Gritomaimagine thinking untested weapons should be initially tested in live esea matches
same people who thought testing the unfinished cardinal was esea's job
They tested them right before. Bonk has a slow effect when you're hit with it. With the solemn vow, you're not really looking at the enemy med if you're not already exchanging or on mid or pushing anyways, and your team should be calling damage anyways. So unless your med is a tard and is going to peak choke for info, it isn't that impactful.
I did think the soda popper needed more testing from what I saw in the stream. However, I didn't actually play. It does take 350 damage to charge, and only having two shots could hurt your 1v1s.
Also, notice how the only people wanting to ban solemn vow and bonk are the people who didn't playtest them and instead are theorycrafting?
