all good this is probably my last post on here anyway. Im going to EMT school i don't really have time. This game doesnt make me happy- it makes others happy-thats fine and Im happy for them.

you literally brought up a different game how am I moving the goalposts??? also thats the opposite of what I said. also most games have lower level pay depending on tier. val is all or nothing

I have more respect for a mosquito biting my ankle than riot

My main issue is the teams that make these changes are the same ones that were making changes ages ago. and theyre probably gonna be the same ones making changes next year. and the main cores that dont fuck around are the ones that have actually shot up. Or made comebacks in the season.

you mean the game they left open loopholes in tier2 for people to be bought specifically so they cant be brought into tier1? literally buying the competition so they cant play against u? yea they're really not fucking over anyone!!! im glad them making money makes you happy tho!!

I feel like I just lost my last bit of hope for the game with these comments validating the reality of life that every player gets treated like an NFL kicker. You miss 3 kicks in a row and they're looking for someone else. This is not beneficial to the esport. The things that you are happy about are just-teams. The best teams in a game will always be tied to certain orgs. Franchising isnt responsible for you following storylines.

I guess I'm just remembering last year when there was actually other things to report on

There aren't many games that get chinese viewers bc of that whole political realm over there but I promise u without that its mid-level.

Rocket league, smash even, every valve game, Crossfire made by Riot, Im pretty sure the majority of esport games dont have franchising.

teams lasted longer actually yes. dramatically less free agency... ??? and again-20 posts in a row

i think theres a difference between what production can be and what franchising is responsible for

20 posts in a row is pretty wild my guy

20 posts in a row on the front page are people being dropped/contracts not being renewed. You tried. It sucks. I'm not saying anything for myself I'm moving on to things that make me happier-but there's a lot of friends I have that want the dream and its just impossible. Rostermania will happen whenever big contracts end or big projects fail but its just EVERY TEAM. The worst part is this isn't the first tac fps coming from Riot-they have crossfire which is honestly fun(WILD but fun)-took nothing away from that. This game was made by ex-cs players-and they didn't seem to take anything away from how cs runs either.
Your innovation is fucking up people's lives. These are the people that let you sell shitloads of team bundles-and the ones that are trying to get ON those teams. You'd make more money exerting less control. Follow the dollar signs for all our sakes

valorant sucks to put money into

we averaging right? 168

well it would be kayo but he just hard replaced phoenix/reyna and played the exact same so he wasnt really an initiator first until fade was already in the game

fade is the initiator duelist that walked so gekko could run

So by that logic Leo is just a shit player???

-Role wise yay does play best as a "choice" entry not forced entry-this is fair to say. What isn't fair to say is that your entry determines their own success. If your lurker sucks you'll get worse percentages a majority of the time, if your igl is being hard read-ditto, if they anti strat w/ setups-ditto, if your team is uncomfortable-ditto.

Nobody is saying he is acting 'good' in the clips but dude you have NO idea what goes on behind the scenes. Its just disrespectful.

Talk your shit but don't get self righteous, thanks.

bc its from ppl that LITERALLY have no concept of a team environment and u get ur opinions from comm videos meant to hype the org and team up that is cherry picked BY the org

yea, this loud doesnt exist. lmao

with the amount of kinky shit the edating scene brings to light Im sure we're well versed as a community

ty ty <3

drop in the ocean by comparison (as far as experience) but I feel like theres alot of context people don't really apply unless you're a competitor. Just trying to explain that a bit.

yea that takes direct knowledge of the team/environment/opinions which I don't have. Might feel good might not. might've already tried it. no idea. Monyet would have to learn alot of agents to not be the raze player and at that point they'd just drop him first (at least thats what Id assume).

ok sorry, I didnt think about how that might look to 2nd lang speakers-Im saying, while playing jett for EG. Instead of putting him on Duelist-think fracture-they put him on brimstone because both Jaw is better at raze and Demon1 would have to also play extremely well in an entirely different playstyle.

agree

My argument is that whoever plays raze will pale in comparison not the team will look bad lmao. Also I don't even know what to respond to because there isn't even an argument here. ZOMG THE GUY WHO PLAYED WITH JINGG FOR YEARS AS DUELIST DUO SWAPPED TO RAZE AND LOOKED GOOD WOWWWW. like ???

I know what your opinion is you need to make an argument for it not just repeat it

Demon1 also never played Raze... idk what the last bit is about. If you believe that Raze is harder than Jett then that's cool I guess.

yea ik that was the point. he played smokes before another entry duelist.

As far as the rest, the reason I brought up disease strains as an analogy: 1 strain can be extremely commonplace and not really dangerous to contract, while another strain of the same disease can be fatal 100% of the time.

The things that Paper Rex are missing have nothing to do with base Raze gameplay. The end.

yea this is not the argument I expected to have in this post

do you think that people are starting to overrate jinggg to put down monyet?

no

you know how diseases have strains? apply that to playing raze. hell apply that to playing reyna in ranked vs tier 1. A generic pro thats comfortable on raze does not get the same shit done that Raid Boss Jinggg would and its not just how mechanically skilled Jinggg is- its playstyle and speed to decision making. Monyet gets alot of false positives but we need to acknowledge how EVERYONE accepts Paper Rex playstyle is unique and insanely volatile/fast paced.

Demon1 played brim before he played raze lets be real here. I have nothing against the dude and I feel like my point doesn't need me to defend it.

edit: also you understand jett entry is smoke-dash into smoke- right?? it is the only duelist that you can make space without dying bc u cant turn fast enough PLUS the design of jett comps is to set that play up with as much util/targeted util as possible. Raze gets a flash or stun and goes WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Demon1 plays 1 role and that is "shoot people that are all explicitly in front of me(no spinny spinny entry shit)" which is at the opposite end of the spectrum from Jinggg: the player with the most fluid movement and dynamic usage of raze in the world on top of insane situational awareness and aim.

Im not trying to talk shit about Demon1 but the complexities of the 2 roles we're talking about here are not even close.

I agree with the sentiment more than the broken down example used. demon1 was know for exactly what eg wanted him to do within the region or scene at least.

:P

he seems like a great dude, insane vibes at least visually through the turmoils hes been going through. Im 25 and I have to give huge props to this guy's mentality at 18. he looked, BETTER but that consistency Jingg brought is a ways away.

yea it looks really good but forsaken has become such an insane flexible player itd be funky working monyet into such varied agent picks. lots of reasons for and against that I can think of.

Personally I have been critical of Monyet and his performances, but for the sake of sportmanship and just acknowledging the situation in general; Most teams change to fit their new player, this team had the new player change to fit the team.
I promise the amount of pros we all know, love, look up to, anything-are not capable of performing in a system that is made for other people. He has so much energy its so fun to watch him-its starting to feel like just beating a dead horse purely to make someone feel like shit. It'd be one thing if there were more arguments made saying he isnt statistically in the dumps but I dont see that.

Paper Rex ran raze all the time because jinggg is the goat. Their playstyle as a team developed around that potential. You can not fill those shoes.

I know I'm not changing human nature with this post; I just want people to think about how viciously the scene is going after a guy that nobody could TRULY replace. omg player do so bad must replace!!!! With who?

yep thats going in my retirement tweet

dude leaf takes 18 swipes and a mortgage to do a 180 its fine to put him on senti. icy is a good listener duelist relax.

delete this

You think he'd stay there if that position is offered? I have no idea but you act like theres permanence in the move to EU

u got it bro

bc this post has no point. if we're saying the org didnt actually do a shitty powermove the title "lev lied" is just brain damaged bc its implying theyre bad when they're theoretically the good guys. and if we're talking shit about any of the players that half the post is about (what my post is memeing) then its also brain damaged. matching energy

wdym a player didnt just nuke bridges bc an esports org did something naughty? must be an inside job! thank you for bringing this to our attention I say we storm brazil

america has always helped their french allies succeed vs the british

thanks man! feels good to have your support after a short disagreement! im glad we could put our differences aside :)

u can bm all u want Im proud of the skills I've gained from the time I've spent, not proud of how long it took to realize the importance of team environments>skill + brain. and at the end of the day ur still more broke than me

lotta unactivated gaming sadge

yea thats what im cookin i gotchu
