@errormacro7 I don't think that
@Youphemism was ever DEFINITIVELY saying that Demolition is NOT Sonya's best variation.
He was only ever saying that the logic of "One player did really well with a variation at a tournament", or even SEVERAL players did really well with a variation is flawed logic. In that regard, I completely agree. The right player might be able to take Goro's tools and apply them in a way that wins a tournament. Doesn't mean that Goro is suddenly amazing, just that people didn't have the MU knowledge to get around the tools/tech.
I don't think there is much point in you guys continuing the argument as you both have your views. I can personally say with confidence that I feel Covert Ops is her WORST variation, but after that I don't think that the other 2 have been explored enough but hopefully she's on the map again now thanks to Scar.
It will be interesting to see how things go in the future now that people know they HAVE TO learn the Demo Sonya matchup. Demo is the main Sonya variation I play and I think once people know the matchup, it loses a lot of strength. You can make people hesitant to press buttons, yes. It's a kickass anti-air, yes.
Demolition is love. Demolition is life. Demolition loses steam when players know the matchup. Scar was getting away with murder on some of those reloads lol. No complaints here, I'm glad she was successful.
You guys will definitely continue to differ on your points of BEST variation, but reading through the thread that's not even how the disagreement began. It was actually just
@Youphemism saying that the LOGIC and REASONING previously mentioned about Demo being best just didn't make sense.
That's ALL that was being disagreed with at that point lol. The logic was EXTREMELY flawed, because I agree Korey didn't know the MU. That was EXTREMELY evident. DIFFERENT logic (as was later provided) MIGHT prove that Demolition is UNIVERSALLY her best variation. But all variations have strengths in specific MUs regardless.
I'll see myself out, I just like to check in to the Sonya section and contribute every now and then
