CSGO star NAF wants major AWP nerf ahead of 2022 season ValveTeam Liquid player Keith \u2018NAF\u2019 Markovic thinks the AWP needs a major nerf in CSGO that could balance it in time for the 2022 season. The AWP is the most \u201cgo big or go home\u201d weapon a CSGO team can invest in. It deals massive damage but has a glacial firing rate, reload speed, and even slows down the player wielding it. It\u2019s also one of the most expensive weapons to buy at $4750. However, veteran player NAF doesn\u2019t think that\u2019s quite high enough, and wouldn\u2019t mind seeing the price tag bumped up. NAF starts at 1:03 for mobile viewers. In an interview with Pley about what he would change in CSGO, NAF explained why he wouldn\u2019t mind seeing the AWP made more expensive, and therefore even more pivotal for teams. \u201cAs you can see a lot of players at the top, statistically that are the best, a lot of them are AWPers,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, in my opinion, I think they should raise the price of the AWP. I was thinking something around 6K or something like that.\u201d This might not be the end-all, be-all solution to the AWP meta we see at the highest levels of CSGO but NAF thinks it could help shake things up. \u201cAt the end of the day it just seems like the AWPers, if they\u2019re set up correctly and everything, it\u2019s just all them on top,\u201d the Canadian explained. \u201cThe only rifler you\u2019d see up there is probably niko, and the rest are just AWPers.\u201d Not everyone agrees a change in price is needed, however. The top comment on Reddit chalked up NAF\u2019s idea to Team Liquid struggling in the AWP department for the last few years. \u201cWhat years of playing without a competent AWPer does to an mf,\u201d it read, with plenty of users in agreement. Liquid, however, could be on track to change all that, after signing AWPer Joshua \u2018oSee\u2019 Ohm to try and jumpstart the org\u2019s CSGO rebuilding process. If the team can change it\u2019s fortunes with the gun, who knows? NAF could change his opinion on it too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
