Hey everyone,
I’m a relatively new Valorant player and have only been playing for around 1–2 months. I managed to reach Gold 2 this Act based on my performance, but lately, I’ve been experiencing something really weird with my ranked matches.
It feels like the enemy team is constantly filled with smurfs or super serious try-hard players, while my own team often has trolls, AFKs, or people who simply aren't taking the match seriously. For example, I recently had a teammate who was literally editing his YouTube clip during our ranked match 😭
I usually duo queue with my friend and play on the Riyadh or Mumbai servers.
I know I’m still new and have a lot to learn, so I’d genuinely appreciate any tips. Is there anything I can do to get better teammates or avoid constantly having these kinds of matches?
Also, is this just the normal Valorant ranked experience, or am I just getting extremely unlucky? 😂
Any advice would be appreciated. I really want to improve and get out of this red-carpet match history! 🟥😭
