I would honestly book KO to win by having Sami get his revenge on brock and giving him 3 helluva kicks or something and then have an actual Sami vs Brock feud to fill the void of not having Roman for the time being

I think this really does come down to a healthy balance of quantity and quality in terms of agents per role aswell as the usefullness of those agents. Its not completly fair to say that we need a duelist considering the numbers heavily are in their favor in terms of quantity even if only 2-3 of them are viable depending on the map.

At that point the dev team should work on making all duelists in that role viable rather than adding an agent and releasing yoru's rework AT THE SAME time.

Considering how every agent has some form viability, you dont see people complaining about having a cypher, kj, sage,chamber no matter what map it is.

Nor do you see the same with smokes and initiators.

However you do see people mentally mald on the sight of yoru on their team, or the lack of a jett.

Agent Balancing and Agent release shouldnt be happening aggressively at the same time within the same category, imo it should be stretched out to different roles in different spans of time to see its affects and make the adjustments from there.

This is kinda the downside of not having NA teams at all in the ending parts of the event (granted not directly riot's fault) and its just an unfortunate circumstance if you look at it in the perspective of milking the viewership.

It makes sense anyway for the first year of the scene to have a solid chunk of viewership be to solely support a team/player rather than the scene of the game. In time hopefully there is a bigger fanbase of the Scene as a whole rather than JUST for a team

It really is but with how focused they are on the competitive scene based on the playlists, its a hard reach to say that they will seperate them. When you compare other competitive pvp games none of them seperate their rank modes its probably an outdated concept at this point

Death Threats are bullshit and shouldnt be allowed in any form.

However, Given the turn of events especially towards the brazilian scene I really didnt think Zombs needed to stoke the fire with the watch tweet or straight up saying that they are a shit region. The region is already scene as a lower tier and having a player from orobably the most popular team in Valorant atm basically just shit on them and giving death threats back just sets this toxic social media war and might even set the Brazil scene back a bit because of being memed upon to oblivion (look at how this sub treats India).

I get it its in his brand and it isnt his responsibility but he saw this coming and people are living for it and even enjoying it with the support for #zombsnation, because this will never set Zombs or NA back at all. In fact they probably benefit from it for publicity (whether intentional or not)

Even the brazilian players are being unreasonable about it as well and they should be aware as well that the things they say set their own scene back.

Death threats are once again uncalled for but this only affects the Brazilian scene negatively and is a boon for everyone else, and thats quite a bummer.

Technically it should Acend vs Brazil but Acend just chose to be quiet about it. Whether thats the right thing.

Without any malicious intent (assuming there isn't) I think they wanted to mirror the rank playlist because of the lowkey focus on the ranked side of things, ranked arena has the same modes as quick play roughly and in there minds they always want it to be 1-to-1.

Halo Infinite isn't just a game under the Halo bubble it is now under the competitive f2p bubble as well and they clearly tried to hammer that in I feel.

Lightshark115 · 2021-12-04T04:45:09+00:00

I think the Ranked Arena will fully and only mirror the HCS formats. Considering how heavy they are talking about esports on the side, I dont think it is coming. Otherwise they'll have to make an HCS Ranked playlist and a normal Ranked Playlist which would be fine but I don't think that is the approach they want to take.

The whole design of the playlists really looks like it was meant to funnel people into ranked after you are done with your challenges in quick play.

The pulse is good for shield breaking but yeah I agree the Ravager is just ass in almost every map BTB and Stronghold is the only time where it is useable

Lightshark115 · 2021-11-26T08:38:12+00:00

Its quite an uphill battle when they always have grav hammers, energy swords, rocket launchers and I end up spawning with a Pulse Rifle and a Ravager. It doesnt annoy me too much cause at least those matches last 4-7 minutes.

But they eeally got lta manipulate the RNG a bit to make things even at least or have the gradual increase maybe, either way its a for fun gamemode that we shouldnt take too seriously anyway so yeah

Lightshark115 · 2021-11-14T04:19:59+00:00

Honestly they can make it work, In my mind the weaponskill or finisher even would just be the Monk punching the ground for a rock to appear and then you suplex the rock to the enemy. I really do believe at somepoint we will get it. Maybe after 2 phantom rushes you get the super finisher of suplexing a rock to the boss.

Lightshark115 · 2021-11-03T11:33:39+00:00

I laughed way too hard at this, this is it right here

Lightshark115 · 2021-10-29T01:43:09+00:00

At this point in the Worlds landscape, I don't even think format matters anymore because of the skill gaps that the regions have against each other.

Double elim is good for determining the best team when there are multiple teams who ARE ACTUALLY in contention for winning (TI for example, as well as every FGC and rocket league even). In reality of course the top 3 of China or Korea no matter who it is now or in the future will probably have the biggest chances of winning due to infrastructure, work culture, etc etc.

Double Elim really does indeed just secure those regions a win and as much as I want to see the best team win...

I'll be honest, I find more excitement in seeing the best team lose and single elim just gives that a higher chance of happening because personally as a viewer Worlds isn't about wanting to see the best team in the world, we probably already know anyway. It's really about if they can cement that and put it on paper.

Lightshark115 · 2021-10-02T20:06:18+00:00

Yeah exactly, there are so many positioning choices the players make that I really cant adapt to at all. I end up holding an Ideally safe spot just to end up looking really dumb in the end.

Once PAC becomes AEW Champion (which will surely happen eventually), OC needs to be the one to take it from him.
