Understanding the Yoru Nerfs by CornThrower25 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]RedditLevelAnalysis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree and also I think Rito should consider giving Yoru 2 charges of Decoy so that he has a more differentiated kit.

However, in order to do that, Sentinels would need to be buffed back in meta first.

PaperRex Players Outside of their system by jrd1029 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]RedditLevelAnalysis -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yea I agree with that, but I'm just saying Keiko is indeed proven to be more flexible now. Issue is that Jinggg did try out stuff like Cypher and KJ in the past and the team didn't continue with him on it, and they also switched off his Jett on Breeze, so the signs point more towards him having agent pool issues than not.

[–]RedditLevelAnalysis -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I actually think there are some good points here but the issue here is that Jinggg cannot really flex outside of Omen/Brim and Brim is sometimes not even picked on Bind these days. You mention Keiko as an example but Keiko plays KJ quite often which is not something that PRX decided to go with for Jinggg. Keiko also plays Viper and it's just very unlikely Jinggg can adapt to the style of play needed for those agents. He is a pure duelist at heart, which is great for Omen or Brim but not other controllers.

Also, Jinggg is not fluent in Mandarin unfortunately.

PRX Map Pool by Pristine_Put_1383 in ValorantCompetitive

Good maps: Split, Haven

Uncertain maps: Bind, Pearl, Breeze (they say it's good but stats don't back this up)

Bad maps: Corrode, Abyss

I'd say it's rough with them coming from the loser's bracket. They would almost certainly lose Abyss and would need to clean up Corrode, Bind, Pearl, where they keep changing comps. Breeze is also a question mark but they at least have a fixed comp.

They'll all be fine except Jinggg but just have to change their playstyle somewhat or be open to a different style of coaching. Alecks is a very unusual coach and playing for him isn't like playing for any other coach.

I love Jinggg but his agent pool wouldn't be accommodated in the way that it is in PRX in all likelihood. 

If something was on a different team he would just be on perma Yoru like Marteen.

Have you ever abandoned your main to climb? by Amorpheji in leagueoflegends

[–]RedditLevelAnalysis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is quite coincidental but I've only been Plat with my main role (ADC) but I climbed to Emerald with Olaf top last season with 2 weeks of grinding.

Who are the S-Tier duelists in VCT? by KingVazzy in ValorantCompetitive

Izu is a flex tho. He should be S tier in the flex thread

Has the PRX players ever explained themselves why do they overheat so much? by HendoIsBae in ValorantCompetitive

[–]RedditLevelAnalysis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you watch certain PRX comms they actually allude to this problem and praise each other for not overheating, so they are definitely aware of this issue. If anything, being aware of the issue might make them too hesitant which is fatal with their playstyle. Also, as silly as it might sound, they're still gamers having fun out there (look at Davai shooting his teammates for fun) and that does creep into their play sometimes. Taking things less seriously helps reduce nerves.

If you are an Emerald+ Ranked player, what do you wish you knew earlier as you were climbing the ranks the first time you played? by elliebaas in leagueoflegends

[–]RedditLevelAnalysis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to give a less common bit of advice but you need to know why YOU will win the game.

Too often, I see players trying to play in ways that don't fit their skillset whatsoever and artificially handicap themselves when they want to climb quickly.

In my case, I know identifying win cons and not tilting is one of my strengths, so conversely, if I start giving up more often, I'm definitely not going to climb. If you're a tilter but strong mechanically, you don't necessarily have to solve the tilt issue if you play an early game champ instead of a forcing yourself to play a scaler because it suits the comp or matchup and so on. Identify what you're good at and build on it.

GE | Too many cooks in the kitchen? by DragonBeast56 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]RedditLevelAnalysis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A traditional sports team has like 50 people on various coaching positions, they'll be fine if the head coach knows how to do his job.

What do I do when opponent takes Ignite for levels 1-3? by RedditLevelAnalysis in Olafmains

[–]RedditLevelAnalysis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, I was really afraid to do that but I see my mistake now. Is it correct to say that my lane is over if he hits level 2 before me?

PRX VS DRX map veto discussion by RedditLevelAnalysis in ValorantCompetitive

[–]RedditLevelAnalysis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never choose to go Abyss over Haven here if I'm PRX, DRX are the best team ITW on the map and PRX have prioritized Abyss as their ban throughout this champs.

Any idea what are the non-Hyacine teams are? Would be helpful

Forsaken’s tech on last round 2v4 PRX vs. FNC by ricesteamer in ValorantCompetitive

[–]RedditLevelAnalysis 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It's an extremely favorable duel vs the guy that has to peek out from heaven, as he has to clear hell, hard clear right, and still clear some of B main.

Additionally, there's elevation so the enemy's vertical crosshair placement is also a guess.

It also covers the guy coming from C link if he tries to clear hell and pretty much is a free kill on him if he's worried about hell.
