The three hosts represent Pacific, Eastern, and whatever timezone Japan is in as Cass patches in from vacation. Shanghai has birthed some very cool storylines, but the patch preview from Riot steals the show. Neon stonks are sliding precipitously upwards, Iso is also looking like less of a total throw to pick, Reyna gets a strange sidegrade, and Raze and Clove get knocked down a peg.

Trouble is brewing at Rito HQ as they attempt to placate the masses who are fuming at the current map pool, lack of a replay system (coming soon since 2020), and the current agent meta. Desperate to curry favor with the playerbase, Riot mixes up the map pool, shows a WIP replay system, and bribes Chase, Cass, and guest Blate45 to shill for their anti-fun Raze satchel nerf (details TBD). After Hunter 1v3 clutches against the rest of the gang, we move on to giving some of the least informed Shanghai takes available, and sprinkle in a healthy dose of bemoaning Riot's pro play structure.

The Riot devs finally took a cue from this podcast and implemented pretty much exactly what we said to nerf Viper. Too bad they didnt listen to the whole episode and they fucked up Cypher at the same time. The moral of the story: listen to DVP.

We craft a compelling case for Riot to hire us as we fix the current agent meta. Dissecting the current kits of all agents who need some love or have had way too much of it, we concoct ways to keep us ranked demons happy while also helping the pro meta. Chase also returns in this episode to defend his honor as a primary smoker, trying to keep a certain upstart Clove main from stealing his primary function on Brim. In my unprofessional opinion, I think we really cooked with some of these ideas.

The legendary Duby returns for the first time since episode 4 to help us look at each of the under-performing agents with an "I can fix her" mentality, leading to the same outcome as when that saying is normally used, which is an "I am making her worse" result. It gets heated in the kitchen as we debate whether we are cooking up some delicious Truffle-based recipes or disgusting Surstomming (the fermented Scandinavian fish).

Turns out, all you duelist mains now playing clove to fill, you still need to play SMOKES. Cass also explains his smoothest brain take on how to use the Bulldog... as someone who never uses the bulldog... nice.

Holy shit. Now we can int and it doesn't even mater? This gives Hunter wayyy too much power. Clove has entered the game and we're gonna talk about it. As well as recap the NA supremacy that happened over in Spain last weekend.

Building team comps and shit like that. Cass takes us on a wild journey though the world of Valorant vs deck building games. At least Hunter and Chase did their homework... right????? Plus what we want to see done to Viper (no, not like that) and we discuss the banana man drama.
