Personally, I was maining Iso before the nerfs and he was seriously broken. Even after the nerfs, all you need is to time the shield for an easy kill.

10:20 the iso is tryong so hard not to onetap the neon while stunned

[BottomIso]

And another thing Reynas ult was buffed like that so you don’t have to run it down but with iso you have to run it down

[Noob]

Iso has a low pick rate in non radiant/immortal queue... only saw him 2 times after the nerfs. I guess the reason is it's too hard to use abilities in a perfect timing so that led to a waste :(

[Megaderpus_Maximus]

My usual Iso counter is to clear his shield with a shotgun and get to cover, letting my team deal with them and I could stay back and clear orbs if they were to fail. I would also buy bulldog because the burst deals with the shield and kills in the same trigger pull. But, there is always SPAM.

Hey Konpeki, I was wondering if Omen or Clove would fit my aggressive Jett play style more? I’m currently looking to switch from duelist to controller.

ISO needs to be reverted back to his Pre-8.11 state. The shield, while strong, only lasts for 12 seconds and you have no chance of getting it back. There goes the entire point of your agent.

No one plays ISO for the vulnerable or the wall, they only play ISO for the shield and the ULT. This new shield forces ISO to run it down out of necessity, otherwise you lose the one good thing about his kit.

ISO is worse than before 8.11, and it feels so incredibly constricting to play as him.

[Hi-Yanto]

Also one thing they removed if I remember correctly, Iso ult no longer gives free double tap(without the shield) so it's either you get the dub for the shield orb or not

[Deshawnb]

I’m just tired of feeling like my entire team has to take one specific agent more seriously than the rest

[sumeragi]

I just like how I can peek with an advantage that shield mostly gives me time to adjust my shots because of one bullet getting absorbed...

[shreyaanshkumar]

Been locking iso ever since the buff, if the season didn't reset i wudve ranked up to gold, now feels like smurfing in bronze (riot ranking system op)

[indecisions]

The judge example is completly wrong, you're dead even with the shield. If you look at your video example with the raze, the raze has to be silver or gold to not get the kill here. Def no realistic compared to what we experienced in ranked at a certain elo.

10:05, nu-hu as a cypher main i can terll you that you will get no value out of your trips as iso will wall shield before entry making himself unspammable (but i recon the 5 chip damage of a tripwire could break his shield)

[Youjvwhw]

I've been on vacation since before iso buffs lol hope when I get back the game isn't completely differnet

[TheBigSquidAZ]

You should bet able to activate his ult while his shield is active that is over powered

[Noodliest]

I hope Iso is the last shield champion lmao. Having a get out of headshot free ability is really lame. Blackbeard was stupid in Siege, Iso is stupid in Valorant. Agent bans would be nice soon too.

As an Iso player since he came out, I have to say a few things.. It's reallyy hardd to flank the enemies now that you actually hear the shield when you equip it. Back when you first would've need a kill and there was no sound, I used it as an element of surprise, but now... If I flank on Ascent People from Sunset will hear me..
The Buff was goatedd. I already knew how to use Iso before it, so you put up shield > get 2 kills boom > shield recaharged, yes some players may use it again cuz of long shield window. But I kept it safe as a last fail safe. Yes they could hear me equip it, but would they expect me to swing straight after?? After the nerf I use his shield as more of a ''timing'' ability, meaning, when we are about to flood the site. Orrr I just use the shield as a fake, I activate it on heaven > then i sneak in elbow, tree, short etcc. You can take this massage as ''I'm new to Iso what is a playstyle I can do?'' type thing. Or however you want. But i thought maybe should give my POV as an Iso main. Shout out to anyone still reading thiss <3

2:10 - The exact thing happened to me on Icebox...

[Eclipse-Horizon]

Iso went to a 52% win rate because of me, you're wrong
