp, munchkin barely missing a flash that would have won the round, etc).They looked like they were in control the entire time even though they lost the map.
Honestly the only map that TH actually looked like the better team was Ascent, Gen.G was straight up not clearing corners.
Anyways, by the same notion, did Gen.G 'choke' vs SEN at madrid? They were in the same spot you described. The answer is no, SEN just showed why they were the best team in the world.
-------------------------------------------------------
tldr version: were TH heavily expected to win vs these teams?
vs KC - No
vs Gen.G - No
vs Fnatic - Yes
vs EDG - No
the # 1 iso player is on my ass i might be cooked
losing to a team that is better than you isn't a choke
The only time they were supposed to win and lost to a team they shouldn't have is the Finals vs Fnatic
Going into each match the thought process was:
vs KC 'Anyone's game, lets find out who the best team in EMEA really is'
vs Gen.G 'Anyone's game (edge to Gen.G if anything- the upper bracket team), lets find out who the best team in the world really is'
vs Fnatic 'Ez for heretics 3-0 or 3-1'
vs EDG 'Who knows, lets find out who the best team in the world really is'
The only choke was to fnatic, every other time the other team was just the better team.
In the 4 finals they lost, only 1 one was a choke.
Choking means not winning or performing in circumstances you're expected and supposed to win.
They were not better than KC at the time, it wasn't a choke.
They were not better than Gen.G at the time, it wasn't a choke.
They actually were better than Fnatic at the time, that was the one choke.
And finally, they were not better than EDG , that wasn't a choke.
The real biggest chokers of the year are 1. NRG (for obvious reasons) and 2. PRX (were favorites to win Shanghai) 3. Gen.G (getting grouped at champs was a big choke, a stain on an otherwise great year).
inshallah
(still not gonna happen tho lol)
Honestly N4rrate to SEN and Verno to NRG is a better fit for both teams
SEN (- sacy + N4rrate) get an firepower upgrade who plays all of Sacy's former agent pool except for sova -> but zekken is an insane sova and N4rrate is a better jett than Zekken -> and Sova/Jett maps go together so pure roles wise its just a win-win for example on ascent (assuming N4rrate can't just learn it if they wanna keep zekken on jett).
NRG (- crashies - victor + Verno) get a firepower upgrade who perfectly fills in Crashies agent pool, and they still have room to bring in a cracked duelist player for victor, ideally maybe a Jawgemo or Mada (or even Derke).
depends how they do it, i'm sure they have alot of creative people working there that can find a balanced solution
My Solution: Bar doesn't recharge (maybe unless you get kills) and you can't backwards slide
This way you can still do the normal explosive stuff on execs but you can't just be braindead jumping around all round and you can't just outrotate everyone by running back and forth between sites a million times on defense. Forces you to be smart about your movement util like jett dash or raze satchels.
Would be so much more tolerable than what it is now
Who said this had anything to do with my ranked games(i've been carried by a neon more recently than i've faced one btw)?
Neon is literally designed to run and gun which is stupid asf. It was the intention of the game designers when they changed the sliding accuracy. And the bar recharges he could run around like that basically half the round, while the other movement agents (jett,raze) need to be smart about it.
Remember Jawgemo's mid-air Flying Vandal Kill on Fracture vs Fnatic? Imagine the game designers made it so the raze bullets are as accurate mid air for raze as neon's is while sliding. Now imagine Raze could satchel around most of the round going for those types of kills on people. Sound like retarded bullshit? Connect the dots
some of these people never been in a custom late night with the Johnnypkay videos alt tabbed and it shows fr fr
I don't even usually rank check people on this site because higher rank = right/lower rank = wrong is stupid but when you said not being able to shoot neon is an aim issue or that he's too easily countered with cypher i knew forsure you were terrible
Low pickrate in T1? This isn't Chamber metas he doesn't have to be picked on every map to be OP. And winrate doesn't matter every character is almost by definition gonna have a near 50% winrate, thats how averages work - unless you're genuinely trolling and picking phoenix or something.
She's OP because her fundamental game mechanic is stupid and allows bad players to play above their level - because she can just jump around and backwards slide spray shoot or jump in your face with a judge and there's little to nothing anybody can do to punish it because there is no hitscan tracking in Val. That's why she's a dumbass agent that trashcans love, because they don't have to be good at the game to get value out of her.

YOU ARE FUCKING DOGSHIT LMAO YOU'VE NEVER EVEN HIT IMMORTAL
YOUR LAST GAME YOU WERE 1-13 28 ACS
CLASSIC ASCENDANT EGO SYNDROME I CAN'T LMAOOOOOO
What a shitter ass comment. The best aimers in the world are still at a disadvantage against a sliding neon because of the way guns work in the game. If you don't first bullet headshot them a sliding neon with a phantom is gonna spray you down 10/10 times.
And once you get out of gold you might realize that people know how to counter cypher trips
Wait till you find out that Neon is a meta pick on the best cypher map in the game
To master?
The floor is fairly high but the ceiling really isn't that high. Def not above Sova, Raze, and Kayo (and even skye imo).
There's a reason its a boaster agent lol
Edit: Guys, you suck and stun certain places on execs and do the same thing on defense when your team calls for it ('Can you place a suck here?' 'Suck now suck now'). After that its smoking the regular spots and maybe placing and recalling a star if you want to cross somewhere. You play the agent for 5 hours and you'll be able to do it fast. There's really not that much difficult shit to master.
What #6 and #4 said
also Astra is not that hard, and phoenix over skye?
No i just hate that make-a-wish ass agent that rewards trashcans. I'll give you an example.
I have an irl friend named suzy who's silver. Actual silver. She has been hardstuck silver for months, and it took her a year to get out of bronze. She literally gets scared and freaks out when there are people on her screen. She only plays 3 agents, skye (always flashes us when we're on her team lmao), sage, and Neon. We played a 10 man custom amongst our mutual friend group a week ago where the average rank on each team is like high diamond. A couple ascendants, plats, and 1 imm on each team, with her as the exception. Even though we play them for fun we take the games fairly seriously.
We tell her to buy a judge or spectre (she can't aim well even with phantom) every round and just run at them. By halftime she's topfrag 15/8, by the end of game she's 21/18 and top 3 in the lobby.
doesn't need a nerf. Needs to be deleted from the game and the designer thrown into jail.
Actually the most braindead agent of all time imagine thinking a run and gun character belongs in a tac fps.
Neon makes a bad micro-decision and gets stuck in a corner where anybody else would be held and die from util or traded? nope. Slide shoot out untradeably because you can't track in this game. There's a reason all my silver irls love playing neon when they're -20 on any other agent.
small correction: Zander is the most promising smokes player in t2
edit: LOL why did this get downvoted its a freezing cold take
Tenz jett is not happening in pro play anymore i hate to break it to you
