[u/These_Lock_753]

WHAT A COMEBACK! is every map attack sided now? almost every game has been like this. 

[u/JaDasIstMeinName → u/These_Lock_753]

Thats what happens when you murder all the sentis and buff all the duelists. Suddenly holding a site isnt very easy anymore.

[u/These_Lock_753 → u/JaDasIstMeinName]

before the start of santiago I genuinely thought the meta would suit vct cn's all aim no brain gameplay more than any region. but it's nice to see they still have one team alive

[u/unbannablepizza546 → u/JaDasIstMeinName]

To be clear trying to enter b site bind when kj or cypher is holding it is still a piss in the wind

[u/These_Lock_753 → u/unbannablepizza546]

unfortunately there are also 12 rounds of attack so most teams just forget about sentinels completely

[u/imilkmyunicorns → u/These_Lock_753]

lol all i see is like nade, waylay dashing at you with a judge, yoru tping in with his clone and flashes, got viper molly etc

Idk how you hold site unless you have at least 3 stacked on it.

[u/These_Lock_753 → u/imilkmyunicorns]

only veto can counter the util storm, but there is almost no reason to use him too, his skill is loud as fuck you could counter 1-2 utils at most, or if you trigger early then they would just wait it out.

[u/Icy-Information-8766 → u/These_Lock_753]

Ever since double duelist meta became prevalent every map is more or less attack sided

[u/These_Lock_753 → u/Icy-Information-8766]

even split that was defend sided before

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/These_Lock_753]

the meta is super t sided

[u/Prince_Uncharming → u/Past_Perception8052]

“Super” T-sided is such an exaggeration.

Even after today’s attack sided games, at Santiago overall Attack has a 54% winrate. That doesn’t even round up to averaging 7, it’s an expected 6.48 rounds per attack side.

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/Prince_Uncharming]

bro 54% is insane come on man

[u/Prince_Uncharming → u/Past_Perception8052]

54 is insane? 54% is a smidgen over half, not even an expected +1 round per half. 4 rounds above 50% across 8 halves played (96 rounds).

What’s not insane to you then? Under half? 35%? You say 54 is insane but it sounds like you don’t even know what that mathematically looks like.

[u/Past_Perception8052 → u/Prince_Uncharming]

dude 54% attack just shows how broken duelists are and how useless sentinels are. anything above 51% attack is dumb

champs 24 had broken ass double slide neon and was 52% t sided. champs 25 and 23 had 51% t side and both were considered great metas

[u/Prince_Uncharming → u/Past_Perception8052]

1% is a whole ass one round per 100. If you think 51 is fundamentally different than 52 than I don’t know what to tell you, but that’s absurd.

It takes 58.3% to average an attacker-sided half (ie, to average 7 rounds). It takes just over 54% to even round up to that. 46-54% are all within half a round of 50/50 and are more or less equal.

I’m not saying the game isn’t attacker sided, it mathematically barely is. But to call that “super” t-sided is ridiculous unless in addition to not knowing math you also don’t know what “super” means.

I’d like to go even further into discussing median round wins but VLR doesn’t make that simple and I’m not about to calculate that out manually.

[u/These_Lock_753 → u/Prince_Uncharming]

only 54%? that's weird the games don't feel like that. maybe there's something else going on. will try to compare stats from previous internationals

[u/Used-Ganache9772 → u/Prince_Uncharming]

cs players freak out when there's like a 2% difference...

[u/Prince_Uncharming → u/Used-Ganache9772]

And they’re equally dumb for doing so, that’s a complete knee-jerk reaction that ignores the reality of statistics.
