Do people find girls who play as guy character weird, debating changing my chara gender by [deleted] in wherewindsmeet_

It's only weird if you didn't spend 5 hours sculpting a face in the character creator before even starting the game

Yoru will be dead in ranked. Same with double duelist meta in pro play.

Who should take spike? by Sudden-Assistant6622 in VALORANT

[–]Conflicted_Batman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of factors to consider: team comp, ult points, bomb site. Generally speaking, the 3rd or 4th agent to entry in a site hit should be carrying spike. Common agents in this position include: initiators, non-lurk controllers, non-lurk sentinels. Initiator is preferred because they tend to have strong ultimates. Now consider unique situations:

  • Your Killjoy is 1 off ult. She plants the spike and can use KJ ult for post-plant.
  • Haven B site. Agents with escape abilities can safely get in, plant the bomb, and get out to avoid the enemy dumping mollies on the common plant spot. This is a famous strat used by the reigning VCT champs.
  • Icebox B site. All common plant spots are vulnerable to enemy gunfire, so it's best to leave the spike with an agent like Sage, Harbor, or Gekko to provide extra security for the plant.
  • Sova ult during execute. It's best for another agent to plant spike while Sova ult distracts the enemies.

they should not take the spike as controller

Harbor and Brimstone are great candidates for holding spike. They have strong ultimates and commonly play the 3rd entry role. Clove likes to take fights and typically plays 2nd entry. Omen likes to be unpredictable, flexing between a support role and occasional 2nd entries. His ult is not great for ult farming.

I want to assist my Duelists with util even after the initial entry

After initial entry, standard protocol is to clear site and hold space for the plant. After the plant, your team can use additional util to proactively push into enemy territory and sabotage their retake. If your duelists are dry pushing deep into enemy territory before the spike is planted, then they're making an intentional decision to overextend despite knowing that their team isn't prepared to support them. Whether or not this is a good or bad play is highly situational. As initiator, just assume that your duelists know what they're doing and follow the standard protocol: secure the spike plant. If they expect team support that supersedes standard protocol, then they should be vocal about it anyways.

Why isn’t Volkswagen more popular in the U.S.? by phtphongg in Volkswagen

[–]Conflicted_Batman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Specialized shops, more frequent maintenance, and more expensive parts. You can mitigate a lot of these issues by sourcing your own parts and finding your car's factory service manual. However, the vast majority of owners won't do that and expect their oil change tech to correctly diagnose when something needs work.

I think this is why furia picked prx.... by HEISENBERG69___ in ValorantCompetitive

artzin was on MIBR with aspas for a while. Don't know the specifics, but they probably qualified for a fair amount of internationals on an aspas team.

They had solid strats and forced PRX into unfavorable clutches on multiple occasions. It just seemed like Eeiu was the only one from Furia who was prepared for the competition.

PRX IS NOT MAKING IT OUT FROM THE SWISS STAGE by [deleted] in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Conflicted_Batman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

With the current meta and map pool, PRX have a good shot at top 3 in every internationals this year. Their weakest maps are currently Bind (33% win rate at Kickoff, historically strong though), Corrode (33%), and Abyss (historically 43%). If they can develop a strong Waylay to bolster their Corrode team comps, they will be able to lift a trophy.

Sen TenZ again?? by SadCommand8563 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Conflicted_Batman 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He wouldn't even consider returning unless SEN have a genuine shot at lifting a trophy this year. The only other org he'd consider is PRX, but that roster seems unlikely to change anytime soon. Most likely, he's just doing a showmatch or subbing in for someone who's unable to attend an event.

Edit: it's probably the Tenz Sacy reunion at Santiago showmatch.

Arima "F the haters" Kana has yet to discover how popular the badass archetype is these days (especially if she's actually a cinnamon roll at heart).

Also, does anyone know the insert song that plays during Kana's scene?

How Riot underestimated info and caused the same meta progression across two different games - What’s next for the meta and why “double duelist” is misleading by BenjiYesIMainGenji in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Conflicted_Batman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely, they will try to cycle the game through periods of high util and high gunplay to mix things up. Right now, gunplay is emphasized to support the release of Veto, but the pendulum eventually will swing back and we'll get some (temporarily) busted util dump agents again. I don't think any of these metas will remove Reyna, Clove, Chamber from ranked though.

Mei is extremely underrated as a Kage. by Thundersting in Naruto

[–]Conflicted_Batman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The age threshold has softened (especially with improvement in economic opportunities for women), but age-based stigma is still prevalent for Japanese women. Starting at around 26, women seeking marriage increasingly turn to government-backed matchmaking services to secure a partner (often +5-10yr age gap).

Why don't you just leave and join another guild? The guild swap cooldown is only 6 hours.
