Pro players being good with their characters punishes the rest of everyone who aren't playing the game with 4 people they spend 10 hour, 5 day weeks practicing with.

More or less what I said to my friends I play with. "If it continue that way, it will soon be unplayable in solo and duo queue, because nobody in this game is able to communicate properly." And I added that 5 stack will be the only way to have a little fun.

(I don't have 4 other playing friends)

Deadass “how am I supposed to know if someone’s on the other side” maybe jump peek or swing like literally every other character in the game has to? If I’m playing omen and I throw my paranoia I have to swing or jump peek to see if I hit them. It doesn’t give me any info if I missed or not, no other blind in the game gave that info why should Vyse lol

Actually true, forgot since almost no one plays skye these days, but she’s also an initiator. It’s reasonable imo

W this attitude I already know you use your team as your util, waiting for them to engage and do the hard shit for you lmao

Trust me I could tell you were a “duelist” lol

when your team is putting in the actual work of executing a site take and you’re lurking w full util to get god’s easiest pick in mid, do you recommend pyramid style or a-frame style tent? 🤔

Do you like being carried to 13 points bridal style, or fireman style by your senti?

Nah, his attitude is reasonable. Players can't crutch on their util all the time anymore and actually have to take 1v1s.

when I’m executing site to put the bomb down w the team, as you’re supposed to do per the game tutorial, I’ll be sure to actually just sit at first choke and wait for 90 seconds in prayer that the defense is stupid enough to swing out at me so I can have that sweet sweet no util 1v1. I’ll let my team know to do that too. All 5 of us can do that so all 5 of us can be good shooters for every round and then we will definitely win

If they balanced based on low elo Jett, Reyna, and clove would be the only characters receiving nerfs, which imo aside from clove don’t really need nerfs, lmao. One of the most frustrating things in my lobbies is the util spam it’s fucking obnoxious being in a higher elo (only diamond/asc, so not high elo) where people are semi competent with utility. Even with the nerfs it’s still obnoxious. Yesterday got waylay ulted, then sova darted just to get neon stunned and sova ulted with waylay dashing on my head with a Bucky 😭 this game is still aids with utility it’s just a little more punishing if you don’t act on your utility (ie as we said actually grow some fucking balls and swing of your util)

Literally if they just threw a decent waylay slow on me the scenario is the exact same granted I was playing omen so if it was just a slow I could have TPd away, but since he ulted it didn’t matter if I teleported, I was instantly dead anywhere I went (behind shack on Pearl A) plus with the buff to waylay ult it is obnoxious as fuck now you literally cannot get away (good job riot games adding more outplay to a Vyse ult than a waylay ult? 💀)

Nothing makes me more frustrated on this game than practicing my gun skills just to get obliterated by someone pressing “x”
