Resource SV LC Viability Rankings

over time, snowshrew can find more opportunities to come in and spin or do damage. that’s the main argument, not that quaxly/snowshrew can win more 1v1s in a vacuum. even if quaxly comes in safely and threatens an rko, it doesn’t do enough damage to punish switches.
I'm not arguing that quaxly can come in more, I'm saying quaxly is irreplaceable on offense structures built around it and that those structures are viable. I think overall shrew and toed are better on more teams which is why i'm not arguing quaxly is better overall or that it should be higher than either of them
