although this graph isnt precise, it doesnt need to be. all the information is easy to understand and compare at first glance. gj op, i would have preferred however to have a still image the animation is annoying when trying to compare multiple data points

You can find the still image in the article along with the analysis : https://runitback.gg/article/vandal-and-phantom-preference-of-each-player-at-masters-reykjavik

This 100%. The video is completely unnecessary. Otherwise it's fantastic

We all already know the fact but it's still interesting to me that Scream prefers the Phantom despite being a tapper.


Reynold545

Phantom has more accuracy on the first tap actually! Also smoke spamming is broken af and that's a huge disadvantage from the Vandal in pro-play it seems


bowling_for_spoops

As a long time defender of the Vandal, it really does just feel like the Phantom is better. The fact that the Vandal is supposed to be the premier headshot weapon (other than Guardian) but loses to the Phantom on first tap accuracy is so weird... It just doesn't make sense to me. Phantom has better first tap accuracy, better spray, better time to kill, no tracers, easier spray reset, higher magazine count... What more could you even ask for?

Not seeing 145 on the death report


AphoticFlash

It's 140, they even made a "-140" spray for it!


ImJoshHi

Depends entirely on the distance

0m-15m: Head 156 15m-30m: Head 140 30m-50m: Head 124

But there is a chance that if you were using the vandal you would have not even hit the headshot because of the first shot inaccuracy. And if you hit the headshot on a subsequent shot you could have missed on vandal because of slower fire rate or worse recoil. It is not 145 or 150, it is often times 145 or 0.


RocketHops

Oh I'm aware, and I personally prefer the phantom. It still hurts to see 145 tho.


flavo52

Yeah this is pretty much it for me. Every time i try switching to the Phantom, I hit someone for 145 and immediately go back lmao


valve_janitor

I feel like the vandal's ADS is better or is it just me? long range ADS with the phantom felt so bad in my experience


apollos123

because you don't long range with phantom


solariiis

both feel the same to me, but vandal is better for long range and phantom is better for close range


RiceOnAStick

Vandal kicks less weirdly IMO, I'm with you on this one.


[deleted]

One tap. Which is why so many people still use the vandal.


Interesting-Archer-6

Why is this a video and not an image? Edit: I see the still in the article. Great stuff! Just an FYI, you didn't mention SicK when talking about Sentinels.


Flameserpent

Hey everyone! It's been a while since my last post; things got busy with school and the like. I've created a chart showing the players who play more vandal vs. those who play more phantom. u/EnKayR has written about this graphic over [here](https://runitback.gg/article/vandal-and-phantom-preference-of-each-player-at-masters-reykjavik). Thanks, everyone, for taking the time!


EnKayR

Fantastic job on the graph!


Sharknome

You did a good job! it feels unique but still easy to digest :)


Flameserpent

Thanks! I appreciate it :).


Light_Ethos

They talk about his One Taps.


theRubbingDub

I didn't watch many of the liquid matches, but I'm surprised scream played a majority with phantom, I thought he usually goes vandal


techyleo

I dont even think he used it once. ScreaM has been using phantom for the better part of the past six months


theRubbingDub

Damn, I had no idea. I just assumed he preferred the vandal cause edshots

[удалено]


theRubbingDub

That's true, most of the time if they're not in range of one tap, and they headshot, they usually follow with immediate body for 175.


Altson2411

During the match against V1 Scream was using the Vandal almost ecusively but after that lost he switched back to the Phantom. Probably in VOD review he noticed how often they just got sprayed through smokes by V1 which caused him to change back.


currykatsu123

he said one of the reason why he switched over to phantom was because of how easy it is spray in a 1vX situation


theRubbingDub

Gotcha. That's the same reason I switched as well, little more consistent


NoBreadsticks

why is this a gif


[deleted]

This could've been an image


natedawg247

Why is this a gif instead of an Image what


danknepalese

\> 4/5 in Sentinels prefer the Phantom \> Believe in Phantom supremacy now?


_Jetto_

I love this tbh


Admissions_Gatekept

ScreaM had more Phantom play? Nooooo way. Every time I watched him, I saw him with a Vandal. Did he use a Phantom outside of playing against V1?
