Strawman argument.

If your argument is that VCT teams are abilities first teams, we are not watching the same VCT.
Players almost always choose the gun over the ability to solve 99.9% of the scenarios they find themselves in. Please do not make me show the entire video of any VCT game as an example.

Yes. There are four classes, duelist, initiator, smoke and sentinel. If some guy wants to make up categories because Magic also has categories, fine. As we have seen in tournaments, it doesn't help teams. OP is asking why no one picked him up, it is simply that most teams realize very quickly it's vapor. Adding up points for playstyle? Classifying abilities? Where is the actual insight?

This game is not Overwatch. Abilities are not used at the same rate nor for the same reasons. A player in Valorant can completely ignore his/her/they abilities. They simply play the base counter-strike game and can be successful.

In Magic the Gathering, the cards are abilities. Each card does something.

And of all the logical fallacies that the VLR discord is ready to attack without notice, you miss the authority bias? Statistical bias? Confirmation bias? Not to mention illusory correlation.

Also shoutout to the VLR fam that follows my posts and downvotes them!

Nah, you missed subtly of Lebron at the top of the key. The championships he got in the beginning belong to the "supporting cast."

Spurs were too strong and when Kawhi and Green filled the offensive holes left by the aging stars, they stuffed Heat with all the talent they could.

Stephen is a jackass. But I'm sorry, LeBron is a manufactured product. This sequence explains it all : https://youtu.be/coXloPKD8CA?t=260

Less damage, less stun/flash. More movement, more stationary defense or team based benefits.

There are no smurfs. There is a person in your game that is your equivalent skill. They build these games like pyramids. Most skillful at the top because they're harder to find, a group in the middle that is easier to find and the least skilled players.

This is why everyone is bored. They manipulate ranked just like Marvels does. You would feel more satisified with skill based match making but just like Marvels they used engagement based match making. It's great in the beginning to hook players but as we are seeing, the long term impact leaves the entire player base wanting and they will move on.

Viper and Omen are agents that don't require you to focus on utility. Takes that pressure off of d1 and allows him to focus on fragging.

Vipers = drop wall in the beginning of the map. No lineups for d1
Omen = default smokes and entry

VCT:

"Hey everyone! We've got an exciting banger of a match for you today. Team A has been doing really well lately. Let's go ahead and throw up a graphic of the team. Well as you can see they are doing really well and look at the numbers on the screen! Wow! Amazing! Oh but don't forget about Team B! Team B's superstar has been playing so well. I really like the protocols this team has setup you can tell Coach B is doing an amazing job at Org B. You can tell they've put the time in. Alright let's go ahead and start the match! Here's over to you Caster A and B"

Caster Switch:
"Wow! And you are sure right. We've got an amazing game today, what do you think random caster. Oh yeah! I really am excited for this one."

Game finishes:
"Team A just had what it took. I really like player A. Look at those player A stats! Wow! Amazing! But you cannot forget the effort that Team B put in. Team B was really good. Well that's going to do it for us. "

Politicians have family. You shouldn't wholeheartedly believe their rhetoric.

A couple years ago Tucker Carlson went to a fishing shop somewhere and a customer harassed him for the things he had said on Fox News. I've never seen someone collapse into the fetal position so quickly and blame it on their kids.
