hot takes
what are your hot takes?

If you lock reyna, you need to frag out
Reyna is the only agent in the entire game that I would be pissed at for bottom fragging. If you're another other agent (including duelists), i wouldn't give a shit since your util is still helping out the team.

New agent idea
How about an agent whose passive ability is generating more money?

Is there a rank before you'd recommend playing astra?
I've tried playing astra a few times. When I was in silver I tried and it didn't work out, so I tried again in gold and I still struggle to play her.

There needs to be a much more harsh penalty for people who grief in competitive.

Why Reyna's Leer is the best non-ultimate ability in the game, and how to use it
**EDIT:** People are commenting without reading my post. Addressing the more common comments: I am **NOT** saying that Reyna is OP. I am fully aware that she is a liability if her aim isn't on point, as well as the fact that she has no util...
