Isn't that 100% rng

I appreciate bees for giving me great feedback on each thread I post in my balancing agents series

I try very hard not to do it, but sometimes I simply have to just to be able to focus on my own game. I do lose more on average when muting everyone, though, so do with that what you will

A "new phase" could mean a LOT of things, man. It could be as simple as shifting the power between him and the coaches

Here are the KDAs from Asuna's KAY/O Ascent games in Split 2:

17/19/20
14/21/13
16/4/11
14/13/24

Do you see the kind of numbers he's putting up assist-wise?

• You can't dodge his flash (you actually can in some cases but I'll give it to you) but you can shoot it
• It gives you the general direction of the players but if you're flashing through a smoke then it can be difficult to tell exactly where they are, especially if you have to go off sound cue
• Wingman does give you an advantage in planting the spike but if he goes down then you can be in a bad spot (Bind is a decent example of this)
• His ult is good; it's like most ults, where the minimum value is pretty low and the maximum value is very high

Overall, he's a great agent, but he's not broken per se

No way to tell. For all we know a 5 stack of ranked demons could win Ascension through Premier

He needs to perfect his Harbor fr

It's not overpowered, per se, but it's a very good ability nonetheless. It's definitely what you want to be creating your setups around

Vyse does NOT look like a ranked agent. And either way she's not even out yet so how would we know

Keiko duelist
Soulcas recon initiator
Jamppi flash initiator (+ KJ on maps where nAts goes Viper like Icebox and Lotus)
AvovA controller
nAts sentinel

Why are you stalking Jinggg's mom on Instagram is the real question

Plus with the info Vyse gives you with the flash, you could easily run single initiator

We could see Killjoy Vyse comps next year similar to the Cypher Deadlock ones we saw this year

How are these? I personally really like the second one

How do we have Saint Pierre and Miquelon but not San Marino

Hamsters like to keep to themselves and live for up to 3 years; guinea pigs like to be social and live for up to 7 years. Not sure how valid that information is but that's what I've learned

:D

...😨
Dude, I hope you're alright

That's all really really cool, man! Congratulations on getting married :)

Fair enough

I agree with this take. I find a lot of value running solo Astra in solo queue, especially on maps like Haven and Pearl

You don't have to participate if you don't want to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Interesting! I also skip a stair while going up just because it's faster; I'm kinda scared to do it while going down though lol

Very interesting

He's a Spanish comedian/actor who died in the spring of 2021. The emote's still used because it's iconic

Sounds to me like you're a slow learner

IKEA furniture assembly. I will literally clear my entire schedule and spend 3 hours putting together a TV table whenever I get the chance

That's more than fair. Reed instruments can be insufferable to play

Nice! I played alto sax from 2022-23, but haven't since. Which one did you play + where did you start?

That's a decent idea, but he's kinda just a pocket pick for now

Good to hear :)

I call bs

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No, like every gun in the inventory. From the bucky to the ares

No, ALL the skins they were using. For all five players. Including the ones they didn't buy during the game

I believe Kirya is the new spreadsheet guy

Team Falcons/The Ultimates will still win Ascension, I have full faith in them

I usually use the same Viper setup 12 rounds in a row: https://imgur.com/a/QCIKWPH
As for attack, I haven't actually gotten an Ascent game yet without a Clove on my team, so I don't really know yet. I guess it would be a bit of a problem. If I was solo smokes I guess it would be better to go Omen

Hold on a minute, lemme get on my laptop

Imagine ZmjjKK vs. jawgemo on the Neon

Update on Akai: he has mandatory military service so he's quitting esports, at least for now

That's really cool, dude. I personally edit photos with paint.net plugins and I get pretty decent results, but idk if that'd satisfy most people

Super neat stuff! Is there a specific thing you like to take photos of? (e.g. nature, streets, animals)

Less arc :D

I guess that could work

Ty for feedback :)
Here's my thoughts:

• Viper's the only agent I can find cross-map value with, plus she has some really good stuff on this map. Also Deadlock is not only pretty good on Abyss but also no one knows how to counter it because it's uncommon. I do know how to play Cypher on this map but I haven't gotten the chance to yet
• I can play Omen but I saw nAts play Viper Ascent a few times and it sold me ngl. Might go back to Omen someday but for now I'm finding consistent value from Viper on this map
• There are only a few maps where I prefer Astra over Omen, and Haven is one of them. Her smokes feel easier to get out quicker (think A exec smokes, for example), plus her ults are great for both attack and defense
• I actually used to one-trick Harbor... I have almost 200 hours on him. I prefer him on Icebox just because I'm so much more comfortable on him (plus he's meta for a reason; he's great on Icebox)

Ty, time to start my Viper main arc woohoo

If it happens we're probably ending up with pANcada sentinel and johnqt flash initiator. That being said, I really really really really don't want it to happen

That's definitely one of the pets of all time. Also (preemptive) congratulations!
