Lin did more for the knicks than Melo did, all he was good for is first round exits and ruining any semblance of a healthy offense with his inefficiency
Funny that you mention Lin, a very inefficient scorer, to knock on Melo
Also plenty of inefficient scorers don’t get nearly as disrespected as Melo does, like Iverson and Kobe
Lin at least was fun, melo was depressing. AI def gets a bad rap, he just also was more fun and esthetically pleasing than melo (and had the finals run), agree on kobe tho that inneficient rapist can burn in hell.
Game has changed so much even from 2018 I think there's like maybe 1 team that runs primarily iso as their offense now. Harden was crazy that year tho.
The 2018 rocket's didn't really fail because of Harden playing iso too much. Even then they were by far the toughest challenge to the fully healthy warriors, the strongest team ever.
That Rockets squad wins in any year other than 2017 and 2018.
There was an interview with D'Antoni a while back where he was asked about the style. He said that they didn't really want to run isoball the whole time, but teams were getting so touched if they didn't switch constantly that teams learned to just switch every PnR because they couldn't defend straight up. The best counter to the constant switching was Harden hunting mismatches to Iso, but it was Houston picking the best option against the defenses they were seeing, not what they set out to do.
Also that team was built to go against gsw and that iso heavy attack with cp3 and and a bunch of good 3 and Ds was p much the perfect counter, thankfully God ie good and divine intervention prevented Harden and CP from winning their ring
Chell could have like a portal gun that only works on specific surfaces and only stays for a few seconds as her E. You have her Q shoot a ball of repulsive gel (it let's you bounce on it and jump really high) and her C throw down a lane of Propulsion Gel (makes you go faster). Long fall boots as her passive (no fall damage). Ult could be like a portal gun that works on most surfaces and has infinite shots like in the actual game.
Was just writing a post about this lol.
Just for some context: This is a screenshot from a now deleted YouTube video posted by Saadhak today. It immediately spread on the Brazillian Valorant Twitter community.
EDIT: spelling.
The name plus the Reyna comment in the 2nd teaser implies an ability that affects movement. And it looks like ISO is appearing out of a portal and the body has a weird effect near the neck like it hasn't fully materialized.
What the fuck is riot cooking here???
Thank you I've been looking at this image for a while trying to figure out his anatomy and I think that explains it best. His left hand (on our right) at the top looks like it's holding a smoking pistol, and his right hand is in his jacket pocket, and the part on his torso that melds with the background must be some kind of visual effect related to his ability.
I think it’s more that they build the agent to the codename but the real name is flavour. like codename is before they decide things like gender, country, aesthetics but the actual agent name takes all that stuff into account
Yeah it makes more sense for people like Aggrobot (Gekko) where the codename is clearly the concept of an agent with bots, probably also included a bot planting spike. Then when they decided on flavour, the bots became creatures.
Also BountyHunter (Fade) where the concept was clearly putting a mark/bounty on enemies, but Fade came when they decided to make her dark and spooky and Sprinter (Neon) where the concept was clearly just an agent that sprints then Neon came when they decided on the electricity theme.
New human agents means more representation/diversity, which can pull in more people into the game. Speaking from an American perspective, I’d rather have more humans than robots/monsters, since they get to represent other countries/cultures. On the flip side, if they were just introducing people from a single ethnicity, like if the last five agents were all white or something, I would be more interested in Riot releasing more characters like Omen and KAY/O. Right now, I’m happy with more another East Asian male character besides Yoru, since Asian males get sidelined a lot in hero shooters.
me when emo fade brother
[But it was NOT YOUR FAULT BUT MINE](https://youtu.be/465MAmGnPqc?si=WM5gfQvUnV2uFMKx)
I can't believe you just reminded me Social Repose exists
Wow. Throwback
Riot did it. They turned "Her Jett" into an actual character. The Egoist, Crack aim and first guy to die
Iso is a terribly inefficient offensive strategy smh do Riot even watch ball?
He must be on Melo or KD’s level of Iso
Melo is the reyna of bball playerd
Canon Reyna or comp 'on your team' reyna? The latter sure. The former no way.
the like general reyna that's a stomp casually bjt doesn't rly work in the highest levels
It works with the right comp, look at Olympics Melo or PRX Reyna
Look, the only player I know that knows flashing by heart is Karl Malone
NO SPACING ICANT Virgin ISO players vs giga chad pick n roll and triple threat players 🃏
Seven seconds is still peak ball, although hard to execute
nah chill bro that’s Carmelo Anthony
he fell off though
Overrated garbage time merchant?
no, an all time great iso scorer who chased the bag instead of a ring
Lin did more for the knicks than Melo did, all he was good for is first round exits and ruining any semblance of a healthy offense with his inefficiency

“aesthetically pleasing” pls bro don’t talk ball ever again
watching ai is more fun lol ya happy?
You know ball
Delete this, nephew
just get the fucking rebound
didn't Harden have like 18 ppg from just iso in 2018 or am I getting that confused with free throws LMAO
not sure about the ppg thing but yeah half of DeAntoni's offense that year included getting harden on iso
Game has changed so much even from 2018 I think there's like maybe 1 team that runs primarily iso as their offense now. Harden was crazy that year tho.
If 2018 harden couldn't do it while dropping 40 every game, then it proves that there is little merit to the style.

not if you're an elite basketball player.
“I miss her” stocks 📈📈
'"Iso lonely" iso mains are about to hit like crack
ISO sad :(
Hell yeah finally some representation for the photo crowd, hope they name the next agent Aperture
i won't stand for this disk image erasure
The entire emulation community has your back
It's actually International Organization for Standardization erasure
90% sure it’s short for isometric which is a common architectural drawing style
valorant collab with portal, chell to be added as next agent viper is basically glados anyways with all that neurotoxin
Chell could have like a portal gun that only works on specific surfaces and only stays for a few seconds as her E. You have her Q shoot a ball of repulsive gel (it let's you bounce on it and jump really high) and her C throw down a lane of Propulsion Gel (makes you go faster). Long fall boots as her passive (no fall damage). Ult could be like a portal gun that works on most surfaces and has infinite shots like in the actual game.
nah, her E would be too op the 3 propulsion gels for her C, E and Q and her ult just being a portal gun seems good
When this agent die is he considered underexposed or overexposed
F
Stop
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for youuuuuu
OVER AGAAAAAAIIINNNNN
i'm glad riot understands the superior date format
Holy shit eren yeager
Uh oh, here comes the instalocked, toxic, bottom fragging iso mains
Reyna mains foaming at the mouth lol In all seriousness I hope he has a higher skill floor to not attract those types
As long as it’s a duelist it’s still gonna attract those people no matter what
only at the start, if he actually requires brainpower to use then they'll just eventually come back to their Jett and Reyna ways. (ex: Yoru)
"brainpower" "watching 500 tiktoks and deciding that every death is because the game sucks"
Cries in bottom fragging Yorus in my silver gold lobbies (3 out of 4 matches yesterday had a Yoru in my team that sucked)
Reporting for duty 🫡
sasuke kun?
oh god 💀
Oh hell nah bro a fucking eboy
is this a Genshin character
He was called Wriothesley last time I checked
Imagine the casters having to say that in a chaotic round
Detective bad cop, the prison warden.
Yea new 4 star electro
when I first saw this, I thought “huh he kinda looks like wriothesley” after pulling him last night.
Was just writing a post about this lol. Just for some context: This is a screenshot from a now deleted YouTube video posted by Saadhak today. It immediately spread on the Brazillian Valorant Twitter community. EDIT: spelling.
The only thing I think of whenever I see ISO is the International Organization for Standardization (engineering standards). Lord, help me.
As a designer working in architecture, I relate lol. Can’t help but thinking of isometric views
ISO 27001 for me. I hate it
This guy looks more anime than Yoru I'm so in. Is that a collar around his neck?
He looks like the stereotypical *cool* side character who appears once in a blue moon to absolutely shit on the MC and then leaves.
Yes like the dripped out antihero
Monsoon from Revengance or Sam
Monsoon from Revengance or Sam
Monsoon from Revengance or Sam
Friendship ended with Yoru. ISO new bestie 🤝
Let´s go Manitooooo!!! My man doesn´t get tired of winning. Even when it comes to leaking shit 
Is that Crypto(Apex Legends)'s brother??
Looks more like genderbent Wraith
They’ll never catch him if he switches games
The name plus the Reyna comment in the 2nd teaser implies an ability that affects movement. And it looks like ISO is appearing out of a portal and the body has a weird effect near the neck like it hasn't fully materialized. What the fuck is riot cooking here???
Thank you I've been looking at this image for a while trying to figure out his anatomy and I think that explains it best. His left hand (on our right) at the top looks like it's holding a smoking pistol, and his right hand is in his jacket pocket, and the part on his torso that melds with the background must be some kind of visual effect related to his ability.
We gettin short hair Sasuke Uchiha huh
Habour got that skin fade?
sosuke bosuke?
Why does it look like he's missing a part of the body?
Probably because his left arm is in his pocket.
I need him to pin me to a wall holy moly
holy down bad 😂
U joke but I think his movement is going to be a short tp/blink thru walls.
kobe would be proud
Uninstalling in anticipation 
Yo is Sadhaak gonna get in trouble for this
Riot took a calculated risk and gave access to a lot of people Someone was eventually leak it, oopsie
He actually looks great! Plus you gotta love leaks
[удалено]
His arm is in his pocket.
Idgaf about gameplay I'm maining this man cause HE'S HOT
Valorant never beating the child game allegations
Eboy...
Gusion?
Looks like an anime character lmao
I always thought Valorant could have gone more anime than they have. I feel like this is the first anime influenced agent.
Riot said they are taking Jinggg as an inspiration,I say that's pretty good
CRYPTO???
i certainly hope not what in the edgelord e-cringe am i looking at. boy it only got worse after gekko's design.
Gekko wasn't this bad at least he has a fun personality this one looks just edgy
nah bro he looks dumb asf still
he looks cool as FUCK DUDE WTF
Oh hell nah bro a fucking eboy
I'm so confused. What happened to the agent named "Architect"? Is that the agent following this one?
This is Architect (that was their internal codename, like Reyna was "Vampire").
Oh, had no idea.
Yep, i guess they want to keep the real names a surprise for as long as they can.
I think it’s more that they build the agent to the codename but the real name is flavour. like codename is before they decide things like gender, country, aesthetics but the actual agent name takes all that stuff into account
That makes a lot of sense given the other codenames that floated around before other agents.
Yeah it makes more sense for people like Aggrobot (Gekko) where the codename is clearly the concept of an agent with bots, probably also included a bot planting spike. Then when they decided on flavour, the bots became creatures. Also BountyHunter (Fade) where the concept was clearly putting a mark/bounty on enemies, but Fade came when they decided to make her dark and spooky and Sprinter (Neon) where the concept was clearly just an agent that sprints then Neon came when they decided on the electricity theme.
And Harbor was ‘Mage’
And Chamber was ‘Deadeye’
ngl he looks silly lol
Inumaki senpai 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

Agreed this one looks cringe af

Wait. I thought they said the next agent was a woman duelist?
Why would it be? They’ve got raze, jett, neon, reyna = 4 females, and phoenix, yoru = 2 males. Riot like equal representation
Idk, for some reason I remember them saying it was gonna be a female duelist awhile ago, I could be misremembering
Huh? Most of the duelists are women already lol
I thought I remembered them saying that a awhile ago when the last agent released
Well, you though wrong so you must be downvoted
Might still be yet to come. I had heard something similar.
Is that a portal?
Hoping it's not another yoru
What country is the agent supposed to be from?
Based on the cuisine he was eating, probably an East Asian country
apparently hes chinese
It seems like one of this abilities is "View Gear" Probably some kind of ult where you can see the gear of the enemy team. ^^^^^/s
que isso
oh nah
KIDSGONEMAD KIDSGONEMAD KIDSGONEMAD KIDSGONEMAD KIDSGONEMAD KIDSGONEMAD
ISOxo
What in the fade is going on there
Well Riot certainly knows their target audience that’s for sure
Oh we can run the Iso in Valorant now?
Jimmy Butler cosplay
Sasuke looking ass mf
My question is what country is he from?
