>>5239838It's to be expected, all the girls receive a bit of hate but it's especially easy to place the blame on IGL or Gib players because of the overwhelming advantage Gib has(some players get criticized for selfish dome etc). It doesn't help that Nazuna(and Toto) can make the entire team look obsolete in Valorant so you get the "why are you making everyone look bad, it's only casual" trolls and when she sandbags it's the reverse argument.
Wingman is nice but in a competitive sweat environment it's not as reliable as Flatline or R-301 even though I am really sick of Flat/R-301+Eva. Lastly the weapon is so much stronger in aggressive play and close range combat with multiple LoS breaks which doesn't mesh with Nazuna's Caustic/Gib.
Nazuna is still in the old mindset of taking and holding strong positions, needs to play some Path or more Wraith and get used to being an annoying mosquito.
>>5234458Easy to forget that Noah has been IGL for VSPO a few times for Splat and APEX. She is quite close to Nazuna in terms of mindset ie taking initiative and providing her own input. Seems like Japan doesn't value second opinions when the team lead is much stronger.
Honestly it's less of her coming out of her shell and more seeing old Noah back. She can't really showcase much in APEX since she's playing Bloodhound and mainly as a support rather than shotcaller even in casual/ranked.
For non-VSPO topics, how do you guys feel about Uto? I'm always wary of seeing vtubers starting to stream APEX and then showing that they're really strong at the game from the get-go.
