Who would you cut, then?

aspas could never 🔥

I'll join a team in 2031. I won't win Champs but I'll probably die a few months after signing and get a really lame player card

I probably won't even be here this summer, so

Kirya (easiest fight to win + he's racist so it's relatively net positive)

In that case, no

It's a bit hard to have faith in a team like this sometimes, but I know we'll always pull through. So I guess I'd say I trust this team at the end of the day

I'd cut dignan (sorry bud, but you basically never play at this point so it's the only answer that makes sense)
I'd add Aayan (it's a shame he's in EU because he's been in and around the team since the very start)

I'm doing alright, man. How's things on your end? :)

In which regard?

I've seen a few people do one of these recently, thought it'd be fun to do one myself

You can ask me anything. I'll try to answer everything, including the ones that have nothing to do with me whatsoever

I feel like there's too few games to warrant that, plus the icons on the right side are very effective already

And why you feel the need to make this post, exactly?

Do NOT give Son Heung-Min to the Gooners

Normal Spurs behaviour

You mean Shadow_Monarch? Because same flag + flair (even though one is from Brazil and the other is from Minnesota)

My top 2 by FAR are Mystbloom and Sentinels of Light

shrike- betraying s0m was not on my 2025 VLR bingo card

Not even close

satr ar awap fkftfb

Thanks Disastered, I needed that

Good one

7 near-identical responses in 22 seconds is crazy

Battle of mid

MIBR only won 3 maps outside of Kickoff

Reminder that FURIA won 3 out of 5 games in Stage 2 last year

Top 2 isn't fair because ComeBack gaps everyone so tremendously

I'm averaging 5 hours of sleep a day since mid-February and it's slowly catching up to me

Where

I wasn't gonna post this but then again what if the replies are funny

If regular brainrot is "ts pmo icl ong" then would VLR brainrot be "satr ar awap fkftfb"?

Anyone calling flor a bad oper didn't see the ace on Split last week

Honestly, this just shows that Tejo is a problem. If you ignore the missiles and the ult, all that's on the site is a razorvine and an Astra smoke and star (i.e. very normal exec utility)

C9, MIBR, and 100T all have map records of 5-3. Sentinels has a map record of 4-3. That's the reasoning, for those curious

Oh no, I meant having one flair at a time is a good thing

Users having only one flair is a good thing

There's a difference between "can't figure out" and "can't be bothered to". Tier 1 teams have the analysts to figure him out; that's not a question. Top tier analysts are how the pros learn optimal ways to play their agents. There's just no reason for pro teams to look into Harbor yet. If there's a meta idea that works better than anything else out there, what's the point in trying to switch things up? This has long been the mentality of top teams in VALORANT—stick to what's safe, stick to what works. The few teams that played Harbor last year are teams like Karmine Corp, FunPlus Phoenix, and Nova Esports... teams that generally care less about what's meta and try to go for something unique. Teams would never borrow comp ideas from teams like that unless they just happen to align with future meta ideas (such as KC's Split comp last year).

In any case, Harbor wouldn't in this current meta anyway. Not because he's a good or bad agent, but because the meta relies so heavily on certain agents meshing together. Harbor works well with Yoru, but there's practically no synergy with Breach or Tejo—hence why you would practically never see them in the same comp.

KC's comps aren't bad. The clear primary reason why they're losing games is because there's massive flaws in their teamplay and mental, flaws that have shown themselves in every loss this year (other than Vitality) and that have nothing to do with the agents they're playing

Riot did say Harbor was in a rough spot right now but they're looking at almost exclusively ranked data and content creator feedback, and Harbor is statistically the worst agent in ranked in almost every single aspect. However, I already gave reasoning as to why this is the case, both for lower ranks and higher ones. They don't really look at pro play unless an agent is dominating like Viper was last year... the fact that they just buffed KAY/O is enough proof of that

SEN_FAN355 my goat

I'm not arguing that he's a perfect 1-to-1 replacement for currently meta controllers (e.g. Omen, Astra). Every agent has its strengths and weaknesses and every comp with said agent has its pros and cons. Subbing out a traditional dome smoker for Harbor isn't very different than subbing out a recon initiator for a Tejo or Breach... you lose some things, you gain others

I've been playing Harbor way longer than I've been a fan of Karmine Corp, don't drag a team I like watching into a completely unrelated conversation

My goat Saadhak can't even play Harbor that well 😢 he made several mistakes in Kickoff that contributed to losing them rounds (there was one Abyss round where there was a small gap between his cascade and the corner of a wall and he got shot through it, giving the attackers the site almost for free and forcing KC to save)

Harbor is objectively good on almost every map in VALORANT and the reason he's so unbelievably bad in practice is a combination of people not learning how to play him effectively in the pro levels (high skill floor + small mistakes are easily exploitable) and people not willing to play him in ranked because of his lack of selfish utility (kind of like KAY/O and Astra), which results in him seeing almost no play (and whatever play he does see is very unpolished)

To be fair, a classic is a full blown judge if you use it correctly on an eco round

Ok but have you considered mini stinger on pistol round

gamergirl isn't even French he's fake flagging

He already does that on his main account (gamergirl)

They're there for me

Sayf and Jamppi have been igling for the same amount of time, my guy
