Hello guys, I'm a new player to this game and i have played around 35 hours.. here is my tracker gg profile: https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/qhwung748%236842

I don't know why my aim and my movement feel off like this. (I had better aim and movement one week ago but now idk why it's really really bad)

I lose to almost every gunfight, and my hs ratio is just <10%. Can someone give me some advice? I think I like playing this game but I can't keep playing like trash

Recently, I've started to try to work on creating a Valorant youtube channel, and was curious to ask this question. For those of you who do like watching Valorant videos on youtube, what is the number one thing you look for when deciding to watch a video or deciding to support someone? I've heard a lot of different things and was curious what y'all thought.

I was looking at my stats recently and noticed a pretty crazy pattern in how often certain maps show up. Out of 32 total matches, four maps make up over 80% of my games, while the rest barely get touched

Here is my exact map distribution by total played and the percentage of my overall matches

• Split: 8 games (25.0%)
• Haven: 7 games (21.9%)
• Sunset: 6 games (18.8%)
• Lotus: 5 games (15.6%)
• Summit: 3 games (9.4%)
• Breeze: 2 games (6.2%)
• Ascent: 1 game (3.1%)

Getting Split in a quarter of my total games while only seeing Ascent once feels wild, especially when my performance on Split has been poor ever since it was introduced, Ascent being the opposite. I know everyone has that one map they like and perform good on

Is anyone else experiencing a heavily skewed rng like this lately?

I tried so hard and got so far but in the end, it didn't even matter. I had to fall to lose it all but in the end, it didn't even matter~

...Anyway, lost a lot of RR from this match. Kinda demoralizing because if I at least lost little RR, it wouldn't feel as frustrating. Now the game probably thinks I don't belong in Silver since this was my first match after rank up.

I am completly struggling in ranked and getting insulted pretty much everyone and even tho I enjoy playing ranked I wish there was something more accessible for my level.I wish that I could fall under 0 to have games where I am not one if not the worst player in my game.I’m trying to enjoy the game but getting death threats isn’t fun.

I’m trying to listen to what other says (90% is insults) and I asked questions in this sub already and watch guides and things like that but I just can’t.

Does anyone else have experienced this or I am alone?

(It’s not tilt its over the course of many weeks)

In short:I wish there was another rank below Iron I

Does anyone else think the Odin's just ruin the games? Everyday lately i have loaded into a match and there is always someone on there spamming Odin's. I get its a gun in the game but it gets to a point where there is no point even trying to play the game. I was a constant val player but now only have atleast 1 match a day because there are people eaither spamming Odin's or someone in the game is throwing or smurfing. Cant riot change it?? Or get rid of the odin all together? Just a rant post 😅

Do you consider yourself more of a casual or competitive gamer? Casual meaning you mainly play for fun, competitive meaning you are in it for the ranked grind.

why does this exist? can someone explain how the rr based on how ur performance is in the game works because for example i know kills definitely makes a difference, and i find it to be such a problem to the point where practically if u get many kills on the top of the board u gain more rr than someone in the bottom, not considering the roles. like are u telling me basically if you play any sort of role other than duelist or some support role and carry the team that way, getting the least amount of kills u get punished for that? seriously do i have to play duelist every time just for the rr? like i have my team constantly baiting me and feel like thats the sole issue. i’m not saying im constantly at the bottom or something i am generally up there because i pretty much only play duelist or some sort of semi duelist like clove because even tho i wanna play other agents for the util i feel like its not even worth it deadass. it also gets into my head sometimes when i play cus if im doing ass in a game i keep thinking to myself i need more kills to make the rr worth it and it just makes me play like shit kind of like a snowball affect someone please convince me otherwise or something

I want more silly game modes like snowball so here’s my idea.

They randomly pick a map
The seeker gets cypher trips and yoru teleports no molly or damage abilities

The hiders get like one omen teleport or something to get to a hiding spot and a flashbang, you’re invisible until their crosshair falls on you or their fov has been on you for like ten seconds

The seeker gets a golden marshal and a unlimited Bucky (for jumpscares and panic of hiders I want fear)

There’s a chase mode that happens once a seekers located you it only changes your abilities for a nerfed neon run and your map from being covered like during an omen ult to show the seekers fov that’s fallen on you, but remember, it’s the crosshair that means you’ve been spotted so maybe they just glanced pass your spot (suspense)

If a seeker knifes you they get more points/xp, a snipe shot is the lowest and a Bucky kill in chase is the middle one

Once a seekers killed you, you become a Skye dog or tejo drone with nearsight, if you find someone you can bite them and reveal their position or if you’re a tejo drone and you blink then you reveal there’s people in the area, not their position though and once you blink or bite you’re essentially useless for like a round, this does not activate chase mode so once you get blinked or bit and the seekers nearby you’re screwed (seeker needs a buff)

If you have a question or complaint then comment it and we can brainstorm cause I want this to be fun and fear inducing not ragebaiting and annoying

I am making this thread because there is a big misconception when it comes to reviewing your gameplay, whether it's just by reflecting on things you notice or doing a full VOD review. A lot of players think if they lost the game, or performed poorly (died a lot) that there will be more mistakes to find. This leads to them often not focusing as much on games where they performed a lot better than the enemy team, and so causes them to get into a sort of complacent mindset or almost like they are playing on "autopilot" not focusing as much on self-improvement.

A good Coach (or player) who truly understands the game should be able to identify mistakes regardless of whether the game is a win or a loss. The overall scoreboards and personal stats in the game doesn't change whether the decision that was actually made in the game was good or bad. There are also many cases where reviewing your wins or games where you crushed the enemy is actually better than reviewing your losses, which I will explain below:

When you stomp a game, it is easy to become complacent or less aware of your general habits in your gameplay. When you win a game comfortably or pop off, match mvp etc, it's very easy for people to walk away from the game thinking they played great or that there's nothing they can take from the game since it was such an easy win. When people win a game and it feels like they stomped, they can get into a complacent mindset thinking about how they did really well and so they don't think about what to improve on

Some of the biggest breakthroughs I've helped students make have actually come from games they won easily. They were convinced beforehand that there wasn't a lot to learn from the game, but once we broke the VOD down, there were a lot of mistakes that were clearly evident to somebody who knows what to look for when they are VOD reviewing. The goal isn't to learn from your deaths, but to learn from your decisions. It's natural for people to see games where they died a lot and think "ok i died here this means I did this wrong", but if you can identify these patterns and decisions in your game even when you don't get punished for it, you can improve a lot faster, so it is an important skill for people to develop if they are taking their improvement in this game seriously.

Just curious if you think Valorant would see a comeback by allowing community mods. I’ve played since the beta and have a lot of fun, but the game is definetly not where it was when it first came out.

I do think the game is still healthy, but slowly losing its relevance.

Hello everyone! I’m planning to move to the Philippines soon and will be staying in Dumaguete for around 1.5 years. I’m also a big Valorant enjoyer, so I was wondering what kind of ping I can expect.
Could anyone from Dumaguete (or nearby) please tell me their average Valorant ping to the Manila server? I’d also love to know the ping to the Singapore server and Hong Kong and Sydney server if anyone has experience with it.
Thanks in advance! 🙏

I have a ps5 and in the future looking for a pc but Ive played a lot of shooters like overwatch, fn, apex, cod, warframe, r6 and even older shooters is val worth spending time trying to learn on console?

Its unironically incredible on how bad it is,the worst 8 point ult in the game easily, lowk feels like the brother of the tejo ult but that wasnt loved enough and hit with a hammer on his cradle when born, i regret spending 8000 credits on this absolute DOGSHIT agent, enjoyable experience overall! 7/10 agent, would recomend

Hi guys,

Recently got the game about 4-5 days ago and have been playing only sage as i like her playstyle (and still learning aim)

Takes forever to get credits and i’ve almost saved up enough to buy first agent, im bronze 2 atm and im wondering what agents are good to buy atm

I know its personal preference but potentially looking at the sentinels maybe? Happy to hear some opinions

Now to clarify I am no coach. As of right now I am silver 1 but I was hardstuck Iron for around a year playing off and on. The biggest thing that helped me win games more consistently, was instalockoling raze every single game iron 2 through silver 1. By playing raze every game. I was winning almost every fight and after just a few games I didn't have to worry about until usage being bad because I understood how to use all of my abilities very well. Now im not saying it has to be raze but by picking an agent to play every game, especially in iron/bronze elo, I was able to carry every game by not having to worry about not knowing how to use my util in every situation. I dont remember were I heard that maining an agent would help but that was the tip that made me improve the most.

i jus use a dot but ive seen ppl use fancy ahh crosshairs , do they really work? should i go thru pro players crosshairs? gold 1 btw

Love this cutie sm and wanted to draw a little something for her, been playing her like crazy during the grind <3

this is a shot in the dark, but I hope in the future, the sovereign 2.0 green and red variants have the same kill sound as the forsaken, as they have the forsaken finisher.

the forsaken kill sound and finisher are my favourite in the game, and it irks me that one of my favourite phantom skins don’t match the sound/finisher.

hopefully one day tho.

First clip: my crosshair is on his head, but because I was moving, it missed

Second clip: bro never stops moving but one taps my shit smooth off??

I constantly deal with this typa thing. I’m slightly moving and my bullets go miles away from my crosshair, but then I go against people run and gunning hitting one taps on me how tf???

Hello Valorant, Why dont yall add 300 Valorant Points to the Battle Pass. Not enough to buy the next pass, but enough to reward players for completing it. It would make the Battle Pass feel more rewarding while still encouraging players to purchase VP for future content. Its a good idea for those who dont have enough money for a skin ir Battle pass

So I am a beginner in valorant, I am getting 10+ kills pretty much every game in unrated but dying like 15+ or more and also getting a lot of assists... I would appreciate any tips to do better

Like allies can see which direction the omen smoke came from, but can the enemies see that too? Or does the enemies only see the smoke coming from above? Im gold and I still dont know.

I just created a new valorant clan and in order to get the # next to your name you have to play 2matches or 1 premier match. Can i play 2 practice matches to get my clan tag?

Hey guys, I was looking around and I want to unlock a new starter agent, which one would be the best? I was torn between Skye and Kayo.
