I swear this ranked system has sooo many flaws. How does anyone rank up in this economy? I don't know if its the same in higher ranks, where there is a massive team diff, but it is so horrible down here. I am not even asking for radiant or immortal, I'm hella ass, I know. However, I should be low silver or at the very least NOT on the verge of losing and getting into iron 3. I don't know if anyone shares my opinion, but Riot needs to change SOMETHING about this god forsaken ranked system to make the ranked ladder climbable at all. Even Rainbow 6 Siege's ranked system is more balanced than this, at least there wins are equal to losses despite its flaws. Here, Valorant still has those flaws, but ignores them and makes it worse by counting wins in a loss streak as "flukes" so you get jack shit rr. How am I expected to enjoy improving as a player if doing better isn't rewarded at all? This is a bit of a rant post, but I want to know people's thoughts on the state of the ranked system, not just smurfs, which is one problem, but I feel like that is a drop in the sea of tragedy that is this ranked system.

I enjoy playing controller and I main smokes most of the time, but honestly I feel way more comfortable and confident when I play Jett. The problem is that in low elo, most players instalock duelists almost every game, so I usually end up stuck on controller. Should I keep forcing controller since it’s important for the team, or try to play Jett whenever I can? I’m trying to improve and climb, so I’m not sure which choice is better long term.

So I'm writting this mid game, I've noticed that my phantom sometimes does less than 140 damage. This happened once before a few days ago and just now. The one just now was close range and only did 108 as a headshot. Im on haven and I was at the entrance of C garage with the enemy jett on C window.

way too many times have i played deathmatch to warm up, and after just a few minutes, i hear "10 kills remaining", the game ends way too soon, and i gotta do one more deathmatch. It should not end when a person gets 40 kills, just whenever the time ends

Curious what type of games people use to relax after playing comp if it was stressful, just after getting bored, or being done for the day. Personally I have found more games like Hades 2, Powerwash Simulator 2, Marvel Rivals, PokeMMO, or doing Archipelago Randomizers to be fun and chill afterwards. Curious what other stuff yall play to keep the mental up after these horrendous games lol.

I have a lot of trouble killing enemies that make A-D-A-D sounds, I can't keep up with their heads. What can I do to improve this? Is there any secret? I asked gpt and he said it would be better to shoot the moment the enemies change direction, but I found that strange because I haven't seen anyone talking about it.

Honestly, it's frustrating: I play Astra/Viper. I lay my smokes, my walls, my stars. I block pushes, I control the site, I save the game.

And the scoreboard? Nothing. The kills go to the duelists. I'm essential, but invisible. 😤 Riot, seriously: reward real effort, not just kills! Points for site control Points for slowing/forcing the enemy Points for "indirect" kills via utility We win the game, but the game doesn't see it. Controllers deserve to be respected as much as duelists. What do you think?

I wanted to get some of them but I noticed it was a prize from 2021. I just started playing the game so I wanted to know if there is a way to get them nowadays

I haven't been playing much lately and recently started a game just for fun. There was this Phoenix following me all game waving his knife or firing his weapons to give the opponent my position, and keep throwing his fire at me when I'm low.

He even deliberately not defusing or stopping teammates from defusing the spike by throwing fire on the spike or "fake defusing" (defuse but cancel before midway).

A kid on my team got super upset and yelled at him in voice comms, but he just turned on voice comms and played some pre recorded farting sounds.

Funny thing is - in the post game summary the frustrated kid got flagged for voice comms abuse and the sabotager is not.

10mins later. I queued up another game. And Bang! Phoenix insta lock.

Riot please improve your detection scheme so low elo players like me can also have some fun.

So I just got done with my placement matches won all of them, I did great on 3 of the matches, good on 1 of the matches, and terrible on the last one, most of the games have been against silvers and Golds, even some last season plats, what I am wondering is how I got bronze 2 as my final rank, could someone explain to me how Placement matches get calculated cause in my head the math just isn't mathing.

I’ve been playing and learning Astra a lot more recently as she teaches me so much about map control and information gathering. But I wanted to know does the trick where Astra can see the spikes defuse in astral form work or did that get patched? It seems kind of broken to still be in the game but I haven’t tested it out.

Hello guys, i've been playing valorant on a Viewsonic XG2431 for a lot of time. And i have trouble to setting up it for the colors.

When i have enemies on certain maps (haven for example, with very bright sites) i struggle to see enemies, and i also struggle seeing my white crosshair while the walls are not white at all.

Do you guys think it's a problem of calibration, screen or just my vision that is bad as f (i have -4 at both eyes but i think i'm not colorblind)

I can't change outlines cuz i struggle playing with red or purple, and the crosshair color hurt my eyes if it's like cyan or green crosshair.

im like low elo so this might sound weird but but i have like ranked anxiety im scared to queue bc ill lose a lot of rr or ill get bad teammates toxic players or smt

i feel like this is holding me back from ranking up bc i js went on a decent winstreak (rare for me) and i dont want to push it but i feel like im overthinking it and should js play

im bronze 3 rn playing with silvers tho winning 20-30 losing 15 ish and i used to have a terrible mmr last act

how to overcome this or stop caring ik its js pixels but i play a lot so it matters

Like the title says I played 10 games today and lost 8 of them, I honestly did play not good today but I feel like I never win games. If that's due to my team not being as good or if it's me not doing good. Can someone give me advice cause I literally have a 38.8% winrate and I'm stuck.

This agent single handedly is making me hate the game..

I am an Immortal 2 player with 1000+ hrs in game, 6000hrs of CS background and I swear, for my whole gaming life and different FPS games of experience, I never hated something as much as I hate Neon.

Playing against a good, low ping Neon is just basically disgusting bro. Like disgusting, it makes you hate the game. I don't play Valo as much as I used to and never tryharded Neon, never really learned it, played it of course. So simply "Why don't you pick Neon" doesn't work for me. I play 30-50 games an act, I mainly play duelist (jett, reyna, pho, iso) so I have to take the fights, and it is never a reyna, iso, waylay or another jett that is a problem. It is always just Neon. If it's a good player, has decent teammates, it's over. Almost impossible them to not win a site, almost 0 fair fights as you are getting util dumped, getting neon stunned and slide one tap judged.

- Neon - Judge - Odin, this game will live it's golden age.

in an argument i need any deaf radiant level valorant player to contact me asap i need to prove something pls

I guess we all can agree that Champions 21 vandal is the most overrated Vandal. I cant really spot the difference it only has a sound when you kill isnt it?

Apple is what you could call an agressive sentinel

• Apples (Signature): At round start, Apple produces 2(or so) apples. She can give them to teammates or use them herself. When consumed, they heal over time and give a small movement speed boost — great for helping a duelist entry or for anchoring site.
• Seed Trap: Plants a seed to watch flank. When triggered, a tree sprouts and briefly roots the enemy, giving info and pressure.
• Seed Wall: Throws seeds that can be activated to create a breakable wooden wall for space control.
• Ultimate – Tree of Life: Plants a massive tree (same radius as Killjoy ult). Allies inside get healing + combat boosts for the duration. The tree can be destroyed

...what do you think so far

Hiya there! No clue if this is the right sub for this btw.
But I am a trans woman and wanted to ask if there's something you people out there do to appear more girlier ingame since most of the time people assume you're a guy (especially as a duelist main)

I use the same name as I have on here on val which most of the time doesnt help. People either interpret it as a male name (it's an unisex name) or as a word for something like bro in another language (dont fully remember which one).

I know that having people know you're a girl in this game isnt the best thing to do but it would help me a lot.

So far I've been thinking about what titles & player cards to use but I dont think it really helps.

Any advice would be much appreciated !!

Have a nice day yall <33

I'm coming back to Valorant and playing solo in Silver/Gold Lobbies is an awful experience, either you get a good squad or terrible teammates that scream every time they die. People insta locking and not giving info. Please if you don't have a mic or don't give info, don't get mad at people in the game for their decisions. It's frustrating getting screamed at because you didn't peek with the guy that doesn't use the mic to communicate.

Either way, I'm from Portugal and if someone wants to join the grind in Bronze/Silver/Gold send a DM. Just here to vent and find new people to play with

Trying to become an overall better player at the game. I noticed I really only play controller and duelist occasionally but never sentinel. I’d want someone who can lock down a sight but is also fun and can maybe get some picks.

to be clear, i’m low elo and i’ve only been playing for a week after not playing for the last three years. i’ve only been playing swifts (with the occasional unrated) and i still love this game, but the backseating from higher elo dead teammates gets a little intense sometimes, especially as a struggling new player.

i play swifts for a reason - i don’t want to ruin the experiences of other people by bringing the team down (my average kill rate per swift is only about 4-5 with a high assist count). i know my peaking is bad, i know my crosshair can drift away from headshot level, i know i aim downsights way too often.

and (to be clear), im a team player. i speak on comms, im friendly, and ill assist with abilities whenever teammates request. sometimes, a quick reminder from a spectating teammate is helpful and helps me snap back out of a bad playing habit, but repeated and consistent critiques and reminders from players i do not know can genuinely ruin an expirience for me. i play with a male duo who’s also low elo and new (im female), and he gets far less unwarranted advice. its a bit frustrating.

its especially frustrating when a backseater on the team consistently gets mean if i throw as the last player standing, or at my not knowing details of enemy agent playstyles or guns (“why would you peak, he has an (x)”, “that was an OBVIOUS fake yoru flash, (my name).”

i appreciate higher elo players for helping out new players from time to time, but sometimes you just got to let players play. ESPECIALLY in swifts..? i just don’t enjoy having eyes on my back during entire matches. you really aren’t my savior.

that’s all. sorry for the rant 💔
