How a Breakdancing Boomer Became Valorant's Most Infuriating One Trick

[@The1UnderTheSun]

It's players like Perry that I think truly show how brilliant val is as a comp game. He's an example of how you can trully be a top tier player without the gifted mechanical skills, but instead by studying and being well prepared. Thinking, is a big part, and I love it.

[@isaaclee3271]

As the saying goes: "if you can't beat them with strength, find another way"

[@mark030531]

I think there should be a limit to how much you can do without the basic mechanics like aiming, though. The fact that the game basically turns into hide-and-seek once the spike is planted and there's a dumb lineup/ultimate ready from across the map with little to no counterplay isn't exactly good game design.

[@10yearslater_]

[@trippin5619]

Im so happy the score didnt just portray perry as a lineup larry but also included his shotgun play. Its a big part of the ratty brim picture. Perry and Smacksmackk pulled me out of my 1 trick viper and got me into brim

[@colebtv6086]

I play a lot like this with Viper and always have, but Brim has one thing that Viper doesn’t: Viper’s mollies do damage, but in order to get kills with them, you have to throw her orb onto the spike and activate it along with the mollies. In most cases, this means she has to enter site. Brim, on the other hand, can win a round without ever even being on site. It’s insane and one of the reasons I love playing him and was so glad to find Perry.

[@thxforcarry]

[@pennywise69]

[@callmer0naef330]

[@cabooey2905]

imagine getting mad that someone who knows theyre not good enough to aim, are good enough to beat you by being smarter, just shows how shit people are in valorant for getting mad at lineups

[@Earlie_]

Perry2N just puts into view that aim is really not needed if youre dedicated enough

[@TheRatedOniChannel]

Oh, Perry has aim, that AWP is lethal on him, but what they hate the most is that, a playstyle that is not trying to 1v5 for highlights can beat them and not only that, make them feel humiliated.

[@badreddinekasmi8919]

Aim is still kinda needed you just don't need to be the one with the fastest reaction time and craziest flicks. I feel like valorant really nails the balance between CS go and Overwatch. It's not as bullshit and ability/agent reliant as overwatch nor as heavily technical as CS. While overwatch has a skill floor that's below hell since the game is honestly just not balanced and you can wreck people with minimal skill and brain on an OP character. CS on the other hand feels like you need to spend at least 1 years of intensive training to even be able to survie a millisecond without getting wrecked. Valorant takes a few months to really click if it's your first competitive fps but meanwhile you're put with people of your skill without feeling like the game punishes you for not spending your whole life on it.

[@squog8009]

@@badreddinekasmi8919 What the ow skill ceiling lacks in mechanical skill it more than makes up for in the need for insane team cohesion.

[@badreddinekasmi8919]

@@squog8009 Very true indeed. However I really dislike the heavy emphasis on team cohesion. Especially when (my experience with ow2) the game's voice chat mechanic is really bad and nobody uses it. I'm new to the game so I might just not have discovered how to do this. But the game seems to force you to either be in team chay or part chat. Unlike valorant where you can communicate with both your team and crew with the press of a bouton. Additionally I have yet to hear anyone aside of my part mates in voice chat on quick play. And it doesn't help that the text chat gets clogged by a shit ton of useless in-game info. It reallt makes thr game feel like you need to be a 5 person squad to ever really play well.

Fr people mad because other people are having fun

[@Shrew-22O1]

As much as I hate being on the receiving end of lineups no matter which agent it’s also respectable to a point because u need to put a lot of hrs to learn them especially if you want multiple options for the same spot etc.. 😅

[@joewhosjoe2233]

As a student of the art of lineups, it's much more than just "getting into the spot" especially with the more common spots that more experienced players counter or flank these spots, it's learning when to actually opt to lineup in valuable aspects. Not just leaving essentially baiting out your team just to do lineups with enough spare time to push and kill you. I know this aint the point of the comment, just wanted to share my POV

[@Falllll]

@@joewhosjoe2233 Yeah that's one thing that's rubbed me the wrong way about a bunch of the clips you end up seeing. Someone leaves what would be a nearly unlosable post plant to play lineups and the round ends with only them alive rather than them and their teammates alive.

[@TheRatedOniChannel]

What Perry does shows how interesting Valorant can be, how many different ways to play the game can exist at the same time, and that is only for the better for the game itself; every time someone says 'you can't play like that', well, why not? Is in the kit, is in the game already, is not breaking or glitching or hacking, it is literally an option in the game. For those that think that there is only 1 way to really play a tactical shooter, well, Perry is ready to burn them into ashes.

[@user-c3jdf9lylzse]

there needs to be a way to counter lineups i hope the new agent can do so

[@Taesk0]

there are multiple ways to “counter lineups”

[@shreyb4824]

Although i also do get frustrated from these lineups too, but then at the end of the day, i think man i cannot put myself to work learning these lineups so come on call whatever you want to call them. They are just putting in the work that you are not willing it too. If working hard is cringe so why not be cringe.

[@TheRatedOniChannel]

The old 'if you don't play like me or think like me, you are cringe', but like Íñigo Montoya once said, that word they keep using, I don't think it means what they think it means.

don't be fooled by how easy perry makes it look it's not just learning lineups and using it right away....lineups you can learn in 5 mins but knowing when to use the lineups is the hardest like if you just plant and go for the lienups youre basically baiting your whole team when fighting with them could've been better

[@kalibets]

I’ve been watching Perry since his second vid. He’s a big inspiration

[@narulizard]

i mean there is a way to kill lineup larrys. 1. Have a lurker or pair of lurkers wrap the attackers and deny the safe areas that lineups are usually. 2. hard push out with util 3. use info util (fade haunt, sova dart, dogs cats and drones) to scout out the usual line up areas.

What Perry2n doing is perfectly fair. He put in the work. Teams need to change their strategies to account for utility players like him. But if Riot does choose to make nerfs the worst they should do is marginally decrease the molly's duration.

If you want it gone do something then just complain to your screen and your fans” “This is Valorant…. Anything can happen bro, especially this Brimstone tactic bro” “He is more intelligent than you think in your whole life pal” “Guns, abilities, and the map itself made this happen, he was the first to discover it, and now he will become a legend over it” And to the haters and fans to Perry here I gotta say for myself to his Brimstone gameplay: i agree, he may be a lot of things, but he is something you are not…… a legendary Brimstone in fucking Radiant….. so you better do something or you are ALL going in his videos and his montages, regular/non popular users, content creators, fucking pros, he will make content of ALL your reactions so yea, change your life choices you hating boomers.

Valorant was my first fps, rn I have 2000h and peaked in immortal and I also have quite a unique playstyle, I've been a cypher main ever since beta and recently picked up yoru, basically I excel on off meta agents, people just never see or expect the cypher one ways, cameras in the weirdest places, the amount of times I clutched a 1v1 post plant just by placing a camera in the line of sight of the spike is truly laughable mind you it's against immortals, both these agents excel at lurking and believe or not when it comes to yoru, but info gathering too, his ult is the obvious one but a clone is also a great tool, just like the brimstone molly cyphers camera is overpowered, ofc for the obvious effing camera in an fps but also if u master cypher u can use the cam as sort of a flash if u know that enemies are there, u pop it close to the corner and swing instantly, people instinctively flick to the cam and assume you're gonna play passive at the moment and use it for info when in fact u're using it to offset their crosshair and surprise them, it's also great to get oppers out of agressive angles, either they shoot the cam and are vulnerable for a short period or they ignore it, get tagged and get sprayed through a wall
