Thank you for including your deaths in the videos. If I see that even a god at this game can die or be ganked, it makes me feel a little better about my own progress with playing and getting better 🙏
Thanks for putting out videos on high skill matches, very insightful. I enjoy watching close wins/loses more than stomps. I appreciate you making the content.
Always a good idea to try and shutdown the ADC carry, or at the least slow their scaling down. This video is a great example of actions to counteract getting ganked.
You can also get the kinetic dash and do it before ult, it scales the ult very nicely in fact with QSR + KD you do the dash, throw a dagger both in stealth, then shoot one bullet to activate your burst fire and ult, it's gonna be devastating
Might not work in higher MMR lobbies but I go Spirit Strike and Ammo Scavenger first items. If you land a knife with your Ammo Scavenger stacks at max it'll be the easiest kill of your life. Land the sleep, punch for like 352 and then finish them off with your guns. Even easier if you put your first ability upgrade on 3 and can weave in 20 stacks on the enemy between stacking your AScav. Lets say you get 15 stacks on them and have your AScav stacks maxed (6 orb confirms or denies) you hit the sleep for 159, a punch for 130 + 63 for spirit strike and then you'll shoot them 5 times for another pop of 224 damage even if its not a headshot. Meaning, with a proper set up you're hitting 576 for the combo. Insta kill 500-600 hp champs even if they got an item with healing and you easily finish off anyone who has 700 or more. Def will make them have to leave lane or buy healing items instead of their build. Crazy early game prio for only 1k souls and and an easy to set up combo. Ive won like 9/10 games starting with this early laning build. You should sell Spirit Strike after the lane phase.
His whole channel feels like the most clickbait shit of all time. he is a great player but his thumbnails, titles, and descriptions all feel so artificial
@@RedPatriarch not wrong in the slightest lmao. there are 100% much more broken characters than haze right now. and yes haze is not great till end game, untill you get ricochet and range extender haze is not a champion
Question, how do you chain slides so well? I usually go for pretty similar items on haze and vindicta, but it kinda never works. Almost like my slide after jumping works 30% of the time for some reason. I get that you need to have enough speed, but you sometimes chain like 3 slides and sometimes not even my second works, even though im fash enough...
You probably are not fast enough actually, it usually only works when sprinting or when you have some other form of movement speed item. Other than that it's just slide - jump - slide. Supposedly you do not need to let go of the slide button, however for me it does not work if I keep the slide button held down, not sure why.
@@DreadDoom yeah i just checked it out, it works only when you double jump, after that u can chain slides, if you dash slide u cant even jump from the slide so. And yeah u can keep holding the slide button as well, just time the jumps when you want
Kinetic dash gives you more slide as well. Not sure how he does it though either. I can't really play because of wrist injury, so I've resigned to watching.
You mentioned near the end of the match that you made a tier list yesterday. Could you possibly share that and your thought process? I understand balance is very volatile right now.
Do you generally get Ricochet this early always or based on farm/game situation? Also what do you think of Escalating Resilience? Is it situational swapping with Burst Fire?
At certain points your max ammo was at 100 / 15:30, and afterwards its down to 70, how is it this high compared to the base, Only item with it was like 35%, Is the rest all from boxes? And why does it go down later in the video to like 70 max ammo?
One of the best ways to shutdown Haze is to kill her early, as she is pretty weak. Kelvin was not "cringe" for coming after you, it was very smart. You're miles better than me and most people playing this game, but you dont need to call someone cringe for getting the better of you every now and then. Loving the vids.
Idk, I think something's not legit with MikaelS- if you notice it on his other videos, he has some unnatural snapping on minions and heroes 2:24; Look at how he 'snaps' to infernus despite him not being visible on the minimap OR visually on the screen, yet he correctly aims at infernus' head AND correctly 'guessed' the side of the wall he was going to be on 7:20 and put it on 0.5x speed and watch him land the sleep knife, and then play it normally to compare it's kinda sus. The inital snap aim then snapping back and forth just to land a sleep knife I dont think he has blatant hacks on all the time but just soft-activates it certain abilties like sleep knife
@@randomcctvcamera8137 nah, sound can only do you so much justice- he correctly snap at him even while he's behind the wall; he could have been on the right side of the wall for all we know, yet his cursor literally snaps to his position exactly, watch it in slow motion
7:21 is fine imo, he heard infernus ult coming so tried to turn around to sleep him im guessing but his sleep wasnt up, then he does a 180 as he dashes before he dies, he didnt even snap onto a body, just turned around, then there's the little snap onto infernus as infernus dies - the game does that naturally when your player dies, the camera follows the player that killed you
i have only watched one other vid of his but from the timestamps you pointed out here, i think they're fine, if you see anything more sus then point it out
@@randomcctvcamera8137 Did you even watch 7:21 at 0.5x speed? You cant tell me that left right aim jiggle to land the sleep knife is natural in the slightest, even if you are a 'pro' My guess is he just turns on an aim assist bot to land an ability then turns it off to appear legit, its genius
This is a misconception of elitist assholes. People who dont blindly follow guides double check what their next upgrdes gives hence hovering over and clicking with mouse. Given enough time you will probably remember exactly what they do, but the game has only been out for a month or so. btw the hotkey is TAB, not ALT.
@@xPureAndTheTaintedx You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Alt and the number works, tab harder to press, but I guess you can use that if you want. Also, WTF is there to double check?
@@xPureAndTheTaintedx I mean, the man implies he's a rank 1 player, even I know what those upgrades do. This reasoning just falls flat. He's just used to tab clicking but it's ineffective compared to alt+number
@@user-jo4nn2fm8e My god man, i literally just told you there was no one there and you're still trying to convince me. The fact that you so confidently call cheats and dont even watch the replay says alot.
@@xPureAndTheTaintedx Look at where he points. Do you see anyone? No. Do you see anyone on the map? No. 1 second later, look at the mini map - someone appears in that exact location
I really like that you put a popup of the items you buy. Makes me have an idea as to what you're going for since I'm still new to the game.
Why does he onyl do it for a few items?
Probably for the main build and the rest are optional@@user-jo4nn2fm8e

Been waiting for you to post a Haze game since your first video. Thanks for the content!
if u started putting the full build at some point in the video, I wouldn't be mad about it :D
You should start adding "Top 0.0000000000000000000000001%" to your titles to really drive it home ;)
As Haze main i would like to add Point Blank to this build, its looks kinda cool

good question, i need answers to this as well!
Bro my haze tank build has been slamming, currently on a 24-2 w/l record
Will rightfully admit it's probably one of the three easiest characters
What’s the build
2:45 well played get down mr president
better job than the secret service
how about viscous with 21k dmg ?
I wanted to see the Shiv game!
Watching others play Deadlock pisses me off. I play against Infernus and the guy BEAMS while watching MikaelS BARELY get touched is tilting me 😂

trying to figure out the "mmr" angle
omg he was ready for his next game even before that one was done this man ques so fast!😂
Mat have been asked by what punish him when he's stunned? I assume theres a mechanic
5:53 didn't put swift striker on screen. earn that paycheck editor
Haze best carry ❤
Can someone explain the reason everyone seams to be using this crosshair?
Does unstoppable cleanse wraith ult?
yes i think so
is he playing stretched res ?
I've never seen haze look more broken
Wym 2ms? Where are u living bro
Volvo has servers in helsinki, finland
Nice game, What sensitivity do you use?
nice game, looks similar to zergg build
Wait mikeal your Turkish?
I always hate watching these videos because it reminds me how bad my movement is
Haze probably needs a nerf in general imo. or like you say, riccochet does.
Not as aimbotty as the vindicta videos, good work
wtf with kelvin damage
Wtf was that dash to block the punch on the minion 🤯
How can you claim rank one, when we havent been able to get any stats since september 2nd...
I think you could’ve played more aggro on lane and maybe punched him when he was asleep

Bro please do a heavy attack off the sleep, as a haze main this is bugging me so bad
Edit- never mind u hit the heavy attacks when they matter
Kelvin is such a cheesy hero
why cant i understand what youre saying : ( ( (
But you are not top1 by Neko score.

true , aint no way this is top 1 gameplay when he was getting rekt on denies like that. this top 0.000001% bullshit is getting outta hands XD
