This is why we love PRX. They use non-meta agents and find ways to bamboozle their opponents with that agent. They did with Yoru, and now they're doing it with Reyna
I feel like Reyna and Raze combo sums up the PRX playstyle perfectly. It must be so frustrating to fight Paper Rex when you're losing. You would feel outstratted, out aimed, out gunned. I said this plenty of times but to win against Paper Rex is to not play to their game. Because if you're swept to their tempo you will lose. I want Paper Rex to win Tokyo just because of how creative and meta-breaking they are. I want the world to see that there are more than one way of playing Valorant.
@@Mavis549 yeah so many emea and americas team playing textbook valorant with just slight adjustment and become boring, one round of game had 2 hour average just dumb unless other team dominating.
@@platoonval I know this thread isn't related at all to this but I hope that a lot of people don't take this as pick Reyna in ranked and more so as "Reyna can be viable in pro play in some situations". Reyna is still a bad agent and generally sub optimal in almost every situation and if you aren't aim wise extremely good you are still far better off picking a different agent. At the end of the day ranked play at it's core comes down to util usage almost always. If the enemy isn't using their util and you are you will generally win most rounds even if the enemy is out shooting you sometimes.
@@pittaaaabread I would have to disagree with you on that one, exactly because it's ranked and people don't have as good aim as pro players Reyna's eye can be more effective since it will be hard for them to snap back and kill you, also this uncordinated environment where she can find multiple duels is where Reyna thrives in
This is also shown how crucial the supporter role in PRX team. D4v4i, mindfreak, and benkai are reliable enough for their duelist to be confident and wreck their enemy. But now, with f0rsaken changing to be the 3rd duelist/supporter role, they're became more stable
PRX picking up an INSANE player (something) that would not be as impactful in any other team made this a dominating team. PRX rn is literally the stars aligning
Do not forget that when you pick reyna, you forced to have high fire power. Unlike other duelist who have survival skill like jett dash, yoru tp, or raze satchel that when you failed to frag you can either run or make a move to try fight the enemy again, reyna skill force you to frag or you die. That’s why having reyna on your team means you have to take the risk and also crazy enough. And yeah that’s prx are, they are crazy enough to play an unorthodox strat every time they come❤❤❤❤❤.
And if somehow you kill an enemy and Reyna get even just 1 orb, it'll become short 'Yoru' ultimate that give info on enemies location thru Viper pit, Harbor wall, and/or Astra wall... (free peek)
@@user-up4gi7my7x Yeah... but it's PRX... they come like FBI meme... even if 1 or 2 of themself got killed, they'll still get a kill most of the time... (just hope reyna still alive after all of that)
@@user-up4gi7my7xusing reyna as the second entry can very consistently secure a kill. Someone has to get the trade right? It’s not like rounds are won by avoiding contact
And it's not just a short Yoru ult, you become some sort of beacon that attracts the enemies' attention on you. So like a visible Yoru ult where people are wary of you so they keep looking at you, meanwhile the others will come in and shoot for you.
They don't need to be, though. Worst case scenario, one of them flashes early in the round to slow down the enemy team and waits for the other to arrive so they can try and retake using the flash left
I don't think so, competitive games like valo is like mind games. You don't expect a team using the same strat every round. Which leads to DRX to be cautious and start to hesitate.
It’s really impressive bcs in high elo I rarely see ppl using reyna. It’s always jett but if u go play in lower elo pretty sure reyna pick rate is the highest so the fact that prx could make it work in a team play and even won the pacific title. Hope they can keep it up for tokyo
Yeah....no. like the alst guy said , the entire comp would struggle in entry....this is pro play not ranked , not having a proper entry will get hard punished
reyna is a bad agent lol objectively speaking in terms of like optimizing your play. it just fits prx since they often intentionally make suboptimal plays to catch their opponents off balance
it works because of prx's aggressive playstyle btw. this won't work for teams whose playstyle are more passive. i doubt other teams will start to pick this up since it's way too aggressive and you need a very confident duelist like something to really make it work
Not really. It only works because of PRX's playstyle and Something himself. Any other team would find it difficult. It's not like the old Optic's Neon comp that everybody copied. Optic's playstyle was close to the playstyle of majority of the teams so it was easy for them to emulate and integrate the Neon comp in their own. Meanwhile, look at the Yoru comp by PRX. Almost no other team tried it. It just didn't work for them because their playstyle is fundamentally different than that of PRX so they can maybe copy the agent comp but definitely struggle in using it the PRX way.
It's very interesting seeing people finally finding good value from flashing duelists in organized play. Especially in the first contact into second entry style
No hate to DRX but they are Koreans, literally goated at any games. But it’s always a pleasure to see a SEA team dominating at a major event, let’s hope something can figure out the visa issue
Man, imagine this combo vs Loud on bind. It's basically a combo to force chamber to use TP. I think this game will be the one of the most mind game in the valorant. This combo should be the one that can cancel chamber strategy. Chamber on bind is so annoying because you need throw all your habilities on him, and some cases, you still need to go to chamber just to force him to teleport. With this combo chamber basically will not have any sound and vision, forcing him to teleport because he can't get any info and with a chance to die blinded if he continues on this local.
team like loud and fnatic always anticipate strat that dangerous for them, they always come with counter strat, prx need to keep things fresh or they'll end up losing like masters before.
u cant forget forsaken dropping 77 kills on flex he had 1 duelist map in the final and he didnt rlly drop many kills on that so most of his kills come from controller/sentinel and thats just insane i also remember their first game w something where forsaken played kj and aced twice in 1 half vs t1 davai is also craty and mindfreak can make every clutch winable i think theyre gonna win this tourney
It's not just Reyna - Skye combo, the agent who make this comp possible is Harbor. There are teams who copied the Reyna - Skye but didn't perform that good because they didn't know that Harbor is actually the agent making this combo work.
Imagine being Gold-Plat, last year and call for Skye - Reyna combo, on Breeze. If everyone plays to setup the Reyna, she gets a lot of value even on eco rounds.
well this is the same with gekko dizzy and sky bird combo, the only difference is that reyna can dismiss and get out of the tense position easily if she gets a kill which makes it super hard to deal with
Because it's fking ranked not pro play. There's way better options than Reyna in ranked where such coordinations is rather childish to do, i say this with immortal friends who agree the same
Yes agree, when I play reyna, I will use my flash for the teammates mostly, for me, her flash is more like a bait, just like how I use KJ bots or Fade prowler and haunt as bait
The thing is that their bait works more often than reyna's blind which can be shot down 0.5 seconds by my immo high edpi player. Then the entire team is stuck at the door since they ahvent even entered properly (except for duelist) and guess what my next friend does (wallbang odin, yeah idk how they do it in immo but it works ridiculously )
You can have the same combo with Gekko and any inmediate flash like brim, skie, phoenix. Because blue-buddy takes almost 2 seconds to shot, if both utilities are thrown together, it creates a long-blind of 4 seconds, quite op.
Reyna might get nerf after seeing this combo. But either way that is a buff on its own. And it is also very creative. I can also see that Reyna and Kay/o can be a good combo as well for ascent.
I don't think so. Her pick rate is already low on pro scene, nerfing her would just obliterate her pick rate in pro scene. If teams started to pick Reyna and no teams have the counter, then Riot would nerf her. It's the same case as Chamber. Teams cannot find his counter so Riot nerfed him.
what do you mean nerf reyna lol, riot literally buff Yoru insane and pros still wouldnt want to pick him other than Navi lmao and that Yoru imagine reyna
As a Reyna main thank you. I'm extremely happy when I saw Reyna get used in VCT. Especially when she used in game changers grand finals last year. I love the agent from lore to play so it's nice to see her get called useful and have more ways to play her.

One disadvantage on defense is that they can easily identify where agents are, since Reyna and Skye is together everytime.
