You can still be good against full qr or dm up even when using non meta weapons and gears, on ranked i main sploosh o matic with quick jump ability and manage to win.

Look, this is my main setup and thanks to some og strat from a main roller back in 2016, i can be relevant both on very close 1vs1 with fast movement or support via beacons.

Also i love this drip, it's not meta by today standards sure however having fun and actually playing the game are way more important than having perfect gears. En bref, do whatever you like and train yourself.
