[Music] why why Riot why did you buff ISO this much what's wrong with you guys look what you've done with iso's recent Mega buff patch 8.11 has spawned an agent more broken than pre Nerf Astra and chamber combined this overtuned aim lab addict has everyone begging Riot to change him back as he simply unkillable DSG are the first team to bust him out in professional valerant and is so took over with a dominating 22 and 10 statline this man was indestructible winning round after round after round for his team I hate to break it to you folks but if ISO goes unchecked this agent will be the death of [Music] valerant God what was Riot thinking ISO is overtuned right now being able to pop his double tap Shield at the Press of a button this bubble absorbs one instance of damage no matter where it's coming from that could be a Bucky Vandal op or even a rocket launcher so because you're able to activate this whenever you please this ability essentially turns them into a tank for your team now in valerant gunfights are usually 50/50 yes things like movement utility and positioning can turn that to one side's favor but as soon as ISO activates his double tap any duel is immediately stacked in his favor it simply just takes more bullets to kill him no matter what weapon you're using and if he has a vandal he only has to land one shot now do you see how this could be a problem in in professional play where these guys don't miss he wins his first duel his shield refreshes he wins his second duel The Shield refreshes third duel refreshes and this cycle just continues until he's killed everyone and on top of all that if he gets two kills and starts losing his third duel he has another shield in his pocket ready to go now I have a couple solid counters and Solutions on how to fix this agent while still making him viable but for now let's break down dsg's game plan revolving around this overpowered purple monster on piss around their plan is to have kill Dre goes zero utility drop ISO a sheriff and he's going to go one undercut one contingency and half armor WoW did you think duels res skewed in his favor before well with this pistol by there is nothing stopping this agent ISO opens the round by sending his right shield down B main this allows him to pop his double tap protecting it from getting spammed and the rest of his team to follow through jet dashes closing the Gap to Yellow ISO rejoins Vera at his hip and both go hunting for kills Zooms in already of here oh my God that's that ISO Shield coming in baby Shield they've been so fast Shi baby second going down never mind sh next they're actually holding before these fights SOA darted snowman allowing the two Duelists to focus primarily on Mid sight as ISO vulnerable sandwich both teams traded evenly on sight but I think kre whiffed on jet whose plan was to hide in spawn and swing off her turret punishing a flank but I mean she only has a classic DSG down two to three thanks to K flashes protecting the side anchors alongside dizzy but just because ISO his bubbles been popped his double tap is still active he can get another do you see oh my God Shield is up now he has to go aggressive but it's from underneath him andash to shut it down onto styren s now had ISO calm down at the end of last round and not try to scramble and pinch kildy I think would have been able to isolate his ones and Destroy these puny pistols I mean he had his second double tap ready to go but I get it when your Shield is up ISO players feel and on the RICO dsg's plan is to give ISO a sheriff and hope for the best which honestly isn't that bad of a plan his bubble grants him a 50/50 shot to get a kill grab a guardian and snowball out of control on a round that they should have no chance in winning and something for the aite I think this might be to here oh my God the iso Shield is buying so much time a 2250 credit weapon or a free signature seems balanced to me against a refresh Shield nxg have retreated back to sight and Mojo is juggling the Fallen Guardian not wanting it to fall in iso's hands and with no other map control DSG are trying to pound it into a the attacker scale up and around pipes KO is trying to beat them back with his Guardian but has to fall back to his gecko or risk dropping another rifle but don't worry with K securing this half of the map reinforcements are here to see how they take Thisick downwards is good two low wall is up so they can secure it safely in the meim rumble finds shot that had to be on Wayne double kill with the classic I don't know how he found don't die second one is good for one so the O are against left with the Bulldog oh but the swing there but denied the chance and ju's low HP as well he's not careful we haven't talked about him yet but he's pretty dang Gecko and KO were both chipped pretty low after the first fights when hit a gross head shot onto ax and syy got overwhelmed but let's rewind real quick take a look at nxg anti ecoy we see three Guardians and an outlaw why are we buying these One Tap machines against a shield that tanks one instance of damage these guns essentially give ISO a bigger Health pool the weapons like specters and Stingers are way better against this guy as he gets melted and you don't have to worry about tapping and resetting your recoil allowing him to kill you that's what lost the defense this round that they statistically should dominate now that's not the exact solution I have to the iso problem I have something better but isn't this ability fun shut up [Applause] against nxg save farmer ISO tended to his EOS DSG obliterated any Defenders who tried to push up or take cly fights but they made sure to toss the spike to ISO putting him one off his kill contract then he swapped rifles with Viper so ISO could run around and find a kill without risking of it which he did he's dead he's dead I feel like there some personal beef now it's nxg first hob by and they have to face one of the strongest SS in the game their plan is the same as previous kill J and Viper lock down mid and B while these three try and fight up on a and DSG are running it down the barrier drops and SAA immediately pops his Dart and activates his ald drone the Recon gets snapped jet gets spotted on pipes and ISO raises his shield you can call it theion wait watch The One V one oh he took nice how are you meant to counter this thing in iso's domain he already has the upper hand with these two Shields as both of you respond he naturally has more options to reposition into than his opponent what but with his buff he now can activate his armor he should never lose with this many advantages me here ISO yink the only agent who can safely contest this scaling nxg comp is built to take fights especially into aain with all these flashes but without jet who are Gecko and KO going to flash for now with the Enemy dualist out of the picture the rest of DSG were able to storm the site and overwhelm these two initiators but wait it gets worse for some reason when ISO wins the gulag he gets an Al Point towards his next kill contract he then grabbed an orb DSG planted up to top site and these two stood zero chance here all the trying to delay matter of time there's the first second's not there nxg reforced onto another e oh ISO dinner time the defense mostly bought sheriffs which like I mentioned earlier is a bad idea DSG kept the rifles grouped up on a and ISO just held down his W key he didn't even bother to check top screen splash tried to punish but all he did was tap ISO on the shoulder giving away his position he then pushed spawn and dominated the remaining pistols if you're facing an ISO you're going to want to buy a stinger on your saves plain and simple this SMG still melts people especially while you're moving so even if you think you have good aim don't even try it you just don't stand a chance with any other weapon on your Ricos but after that blood bath DSG are changing up the tempo their headed be this time but there's a pattern here through the chaos every time there's been pistols on the Bo DSG have laid their wall out on B but haven't used it that's the thing with Viper you don't have to because if placed properly her smokes cre question marks that the defense have to respect every time they go up anchoring The Defenders now against the full bu they head on a for a little extra Firepower to take sight so this round they're going to play slow and finally use this wall while making it look like every round so far styron Recon belt Dodges nxg zero point moves back up and drones in the minds of the defense everything looks the same so far he finds a tag and rips his Hunter Fury he's trying to sell that DSG are headed up a again but Viper's a little suspicious the shield and they have something that's similar to ISO where they are posted up on towards ankles that's pick first yeah uh Viper that one's on you the one weakness of iso double tap is that you can hear it really well when he activates it so when this wall goes up and you hear this you shouldn't be fighting in front of the wall especially when you have a setup to try and delay in this area just let the armor expire now I think that this ISO issue could be countered real easy if nxg just teates leave Viper alone and at least she got hers Jimmy that kill has put ISO one off his kill contract and he has it with the full shield DSG Barrel through b Main and KO has fallen off a to come support killjoy it doesn't look like it but with his positioning iso's kill contract has turned this round into a coin flip either KO gets grabbed and it's still winable you and or K's kidnapped and nxg lose if goes to the shadow realm her Bots instantly go offline allowing Wayne to walk up mid and into kitchen securing the round also this would eliminate kill's ultimate ISO backs down as their toxic screen Falls then to be Main and at this point nxg or star for info they need to have rotates in the right place at the right time this ult will ruin this 22 setup Mojo has no other option but to release thrash through aain spotting nothing and at the same time koale his knife be remain and his spotted a Recon fly to snowman is something they've seen on every previous be hit so he rips his no command and lobs Amali to buy time for rotates and DSG have no choice but to wait this bot time has allowed Mojo to stack up on snowman but it doesn't matter as soon as grumo mana recharges and the wall goes back up all of nxg get an amber alert on their phone now while nxg tried to beack this overpowered ker let me tell you about my patreon wa oh my God over on my page I've created Duos playbooks that you and your buddies can use to rank up with imp these are based on the same games I break down every day here are the ones we have so far but as of this video going live I'm just days away from releasing my ISO SOA Lotus Playbook they're shooting him but he has a shield it is nuts considering how strong ISO is right now unranked I also walk you through each individual Strat and tell you precisely what to do with each piece of utility it's like I'm coaching you during your games The Shield oh his teammate just goes down and sron cleans I also post exclusive breakdowns tier lists Q&A videos give you access to private Discord channel so talk directly to me and so much more so if you've ever wanted to see more of my content that I don't post to YouTube or rank up while looking like a badass with your buddy check out my patreon link in the description nxg take a timeout to figure out how to deal with this raid boss uh has anyone seen coach nxg forced onto another Eco and it's obvious that their one main win condition would be getting Jets Bladestorm online with sheriffs they have about a 0% chance of winning but with a Bladestorm 10% iso's busted to counter this orb grab ISO immediately undercuts jet up drafts and silver Ricochet a shock Dart that misses but who cares the defense are toast really I think they would just seems really strong open up the round here is going to come out and the it's just look at that look they can't hurt him they can't hurt him just double entries man it's either Vera or juicy coming into one angle but that was just the ego the adjustments that both teams made during the timeout come into effect now since everyone has rifles DSG have elected to play way far back and let the defense show their hand and go from there and what have nxg Chang changed nothing all right this might sound Troll and you guys will definitely tell me in the comments you love doing that but I'm confident that the way to take down this tank is to use the Odin think about it let kill spot be and mid and have viper move around the map wherever ISO is spotted do you hear the shield on a go get him Viper are they trying to plant B snake bite and run up and rip that thing as long as one of the 300 bullets hits ISO he just becomes a normal dude spam the lurk wall the plant as they're scaling belts or through this screen as they're coming in just make sure that you're always spamming if you're playing against an ISO he doesn't have a dash or teleport he has to eventually come through these choke points and I guess that means the Phantom is meta now huh so let's see if nxg figure it out this run starts with a zero point in Mosh Pit to keep the offense pinned behind this line and they can set up in aggressive positions after waiting for a bit DSG are confident that this is what nxg plan was in order to reclear SOA sens is drone out from below belt acknowledge how these two teams play right next to traditionally one of these very heavy teams but combined with the info gathered from s's drone ISO can land his undercuts 100% of the time he swung belt with the Drone finding one takes another dual with jet she's not confident vs again and leads the charge forward with his riot shield but wait uh guys on the Block he's got the freshest JS all Trigger Discipline way Trigger Discipline might be so good there's the first finds the second as well top fight is one did I is so I know you're but let's clear our corners please but he now has a recharge double tap if he finds killjoy he can activate his kill contract and finish the job did I just see this stay in the corner let's see if you can try and make it back here's the shot come out to zip oh juicy he's reposition he's repositioned so so well but if he doesn't he see timing it's going to be bad so imp whoopsie dude is going up here exposed to all these angles really the play what were you thinking iso's ult might as well be an automatic free sight when you're on attack uh the next round DSG just ran up a grabbed a guy he won his Duel of course and this created so much pressure that they used their lock down this deep into a but KO resisted and delayed by popping his no command when he's down he could act like a jumbo Cipher Cam and give away dsg's positions job's not finished somehow manages to find two his ultimate now online short pleas please please please guys guys what are we doing thank you rest of his team trying to bring this back here mind now nxg have to Eco again but this time there's a secret counter to ISO that I haven't revealed yet Timmy DSG are headed be right into killjoy which is iso's Kryptonite her turret and Nanos are toxic to the touch as they both disintegrate ISO shield with just one damage so the offense have better weapons but they can't get too cocky and extr in the same setup but that gets broken up as these two hear a stampede plowing behind iso's wall the attacker scale up Soo pops his drone and Timmy Powers up the offense turn their attention toward sight and if you listen closely he did it Timmy got a couple shots off popping iso's bubble the one broken Advantage DSG have had all game is finally gone and Viper's Molly poison or combo stall long enough for rotates to be here the defense have an opening it's such a hey stop watching porn stop fantasizing women on the internet and go you know get a job steud app spammed out the wall through the smoke man oh my god did we not tra for it trades went down and K got for getting to an can DSG recover they might have found it a little bit into their thank you every time I say it they they provve me wrong why do I why do I ISO kind of went quiet the last two rounds and nxg tried to come up with some creative counters like buying an OP which seems incredibly troll until you take a closer look gecko was tucked in nest with a sniper and KO was holding belt throughout this game ISO has consistently this way so I think their plan was to have Koo pop iso's armor gecko un Peaks and takes a shot but what actually happened was KO broke the Drone and gecko just oped ISO twice he probably whiffed DSG eventually took sight but styn ended up in a one versus two and clutched up by finding a small timing to separate the remaining Defenders as if the plant didn't already oh no no no he's nice he finds the first hang to find that second one he has the dart for this as well oh my what a by the way this dude is nuts look what he did on the last round of the half scenario he's being surrounded second kill is there he has to find the third styron he's already on four this would have to be the ace clutch for it he go for [Music] it all right nxg new half ISO can't hurt what the why does Viper have a sheriff DSG have a plan revolving around ISO again in their pistol Strat they've managed to turn a main into the three circles of hell in circle one ISO and Sila are both lined up to combo a shock Dart and undercut in this Lane to deal massive damage Circle 2 has a big ass green wall lining the entrance to sight that deals an instant 30 DEC damage when touched and Circle 3 is a double Nano kill setup with her turret behind Jenny to deal even more chip damage so by the time the attackers make their way on sight these pistols are going to Feast now I don't know if DSG have some form of anti strad or they're just trusting their gut because the only thing holding mid is you kill Joy by yourself and on B you got a single Sheriff but their guts are right and XG headed right for this meat grinder the round opens up with the shock darkart combo landing on auk's head instantly putting him at 40 HP nxg choose to continue and scale behind their wall knife and dizzy she gets picked up now because nothing's pressured mid or be at the defense know it's a besides that there's not too many options to set him up for a fight here juicy your legs are showing your legs juy they take the lead in terms of fights here o good flash Dodge was that the flash DOD that was so fast the defense had for here and didn't choose to fight on sight with all of this you had your Shield where's your confidence all ISO did was oneway himself and if you look closely the Nano separated the offense this setup would have worked maybe DSG wanted to spam through the wall with this Dart despite all these countermeasures Splash stayed alive long enough for his teammates to rejoin him and beat back dsg's flood three versus two Viper gets traded and jets arrived against two low HPS can the sheriff close out but this is still very doable for Vera he has to just find body shots he might be able to do this ver still on 62 HP so he might be able to escape that one tap on the body with the sheriff it is Vera oh and you might have found the timing there's the first second not there DSG got rolled on the RICO but nxg played it well they pulled out one of the strongest counters to this newly buffed duelist the round started with a bul of the offense moving up a main but as soon as they heard ISO POA Shield nxt's igl came up with a brilliant plan I have an idea really what is it let's leave just like jet ISO signature doesn't last forever if you hear it leave don't do what Viper did in that one round so nxg just went B and farmed now in their first full by DSG have tweaked their setup Jets getting aggressive on b instead of a and are still comboing their shock and vul again which has conditioned the offense in their 113 default the a players scale up and over belt meaning if DSG wanted to fight into a main they'd only have to worry about this one path and not these other two simplifying their duels that's the thing about ice box it's about various elevated fights and you want to overwhelm the opposition with a bunch of different positions to worry about if everyone just fights through one area you're making your enemy's job easy so while this scary combo has deterred nxg from coming through this Lane the Jet's on B now after the zero point and lurk wall drops nxg have safely made it up to pipes and their Viper into tube and with kild Dre making sure the defense aren't pushed up B NX G's mid- round call is to have viper push a bit further snap dsg's turret and regroup a hoping this pressure would drag over rotates but this won't work Viper moved up and broken Timmy but from this position kill can still watch kitchen and pallet while alarm bot has under tube and Jet solo holding B with not enough sufficient pressure made across the map ISO and his friends pick a spot to swing off of him and brace for impact nice one single bit of sound and this is going to be an absolute C coffing coming there it is there it is there's the execute as well everything goes out got time my God he gets three way he's so powerful on top of that position ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch he's been the guy to clutch it out for ver wait for ver multiple times in this exact Series so now left in the 1 V2 very doable still he just has to find out where the players are there's the first oh he might have figured out where this second position and he finds the kill as well and he's he's already dead Wayne you did this before man leave him alone leave him no other agent in the game can do what ISO just did he popped his shield as kale suppressor was activating took down jet refreshed his shield and if you look at his HP bar that one instance of damage was all he needed to land this nasty spray transfer he just 1v3 while his team hid back site imagine if he had help I know that by the time this video comes out Isa will already have received his first NERF but is that enough who knows I miss his pre-buff kit he wasn't bad I broke that down in this video here
