Wouldn't it be nice to have tutorials for:
Holding lanes
Being a gem carrier
Pushing up as an aggro to create space for the team
How to play brawl arena
How to not jump into 3 counters with hyper super as an Edgar with 10 gems or 7 bounty stars
What do y'all think?
last pick primo
completely optional to play the game
First of all, if you are a team in SA or SEA, I will tell you what you gotta do to make it to worlds.
Play only three "monthly" qualifiers + finals that occur in the space of 6 weeks, connected by a single company JioBlast. You only get 3 tournaments to prove yourself, so dipping form is not an option.
Only ONE team from each region (SA, SEA) qualifies to the challengers which are in Istanbul this year. Keep in mind that SK FUCKING GAMING are in the challengers this year and they are like 8th or 9th in EMEA as far as I remember. EVEN TEAM HERETICS IS IN LCQ FOR GODS SAKE
From the challengers, only ONE team goes to the LCQ which you all know... THEN they have to compete in the LCQ to have a shot at worlds. WHY DID THEY THINK OF THIS. Last year it was bad but not THIS bad for the region. At least you could qualify to LCQ directly...
All this makes me question that EVEN CHINA has a spot at worlds/lcq directly, then why the fuck do you wanna discriminate against the apac/sa/sea regions so bad? The region has so many good players including Sergeant, Response, Jay, Walk, Trashant, Prime... all of them ARE going to challengers but my point is that why do you have to make it this tight?
Its time that BSC pays attention to the region as a whole
edit: china has a spot at LCQs directly not Worlds
I find lola to be a comfort pick on any gem grab map except hard rock mine. I did not know she was this good because the sheer DPS of her with the super makes any squishy brawler unable to come close.
I also learnt today that Lola counters meg and pearl pretty easily, only vulnerable to a late pick thrower. FYI the poco on my team in the game which is at the bottom had no gadget and no star power and I couldn't dodge due to bans so I decided to pick lola, and it turned out to be pretty decent into their comp, to my surprise.
if I am not mistaken, she had a glitch where her ego did like 860 damage per projectile outside of the radius so it was pretty broken on heist but idk if it's fixed or not.
so my question also being is what counters her? i may think of penny or colt but both of those don't get picked much outside of heist (hotzone also, for penny)
carl also gets outranged by lola, she is pretty good into otis, and pretty much great into everyone that gets outranged by her with the sole exception of divers.
TLDR: how is Lola rn in the meta, what counters her, what are good matchups for her
BMs me for some reason, meanwhile Mr smart here takes lou last into kaze, making life hell for all 3 of us. I mean the draft was cooked already because the other Mr smart 2nd picks nori.
what more can I do???
105k trophies player struggling to hit shots
I am pretty sure I got the double kudos from the enemies for playing the best game of my life as I never gave away the ball or fed supers like the emz did.
Yk it's bad when you get a free kenji match as a kenji main and you lose due to your teammate being retarded.
lily supered the leon while having 10 gems when she was at 2k hp in the 1st game
managed to with the second one by carrying
3rs game the lily deleted her frontal lobe and couldn't figure out how to get out of a bolt super
emz last pick on deathcap trap vs a mortis and leon.
how do these guys even reach mythic
This random pam believes that Pam was a good pick (we aren't talking about the stats) on triple dribble. I want to know, whether I am dumb or is pam just not a good pick on this map of brawl ball. Can someone clarify this pam pick for me?
Diamond match btw and this random is a peak mythic2
one carry at the last pick prevented me from losing.
not a skill issue. it's a bad random issue.
95k trophies but still can't tell draft.
i was 2 games away from leg1 but nooo, my randoms had other plans.
before you slime me for the mico i was in a 1v3 situation all rounds, and I managed to pull one off too
I have been noticing that I get noobs quite often on my team rather than good players. This griff was 13k trophies, he did 0 contribution to safe damage and the barley got fucked by the bull and wallbreak
Heist hot potato
BARLEY LAST PICK
look at my teammates and look at my opponents. Is matchmaking rigged?
I really don't know how high I would be ranking 8-bit, surge, and meg.
But I know that they killed rico competitively too, he can now get countered by any assassin very easily, earlier it wasn't so easy due to the 1st bouncy gadget...
also every new buffie that comes effectively seems to kill kenji and kaze in the meta so whats gonna happen to the sushi chef and his wife?
How broken is Nori gonna be? What about wendy?
Is 8-bit worth maxing out now finally?
for me its surge
Guys. I know that you see many posts about ranked but it does not adress one issue. RANDOMS.
Now yall are prolly wondering that if I lost a match to grom like Adrian did, but I am very serious when I say that Mythic + should be locked above 20k trophies + 7 prestiges.
I know this may discourage the newer players from competetive and there is also the problem of pro pass completion, but players who are locked can play in diamond lobbies for XP. that way they can learn how to play better on the ranked maps and what picks are good.
IMPROVE THE MAXED BRAWLERS: supercell we could really do without having someone like spike and bonnie maxed out because these brawlers arent meta and randoms always want to take one of these every game.
and the last thing: please add tutorials to the game about BASIC gamesense. like when not to go aggro into a brawler when you have low HP, how to dodge, maintaining lanes (very imp.)
do not let players progress ahead unless they complete these tutorials which will come after 5k trophies....
If this game wants to be globally popular as an eSport, then it's time that the ranked experience starts getting serious and not for noobs like "I AM RAGE MORTIS GOD" and "best_edgar" with 7.2k trophies in only showdown.
if you liked this, leave an upvote. please get this out there so that some Pros can view this and convey to supercell (I saw u/xSymantecx comment on a post so I know that they view this, also solstice)
