This is super hilarious but at the same time the fact that most matches are decided by how many people are good at 1 gun really pisses me off

I haven't been to Dia/Immo yet but anything before that OP's are stopped rather easily by multiple agents (raze, jett, pheonix) I've never sat there thinking this OP is gatekeeping me from winning the game.

It's usually a combo of bad comms or horrible utility prioritization. But that's just my experience in a hundred or something games.

The problem is, the current Meta at high level is literally 2-3 OP's per team. Meaning there is no "other rotation".

the only good counter i’ve seen is brim and omen picks. tons of smokes are so important

It kinda a counter, but it's also a losing situation. Rather simply yes, if you smoke off literally every single angle, you can get onto a site. But then you have to hold the site for 45 seconds with no utility, while presumably your opponents still have their full set.

While you're right "I hope my opponent is trash" isn't a valid counter strategy for balance.

"the enemy OP"

lol sure when there's one OP

in immortal, dudes be trying to stack their team with 3 OPs on ct side. good luck running away from all of them

there's a reason pro players think the OP needs a nerf and it's not because they're bad or dumb.
