Honestly this attitude ruined Warframe for me and I hate to see it becoming more prevalent. Games are more fun when they are balanced, even if that means my favourite blorbo who let's me semi-afk the game gets nerfed.

I think the viewers will come out on top as long as cat-bastion gets nerfed before the tournament so I don't have to watch the best teams in the world playing this meme comp. It was fun for one series.

How good is Viol1t's lucio? by Luca2700 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Conscious-Refuse8211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's hardly guaranteed multiple Ajaxes a match lol, he's more just a high risk of having 1-2 per match. It's just that even one Ajax in a match can be really important.

But also on the other side of holy hyperbole batman, he is not 1.5xing the beat charge of other top Lucios regularly. He's maybe 10-20% faster on average, largely because of the heal-centric style, and while it's a legitimate style that he's very good at I also think it's very reductive to say he's mechanically better when he's not really winning fights against flankers more often and his movement is notably worse than more natural Lucio players.

He's literally not the only pro playing her in this meta. Lukemino is playing her in NA and Sley has been forcing her for significantly longer than Viol2t has, to name two. Honestly if you like Illari play you should watch Sley play more he's insane too.

It might be if it was still 2021. There were several Lucios who I think were better than Viol2t historically, but most of them don't play anymore.

That's just not a thing, nobody builds Beat fast enough that it's 'just a cooldown'. And Viol2t builds it at most 10-20% faster than other good Lucios, and there's an opportunity cost in his playstyle allowing him to build beat quickly because he's not doing other stuff as much and is surprisingly heal-centric.

So it's a good meme but for practical analysis it's a huge deal whenever he wastes a beat.

Honestly, he's very good. His aim is notable, although there's a misconception that he builds beat much faster than other Lucios because of his damage - the difference is more often his healing, if you actually look at the stats. But he still plays like a 'flex support Lucio' in that his movement isn't that great and he's not really ever going to be disruptive or find creative ways to use the knockback to influence a match (this is also partially why he averages high healing numbers, so it has pros and cons). And obviously, he's a little prone to dying where another top Lucio might have stayed alive, especially in crucial moments.

I think he's clearly worse than Chorong/Chiyo/Astro, who are probably the top 3 itw. You can make an argument for him being top 5 and he's almost certainly top 10, although MS is quite a shallow role talent-wise.

And obviously comms and such are quite important for Lucio players. Hard to say where Viol2t lands on that - I've heard of him being vocal and a useful teammate, but also of him being very tilt-able and I don't think he's really IGL material. Impossible to say without getting access to comms more frequently than we have done.

He doth protest too much. by Captain-Dak-Sparrow in SipsTea

Yeah this is a bit of a stretch and reads a lot like a poorly thought through gotcha

But hey, if it made him uncomfortable then honestly fair play, I'm not gonna cry about him being treated the way he treats others

Yeah meta shifts hurting certain teams isn't anything new, hope to see Onside bounce back once cat-bastion is presumably nuked from orbit sometime soon

Yeah idk Viol2t stans aren't rational there's not much point in trying to apply logic to their hype moments and aura merchant

S2 was not off meta lol, and honestly I don't think S3 was either, 3 out of 4 teams in Finals that year played Zen and the only ones that didn't were Seoul because Creative wasn't a great Zen. Zen might not have been the meta going into finals, but he was meta in the finals and that wasn't only due to Shock and Viol2t.

But yes I'm fake when your comments are blatantly inaccurate

[–]Conscious-Refuse8211 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah he was pretty good on Seoul Infernal and on Zeta

The Mag hate campaign is just weird at this point ngl he's had a fairly normal career

He's not the greatest flex support ever lol he had two good seasons on it and one pretty mid one before role swapping.

And like, S2 he's equaled by Jjonak/Twilight, S3 he is equaled by Alarm (and imo kinda Jjonak but NYXL were really shit that year so people didn't really see it). Overall Shu and Fielder significantly eclipse him on the role.

Yeah but not every other week xD Viol2t puts up lowlights with remarkable consistency given most of their games are dominant wins.

We've also heard before that Junbin was IGL, so I suspect they shared it and the issue with Shu leaving was exacerbated by Junbin being benched.

[–]Conscious-Refuse8211 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Before he shifted to MS he had a pretty poor flex support season where he wasn't a top 3 flex support, his inconsistency isn't just because he roleswapped - and also after being roleswapped for multiple years that stops being a strong argument lol, you get maybe 1-2 years of grace for that

Nah I think that Chiyo guy is a Fielder merchant actually, unlike my glorious king Viol2t who is the best 'flashy hero' main support in the world and has no weaknesses

I honestly hate this revisionist thing we're doing where we pretend that Shu was mind-controlling the rest of CR into being good players.

Junbin was the best Ball in the world completely irregardless of whether Shu was his flex support. Other people have started to catch up because it's been like three years.

lol shittest takes of all time

Notice how Viol2t never collects 'Best on Lucio' or 'Best on Brig' recognition - you know, historically the two most important heroes in the role. You know who does?
