Rock paper scissors thread

I was rejected by Circus Maximus because of asinine reasons such as "rock paper scissors can't be played asynchronously" and "you're a dumbass". As such, I will be taking my RPS talents to Smogoff, while also serving as a thread for similar RPSheads.

If anyone wants to play, I'll be here. I'll go first: rock!
 
I have some samples:

1. Rock Paper Scissors
A classic squad, but we can do better....

2. Volcano
Very difficult to beat, might need to ban to Ubers.

3. Universe
This one should get banned, idk how it got past council

4. Paper Paper Paper
Pretty weak team, auto loses to scissors if there is team preview

5. scissors paper rock
Goated team, 10/10
 
I have seen atomic bomb on the rise although sometimes it can just be a 50/50 scenario, but it is definitely scary once certain pieces are removed.

Bulletproof Glass and Metal Pipe both invalidate gun, so it is like a C tier pick IMO.

Gun does do good sometimes but for me atomic bomb feels better most of the time.

This is super fair!

One strategy that I haven't used much yet but theorize to be good is weaponspam. Curious if you have any thoughts on that archetype

Weaponspam is probably the strongest archetype tbh. Atomic Bomb, Grenade, minigun, and so many more broken team members fall into this category.

I'd say Water, Volcano, Universe (elements) can be kind of troublesome though

Personally I am a snake main myself. Sometimes I do shift to water, it synergizes beautifully with snake. I'm unsure of who else to add though.

the trick is to choose the option that beats your opponent. for example, if your opponent chooses "rock", you should choose "paper"

“A person who thinks all the time, has nothing to think about except thoughts”

so yeah I just stumbled across this thread tonight and wanted to mention that scissors is super overpowered in the meta right now; last month alone it achieved a collective usage-win rate ratio of 33.33% and now we’re seeing all of the paper mains start playing rock
