I'm so confused what do you mean the best teams will play 1 duel, 2 ini, 2 senti (no controller?) but then all your examples have controllers

how do I vote if I don't think either NRG or LEV would've made it here

Displayed rank =/= mmr

I knew this thread would resonate with people

Come back in 2 years when it's Icy

Is premier fun I've always wanted to join a team

Off-season actually means nothing

Tejo will never be popular as solo initiator. No flashes and one recon charge is asking to get shit on. You'll be face-peeking everything and firing missiles at empty space.

What's with this okeanos team everyone is scrimming

enter Tacolilla

EG FUR G2 (mibr goes on a run once)

I was in the trenches for saying this when everyone thought he was gonna be OP but yes he's just another slow, team-dependent initiator, except he doesn't even have flashes or dogs to swing with

Focused on the long-term process of playing well and not the short-term result of winning

Aren't Miami and Bogotá servers closer though? That's why I was curious

So PR players generally play in NA servers? Interesting. Thanks

Unrelated, what servers do puerto ricans play on? I've always wondered

I'd be a hummingbird

Didn't EDG beat TH like 13-4 on Sunset

idk but FURIA needs to take a world travel class

Bangkok:

• EDG
• FUR
• PRX

Toronto:

• MIBR
• TH
• EDG

Paris:

• M8
• EG
• FUR

because most people are actually busy at school or jobs...??

So cool that she's having Icy just focus on his mechs this year because he's already good at the duelist role

Natank and Tex should swap wtf is this

Did they try it the other way and flop or something

kingg would farm on duelist ngl but then who would take over igl

I feel like they're still figuring out roles. I mean, are D1 and tex alternating duelist? Is one of them on full-time senti? Does kingg flex to senti if Demon1 is on Astra/Brim? Like idek

I live in Oregon and I get about 25-30 ping to Oregon servers somehow. California is like 40 ping.

I don't think anyone can answer for sure but expect g1-p3

Do you play on Georgia, Miami, Bogotá, or MX servers?

Idk if there's even anyone here but I've always wondered.

I've seen like two in the past year, good jinx

This isn't my ign anymore but hi 🧍

The highest that anyone can place is ascendant 1, so it skews everyone down by at least one full division.

What are you blabbering about

Saying jawgemo is out of contract jail in an official trailer is crazy 😭

Rumor has it that batujnax is having visa issues

Even in immo+, Kayo and Breach have substantially lower winrates than Gekko, Fade, and Phoenix.

It's not just the skill of the team, but an inherently lower standard of coordination when you have five randoms.

Like I said, most of his utility requires teammates or information to play off of. Those types of agents are all bad in ranked play compared to agents with selfish kits.

I'm not cloudberry but I've heard Qobuz pays artists way more and has higher sound quality

He's honestly pretty bad in ranked. The only thing he himself can swing off of is the stun. It's like playing Kayo instead of Phoenix

You're cooking

I really don't think he's gonna be that common at kickoff though. A secondary initiator with no flash is a pretty expensive agent to make room in your comp for

I didn't even think about how Vyse's pseudo-initiator capability perfectly complements Tejo being a secondary initiator with no flash

Fade seize and Vyse thorns also get huge value with missiles, damn

EG is usually the one trying to make new agents work but they seem pretty set on the Vyse grind idk

Wait now that I think about it, Vyse flash can somewhat make up for Tejo's lack

Fade + Tejo + Vyse + smokes + duelist could cook pretty hard on some maps

If she had exactly three flashes over the course of a round it'd be perfect. Any more is just too much and goes back to making Gekko bad.

The problem is it's awkward to implement that. Starting the round with three flashes is too much (and also makes her util the most expensive by far) but cooldowns are likely to give her more than three.

Maybe a cooldown of 60s? Or just arbitrarily make them only recharge once.

These companies are straight-up unethical. I support banning them, but like you said, there's always gonna be more popping up.

I know it's become a meme, but the fact that so many parents are raising iPad babies who are building the habit nearly from birth of consuming digital noise at the slightest feeling of boredom is going to have serious consequences.

It's literally addictive. I have never once gone overboard with alcohol, but I regularly struggle to put my phone down when I get caught in a doomscrolling fit.

And yes, it is ruining our attention and creativity. Something that isn't talked about much is that art is a product of boredom. For almost all of our history as humans, there would be hours a day where we just don't do anything. We used to fill it with just sitting around, thinking, processing our emotions. Sometimes singing or dancing or coming up with stories. It was idle time to simply let the brain run its course.

Consuming short form content takes that time from you. It's weeks, months, even years of never allowing your brain to stop and process your life. It goes hand in hand with insomnia, as lying down in bed and trying to fall asleep is exactly when all those strangled thoughts and emotions come through.

We call it "meditation" now, but it was something almost everyone used to do - sit in silence and just let your brain run.

It is every bit as scary as what you said in your last paragraph. This is intended by the people in charge of these media platforms.

You have to threaten the mound push to pressure them into using utility earlier.

If you're having trouble on C, call a duelist over to fight mound. You want to make them burn through flashes/recon to clear mound so they have less for dumping on site and post-plant. Tejo's weakness is that he runs out of utility very quickly.

edit: since you play Cypher, this is even more doable. You can save a cage to help you cross back to site from mound

I still feel like people would use it to just never learn new maps

Your reading comprehension is terrible.

Let me say it again more clearly.

"Abusive" is a loaded word associated with violence and assault. You're talking about cosmetics being too expensive in a game that is otherwise completely free to play. Don't be so dramatic.
