What is Curve Shot?
Curve Shot bends the shuttle. It is epic in the catalog. The Season 5 meta table ranks it C because defenders learn the arc. Play guides and a patch note still treat the curve, including a change to the first shot, as a real scoring tool in 1v1 and 2v2. Both can be true: it wins until the opponent has seen it, then it becomes a read. It is less useful in 3v3, where more players cover the bend.
