that first kill was insanely clean. honestly the first 2 minutes of this video is insane in just the sheer and complete lack of any mistakes I can pick up
This whole game was incredibly well played by Mikael. He was relentlessly focused on highest value options the entire game with essentially no down time at all.
That's an absolute stomp! Without the separation of ranked vs unranked, this kind of split is going to happen a lot. Even if MMR matches, the mindset isn't the same.
Quick question from someone who doesn't play very much.. Why do you walk in front of creeps to parry the tower instead of just shooting it safely from behind them?
@@Shirombo 3k items are not 'cheap' buys, made even worse when you are behind. His base abilities alone are strong enough, and he arguably does not need his ultimate in most fights. His kit is over overtuned right now compared to other characters, especially during early game. If they just removed the damage amp from barrage he would not feel as oppressive, totally unnecessary stat.
@@MaverickTF 3k to shut down someone ultimate is definitely cheap. His escape litterally countered by 1.3k item lmao. Just buy his counter items, I watch eido whos the best pocket get shut down when enemy team know how to buy counter items. Plus debuff remover is good overall green items.
@@Shirombo My comment already mentioned that his ultimate is not even the strongest part of his kit, and yes it *is* expensive. If everyone on a team needed it (which they don’t), that would be 18k net worth for a char existing. Don’t think you’re factoring in how builds work in early game. Having to prioritise a primarily defensive item that offers no other utility hampers you from buying more effective items which therefore weakens your fight potential. Silence glyph only lasts 3 seconds, any decent Pocket player can play around this as both of his best cooldowns have the same if not longer active windows. His identity is meant to be an escape artist and bait the enemy team into focusing him, but right now he just absolutely nukes everything that comes close. They either nerf his damage or his utility because again, he is overturned.
It is not a sometimes thing, if you are currently reloading it will be completed as soon as the 3 finishes, it doesn't if you are not reloading, it is clunky and I wish they change it but it is consistent
This matchmaking is brutal. This viscous legitimately looks new. Correction: That whole lobby looks new, ffs Valve fix the MM. Honestly isn't even that fun to watch a noob stomp like this
interestingly the people in the video noticed that Ivy had bought their account from a booster, think the disparity may have been influenced by that manipulation. But yeah the game is also losing players a lot so i suppose a lot will change before they consider things finished
@GH-jl2td Brother, I agree MikaelS is great, but let's be real, it doesn't take a trained eye to realize that dude had no idea what he was doing. That was nowhere near high MMR play. He had no clue how to lane (against pocket of ALL heroes who has -15% spirit res), and he didn't know basic viscous combos and movement. It was pretty simple to see and a name really shouldn't convince you otherwise.
Morty has more ranked games played than mikaels does. They're an eternus player and nowhere near new. Sometimes a player has a bad game, and if their lane opponent is having a good game it'll exacerbate how bad they look. The matchmaking is far from perfect, but this is an eternus lobby and none of the players in it are new. eternus makes up less than 1% of the playerbase, people are not accidentally being given this rank.
"Sir, they put him in Phantom lobby again."
It was eternus 6 actually 🤓☝️
@@Invisible_Walker 4*
@@Invisible_Walker No way this is an Eternus lobby.
@@raiva1963 According to the end screen it is. I recognize the Paradox's name from other games too.

When the pros are on fire they can pull things like this. Even against other pros. It's normal
10:20 that was fuckin girthy
bro stop you're gonna get my main nerfed

It will stop the tower from attacking for a second or two, so your push with the creeps will last longer
@ gotcha, makes sense. Thanks!
@@InsidiousEnemyAlso helps if the enemy hero is under tower since they now target you as soon as you shoot them
how is he able to see the ranks at the end of the game?
I hate pocket. He has SOO many options. A really good pocket is impossible todo anything about. He can ALWAYS escape AND kill.
Silencer/curse/slow , debuff remover, spirit armor. All of them are cheap, you can easily counter him. Especially debuff remover.

Every characters op. I can build a Kelvin that would destroy you on any other character
when will pocket 3rd skill auto reload? cause it sometimes reload itself after using skill 3 sometimes it doesn't

Poor viscous
crosshair ID please? :3
Bro is going to expose how OP veil is, chill out man
Viscous getting cyberbullied in lane
UNCATCHABLE!
mm seem broken
Idk whats wrong with me but I just can't frag frag as pocket. I can do good but not too good
22k souls at 15 min, thats extremely good.
i think both mikaels and pocket are imba lol

This is more like the difference between a low and high grandmaster in StarCraft
A high GM can make anyone look bad
ping 6ms this is fucking cheating
I swear the player base is gonna drop if he keeps stomping people like this
There's only a couple hundred players at his skill level. So don't worry about that
Bro learn to use keyboard skill assigment and shop pre buy youll be much better
Another pubstomp? 🥱
