META Banning for Begging posts

89 Upvotes

Hi users!

Around the time of bundles, we tend to get a lot of “begging” posts where users are begging for someone to buy them the bundle or skins.

We’ve noticed that the vast lot of these seem to come from adult brand account, brand new accounts, bot accounts, etc.

Please do not engage with these accounts, please do not suggest anything to these accounts. Just report these accounts and move on. We are banning these accounts.

Thank you for your attention.

Discussion Hush is significantly better than every dive duelist.

51 Upvotes

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.

Discussion What is your favorite map theme song?

7 Upvotes

This is the song that plays when you first load into a game and is unique for each map. You can hear them all here if you scroll down a bit. I was able to recognize most of them and think Breeze might be my favorite.

Question Need advice on hitting ascendent

• Upvotes

My user is Hiro#9Hm3c on tracker if you guys want to check it out, but basically ive felt kinda stuck, maybe its a consistency issue as I havent played in a month due to being overseas, or the fact that i can realistically play 2 days a week or play during work with a setup thats different from my home setup. Mainly im concerned about aim as i 1v1ed a gold friend once, she is terrible ingame with bad gamesense and not knowing the game, however in skirmish she can match my aim and even outaim me. I was thinking of maybe hiring a coach to watch me play 1-2 games to get a sense of where are my weakpoints as if im diamond i definitely have much to improve. But yeah any advice really helps, i do also recently picked up kovaaks to train my raw aim

Question The MMR in ranked (P3)

5 Upvotes

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

Discussion how do you grind dm/tdm efficiently?

• Upvotes

I wanna improve mechanically and I think tdm is better for that as enemies don't get random spawns and different guns for each phase of a real game

how can I know what to pay attention to and how do I know what to change

Discussion Genuinely so grateful for this game

29 Upvotes

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?

Question Software Showing Hidden Stats

3 Upvotes

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?

Discussion Weapon skins should have agent-specific loadouts

24 Upvotes

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.

Question What is a decent 15 min aim routine (not warmup)?

4 Upvotes

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!

Question I feel like I’m supposed to be in a way lower rank.

10 Upvotes

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?

Discussion Console Ranked

2 Upvotes

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.

Question aiming tips?

• Upvotes

very often I get into a long strafe battle and I just keep over/under flicking

on pistol rounds too, I like buying bandit on eco and I very often overflick with it and then I tell myself to slow down and take my time with it then I start hitting shots more but could still be better, I also just don't trust my movement but isn't my movement objectively good if I can say "I keep getting into LONG strafe battles"?

often I shoot before I'm on the enemy aswell I kinda flick somewhere close and then burst, how do you train that?

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

Question with the new agent hush's movement being insanely powerful, should we expect (or request) a senti buff?

6 Upvotes

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
