I'm a yoru main, but I also play breach, viper, and cypher a lot. I dunno why people care about the meta, you can make any agent work, just some are harder to make work than others
Qotd:the coolest agent yoru
My favourite off- meta agent has to be Yoru.
My favourite Agnet in off meta is Brimstone.
i have to admit brim can be really op
The vsauce joke was epic!
QoTD: I really like playing Brim because unlike every other smoke in the game, you can lose a lot of time trying to set up your smokes. Brim can just drop three smokes simultaneously. Astra is the only one who can contest with the speed of his smokes but that's only if you're using stars you've already placed.
QoTD: I have been playing a lot of astra and I know she is meta in higher levels of play but no one uses her in bronze so I get all lot of free kills from my whirlpool and no one really knows how to deal with a well placed ult
I've played Viper since the beta and I have always mained her, it was easier before since people didn't know how to counter her, so I rely on various plays to keep it fresh
QOTD: cringe yoru with 300+ hours π
QOTD: Breach. I started off playing him, and I still play him simply because love all the wall colliding abilities.
I like to play omen cause during post plant, I like the availability of more using more angles. And I also love when I get to do some aggressive outplays sometimes.
Brim is actually really good on fracture
Now i am a yoru main
Qotd:yoru,his still pretty good when used right but there are still better agents but I pick yoru dunno his fun to use
Yoru is just like a infinity gauntlet
If right player play him he's unstoppable
Every time I play him I feel like a god
yeah my brim drops 30 assists. every game…
QOTD: I like playing KAY/O because he's op in breeze in my pfp I aced I tried him in other maps he's op too he's ult is just good I tried him in breeze because I want to try other agents and it work
I main Brim, so he's my off-meta pick
QOTD: I play breach. But its so off meta that even my team doesnt know how to play with me. hehehe
This works especially in low elo, as a yoru main opponents have no idea how to deals with agents like yoru cause they don't know the plays
In summary:
Meta characters are good because… well they're meta. They're _good_. But because of the fact they're meta, they become popular picks and people learn effective counters to them.
By choosing non-meta characters which people are not used to playing against, people aren't familiar playing against them. They don't know the strats effective against that character. The only drawback is that they're not meta. They're not currently the _best of the best_.
So most of the time, choosing non-meta characters will be beneficial to you. But if your opponent is familiar and knows the counters to your non-meta character, that's not good. But that's just something to keep in mind.
I don't think unpredictability is the only reason, it could very well be the case that those agents are actually pretty op "theoretically", and no one just explored them enough yet. I remember playing 5 breach vs 5 rayna in replication ( we were rayna) and they won every single round flawless. Literally!!
My off-meta pick is definitely Yoru.
Me and breach have some sort of connection my best games are in breach my best k/d is in breach I feel confident in breach.. I think they underestimate me when I play breach
My fav agent is Yoru. He's definitely a very good agent when mastered. Also, since fewer people use him fewer people know how to counter some of his tactics.
When you answer what is "Meta" in your definition, the word 'is' isn't capitalized after the period.
QoTD: the first off-meta agent i like was suprisingly yoru when i 1v1 a friend i was using yoru to troll but i suprisingly won i saw his outsmarting potential so i mained him so that i can use him is someone instalocks reyna (which happends alot)
0:58 how did he not get flashed?
Qotd: Brimstone, sometimes it feels good not having to think about repositioning yourself or your util on the other controllers. He really can help with focusing on gunplay since you donβt have to worry about that much. Still, he is not bad, other Agents are just better
now everyone will play off-meta lol
When i play games i usually always play the least picked agent so that they wont be noticed much by the devs and would have less chances of being nerfed. Now my favourite and my main agent is brim stone since i like the fact that he has the best mully and the best smokes in the game
Ngl yoru
QoTD: I main yoru cuz he's fun and he's good (tired of people who don't know how to play the agent complain about him being trash). The outplays are just so satisfying and well frankly you can't just outplay anyone with any other agent except yoru.
I main breach and i lowkey play much better with him, breach is not only a top tier initiator, but really good at clearing angles with the c and e
