Just got the news....
My goat's not dead but he's still on giants so his career is
neon isnt accurate while jumping tho, only lateral movement
The point was to satirize how ridiculous neon's game design is by applying it to raze. Neon has high accuracy with his movement mechanic (the slide), so I applied it to raze's (the satchels).
i mean personally ive won majority of my duels against a ulted neon when i had a vandal
The ult is easier for me too than the slide shoot, which is the real problem. At the end of the day an ult is an ult, and is supposed to be strong, but the slide shoot shouldn't be in a tac-fps.
and yes if u have decent teammates just call for a flash and stun
Do you have a different ranked system from everybody else where your teammates are always selfless, ultra-competent, team players? Pls let me have your account if so. I've been in radiant lobbies where I can't get the no-commers playing smokes to throw the ascent one-way at the start of rounds even after specifically asking for it
meteor is japanese?
also chile should be kingg
I don't know why I said 10-12 imma be honest, I was thinking of actually pressing the button and run/jumping past someone with movement to find an opportunity to get value (could be a bunch of non-combat things too, think miniboo spotting the bomb vs flashback by just running across, knowing he's not gonna get hit) versus the actual slide shoot itself - thats a fuckup on my part with the way i worded it.
Run and gun is obviously viable on any agent when ur facestuffing, nobody complains about that. You know exactly why we complain about neon's run and gun : https://www.vlr.gg/402114/rate-my-idea
and saying 'Just headshot them with a vandal' or 'just breach stun + omen blind' as if its so easy to just do that is laughable
And how many times in a round can a neon attempt a very hard to punish run-n-gun (bullshit) kill? (probably up to 10-12 times dependant on circumstances if you ask me)
Additionally, how much does it cost to go for those, compared to phoenix's flashes?
So just to clarify, how many times can a Phoenix throw a flash in a round?
Must be so nice having a smokes player who is a perma 30-bomb threat. Zander is too good man. 100% has to be in franchising next season
u guys can complain about if she slides on u its an insta kill or whatnot its the exact same thing if someone phoenix flashes correctly lmao that shit is a guranteed kill
how many times can phoenix flash you in a round btw?
No she isn't, you're just bad. You're probably gonna say just play cypher (because you're bad).
I'll give you a tip, even if you're in the elo where people don't know how to break trips -which are always gonna be in the same few spots ever time - you only have to do the following
I've seen people who were hardstuck ascendant (plat with bigger egos) for many acts start abusing the agent like this and hit high immortal. I guarantee some have done it to radiant.
So?
If it was up to me I would just get rid of her entirely. Make a new agent that isn't designed to reward run-n-gunning. No more shitters using her as a crutch in my lobbies sounds like a dream
Exactly !!! An agent designed around run-n-gun has no place in a tac-fps
imo best fix would be making the bar not recharge, that way you have to be intelligent with your movement like a raze or jett, and can't just be running around for half the round
12-3 FK/FD on that map, 23-11 overall
sheeeeesh
When it starts with back to back jett aces... its a banger
I'm ngl i'm sure he's cracked and everything, but when he first started getting linked to fnatic he went live one day so i watched him in the background while i was doing something and every time i switched onto him and watched for a few mins he was getting shit on
Galorys 2-1
Impossible question to answer, but if Loud don't ban Fracture they're already down a map
2/8
You tried admirably but its just too ridiculous to be taken seriously, like good bait.
There are many fragging igls in this day and age (Valyn, Johnqt, Boo, Munchkin, Kingg, etc). He doesn't have that excuse anymore..
Alfa started inting every game
Maybe as the igl and emotional leader he should have done something to set him straight. And if this is a recurring problem (as it was through the season) they should have addressed it as a team before champs.
Hiro a new player came losing the team chem that was had previously
They played the best they have all year with Hiro in the lineup. It wasn't even close, it was night and day. And hiro played very well, especially as a rookie at his first LAN.
The fact that FNC did so well in 24 champs was due to Boaster igling-which took away from his aim
No it wasn't. Its not speculation, we can listen to it. Go to the DRX voice comms video for example and listen to 5:30 -> 6:10. And igl'ing isn't why he's whiffing an entire clip into an ulting sova 5 feet away from him
he was actually the 3rd best player on his team and in 23
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
winning almost every 1v1
Yeah cuz all they guys he would be 1v1'ing that year were already dinked to 140 by Leo Derke Chron or Alfa. God that is literally the most misleading stat of all time. Imagine thinking boaster is the most clutch player on the world (Even if you just look at Fnatic, Leo was the best clutcher and it wasn't debatable).
Disagree, clear Top (bottom?) 1 is ange1 considering the circumstances, and especially considering they won the previous event
The Contenders (Chronologically):
Xeppaa at Champs 21 : 0.46 R / 1 game (Liquid) / 0-1 Record
Russ at Copenhagen : 0.56 R / 2 games (PRX, FPX) / 0-2 Record
Ange1 at Champs 22 : 0.57 R / 4 games (DRX, LEV, XSET, DRX) / 2-2 Record
Boaster at Champs 24 : 0.55 R / 3 Games (TH, G2, SEN) / 1-2 Record
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My opinion - Worst to Least worst

Read my comment from here

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?
He was the goat before alireza was ever relevant
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
