I feel like neon is the definition of a casual stomp agent. In lower ranks, where everyone doesn’t one tap you as soon as you peek a pixel out, her ult in particular can be VERY good (a more consistent Jett ult) for players who are better/more consistent at tracking compared to one taps/flicks. But in high level/pro play she’s not worth
I have a feeling she could be extremely useful when someone can really play her and abuse her mobility, but just as a 'hop on this character and use their utility' yeah she doesn't bring much
@@nxvh9062 its the same as yoru, a good player can make it work but that doesnt make it anymore good or useful. its just someone fragging out on the agent
@@Senbonzakuraaaapp Her Stun is my main gripe in and of itself. Going 2 Duelist (Her included) often becomes problematic in lower elo because the first instinct of the neon is throw her stun forgetting the fact that everyone in her team as attacker goes for the entry...
Idk, for me Neon is pretty nice character, her slides help to surprise attack enemies, and yeah 30% out of time it doesn't work well, but it still helps, her mobility makes it easy to rotate and confuse some players in some moments, I can't tell that her ULT is useful, but in some moments it is fun to track people with it. Would've been more useful, if she had chain lightning on her second skill, cause it is worthless for now, like that skill doesn't do much. Or just make her walls to damage more hp, than it does for now, cause I don't buy it just because it doesn't change anything at all. But still, her mobility is the best part of her tbh, I play her just because she runs fast and slides, cause it is the most common thing I needed after Apex.
Agree, neon is mega-overhyped by under immortal. I'm radiant in SEA server and this character is good, but not have the biggest impact in team play. If you play solo it's GREAT, you can run fast, wall, stun, slide shoot, etc. But in teamplay, her biggest weapon become her biggest weakness. So as long as you play casual, just chilling, this agent is super fun to play.
I think Neon should be paired with jett for a very good entry duo. Imagine having smokes to cover your sprinting neon or stuns for a jett dashing for a kill. When Feb comes we will see a new meta for sure, considering Neon and Chamber are now available.
He’s not wrong, neon is a terrible character in high ranks. That running out and sliding shit doesn’t work unless you are someone like shroud. Her stuns are okay but easily avoided and there’s very few places on most maps where you can bounce it so it becomes repetitive, her wall is pretty good for getting into site but it doesn’t last long so it HAS to be paired with a flash agent. Her ugly is pretty good but it has a slow to kill unless you are really close which kind of sucks. All in all I agree with what he said, neon is basically just a ranked stomp character.
I think she could be a strong pocket pick in higher ranks. There are characters kinda like her in r6 siege, and they maintain pro viability because they throw off 'normal' gameplay so much
I don’t think an agent has to fit into pro play to be a good agent , they game has loads of game modes including unrated so if she’s fun to play i think she’s a good agent
I think shroud kinda judges all characters like they were supposed to cater towards pros which they are not. this game is 99.9% casual players and the pro scene is only a fraction of the player base. Not every character riot has and is going to release will have a place in the pro meta or even be intended to be played by pros. With neon especially i feel like its very obvious she caters towards low to mid elo players who just enjoy running and gunning and don’t take the game too seriously whilst sliding around the map.
Yeah he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He gets these weird opinions and no matter what anyone says to him in chat he always combats it with something stupid. Neon is good and will continue to be good if she isn’t nerfed in any way
Honestly Neon pretty good in breeze. That long wall is very nice Her ult does seem slow to kill being that it's literal lighting. Maybe like if it killed like 100ms faster also her concuss just seems to fly away super far away.
her wall is ok, its the stun, like really why is it there? a electrical blind would be so much better, or maybe she blinds people for a brief moment but it also jams their tech? like kj's turret would be jammed by electricity? if she would be able to blind and jam at the same time that'd be cool
@@nsdevilz1011 You definitely have to get used to her stuns but i think this ability has a high potential. Also her wall isn't that bad and her ult is actually very good. In my opinion she is a pretty solid char.

Neon is pretty good in ranked too,he can entry and help stun while the others are trying their best to shoot her,her team would kill them in exchange

you can say you have pretty good lvl when you say the character is not that good but roll over an entire team alone with it at the same time XD
If your main weapon is shotgun play neon slide and boom enemy died that's simple
Noodle play neon is so sick 95 percent op but when shroud play neon only 40 percent he don't know how the skill works
He was literally smurfing. Something that isn't allowed lol
@@markcrumbz3172 is was not smurfing. It was rank reset.
fucking plats and diamonds any avg player would roll over these shits
Shroud: I think neon is bad
also Shroud: *makes it look like neon is broken*
huh??
Built different
“I really don’t see her fitting into any professional meta”
Meanwhile iron players playing call of duty on split running at the speed of light 🏃
Wat
Oh damn didnt know iron players are professionals
Well he did say professional
2:13 carefull XD watch your eyes kids, it's bloody...
“Getting out of plat isn’t that hard”
Plat players:
Hey man I think this game is unleashing your inner animal! Lmao 7:05

have been watching you since cloud9 cs homie miss the fire serp days much love
I love your Videos best part of my day is when they come out
He fired the last video editor i guess 😂😂
2nd half pistol round was amazing 👏

That 6-6 clutch is why shroud got picked and you didn’t
9:24 wow! 1vs4🥵🥵🥵 lit 🔥
I feel like neon is only good at the beginning, but when people start catching on to her patterns, she’s gonna lose her viability
So basically like any new agent?
@@NiliMoto 💀
Kinda like Yoru at first
@@NiliMoto astra, chamber, and kaiyo were all good from the get go and are still used a lot in high ranks
I think she could be a strong pocket pick in higher ranks. There are characters kinda like her in r6 siege, and they maintain pro viability because they throw off 'normal' gameplay so much
9:24 epic moment
when Shroud plays seriously 10:13
Shroud is soo cracked it’s crazy
bruh shroud ur so good, i was jett gg brother
I don’t think an agent has to fit into pro play to be a good agent , they game has loads of game modes including unrated so if she’s fun to play i think she’s a good agent
Well if the pros did find a use of Phoenix am sure they will find use of Neon.
Phoenix's ult is more viable to run thru sites so
Damn shroud popped off in this vid fr
I think we teams might play breach, astra, viper, neon, sky. These are all characters that can synergize verry easily.

good point
Well, I mean thats the unique insight he has, otherwise he has nothing interesting to say that an average valorant player wouldnt already know
It’s only normal for him to judge agents like that. Shroud is a very great player and has been competing in games for many years.
thats his thing tho so of course he does
He did say she's a pubstomper; really good at it.
I’m always surprised at how good people are in low ranks in this game
9:20 That’s a funny choice to words lol
Shroud all time C9 god ❤️🔥
ghost demon shroud
7:26 pure john wick moment
I remember he said the same about jett kekw
Yeah he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He gets these weird opinions and no matter what anyone says to him in chat he always combats it with something stupid. Neon is good and will continue to be good if she isn’t nerfed in any way
They actually tried to hit you with the afk lie
2:39 so if you finish someone with a wallbang, the finisher won't show up?
Shroud are you on steroids on this one?
I'm glad the intro is not loud anymore
6:21 is The REAL Action on Trailer
I love your gameplay man♥️♥️
Neon is a agent that requires someone insane at mechanical aim is what I’m getting from this
Not really, shes very run and gun and thrives at close quarters combat.
Shroud: Neon sucks - Minutes later, owns a team alone with her! xD
ayo
probably cuz you still use weapons? no matter what agent youre on
@@tempo5555 Doh... But you clearly see in the video that he uses her skills to play that aggresive.
my boi da best❤️
Honestly Neon pretty good in breeze. That long wall is very nice
Her ult does seem slow to kill being that it's literal lighting. Maybe like if it killed like 100ms faster also her concuss just seems to fly away super far away.
your opinion on games is placid shes gonna be played and bind is the only decent map in valorant
5:00 molly aint whatever, its good
Cant wait for crazy racoon to be the first team to use neon
That cyper was my dad
2:13 that's bullying
She kinda gives me the fun vibe of playing games
her wall is ok, its the stun, like really why is it there? a electrical blind would be so much better, or maybe she blinds people for a brief moment but it also jams their tech? like kj's turret would be jammed by electricity? if she would be able to blind and jam at the same time that'd be cool
*OPTIC VICTOR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT*

Shroud please play some csgo everyone would love to see it I guarantee a video on csgo would do really well
Panutanku 🗿
it's so funny to see shroud shouting hahahahahah
Why don’t you have a kill icon at the bottom of your screen for some guns that you use when you get a pick?
Neon gives me apex vibes
Bruh shroud knows every duelist's plays in valorant wahahaha
Everyone have a blessed day if you see this
Nice game shroud!
he said "oh my god"... yeah XD
Neons stun is pretty sick tho, despite all his complaints with her
yeah her stuns are nice but many times i stunned myself/my teammate because of the bounce
@@nsdevilz1011 You definitely have to get used to her stuns but i think this ability has a high potential. Also her wall isn't that bad and her ult is actually very good. In my opinion she is a pretty solid char.
9:26 _Jesus Christ_
No one’s said anything about that head dink on astra bout halfway thru. Doesnt kill the guy but definitely was a amazing shot
6:08 😳
i know why neon has all these powers
shroud with a ghost is like tenz with an op (yes i like both players) ^^
The GOAT of gaming
One of my fav players ❤️
bruh shroud, why didn't you upgrade your reaver?
A bit of apex action
G303 baby
God❤❤
Love from india man♥️♥️
He funny how he complains about the agent while absolutely dominating the enemies with her that defense pistol round clutch was something else
You just don't push Shroud like that, Idk what they were expecting. 9:24
How shroud plays mouse 2
neon is best rule 34 materiel
imagine facing shroud in plat lobby
Neon is a monster in lower elo imo
*Human aimbot*
Apart from everything CYPER was a god here
Big fan sir From Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️
Cool🤙🏻
So for brimstone
Can we get 5000 likes for the greatest player in video game era?
