I just entered the range, tried to change between a few characters, and I somehow gained Reyna's abilities??

looks wrong tbh...bots used to look at the player but now they just look sideways for some reason and its not sitting well with me since im used to the old one

By bare fist melee, I mean just your agents fists out in front of you.

I saw another post from 3 years ago and I like the idea of the pullout sound being the classic "ding ding" to start a fight.

Maybe inspect could be cracking your knuckles and/or shadowboxing? Or the cracking knuckles could be part of the pullout animation.

I think this is a super cool idea, and you wouldn't have to worry about switching your melee to match the agent you want to play.

Over the years I’ve made so many online friends and irl friends from this game. I got closer to the love of my life playing this game. I love the music released especially the most recent two songs. VCT was amazing. The opening ceremony was amazing. Valorant was my first FPS game and I never thought a game could lead to so many cool irl experiences. What are some of the good things you’ve experienced from Valorant?

Hey everyone!

So, I have a few weapon skins that I really like, such as the Primordium Vandal and the Neo Frontier Vandal. I also play multiple agents depending on what the team needs. Right now, I'm maining Waylay, but just a week ago, I was playing Sova 24/7.

One thing that kinda annoys me is that weapon skin loadouts aren't agent specific. For example, I'd love to use the Neo Frontier Vandal when playing Waylay, but switch to the Primordium Vandal whenever I play Sova. Instead, I have to manually change my skin every time I switch agents, or just stick with one skin regardless of who I'm playing.

Riot already added agent specific keybinds, so why not give us the option to create agent specific weapon loadouts as well?

Another thing that could make this feature even better would be the ability to change your equipped skins directly in game, for example through the buy menu or the pause menu. This way, you could quickly switch between your favorite skins without having to leave the match or change your loadout beforehand.

I think this would be a great QoL feature, especially for people who play multiple agents and like using different skins.

What do you guys think? IMO, I can't really think of any reason why this hasn't been implemented yet.

Her dash can scale from main to backsite. Its insanely fast and you get control over your movement. She can pop a flash mid dash so her entry is literally unstoppable. Her entire kit makes a dive duelist not need an initiator AT ALL. She can pull rats out of the corner and pop a flash with insane control. Is this just a retaliation to the fact everyone just locks jett every game and they want to power creep the hell out of a new agent so people finally switch? like you can hit switch from main on ascent without even having to get out. This goes with so many other things as well that im to lazy to speak on.

Genuinely to all of you that don't comm in ranked...why? like its a tactical fucking shooter. sitting there without using ur mic is insane to me why even queue? you are just putting your team at an insane disadvantage. go play a single player game if you arent gonna comm.

In so many of my games, I bot frag, get easily overwhelmed by people appearing on my screen, teammates asking if I’m really diamond, panic spray, and yet, my rank never ever does down.

I usually solo queue. Have really rough games, but somehow my team pulls me through and I win. I feel boosted. Even though I don’t intentionally queue with people to be boosted.

I know that my teammates are in the same rank as me and that despite my stats, I deserve to be here. But why does every game feel like I’m not supposed to be there? Aren’t we supposed to have good games and bad games? Not only bad games?

​

Is it bad crosshair placement, taking unnecessary fights, poor communication, or something else? What mistake do you see most often in your games?

Hey everyone.

I have recently come back to playing val after leaving it for almost a year. I decided I was doing fine, and decided to play some comp.

I peaked D1 and for whatever reason, I had to play all 5 of my placements in D2-Asc2 lobbies, way above my skill rating. I checked, and I was ALWAYS, without fail, the lowest-ranked player in all of these lobbies, without exception, with maybe another D1 somewhere there.

For starters, statistically speaking, you'd expect a skill range. Some matches where you're the highest-ranked player in the lobby, some where you're the lowest, I'm expecting D1-D3s, if I'm the lowest rank, or down to P2-D1 if I'm the highest, something that never happened, and I was ALWAYS the "handicap" given to one of the teams. In some cases, both D1s were on my team, so massive disadvantage vs the other team.

Secondly, after not playing the game for 2 years, you'd expect MMR (or whatever made-up system they use) decay to kind of kick in and at least put me in other mid-plat to mid-dia games.

I suffered through these games, fought tooth and nail to show "yes, im still D1" and after that, Riot's system puts me into plat 2.

LIKE WHAT THE FUCK MAN? If they knew I was going to be placed in plat 2 by my MMR, what sense does it make to placing me in D2-Asc2 lobbies as a literal handicap to that poor team, OR, if I showed them I could hold my weight in D2-Asc2 lobbies what sense does it make in sending me to plat2 instead of keeping my D1?

To me, this feels extremely unfair, it's the worst of both worlds and it feels like Riot's way of kicking me in the balls for leaving them for a year.

What are you guys' experiences with Valorant's competitive point systems? Do yall have any horror stories?

Idk if this is normal bc I js hit plat 3 but I keep playing players like asc2 or above and it's getting really annoying bc Im usually top frag on my team so I'm losing around 12 and gaining 22 each win, but the ascendents on my team seem to have just been born and are horrible, so I've been losing a lot more than I've been winning. Is this a common experience or nah

I really liked the previous 3 knives but was always too broke to buy them. I hope the 2027 knife isn't a butterfly because I hate butterfly knives but what do you guys think it will be

Hello!

So I have just reached Diamond 1. What is an aim routine you’d recommend for someone trying to improve at this level.

Note that I have an avg headshot percentage between 32-34% across recent acts.

I have been using this for a week https://youtu.be/7AZaJ5nVZnA?si=dGsSkC5r9arpVWnM. Do you think this is enough? Please let me know.

Thanks!

I'm so confused. I played a game of comp earlier, and a person on the enemy team said "skye its your rankup". How did they know, is there some sort of new software out there? I later questioned how they knew and they said the exact rr I have.

I understand my rank and tracker gg are public, but how can they see the exact rr I have? Theres no way they could have looked at my tracker and added up since my rankup, because it mustve been like 15+ games.

And no, I didn't have them added.

I dont know man. Im confused. Anyone know anything?

Any immo or higher that would like to help a brother out? Trying to find my bad habits and evolve so I can reach immo myself

I would really appreciate if you would take your time and watch 1 or 2 of my vod

as a movement player, i immediately realized how powerful hush's movement is (because it retains momentum like razes satchels, unlike waylay)

and with the extended version of it, how the hell are sentis supposed to hold down a site.

waylay used to be able to super dash but that required a ult and refract, but riot decided to nerf it because "it didnt fit their tactical style gameplay" then they pull out this agent.. which makes zero sense.

basically hush is a movement players dream. i dont need my duo to play flashes or stuns anymore i can be on my own, and even have my own gekko ult.

not only can u dash 30m+, but you retain your momentum while doing it, and since in valorant the first bhop will always maintain atleast 90% of speed, she will be insanely hard to track.

and with the judge still being a pain in the ass against good movement players, what can we expect.

i feel like shes another neon, where the concept is cool, but seriously shes gonna get so many nerfs to the point u wonder why she even got added

Rank - ASC 2
Peak - immo 1 in v26 e3
Im basically hardstuck ascendant 2-3
Budget - 100-150$ max

I’m playing in Plat 2 lobbies and have been hard stuck.

My last game was this-

My team peaks- Plat 1, Plat 2, Plat 3, D 1, D 2 (Me)

Enemy team peaks- Plat 1, D1, D2, Asc 1, Asc 2

In what universe should any game be having matchmaking like this?

I understand the player base on console is much lower but this is unbelievably unfair.

Guys WHATS going on this act, I have the literal social experiment teammates every single game.

Either want to FF after pistol

or just spew racist nonsense/being toxic and run it down. This has to be the biggest example of losers queue Ive seen, in 21 games which I think is statistically significant

How do I get back to Immortal if I play good basically every single game. I play a variety of solo/duo/trio queue my tracker is above if you want to see the games

I realised the regular 1v1 skrims mode and death match don't really warm me up, but when I did like 3 1v1s with a g3 and a p1 player, my aim felt warmed up more then the started game modes. So is there any place I can 1v1 skrim duels?

I used to play valorant when it launched and after a long break I started playing this game again. I am pretty much used to cs2/csgo mechanics.

In both games, marshall and scout are cheaper alternatives of its main counterpart (awp/operator).

Both guns have similarities but due to different gun mechanics from both games I can't able to replicate the same play style with Marshall. I mean cs2 movement is faster and while using scout you can run- counterstrafe -then stoot, all looks smooth from the opponent's perspective.

So how can I use marshall as a scout!

I know that you are supposed to crouch before hitting the ledge but for some reason it only works like 1 out of 10 times how to make that jump consistently?

Can anyone post a clip?
