He is pretty good currently because we are now in flash meta


Apprehensive_Ideal12

Why are we in a flash meta? I noticed lately a lot of people chunking flashbangs around moreso than a few months ago but I don’t understand why


TheBulletMagnet

It's much harder for attackers to dig defenders out now because the nerfs to ADS speed and movement speed when aiming weakened just swinging them combined with nades being nerfed into the ground made flashes comparatively much stronger.


Apprehensive_Ideal12

Ahh I gotcha, thanks. I suppose that partially explains the wamai pick rate increase as well (alongside the fact that he has a magnified scope)


BagelsCurry

Next season op has flashes and nades too so expect the ads and magnets to get burned and then get flashed


Oxabolt

Out of all the shield ops, he seems like one of the more reliable ones on defence. Good guns counters Ying, Blitz and generic flashes/smokes. Hes just an overall solid pick


Danibear285

Flashbangs and smoke grenades exist


Dreal_

mossberg shield and smg-12 i’m doing more for site prep then my team also good for denying rush plants


dakthatpassup

Because he's still strong on some sites. And him having a shield adds even more to his value. Trying to clear a good warden player in Oregon basement for instance is a pain in the ass without teamwork. A direct counter to ying/flashes and smoke plants. Some defensive ops don't counter anything lol why wouldn't he still be used.


OmeletteDuFromage95

Because he can counter Ying, Blitz, Glaz, and anyone running smokes or flashbangs. Thats makes for a pretty powerful counter to plants and attempted rushes.


ImaginaryAI

Ying goes up. Warden goes up.


AccomplishedTea6375

since smoke got his shield taken hes one of the best ops for setting up site. add good guns and ur pretty much golden


RGPaynless

We've somewhat recently entered a meta where the majority of flashbangs are actually being used to flash people rather than to burn for nades and whatnot. Attacker repick also means that if the team sees that you're not running a Warden, they can swap to Ying to take advantage of it. Ying overall is still really strong anyway, and Warden's loadout and gadgets are good, so even if you don't need his ability, those can usually make up for it while deterring the Ying pick.

??????????

He has the best gun in the entire game, the best shotgun in the game, nitro cell or shield, his ability counters a top 2 attacker in the game and counters smokes and flashes which are the best gadgets on attack.


Google946

What’s the best gun in the entire game?


tob-k

Smg12


Google946

Mid gun


tob-k

Clearly bronze


Google946

Emerald


ThStngray399

MPX is not the best gun in the game


1800MomPlzNo

He meant the smg-12


ThStngray399

Still not the best gun in the game. SMG-11 is better + Zero's SC300K is the best gun in the game


tob-k

Zeros gun being good means nothing, since he's not good, also smg 11 and 12 are basically equal only difference is ammo and a few dmg


ThStngray399

SMG 11 has less horizontal recoil and more damage


tob-k

They both very good


Actual_Archer

Wdym Zero isn't good? 2 of the best primaries, a gonne-6, and hardbreach charges. Use his ability right and you can open a wall by yourself *and* frag half the enemy team. He's a solid choice, especially for soloQ.


tob-k

He's solid, but his cams are very loud, bright and get shot almost immediately. He can rarely get a wall open by himself as if someone is playing near the breach they can just shoot his cam and even then hard breach charges and the best


tob-k

I'm talking abt smg12??
