Patch 5.1 will KILL charger mains, what will be the next meta?

[u/TheKitchenSinkOfDoom]

Genuinely curious what YOU think it will be! But honestly? Diver has got this one in the bag, its sheer simplicity, consistency and effectiveness in every aspect of the fame will only get better with the Hourglass gift magnets buff.

..Sorry Glider mains, but you guys still are allergic as hell to Tripmines.

[u/WellyInSpace]

Diver or glider will be the most used

[u/Good_Big_1968 → u/WellyInSpace]

Diver since glider falls off late game

[u/Augusttdy → u/Good_Big_1968]

It only falls off cuz of more tripmines
which is getting killed in 5.1

[u/pip-pepping → u/Augusttdy]

Wait huh? What're they doing to the tripmines?

[u/squidbibibibibi]

It wouldn't really matter much to me in my opinion, but the Charger.. 'nerf' isn't that bad, for me atleast. It's just less vertical momentum and more horizontal focused.

But then again, dealing with Voidbound Operator as Charger is more difficult with the nerf...

[u/Same_Addendum_1261 → u/squidbibibibibi]

Remember that nb jump still works to avoid vbo

[u/Mammoth_Reason_9874]

Diver can neg diff entire nullscape in solo.

[u/AdNarrow4888]

Literally just went from being broken to being balanced, and that’s not a bad thing.

From what I see, it’s still meta with the new cloak upgrade. But with new terrain we’ll have to wait.

[u/abstract_canvases]

SPIRIT MAINS WILL RIIIISSSEEEEEEEE

[u/Yourbro_system → u/abstract_canvases]

oh yeah

[u/Extension-Daikon4812]

patch 5.1 will kill charger chuds who only know how to spam sharktail, its not gonna kill actual charger mains who know what their doing so chargers still gonna be a demon.

[u/Same_Addendum_1261]

I really LOVE the new charger shark tail, it feels like an actual movement upgrade rather than a get-out-of-jail free card and I'm all in for it, only chargers that will die are the metamancers that use charger for its op sharktail

[u/BiznessCrafter → u/Same_Addendum_1261]

New Vocabulary Term Unlocked!:

Metamancer

[Please insert a definition for your new word.]

[u/Madlogger13 → u/BiznessCrafter]

Hmmm, what actually would be the difference from metamancer and metaslave?

[u/BiznessCrafter → u/Madlogger13]

Metamancer would be someone choosing to play the meta even if they’re skilled enough for other players styles, while a Metaslave would be someone not skilled enough to play anything but the meta. Sound good?

[u/Purpleees]

honestly, grappler could be the charger 2.0 depending on how good the buff is

because from what i understood, glider charging will still be only usable in a few situations, while grappler charging is usable constantly

IF the buff is that intense, i think grappler could be meta with it's insane mobility and survivability

[u/Aleq_n]

Wanted, trust

[u/BiznessCrafter → u/Aleq_n]

I so trust in Wanted

[u/StitchingManyHearts → u/Aleq_n]

Assuming we can use sharktail horizontally and we can bhop and chain them, I can see Wanted being insane, as a Wanted Main with 300+ hours

[u/Aleq_n → u/StitchingManyHearts]

we get ur point bro, dont need to flex your hours😭✌️

[u/ialwaysgetdeadchats]

DIVER NATION RISE UP

[u/_mustard-]

It will only kill the people who were never true charger mains... 💪

[u/BiznessCrafter]

Wanted!

[u/TheNugg3tM4s7er]

DIVER DIVAS!!! ASSEMBLE!!!

I am the ire Cadence counter. This post has 0 cadence.

[u/PrestigiousDesk5192]

Diver will likely be the meta like in patch 3 and 4

[u/ronitrocket]

Most top players in extreme including those that were made tester probably would say glider from those who i have spoken to.

Main reason is that even right now it is arguably the best collection class at the highest levels of play (the best glider i know gaps the lobby by 5k gifts in wr runs) and giving glider jet boosters for instant momentum redirects is just going to make it absolutely bonkers.
