[@------.-.]

Thanks

[@Gb484]

Yeah I think that's the point of the video

[@Phrogk]

As a one trick harbour main i conpletely agree

[@some1upyon]

bigger thing with harbor is that the most consistent round-to-round value he puts out is smokes and a bullet shield so he ends up with a very teamwork-based kit granted his smokes are probably one of the most flexible since you have 3 walls and one orb, one of which could probably do 3/4ths the smoking on split b and walls are an advantage on breeze and icebox but it's the fact that outside of smokes and the occasional site stun he doesn't do that much outside of that which doesn't help in ranked brim: highest damage molly, stim, high damage targeted ult omen: tp, flashes viper: molly that applies vulnerable, decay astra: global reach, access to both stun and vulnerable clove: decay, self-heal, self-revive other controllers have tools that let people make plays by themselves whether it's by copious utility or by being semi-duelist but harbor just lacks that since all he does is smoke and slow with those smokes

[@clecYT]

Couldn't agree more with what you said! Like I said in another comment, maybe if they buff his ult so that it slows as well or make it slightly more punishing to push his walls, MAYBE he can be just a BIT more viable to play over other Controllers…

[@XenithAxe]

@@clecYT Or u can be selfish and use ur cove like a jett smoke and put it down when u get a kill to prevent getting traded. But the cascade works just as well cuz vision blocking

[@willyboi1105]

His smokes are really comfy though. On other controllers, there will always be downtime where your smokes are down or you can only smoke one spot for the rest of the match. Not Harbour. My man can smoke, smoke, smoke and then smoke again nonstop. If someone helps hold his smoke (since it slows), he can hold down Icebox A site forever. I only had one match with him but damn it felt like his smokes never disappear.

[@gabrielarieldola2734]

Bro just imagine if his smokes can speed up the team a little bit instead of slowing them down

[@XenithAxe]

@@gabrielarieldola2734 At least an A tier if he does that. what if all his abilities can block bullets like the wall in his reveal trailer, but his walls didnt go down after the bullet proof factor has been gone or make it bulletproof entirely.

As someone who uses harbour on some maps, I totally understand why people hesitate to pick him. Harbour walls just block vision. They don't punish people who pushes through the wall. Also the wall slows teammates too. Viper is just a better option. And harbour's ability is a wall, another wall, a shield that breaks down too quickly and a quiet mid ult unless you combine it with something else. Harbour's abilities makes me feel like I'm playing Cypher with the lack of utility to take a fight. All that said, I don't know how to play viper. Harbour just feels easier to me

[@clecYT]

Yup, and another reason that Viper feels more oppressive is the fact she can control when her wall/smoke goes up allowing her to make just as more plays with other agents then Harbor…

[@ralliedcookies4403]

They should make the slow only for opponents, they need to buff harbor maybe even revamp him completely

[@sizzlingsquid7451]

unlike other controllers, all his util originate from his own location, so they have the unfortunate liability of giving the enemy information on where he is.

[@plugshirt1762]

As an omen main harbor’s ultimate makes me so mad because it destroys my ability to sneak up on everyone lol

[@clecYT]

Sorry guys, I got hit by copyright because of the montage music and sadly I have to mute it :( it sucks but if you were wondering why the audio seems fucked its because of that!

[@Reaper0903]

What’s the name of the music at 4:00?

[@bababoye1382]

it kinda sounds like youre underwater and it seems like youre being drown by the overwhelimg presence of harbor xd

[@NytPhytr]

Love playing harbor! - his ultimate gives you a cue (if you hear a gong noise that means someone is in your circle if you dont hear a gong noise means its clear/no one in circle) You also get the horizontal and vertical indicators of their locations. Moving forward makes it move faster and moving backward slows it down on placement. - Cove has always been great for me not just as a shield but a way to trick ppl to think they know where I am at etc. but I don't play ranked soooo xD probably wouldnt work there. - The cascade walls would be cool if they had a pushing ability since it can go thru walls I could position myself behind enemy locations and push them "out of hiding" which i think would be a nice upgrade to his cascade. But other than that as long as you let it go its full distance you get a good use out of it already as like a weaker iso wall (without the bullet proof part) - High Tide is my favorite cause you can really trap people or cut them off. Also you can shorten the wall if you right click early so you dont have to wait forever for the wall to raise up once done placing it. Also you can make circles and thats just fun in general :D Anyways love Harbor play him on every map but too scared to go rank cause im not the best at hitting my targets XD and my duo is normally a reyna or phoenix and Idc if im with another controller or solo :)

[@terussu2611]

was expecting someone bigger with the editing and commentary, you're criminally underrated dude

[@pluton593]

Me too 😅

[@Ruuinx]

Also another tip that wasn’t mentioned, when using his wall, the higher up you aim, the slower it will travel, making it easier to turn and direct. If you ever watch pros, they will move up and down according to if they want it to move faster or slower when casting

[@Ruuinx]

An example is outside garage on Haven, many teams will use the wall to smoke both the window in garage and also have it cut off CT on c site

[@clecYT]

Ohhh that explains alot on why I found it so weird to control, I even made it sort of a bad habit of just flicking my screen up and down while throwing my wall up 😅

[@DeltaF396]

I wanna see if anyone agrees with me here on these proposed harbor changes: His walls do not punish enemies enough for pushing through them, unlike most walls. (Eg. Viper applying vulnerable, Phoenix dealing damage). Perhaps his slow needs to be increased drastically so enemies are essentially trapped with an incredibly slow movement speed for a few moments as they push through. As well as this, his shield bubble either needs way more durability, or it needs to straight up be unbeatable while it’s up. It’s not like the bubble blocks movement so I don’t see much of an issue with it being unbreakable. I think his ultimate is fine as it is. Sure it’s not the most devastating ult but it means enemies have to move around to avoid being stunned and it reveals their locations. I find it great for pushing onto a defended site. I love harbor personally, but I really only ever play him on Icebox and Breeze, and even then that’s very rare. I wonder if harbor will be more useful now that viper has been so heavily nerfed.

As a fiend for water-centered characters, i found myself 1-tricking Harbor when i played. Sad to hear he's so weak and unpopular but i just can't stop enjoying him. Nice to see new Harbor video that's not a guide for once❤

[@gooifgeffpawkek]

This video was really really well executed! Solid script, excellent editing, awesome pacing. Keep up the good work man, you've got a real knack for making videos!

[@NovaaTheGreat]

Harbor was always an interesting agent to me but i never bothered learning him for fun. Ill definitely try learning him now. Thanks for making such an entertaining and informative video.

[@kailasten7183]

As someone who mained harbor, and sage before clove came out, I loved Harbor. He was so fun to play. I might go back to him every once and a while.

[@silo9596]

pls do more videos like this cus this was awesome. as well as the part where you explained how the agents r played n positioning, that was useful as ironic as it was.

[@LeviKanal]

Its been a while since I played the game, but I remember finding Harbor much easier to play than Viper. With Viper you need Lineups for your Mollies, and constantly watch your poison levels and once you used your wall you cant place another one.... The biggest weakness of harbor is that his kit is essenstially all just smokes so he has to rely on other agents opressive abilities, which makes him like you said, very team reliant.

[@wp_gabe]

[@malik.the.elite562]

you’ve got good potential keep it up brudda

[@thehotd0g8]

Harbor is by no means a bad agent, unlike deadlock he has potential, its just some of his kit is outright useless and often is unfun to use or isnt good enough to replace for someone like viper. His wall is incredibly powerful, it can cover so much space in so many various ways, unlike viper he can creates walls on the fly for whatever the situation needs, cascade is also pretty good at stalling but it's weak compared to other smokes, and cove is mostly worthless with it providing limited value in most situations. His ult is okay but is one of the worst space clearing ults and you can like just dodge the concusses lol

[@clecYT]

Yeah I feel like his ult is a bit underwhelming and doesn't really feel too threatening like a Killjoy ult. Maybe they should buff it so it slows the ground so the concuss feels more viable…

[@thehotd0g8]

That would be cool, I also think it should perhaps have an additional Stun because it also feels incredibly short

[@neophyte_tpk]

Deadlock has potential tho..

i love harbor. I'm so sad people dont play him because hes also just a fun character to interact with and see so I started forcing myself to main him. (I used to be a yoru/skye/neon/and deadlock player) so far so good, and hes genuinely more fun to play and the game has gotten more fun and enjoyable for me

[@joelester460]

How does your channel and this video have such less recognition? Your videos are so high-quality man keep it up. Consistency is key

[@lucidM_]

tried harbor a month or 2 ago and it has become my new best agent and main. harbor is a more teammate oriented agent, which is why I think I do well with it. Agents who require too much util is just too much for me to handle sometimes and im not much of a solo player. With harbor, I can just focus on my fundamentals like as aim, spacing, trading, off angles, etc. the cascade is also really good at taking space and honestly wins me a lot of rounds

[@ARClegend]

Harbor is especially reliant on his team. Teammates who know how to play around your smokes will be vital assets. Harbor themself also needs to be confident in their gunplay, because that's just about all he's got...

[@Repl1cantsM1nd]

I personally love harbor on ice box, breeze and pearl especially with a good kayo (so sentinels cant slow you down). If done right you can get site executes where you get a plant down within 20 seconds of a round and site control. In most of my harbor games I have like 10 plants or so 😂. Also good vid 👍

[@oppressionsimulatorgotyedi9009]

Thank you for this video. Please keep making more

[@Fang]

Extremely good watch dude! Nice work 👏

[@dnvrhlr]

One thing I learned about Harbor as one of the free agents I picked starting Valorant there are a couple of pointers to remember. 1. His smokes aren't sufficient for Controller role. This is because of his smokes have a very short duration vs other controllers. 2. You need to coordinate with your team and communicate how you will provide them smokes ans cover. 3. Don't be afraid to cove aggressively. You can use the orb as a cheeky one way or reposition for an aggressive position. 4. You're a secondary controller. If you can run double controller comps, your job is to replenish the smokes that your main controller provides. 5. It's an OP ult with an aggressive team, but communicate with them how to understand the ult better and avoid getting concussed.

Nice video, good luck on your journey :D

[@DrawAndErase]

I love playing harbor, I played him a lot when he first came out probably and I have 84 hours with him 144 matches. I only play him on sunset now because he's really good at sunset, he's an aggressive agent that can use smokes to block of mid and threaten tiles, market and top mid without using his main wall smoke. He's good for misdirection and repositioning using his smokes and aggressively taking space, plus he lurks pretty well too as his smokes block a lot of areas. Definitely not the strongest agent and outside of sunset I wouldn't use him as the primary controller with the current map pool, but he's fun and creative. I think if they made the slow through his smokes a bit stronger and a small tilt to cascade and slightly longer range on wall he would be in a fine position, also his lineups work the same as viper orb so you have a bit more flexibility to smoke further with cove as it works fine to smoke as people usually don't want to spam it down because of info.

[@maxishonestlymad961]

BBC actually kinda real for Harbor… he’s REALLLYYY good at taking pieces of the map and less traditional smokes so without an coordinated team he can feel lackluster

[@blimminali9469]

8:24 Bravo lol, you understood how to play ANY conroller

[@peksacola]

Harbor is so good for solo queuing, I can cut up the map efficiently and not have to rely on ransoms that don’t communicate, if nobody wants bomb I can give myself a safer plant, and best goatee for site retakes especially if ults up

harbor is amazing to pair with flash peeking. the smoke is flat so enemies can't camp out the flash like dome smokes do (especially clouded dome smokes). arguably pheonix can do it on his own

[@sizzlingsquid7451]

I think he's also great to pair with Cypher's trips. they don't have the visibility to destroy the trips, and once they punch out of the wall theyll run into the trip.

[@bakaza_fr]

underrated fr. Bro Ill help you in your journey

[@executiveninja5433]

as someone who has played more than 800 games with harbor, i would say that the reason he is not picked much is because he has a high skill ceiling which means its gonna be hard to control his high tide without practice, people are unaware of many tricks with harbor and just try to play him like your conventional controller, his cove might seem useless but it has saved me countless times in planting or diffusing the spike, pair it up with gekko wingman and its almost a guaranteed plant, the only buff i would like to see on him is that when enemies push his smokes, their vision will get tunelled( like omen paranoia) for some time in order to add more value to his smoke also it would be really good if we can see the location of his ult on the minimap

[@fijisubzero]

why editing so good

[@FilipeeX]

such a good vid, altough i'd consider changing the music style and/or volume of it

[@ahtalk9847]

he needs a buff tbh, i think the bullet shield should resist more damage and his walls shouldnt slow teammates. Also his Ult isnt the best its so easy to avoid so either make it an ult point less or it needs more area covered

[@fenfire3824]

I think he is great, but I guess other smokes feel more flexible because they have also other util in addition, like flashes or mollys. Harbor is really good, if you have a strong team. But I also think, that in a good team mix you should at least have two molly chars to have options against pushing teams and better chances winning ecos. I think harbor is a good retaker. Also the big Wall is great because you can split the bombspots in half or create tunnels for your team. So lets say the defenders are defending a spot with 2 people you can take out one of them right at the beginning, so your rush is always 5 vs 1. And the last one can then easilly taken out once you get the bombspot control. This alone is a huge benefit. And unlike Viper, you can create walls she cannot.

[@karlenandan]

[@claviachu]

you got super good after ten hours !!

[@tomk5238]

You should watch a harbor main tbh. Theres a whole lot more he can do. The walls dont have to be conventionally shaped. You can make weird things that let you sneak behind enemies right in front of them. You can cheeky hide in places they cant find because of his wall. Then you can cove in that wall to kill mutiple ppl without them even knowing where you are. Simply using the wall to just block sightlines is not even exploring its use.

[@aassassin]

Harbor was pretty much only used on Pearl in Ranked, because of the "Swamp Comp" popularized by Tier 1 VCT Teams. And with that map out of rotation, no one really uses him anymore. And although LOUD used the Swamp Comp on Icebox against FNC during the VCT Lock In, the normal playerbase didn't catch on. Viper and other controllers (even Clove) are more popular and viable than Harbor in the current map pool.

[@clecYT]

facts, i also think that Harbor just cant compete with Omen as a secondary/main controller, Omen is just to flexible of an agent pick where as u have to play the right comp to get the most out of Harbor's kit!

[@Dylanrsa16]
