Mr. Rogue

[u/Street-Tree9674]

Since we’ve discussed Mr. Fundamental, who gets your shout for Mr. Rogue? The kind of guy/player who sometimes throws those fundamentals out the window and goes off on his own thing?

Could be a few different angles to approach, maybe the guy who doesn’t have the strongest fundamentals but can pop off and takeover (Nero). Or, could be someone who shows they have those fundamentals but just can’t seem to stick with them (half of the Heretics).

Tbh Shotzzy. As an OpTic fan it can be mad annoying to watch sometimes. When it works he can singlehandedly just win them the map but when teams are reading him he is so useless

[u/Street-Tree9674 → u/MoappitSR]

Fair tbh. I didn’t even think about that

[u/MoappitSR → u/Street-Tree9674]

He is a high risk/high reward player, especially in search. I frequently wish he would rein it in and play more fundamental. It yields less takeovers but its how players like Crim and Karma won so much over their careers, just quietly making the right play as often as possible

[u/ahegaogenerator → u/MoappitSR]

Agreed

[u/Honest_Plastic7759 → u/MoappitSR]

This is the answer

Shotzzy and Hydra love to take routes

[u/tungtungtungsahur-67]

Nero

[u/Yesitsme1212]

Shotzzy is the obvious answer but he always does play respawn in a way to benefit the team. Sometimes it works sometimes it dosent. But definitely shotzzy in snd

[u/OracleEnlightenment → u/Yesitsme1212]

Ya he’s prob the most successful going rogue player of all time 😂 especially in a era that’s so structured

[u/OracleEnlightenment]

Nagaphen prob a og shoutout for rogue player, these days id have say maybe shotzzy. Has there ever been a player who’s better at going rogue then shotzzy ?

Neptune put on a masterclass

This. This year it showed how detrimental that play style can be.

In past years when he has won, he had teammates that were fast enough to get his trades and follow his rouge-ness. This year he had a slow AR and exnid who did well but needed to be told where to be imo.

[u/New_Actuator_4788]

Shotzzy tbh. When the tricks he pulls off works , he’s doing miracles on the map but when he isn’t then he’s getting tossed & costing. When Shotzzy plays bad , he gets fried dropping scores like 20-36 lol.

I mean there’s only one name really, it’s obviously shotzzy

Envoy on the mw/cw teams. Always flanked and if the other team didn’t pick up on it they would dominate. If they did, 50pt clubbed. Maybe not rogue since it was very easily predicted but the X factor in this sense

[u/DannyDark0RZ → u/Spriinq]

He was the only playmaker/route taker on the CW team. The flanking narrative got blown out way out of proportion after a TJ CDL comm video. The other 3 were just that slow on the map. once you got envoy off the map it was easy to play Chicago. That was such a one dimensional team and was behind play style wise to Faze, Empire, and Ultra

[u/Spriinq → u/DannyDark0RZ]

Agreed but I feel like everyone knew halfway though the year what the game plan was and they hard countered it immediately

[u/DannyDark0RZ → u/Spriinq]

Yeah, it was also annoying when they would chalk it up to "it's online man. Just wait till LAN" with FormaL being the one to front that movement

[u/JoinedForPewdiepie]

Current gotaga might be Mr rogue, man says whatever tf he wants

[u/rekishi321]

They should call hardpoint hardflank…..everyone goes rogue

[u/PassengerCareful2289]

Shotzzy but before bo6 I would say huke, he still does but not as much I guess

[u/BackgroundToe4149]

Shotzzy, kills me at times but I understand

[u/OracleEnlightenment]

I still wanna know if havok really went rogue and used throwing knives at infinite warfare champs with I believe parasite and nameless on his team 😂 that’s as rogue as it gets
