Why do people bring a mute for wall denial? Question

It seems kind of odd to me, his jammers don’t cover the entire wall and they don’t destroy the breaching device.

Yeah exactly. At high level you need smoke or mute for the rotates and foot holes etc, you save impacts for tricking. So a guy with a shotgun is pretty essential, frost filled that gap but her pick rates tanked since losing the 1.5.

Tachanka is very viable now he has a shield along with his destructive mg although he's always outpicked by smoke simply because he's a 1 speed

Yeah he’s definitely a smoke replacement, and that’s obviously why they changed his rotate making ability. Because that’s a big bonus for smoke it makes sense for him to have it too.
