The Stinger-Spamming One-Trick Riot Just Can't Nerf

  • In some games, players do everything in their power to avoid using certain characters or weapons because they just... suck.
    Of course, there are those who have rummaged through the trash tiers of their respective esports and emerged with riches that have made them into legends.
    Now just because Valorant is the new kid on the block, doesn’t mean it’s an exception to the rule.
    Valorant has a pretty well-established meta, and yet, there are players like Nathanielle "SkuLLy" Liong, who have passed on the Phantoms and Vandals of the world for much crappier guns.
    SkuLLy made his name as a Stinger-spamming Reyna one-trick back when the gun was broken, but he's managed to remain relevant even after Riot nerfed the Stinger into the ground.
    And he's both used and abused the unpopular pea-shooter to built a community on Twitch.

      What i love about using guns/characters that are hot garbag like the stinger is that if you lose, you can attribute it to using that pick. If you win on the other hand, it's just that much worse for the enemy losing to such hot garbage. Win-win scenario for me especially since i don't chase rank anymore and just play to have fun.
