All seems pretty reasonable to me, though I think making the bullets more expensive is a little much

Wow looks like Neon's ult will be more worthwhile in high elo/pro play and a little less powerful in low elo.

I changed my mind.
I'm not sorry.
They're totally fine. Bullet cost increase is an awesome change imo. Maybe other stuff shouldn't have been tweaked as much besides ultimate cost.

Franchising is still so weird for me in the world of esports. I’m still extremely wary even though riot has found some success with it in League.

Debating on whether the Champions 2022 bundle is worth getting. One the one hand, the gun is pretty sick. I really like the way the gun changes depending on the number of kills you have and the finisher after getting the final kill with the gun in the round. On the other hand, the knife is nothing special and you need to fully upgrade all skins for it to be really worth it.

Kinda sad I had to miss out on the Reaver 2.0 bundle due to travelling, would have been perfect as an Omen main.

So apparently the new agent got leaked, codename 'Mage'. Take it with a grain of salt, of course, but looks legit. Very interesting abilities, I wonder how useful 'Bubble' will be for spike plants and defuses.

it's going to be super quick like a jett smoke and it specifically calls out "bullets" so other utility will go through

not a big fan of shields and if this is them pushing shields it'll probably turn me off of valorant tbh

Even if it is short I think it can change gameplay. People generally wait to peek when they hear the defuse sound until some time has passed just in case it's a fake, that might change now.

But I agree, not a fan of shields either, I really hope they don't push them too hard. At some point, there are just too many utility types you need to play around.

This has now seemingly been confirmed to be fake, the guy who made it published a video on TikTok showing how he created the image.

I mean, it would be incredibly stupid to partner teams based on how well they perform currently. Players come and go all the time and so many teams have entirely different rosters every two years or more. Better to go with established and big brands that know how to monetize and the players will find their way to them.

They really want to force people to play duelist huh? It's also a little ridiculous they're making these changes while letting Chamber be a must pick basically.

Ah right, I wish they were more specific about it.

Anyway, looking forward to the new controller.

Not a fan of the changes they're making to maps to remove the nooks and crannies, especially in Pearl where it seems like the whole point of the map was the nooks and crannies in the nest of corridors through the mid.

I'm not great at clicking heads most of the time and mostly only play this game cause it's the only thing all my friends want to play these days but I can at least get kills and have some fun getting a judge or a shorty in save rounds and sneaking around and shooting people where they aren't expecting me but it seems like they fully intend for that to be harder and harder.

It's really not good Counter-Strike map design and they really needed to have just offered FMPone an enormous amount of money to come work for them as a map design lead from the get-go.
