The BIGGEST Patch EVER! - Plat Chat VALORANT Ep. 49

[@lilums3179]

the wyatt drip is simply immense.

This reminds me of a comment of a previous episode that went something like " I want wyatt to hit me with his chain and degrade me"

You guys briefly touched on running KAY/O plus Phoenix and I can confirm from the influencer event that we tried out the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers strat once where we popped Yoru ult, Phoenix ult and KAY/O ult at the same time and ran into the site and it was unstoppable. 😂😂

[@C1_YT]

You it's ascended. Love your video man

[@DrSharknome]

I love the length of Platchat, it feels like you guys never rush through a topic and properly flesh it out, but you also don’t beat a dead horse. Loved it as usual :)

[@BoukenJima]

I am actually in fucking tears from Sideshow going through all the "t" sounds and then knocking his water over.

[@steve-g-]

I’d consider becoming a member if there was a weekly “members q&a” section of the show. Feel like that could be fun :)

[@dragonmaster9577]

I think the members q&a would get repetitive after a while, I wouldn't want that. Episodes are already long as it is and I wouldn't want them to sacrifice discussion over answering Bronze questions

[@Mugahh]

The thing about kay/o is that is doesn´t create a situation where gunplay matters because your team is still using utility to execute sites only difference is the enemies can´t do shit about it

[@justdave1842]

Balla, how you gonna dunk on Zellsis like that? He's not even here to defend himself lmao

[@Ballatw]

unlucky i guess :D

[@Brokenfar]

I think the change to the knife should just be that it says something like "1 agent suppressed" like killjoys ultimate, instead of the specific agent that is hit

[@qzyxwvut]

If it looks to be too strong it’ll probably go in that direction - like with Jett and Viper, Riot knows they need to make new mechanic agents extra strong so people are forced to incorporate them into how they think about the game. Once people really understand the strengths of the new mechanics, they’ll nerf into balance

[@skimmy93]

That shit doesn’t need to give you info

[@Brokenfar]

I disagree soooo heavily with the points sideshow and balla were making about needing third party international tournaments. There are 4 international VCT events already including champions, meaning that there is an international tournament every 2-3 months. If you have these tournaments more often then all the hype for most of the regions will disappear. With 2-3 months before masters 3, the brazil, korea, turkey, SEA, etc... storylines can regenerate, you can see changes in the regional metas, and the hype can start to grow again. If international tournaments happen more often there will be no time for those storylines and the hype to come back which will not be healthy for the scene at all. The rarity of big international competitions is why tournaments like the olympics or world cup, or even champions league to a certain extent makes the tournaments more important and more exciting. If the world cup took place every year, it would become less important and exciting, not more, even thiugh im sure right at the start people would be excited for the change, in the long term it would become just another tournament.

[@CEO.Charley]

Exactly , look at csgo… idek how many tournaments a week they do anymore … waay too much to keep up with lmao

[@Sodohodos]

Audio attenuation is actually the reduction of a sound as the distance from the listener is increased. It being reduced means you need to be closer to hear it at all. Falloff or dropoff

Atleast you owned up to it

[@zhandavidz]

What if the knife only showed which agents it got if the agents were in LOS, but the suppress still goes through walls (so like if they are not in LOS they show up as a ?)

[@bluetoothjjt23]

Nice idea. It's very broken that knife goes through walls and tells you which agents are suppressed.

[@Virsu]

Might be confusing tho

[@basedstvr3132]

Sheeeeeesh Wyatt drip go crazy

[@GoodFareWell]

I feel like sideshow's comments on the economy changes are spot on - instead of lowering ability usage, teams are primarily just simply throwing away eco rounds more since it feels bad to use utility when you don't have full buys to support it, and it's harder to come back in general.

[@Mugahh]

Then isn´t loosing riffles vs eco rounds more rewarding for the team doing the eco round? since it affect the economy of the other team more

[@DELTAREDGHOST]

avast “use a dragon” ahahhahahah same here brother

[@joshputland9387]

Hot take I'm happy with viper, maybe I just don't see really oppressive vipers very often but I'm happy with how she is. She was shat on for so long by the whole community and then she gets a massive buff that makes her good for 5 seconds and everyone freaks out. I just don't want to see her get mega nerfed and never played. (I'm not a viper main btw)

[@jonc3519]

They buffed the breech stun in a good way. If it's not enough they can do more along those lines

[@ehzoue]

all i gotta say with one game of experience with kay/o is that i hate the recon of the knife, take that away and i wonder if everything will be fine.

Audio Attenuation is the reduction in audio as it travels through walls.

[@TriplePalindromous]

I've never payed for anything in valorant. It's not fast to get an agent, but it is not slow either. You can definitely get 2-3 per act playing casually

[@donkeybkong6491]

for me, it’s around 1 agent/week with weeklys when I only play around 5 hrs a day

[@ryanmaaw]

Strongly disagree with Balla imo, the economy changes make the games so boring because after losing like 3 rounds in a row you already know the game or at least the half is over because their economy is booming and yours is broken beyond belief, you’re in a constant state of rifle->save->rifle in a game thats so much shorter than CS

[@GoodFareWell]

Agree with you 100%

[@funkyfresh2259]

It really isn’t that long. As long as you have the weekly challenges up, it levels up quick.

Victor signed up as food for VCT? Interesting. Maybe just his account name for that website or smthn

[@tim0735]

I kid you not, breach is the best initiator in the game. He is so easy and smooth to play now. His stun is so fat and fast it's insane. Imo better than Kay/o

[@vaIe_]

I find his ult opressive in postplant, no one can use util in retakes for 16 seconds its just gg

[@josbird]

like how one of the tags got fucked up bc of kay/o's random slash in his name

[@vaughnblakely7595]

The 6 Map system is honestly worst than random TBH. The amount of gamesmanship that will go into those ratings if teams are smart will all but ruin the system. For example if a team permabans bind it is in their best interest to put that higher on their list to ensure maps that actually may be map 5 and 6 are greater effected. For example if team A is going to permaban bind, first pick haven every time unless haven is banned, and wants to play split as the decider they are going to rank split number 1. They are then gonna rank bind and haven 2 and 3 so their other choices have more negative power and then rank ice box, ascent, and breeze to make sure they aren't number one on the list. Then if split is number one of the list they have basically gotten a free pick unless banned. And if a map that may be heavily permabanned, such as breeze since it is new, gets voted highly by a lot of teams for this reason this may cause it near the top of the list causing the gamesmanship of some teams to effect the pick bans of all teams. This system is truly terrible and would be better off just random picking the third map rather than giving certain teams an arbitrary advantage the whole tournament because of a list they made at the beginning.

[@yvesmija]

i feel like somehow in the future we are going to get annoyed by the balance team. just like in league, they dont actually fix the problems they just tweak the damage numbers which is not even the actual problem

[@Gam3freak1199]

The judge will still be used Mark my words. I Guarantee that they will have to nerf it again.

[@MetroidX88]

Why does Riot hate Sage? Just repeatedly getting buried. Leave my girl alone!

[@musculusiv4172]

Wait there's people who actually PAY for the new agent when you can just unlock him for free?! LMAO

[@u1trav10let2]

KayO is not oppressive as soon as you realize that abilities are not how you win the game and you can just pop head still when he hits you with shit

[@kemicalyemster]

agreed

[@tbirge10]

"abilities are not how you win the game" heh? tell that to V1 and their lineups and see how they react. Actually, tell that to every pro team and see how they react.

[@booyawooya]

Being unable to throw down smokes, clear angles with mollies, or flash/counter-flash during an execute is incredibly oppressive. Sure, you might just click heads, but is dry peeking every angle as you enter site good design?

[@booyawooya]

Good utility usage has defined what makes a team great at the pro scene, especially in the post-plant meta.

Big agree with Sideshow on KJ. Old KJ was fun as hell and new KJ i don't ever play anymore because she's boring. Also I really dislike the account leveling. all it is going to do is lead to people being like "oh you're level x and you're still gold? fuck you" just like we have in Overwatch. Dumb addition literally adds zero value nobody gives a shit about the crappy "goodies"
