I wanna see a 5 sentinal team comp play a match. I just want to observe.

[@benjaminbrunton4864]

Keeoh did one in his recent deadlock vid :)

[@Bagel2u]

"sentinals aren't used to create space" Chamber mains:

[@justaboredguy8738]

chamber cant create space ;-;

[@skyotomi]

He only good at first contacting bruv

[@distraction2803]

bro wut, the dude has no utility at all if he walks more than 5 steps forward

[@nacun4740]

you do have a pretty good sheriff but as a chamber main i barely use the sheriff @@distraction2803

[@JazzoBeat]

​@@distraction2803hence you know where to place your teleporter and can set angles for you to hold space

[@dogwaterman]

Notes I took from the video! If your lazy here ya go :D Anchors and Lurkers: Anchors are defenders mostly sentinels that are the last to leave the site Lurkers are attackers mostly controllers or sentinels that put pressure on the anchor and try to get picks off of rotating players Always watch out for lurkers as anchor when rotating if they are playing slow enemy team might be looking for a pick with the lurker Default and Variations: Default is the setup in which defending sentinels put their utility on the site. It often helps to try to maximise the number of lanes it covers Lanes are the pathways attackers take to enter a site. Varying setups by changing a few things to moving sites can catch the opponent off guard and grant you more kills and impact. Positional Insurance: Wherever the team is going, positional insurance is making sure defenders can’t flank or will notify the team when they are flanking. Without insurance of where enemies are, the team will spend extra utilities and manpower to clear sneaky angles. Sentinels on attack aren’t for making plays that will win rounds, but instead minimising the number of weak positions. Entry Utilities: Use Utility to clear angles that opponents might be hiding in.

Thanks man

[@dogwaterman]

@@CubeInspector WOW, I did not know that! Props to you, I can now know the difference between your and you're! But seriously bro, if u talk to your friends like that u need to go see a therapist.

[@1middy]

The lack of Chamber in the thumbnail 💀

[@kuzukiro7457]

he is not a real sentinels bro 💀

[@1middy]

​@@kuzukiro7457hell nah chamber done lost his rights 😭

[@spycrabsthesecond137]

​@@1middy My main.... ;-;

[@lCE8]

chamber is a fake duelist he is not a sentinel bro lmao💀

[@Eweghjv]

Cause he’s a duelist 😂

[@Deadfiend99]

Changing kj setups was one the first things I figured out with her it's so fun too when you get that hero turret that helps you get 3 kills

[@Mamadrama13]

Or the hidden grenade kills

[@krrishkumar6962]

as a cypher main, my eyes were blessed by that haven A site gameplay🛐

[@pauloazuela8488]

I flank an lurk as a sentinel and good at knowing where the footsteps are. The problem , reaction time and aiming. So ended up dying anyway 😂

[@BOREDOM6969]

I think the most defining feature of a Sentinel is holding down the space the Initiator + Duelist + Controller has occupied. An attribute that Sentinels like Sage ane Chamber fall short, and hence often used as pseudo-duelists. You see, traditional Sentinels like Killjoy, Cypher, and, now, Deadlock, have at least 3 utilities you can use to monitor/hold down sites. Sage only has one wall that can easily be broken and 2 slow orbs that slows for 4 seconds max each. Chamber only has his trap for anti-flank/monitoring utility and the rest are frag-centered utilities. I guess the logical rebutal here is that, Sage can heal allies and thus gives the team more HP (overall) to continue to hold down site and Chamber is an incredibly offensive/hit-and-run Sentinel, but as you can see, they almost don't have a reliable lockdown/monitoring utilities which is common to Sentinels. I read a thread once about how to buff Sage without making her a sub-duelist/mid-controller and more of a standard Sentinel and it has nothing to do with her innate ability (heal) nor her ultimate (resurrection) and that is buffing her Slow Orbs and even having an interactive function with her Barrier Orb (which I absolutely agree of) which is, "The wall durability should be reinforced/re-fortified/replenished whenever it interacts with a Slow Field". Honestly, that is a good idea. Back then, Sage's Slow Field lasts for 8 seconds but everyone agrees that was too much, especially in Split, so they (Riot) brought down to 4 but I think 6 is most definitely fine and her Wall should have a faster re-inforcement. As to Chamber, his very design is so flawed. Though a Sentinel, he is severely leaning on to the Duelist side. Not even a Pseudo- but a straight up Duelist. He only has one Sentinel-ish utility and it is very easy to counter.

[@abdallahhkhan]

THE WAY CHAMBER ISN'T ON THE THUMBNAIL 😭

[@spycrabsthesecond137]

My main.... ;-;

[@lucas_glp6084]

8:52 is this a far cry 3 reference 😂

[@PitFrag9803]

All of this is very informational, but it's invalid. Nats is on team liquid not sentinals

[@praevidens]

i main controller but as time goes by it becomes tedious, so now I'm looking into initiators and sentinels (specially trying to see if I can main deadlock, regardless if shes good or bad)

[@euphoricleo]

Is there video on where sentinels should anchor on each map?

[@jinxapologist]

I wish these kind of calculated anchor/lurker plays were possible in low elo x'D

[@edwardphantom885]

As a sentinel main, I am disappointed in the lack of Chamber in the thumbnail.

[@ImYoruumi]

Deadlock's Q (basically her tripwire) when you said any controler can clear likethat

[@ChAnTAxR]

The caption keep calling Nats a Nazi💀

[@Txhjid]

i hate this when this happens kj : covering the whole a enemies : in b kj : :/

[@ihatestupidanddumbppl]

if your team can't defend with 4 ppl on site then they don't deserve to play the game

[@paltson]

Just stay as an anchor when that happens, your team has it easy with a 4 stack

[@KianoushAlavi]

Your job is to anchor A until they plant on B

[@Kuzamori]

This so relatable, like jm excited to catch the attackers with my set up but no one comes.

[@chantararix]

worse if the enemy team has an omen. I ain't moving my ass until that spike is planted. I dont care.

[@garyeggins9878]

how come some of the videos on skill capped have disappeared?

[@TactiBEAR]

they r prob outdated

[@RnAr-hs4bp]

can someone explain to me what is the job of the lurker?

[@lCE8]

tbh I am not sure , but I think the lurker has to either flank the defenders or catch the rotations. For free kills and pressure

[@sanjaikp24]

Play seperate from ur team on attack if your team go A lurk should go B most likely Sentinel or 2dry Duelist . To kill the Person rotate

[@十秒]

get map control and vision, confuse the defenders, get easy picks etc

[@Leo-ox1rd]

lurker are the one who play separate from the team to infiltrate the map. so basically with a lurker you get 1. map and area control, as you can lock certain areas free of enemies 2. enemy info, as you know they are not there its easier to guess where they are 3. easy frags, as sometimes you catch one rotating without his gun or sometimes you flank and pick them from behind

[@imrejansson2531]

"yEa i COUld TaKE Him oN in A 1v1"

[@arkyudetoo9555]

is this guide applicable to iron-gold elo? I play almost exclusively KJ, if not, it's either sage or chamber.

[@lCE8]

Does this also apply on sage? in my opinion she isnt a great lurker.

[@BOREDOM6969]

Sage is a team-player agent. Very rare you want her as a lurker cus most of the time your teammates are going to cry about heals and resurrect and it's hard when you're on the other side of the map.

[@chantararix]

and yet I see a lot of sage lurkers lol

[@anupamasharma4769]

make a video like this for initiators too plss

[@enair2k]

Very good video bro

[@terrickhuang7626]

thats typical my type! flank, control

[@philipokke]

very good video!

[@AEPinging]

Damn really dissing chamber in that thumbnail

[@PKed07]

Sentinels tutorial: ❌ killjoy tutorial: ✅

[@lepetitpandaroux]

Well she (with cypher) is the strongest sentinel, and the most used in pro games so yeah After diamond everyone is basically using kj or cypher ; sage, chamber and especially deadlock are more occasional I agree that it could have been nice to see some deadlock or sage plays but hey

[@bogdantoma3916]

Deadlock aint retrieving her kit after putting it down😢

[@Stranger-lh6ho]

0:03 Tbh, Alfajer is better.

[@Leo-ox1rd]

today, the best sentinel is between alfajer and less, but nats was legendary a while ago

[@baderalbahrani6903]

initiator next pls

[@Pylon300]

So do I lurk as a controller or do I anchor

[@americakrisi]

sry but aim is necessary.... Everyone who says you dont need aim is lying (a lot of people i know say that and some videos too) i know a lot of set ups and videos how to play kj dont help, when my aim is trash and im struggeling with being scared

[@Yasha-IL]

I think what they mean is, it's not a priority. You can have the best aim in the world but as a kj your value doesn't come from that. As a kj you're scary. You can literally have an entire site locked down enough to where no one will want to push it to avoid compromise. Aim IS important but not a priority.

[@americakrisi]

@@Yasha-IL thx for the answer xd i already gave up on kj, having more fun with my Omen and Harbor rn

[@Radia2104]

So basically, Sentinels are cheeky bastards.

[@LouisBerandoria]

Chamber: 😭?

[@urmid924]

imagine putting mid ass Deadlock in thumbnail and not Chamber

[@aadityavishwam6062]

bruh make something about low elos these all only aplly to high elo

[@himankgaming7555]

Chamber is good in low elo

[@banorant833]

Nats would be a good igl
