Meko was never a silence clutch. He did his job and he did it well but he had almost zero clutch factor and when NYXL choked i think he was one of the biggest contributors. Maybe Hotba demands some more resources, but he absolutely does not choke which is what NYXL needs

AND PEOPLE GOT PISSED AT ME WHEN I SAID THEY WOULD BE ADDING MORE KOREANS. NOW YOU GOT MEKO AND RAPEL

Really good pickup, absolutely amazing. Now trade hydration or blasé and get another hitscan dps to backup linkzr just in case and this team looks amazing

disappointed to see Jayne leaving already, i think he had the potential to be a very good coach, but im happy to see him do whatever makes him happy

i could see them being better, worse, or overall the same honestly. it seems as if they might change their style of play if they pick up Whoru who is an insanely aggressive and hard carry type player. itll basically be like having SBB tracer on flex DPS. adding that to HOTBA's flexibility and also being a bit of a carry for both the Fusion and Charge, i could see this team having some major clutch potential from all rolls. JJonak, SBB, Whoru, HOTBA, and Mano are all insane carry players

pog fucking champ

damn this is pretty good, as a massive NYXL fan i think this could be a big change in style considering the leaks of Whoru joining this roaster. I think New York are going to upgrade big time over this off season

cuz western teams dont even have western players but an Asian team has western players

Honestly I’m so confused by the charge. They are a Chinese team that consistently picks up popular and good western players like Nero, Bishu, and now Neptuno. I like the pickup, but does anyone else think this is odd?

feta is a bit weird because you can kinda sub him in for both dding and diem. fleta plays all hitscan (except tracer) and all projectile heroes. i feel like fleta might play over diem and he would be a widow specialist or something but you could dub out dding as well i really dont know. also idk how good diems tracer is, but i cant imagine him being amazing so this might be a hole in their roaster

great for the dragons, but im disappointed that we will never get a profit and fleta DPS duo

i think he means the original starting rosters at the beginning of season 1. Architect came in around the same time as sinatraa, super came in shortly after that, and moth came in at the beginning of stage 2. But Danteh, Nomy, dhak, babybay, Nevix, sleepy, and iddqd are all gone. Boston has also gotten rid of their original roster, now that Kellex is gone, and Diya is the last OG for the Dragons

I agree, I’m worried that he won’t be in top form. But if there is any team the can help him improve, it would be the Gladiators

ohh wow, i really dont know how i feel about this. im like super torn, like birdring performed pretty badly all of last season, but stage 1 and most of 2 in the first season he was honestly amazing and i believe in dpei and the rest of the Gladiators to be able to work with him to turn him into the best version of himself. If there is any team he can improve on, it would be the Gladiators, but CAN he improve and get back to top shape is the real question

Yeah, but everyone on Dallas was playing awful. When the put Trill in, he played just as bad if not worse, and I think if they have Gamsu playing for them back then, I don’t think he would have pulled them out of their losing streak. I think Decay will give them a bit of star power to really push them forward, but I think with this star power OGE would have preformed better than Gamsu will. OGE has stronger ups and downs, and if Dallas is going up, they’d be even higher with OGE

Well some Koreans on Korean teams don't speak english, but Striker and Gamsu speak english. Infact I know Gamsu was the main shot caller on both Boston and Shanghai. So Kellex has very little shot calling experience

first, his remember most his deaths were him being picked off at the beginning of fights then striker would basically clutch the fight back.

Well I wasn't specifically talking about environmental kills, I was actually talking more about offensive boops to knock enemies off of high group, or defensive boops to protect against a reaper in the back line. Lucio is a very good space maker and I feel like he mad almost no space for his team the whole season

I think people over estimate comms, especially on a team like Boston where you have Fusions, it literally doesn’t matter if you talk because this man has already said everything. Including Korean’s he is probably super low compared to very good lucio player, and as a fan of all of these new player signings, I want a super star lucio player

Last year on mercy going into the second half of the session, he died a lot and was almost always the first death in a team first. On lucio, he has never had any note worthy boop. He never knocked people off high group, never really protect his ana/zen very well or anything like that. On Dallas, even closer had a few of these throughout the session and he was not a very good lucio player at all. Kellex just seems to put his aura on speed, and wall ride around. He never has any good peel moments to forced people to into positions based on his boops. That’s what I mean by “his mechanics are not very good”

Who is better, Gamsu or OGE? I thought OGE was better by a lot honestly so this seem Like a little bit of a downgrade but still a good pickup I guess

I’m I bias fanboy too! I just want the best lucio player around to pair with these amazing DPS players, Beast, and Kariv. I want this team to be good and I’m hoping and praying, but mechanically speaking Kellex is bad. Maybe he is a good shot caller or decision making, but his mechanical skill on lucio and mercy and just bad

yeah me too overall, but still. i think this is gonna be their biggest weak point, and unfortunately maybe agilities too. i didnt watch the OWWC Canada matches but apparently he didn't do well at all

ill be honest, ive never really liked Kellex. he is a bad mercy and an ok lucio, ive been liking a lot of the defiant's pickups lately but this one kinda sucks

I looked at the Dallas tweet and it said “the tank duo is back together” and I completely didn’t realize that they now have the 2018 Uprising tank line. Wow I’m kinda stupid

overall I think this is just a new very large update if you dont want PvE. It’s a good, updated game engine with probably massive balance changes. Orisa’s shield seems like has has slightly less health, and roadhouses seems like he does more dmg. These are just some small updates that I’ve seen but I’m sure there is gonna be a lot more. This might be a bit of a soft reset for the whole game

I mean, it looks budge but I wouldn’t say weak. McGravy is a downgrade from space but he is still an amazing off-tank. I think they should have kept FcFiction but Dreamer is a good replacement, Lastro is really good as well as Apply. What is the weak point of this roaster?

FunnyAstro on Philly Fusion, but honesty if they get everyone else that would be amazing

My god, Fusion just got SUPER scary. Update main tank and I think you have a top 3 team, with Sado at main tank they are probably a top 5 team anyway. Alarm, Carpe, and Fury is scary but on top of that funnyastro and eqo on the roaster is ridiculous

i mean, Decay is an amazing player and this is a great pickup, but i think they still need a true flex DPS. Decay plays tracer, genji, doom, a bit of hanzo, mccree and widow. Taimou, akm, and Zachreee all play hanzo, mccree and widow, if tracer or doom are meta then this could be a good pickup, but otherwise i really dont know

I think gods would actually be a very good pickup, but I could see some problems picking up sleepy. At this point, which how much sleepy and rawkus are compared to each other, I can’t imagine they would have a good relationship, so if sleepy is picked up rawkus would have to go. And if they do pick up sleepy then they are in a lose- lose situation, because if it sleepy is a good pick up then they are stupid for not doing it soon, if sleepy doesn’t work out then they are stupid for listening to fans. Crimzo from Team Envy would be a really good pickup

His consistency on widow is not the best, but he basically has a 1 in 5 chance of killing atleast 3 people, which is not something most players can do. Surefour has a higher chance of getting that first pick but a low chance of having follow up. It all depends on the situation, if a first pick is all you need then pine is not the best widow. If you need more clutch/comeback/shut down power, then pine is probably the best you can get

this is kind of an insane signing, this is a massive upgrade and i think it shows that the outlaws are moving in a good direction. I think they need to improve their off-tank, and probably 3 new support player. keep Rawkus, they obviously think he is valuable for some reason but at least give him some competition within the team. if they do that then the Outlaws should be a very scary team next year

This is huge for the outlaws, Harsha is a really good coach. although Harsha is a big advocate for Korean players, so we might see the Outlaws move away from a full western roster

Edit: just wanna clarify, I’m not saying that the Outlaws are gonna go full Korean but they might be a mixed roster or Harsh might heavily advocate for Korean player. It probably won’t happen or it might not happen to an extreme degree

They probably won't. People see sleepy as a better Rawkus (which is probably is) but imagine how bad that looks for them, the whole community is calling Rawkus horrible and that they should pick up sleepy. If it does work then they are stupid for not doing it sooner, and if it doesn't work they are stupid for listening to the community. Also it'll force them to get rid of Rawkus rather than bench him because of the amount of bad blood between them since they have some hateful competition between them

Hydration, Surefour, Void, Meko, Carpe, EQO, and somewhat Note are probably the most surprising free agents. All of these players will be picked up by other team 100%, some of these players had an off season with GOATS but they still had very good performances

This could be both good and bad, Dpei is a very solid coach, not the best but very good. With him gone the coaching position is much more uncertain and they can possible get someone worse. But i think Dpei as the coach for the LAG might have been presenting them from really breaking into greatness

This is a man who was responsible for putting together the 2018 Dragons roaster, this pickup worries me a lot

People seem kinda confused by this, but honestly it makes perfect sense. Yes, maybe the players were not the best on GOATS heroes, but even if they are mechanically not the best GOATS was all about the macro game, which shows that the coaches aren't very good at coaching players to learn parts of the game
