Obviously you'd be better at it with practice, but it's VERY easy to make mistakes with this kinda thing, even more so with VALORANT maps because they tend to be displayed pretty small. We're humans, not robots... we're not going to be able to draw perfect lines (straight or curved) every single time, and in a game like VALORANT where precise ability placement matters, it just sucks to have human imperfection as part of a vital ability. Yes, it CAN be better in SOME situations, but overall it's just significantly worse than what it already is

Lemme give you an example

Say you're hitting A on Haven and you do this wall: https://i.imgur.com/TnNDqcW.png

The CT wall doesn't need to be perfect, but the Heaven wall absolutely does. If it's too far back, they can peek in front of it; if it's too far forward, it's not smoking Heaven

If your Harbor walls are perfectly straight lines then you're not playing Harbor right. 99% of the time you're going to want to curve the wall—that's the entire point of the ability. It's not Viper wall

Anyone who is human is going to be bad at drawing perfect lines with a computer mouse

And I say two seconds because you NEED to be quick with utility in VALORANT. 2 seconds is generous; sometimes you want a smoke down IMMEDIATELY

I see so many people suggest this and none of them realize how clunky and impractical this would be

Do me a favour. Open up ValoPlant and try to draw any decent wall in less than 2 seconds. I almost guarantee you'll mess it up

I speak Canadian English, Levantine Arabic, a little Canadian French, and a tiiiiny bit of Turkish

The entire point of these changes is to make Harbor viable as a solo controller

The eyes of the Ruination finisher follow you

being worse than viper

Of course! Saadhak is my favourite but I like at LEAST a quarter of the players in tier 1 and a LOT of tier 2 players as well :)

I don't interact with targeted bait

ChatGPT valuing "high post count" should tell you all you need to know

As long as you take the time to learn machine learning you should be fine

No

It's a rumour but I'm not entirely sure. I didn't make it up, at least

I appreciate that :)

Not currently, but I probably have at some point

No, I am not balding

No, I do not think n1cf is balding. Feel free to ask yourself, though

Not a question

My favourite move so far has probably been Munchkin to DFM. All this team is missing is experience and he fills that gap very nicely

Pretty much everything, honestly. I had a completely different direction for Harbor in my head; these changes just feel like they take away any agent mastery Harbor players had while severely lessening his use cases

Safe answers: G2, BLG, VIT, DRX
My answers: KRÜ, FPX, KC, DFM

He spends too much time on VLR (especially for a 16yo, he needs to be working ahead if he wants a successful future) but if he's gonna be chronically online then I'd rather it be here than doomscrolling on TikTok

My dream career would be to work in public transportation design, but that's unfortunately not going to happen because government agency so I'm going into mechatronics instead </3

I'm very into science fiction. My two favourite book trilogies are The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner

Twisten and DaveeyS because I'm still saddened by their deaths and I'd assume this'd bring them back to live :')

ardiis because it'd be funny

I don't know very many guitar songs ngl, but you should try playing Vanilla Rain from StreamBeats because I think it'd sound nice :)

My all-time favourite is one of Elektronomia, Teminite, or Vexento, but I'd have to say my current favourite is Cursedsnake/Horsed

Usually connections and luck AFAICT but I'd recommend asking coaches directly so you get more accurate and helpful insight

Unrelated but I honestly thought your big upcoming thing was gonna be a coaching position announcement

Been a while since I've done one of these. First one was in April (https://www.vlr.gg/473751/cloudberry-ama)

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

Not even just VLR. YouTube comments, Reddit threads, Discord servers, hell even agent select in ranked games. WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THIS

Something like half the comments I'm seeing are some form of "hurr durr Viepr better" and it's driving me insane

STOP COMPARING HARBOR TO VIPER. HARBOR AND VIPER ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AGENTS

HAVING A WALL DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. YOU WOULDN'T USE HARBOR WALL TO LURK, AND YOU WOULDN'T USE VIPER WALL AS YOUR EXEC SMOKES ON A NORMAL MAP

IF YOU'RE COMPARING HARBOR TO VIPER INSTEAD OF OMEN THEN YOUR TAKE ON THE REWORK IS COMPLETELY INVALID. STOP MAKING THIS COMPARISON, IT MAKES NO SENSE

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Detonation FocusMe is definitely a dark horse for next year (at least on paper)

Most North Americans would, especially since every single TEN match was between midnight and sunrise for most of us and the casting is in Korean anyway

I skimmed through a couple VODs though, especially the ones where Wolves played Veto, just out of curiosity. Kinda cool seeing what these teams are coming up with early on

Just watch TEN instead

It's been fun to watch people try stuff out in the new meta. I really liked Wolves' Split against Heretics

Ofc, that's a given

Yeah, that's exactly why they made these roster moves. They just can't win without a Canadian and a Brazilian

I don't have any aces in VCT yet unfortunately

I thought that wasn't in Champions imma be honest, thanks for letting me know

You didn't play with/against a Sage today? You either didn't queue ranked or the world is healing

I am SHOCKED you didn't say Sage with the number of times you've crashed out about her playerbase

I'm glad Kicks is out before VIT do to him what LOUD did to tuyz (though it's already kinda happened with him flip-flopping between roles so much this year). Wish him all the best, he's a tier 1 level player and I think he's proved that over the past two years

First 6K ace post-franchising o7

Bump!
