      @@mejasiart8817 Not exactly because Reyna exist. She excels in 1v1 scenarios meaning she for the most part doesn't need a team.
      Its the reason why 1vN clutches are a lot easier with Reyna because she allows you to essentially fight 1v1's again and again provided you can separate those fights from each other.
      Other agents need teammates to enable them with varying degrees, it's just that Neon in particular needs a lot of help from teammates to fully capitalize on what she allows your team to do.

    This video just highlights how INSANE optic is with utilities, everything is pre-calculated and orchestrated, also nothing is ‘improvised’. At this stage valorant is more about the ‘tactical’ part and not the shooter part, this is why a team like sentinels just does not keep up with the meta bc they are stuck with their old ways of just ‘fast hit B site’ or the same old defensive setups

      Nah the games matured a lot, people thinking jett is trash were just plain stupid in all honesty how could she ever be looked at as bad? Rn the meta is self sufficient characters that can also enable teammates by enabling themselves. Jett, skye, chamber etc. Agents that need team work just never get picked much in ranked matches because it’s to unpredictable synergy is a hard thing to find with randoms. That’s why only smart players can make these agents work as they essentially use their teammates as puppets and even then still have a hard time.

    Well this is definitely re-assuring. I felt by design Neon was good at creating early pressure and even has the potential to fake push a site and still find time to support the team in their push to the opposite site. I’ve seen her be played in a lurk-ish sense, but given her sprint ability she can most easily play with the team. But I agree she shines the most at working with the team at opening the site and disrupting the pace of the game by punishing defensive plays (I.e. catching a Sage/Raze offguard as they finish their animation for throwing slow/grenade) out in the open

    ive been saying this for the longest. her stuns which could clear 2 corners w/ big area hit is really good. Her speed which creates really fast gameplay which forces enemies to think fast (in a slow game valorant) creates so much pressure. she has fast map rotations too. The only problem is you need to set her up, but thats it. Wait till they buff her ult then shes A to S tier imo (in pro team wise not necessarily ranked).

  • @arcanathehermit6787
    @arcanathehermit6787 Před 2 lety +19

    Okay I am genuinely curious. How should I enable her as a teammate in Soloque in the way these pros do it. I usually play Omen or Chamber in the a silver/bronze ranked lobby and I will try to follow the entrying neon and follow up for kills. I will also try to smoke off common angles of course. However, in soloque, teamwork and communication like the pros are highly variable. For example, a neon player unwilling to talk on VC. How do I follow up with that player?

    • @ValorantAscended

    • @Zed-xl9nv
      @Zed-xl9nv Před 2 lety +5

      You follow up that player by doing things pre-emptively. Like if you’re using omen, flash a certain spot when your team or neon is ready to push that area. It doesn’t matter if you flash too early since in your elo, comms is hard to come by so it would be better using utility early when your duelist is ready or at the perfect time (prone to mistakes if you are assisting an unexperienced player or random).

    Video: "Pros Play NEON... Why Don't You?"
    Also Video: *shows above 20 iq level of coordination
