Not a SW main, but my friend is, I’ve watched countless hours of SW gameplay.

People cite her auto aim as the reason for her being low skill and I just think it’s such a lazy take…

Yeah she has auto aim… 2 inches from her face. You have to put yourself at such high risk to do any damage with her “skilless auto aim” and even then, it’s a really weak primary fire. So you can tickle people 2 inches from their face… but hey, you don’t have to aim!! So that means no skill gg

You finish kills with her cynthonian bursts, which… require aim and resource management..

Not to mention, cloak and dagger literally have 2 different auto aims that are both arguably better. CnD is called skilless, sure, but no one ever cites HER auto aim as the reason why.

Namor. Auto aiming turrets that he doesn’t even have to do anything aside from set and forget. And they reach across the map. Skilless. Starlord’s Ult is a KO machine and has auto aim..

Even someone like Thing. His haymaker you technically do have to aim, but at close quarters, the hitbox is so large it kind of covers the whole screen. I wouldn’t exactly call that skillful aim - as a huge Thing main… I assure you this move is entirely more skilless in terms of thought vs value received..

She is a terrible character. In order to get value out of her, you have to outplay your opponent on almost every front. Positioning, resource management, etc… or in other words, you have to be more skilled with the character to get value out of her than someone who plays a better character…

Just my two cents. Cheers 🍻

Haven’t played Peni in a while but I almost never see people mention using Peni’s nest offensively

In 1v1 or even 1v2 fights, i used to set the nest up behind my target while shooting and it essentially became a 2v1 or 2v2.

They either have to turn around to kill the nest mid-fight, or I get the annoying chip damage of the nest while also getting to use my full kit turning you into a killing machine.

Plus if you web them, and throw down additional mines, you can absolutely obliterate your opponent. This was one of my favorite techs

Again. Maybe I’m a noob and everyone knows this, but I’m chronically online and have played hundreds of hours of rivals and never see or hear of anyone doing this so I thought I would share

I’m working on a new personal project and have been pouring 12-15 hours a day for 9 days straight and have 4 or so to go.

One night I was dead tired, hadn’t met my quota for the day and thought, you know, I should just sleep.

For some reason this song started playing in my head

My body tells me no. But I do want more. I want so much more. So I didn’t quit.

As soon as I heard it, I hopped out of bed, put this song on full blast, and worked for another 2 hours, met my quota plus some, and felt like I did it on 10 hours sleep.

What a badass song. Don’t advise doing this all the time. It’s a limited run that I’m trying to sprint toward, but I’ll never forget that moment. Thanks YTG.

Cheers 🍻
