Bye jett
They arent changing the meta at all, they are artificially changing the meta by basically making new weapons, his abilities arent that good on their own considering his revolver is literally one mag for 800, while a gurardian has multiple mags, refils over rounds, and a better scope than the chamber pistol.
His other two non-weapon abilities arent strong at all, his tp is lound, predictable, and easy to destroy, and his bot is visible at all ranges, only affects non movement related agents and cant be used in an offensive manner.
His operator is the only objective strong ability in his kit,
its an pre nerf nerfed operator, if you catch my drift, its an fast op that leg kills, but CAN NOT wallbang, also it only has 5 bullets, so you cant miss 4 shots, hit one and reload to restart the cycle. he has limited use for the awp and cant be used for crazy plays
Wait what? Why not just take normal gameplay, which is definitely available rn. Kinda disappointing
where is yoru buff?
Why didn’t you talk about yoru compared to chamber. It’s an indirect nerf to yoru
anyone else feel like the same thing happens every time a new agent comes out? people hype them up but eventually they are sub par
No new skin bundle yet?!?
"Competitor to Killjoy and Cypher" "Competitor to Jett in some way" yeah sure bcs an agent that can escape death whenever she wants even if she did a mistake is sure as strong as someone like Cypher in the current meta.
all the sentinel mains rn are sad cus the instalock deulists are just gonna instalock chamber
Chamber is the Anti-Jett
Where the hell is dumpster on haven
I still don’t know about this character. Yeah him being able to trade deny is good but is his lack of ability to solo hold a site and lack of offense worth it? Might end up being pretty good as that extra fifth character
Chamber is just " the best defense is the best offense "
Just yoru with operator n sheriff
I think I would've seen the same clip a billion times haha
I feel like he is not going to be picked up by a lot of players just like jett. Most people don't have enough confidence with skills like those. I think he was literally made to replace jett even giving him a free op.
If you aren't running sheriff and all 8 headhunter rounds round 2 you aren't doing it right
This was nice to just listen to in the background as I do some work, love the interview!
His other abilities seem really cool but I just do not agree with how they made agent specific guns. The distinction between abilities & guns was very neat until now.
I know abilities kill but all other abilities are unique in their ways, not a buffed deagle or a buffed awp.
Loved the interview!! But what about Yoru´s rework D:
I called it in my nonsense early morning reddit post, Chamber is trying to pull away people from Jett.
Here's what I wrote,
"(RIOT was trying to create an agent that) was more viable than Jett in terms of being an aggressive anchor that could reposition instantly, but in a way that is not overly competitive with limitations set on range, sound cue's, and pull out time. The last point, pull out time, came as a bug with Jett that everyone seemed to like. Problem is, while it works out in making sure she doesn't quickly re-peek after dashing, it heavily nerfs her viability to be able to dash aggressively and become a proper entry fragger as RIOT intended her to be. This was surely not a bug that would stay. I don't play Jett, and as much as I hate getting rushed by a Jett as a time falling back, the Dash being able to ruin timing is such a unique ability which I respect RIOT for adding. Instead though, players have been saving Dash as a "bail card", so RIOT decided to make Chamber's signature ability around it. To further push Jett players (especially those that OP) against using the Dash defensively, I think RIOT should simultaneously buff the pull out time, but limit Dashing to only the directions being faced. This would mean people can still use it aggressively, with pull out time buffed, it can make up for aggressive side dashes. Using the Dash to retreat however, would require the player to turn to their desired direction first, dash, then have to do a 180 to re-peek the angle if they wanted to."
i think they should just make his Alarm bot retractable so he can create space like kj and Cypher in attack. 1 alarm watches flank. 1 is used to check angles. nobody there, get it back, and then used it for post plant. problem solved.
real quick, I didnt notice in the gameplay… is the TP a one time use or can you go back and forth multiple times on cooldown somehow?
Ngl he seems overhyped, his deag is 800 creds for a slightly stronger sheriff, his slows seems pretty gpod, and his tp is kinda loud. His op has 5 bullets but its good for eco. If anything, he seems pretty balanced, maybe even slightly underpowered imo.
Chamber will fall off just like yoru and kayo, come back to this comment in 2 weeks
u can just put your video talking + audio wave of him instead of looping gameplay
Damn that brought flashbacks to when they said Bridgett from OW would break the meta and ended up breaking the game
Idc about weaknesses, he's hot and I'm gonna main him no matter what 😀
Trade deny agents: jett Reyna chamber
Damn they really don't wanna talk about yoru
Zz
9:43 wow so original
the only player who does not want to play chamber are those not good at aiming xD
aa yep that includes me 😀 😀
18:42 – Proof Riot hates Yoru
Your late
Double sniper metaaaaaa yeahhh!!!!
are his abilities (teleport & alarmbot thing) breakable ?
I already see Content creator spaming videos: Chamber to Immortal, and after that wave it will be called Abilty only to Immortal
Really wish this guy didn’t fan girl and make everything seem wayyy cooler than they actually are. Really oversells everything, it’s just tacky at this point
won't get played as long as Jett has a dash
I hate that the guy peeks on Omen after tp, instead of waiting for the slow alarm to go off and then snipe
I feel as if when they explain how chamber will be able to tp around from dumpster to wherever but yoru has the semi same ability but not that many people use him as a agent to reposition where with chamber thats what his tp seems to be catching peoples eye and how to use his E.
That's why I love Riot decisions on Valorant, cause they often change things that we've grown accustomed to
Like in the economy changes update (around July if I remember correctly), that they changed the whole economy system and how we have to start thinking from now on about spending skills in the round
make cypher traps stay after death again
chamber is not a sentinel. just devs mislabeling him.
