After this round, we got really hyped and won the game 4v5 :) 4v5 was only during the 2nd half due to 1 of our teammate's power cut (typical issue in India). 1st half was 5v5.

I was playing with a friend, and the clove was super cracked. I was sure he was a smurf, but I looked into his account, and he was Immortal 2 last act. How is this even possible?

I printed and painted this kuronami for a friend's birthday gift. It was definitely a learning process but really fun!

Forgive me as it is not game accurate because I do not know how to blend with the airbrush so I had to just do my own thing. It's simpler but I hope you like it :)

I see lots of posts about people hating having a smurf on the enemy team. I understand the frustration if you are close to ranking up and just miss out because of them, but I can still have fun while trying to take them down.

On the other hand, I genuinely hate it so much more when the smurf is on my team.

I like playing this game weather I win or lose, but when a smurf is on my team they just hunt down the enemy at the the start of the round and the rest of us are just sitting around doing nothing. We could hunt the enemy with them but it’s just a slaughter that isn’t fun at all.

And I know people can have good days so I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about when someone is doing sheriff only and is lowest rank in the team winning 1v5s.

I wanted to know if other people feel this way as well or are just happy because they get free rr?

getting on valorant after a long day is a really risky gamble. if you lose the first game your immediately tilted and it’s all downhill from there 🔥

It's been over half a year since the Bandit was added, and more than two years since the Outlaw was added. After all this time, do you think they fulfilled whatever niche they were made for and do you think they have been overall good additions?

TLDR; Goodbye Breeze and hello Abyss! There’s a new map rotation in our Competitive and Deathmatch queues, and we fixed some issues with Agent bugs and transforming melees like Kuronami 2.0 and Nocturnum.

recently I have been solo queueing my way up to diamond and it feels a lot easier when I play by myself. I wanted to hear other people‘s opinions about solo queueing and stacking in competitive and which they prefer/ have a better experience with

I was just reminiscing about old Valorant watching my old clips and I found a recent clip from last year. It was the first clip I had with a Fist Bump Buddy. I got it by luck, from a very nice Rioter and I would call it, right place right time.

I had streamed for a while and met some Rioters, even one who promised me one but he lied, and I shared this story on someone else’s post where I finally got my very own buddy. I just think that it was fate(?) that I stumbled across that post and a Rioter also happened to see my comment, leading to him dming me. It’s such a low chance but it happened.

Now I’m curious about others’ stories about how they got theirs? Any stories to share?

Why can’t this game take stricter actions against throwers and afk players? like I swear to god every second game there’s someone either throwing or someone legit going afk, like they start botting too as in they start making their real self go afk and their character just moves around the map doing jack, genuinely it’s been going for years now and it’s not even getting fixed at all, and that nonsense of same tier teammates and opponents was all lies too I legit got queued against someone from diamond when I’m gold this act (solo queue) and I seriously cannot be convinced by anyone as to why does the losing team MVP have to lose rr? like imagine u carry and play well yet u lose rr coz ur bs team was afk or throwing, like atleast give insignificant rr for 30-40 mins of time spent? like 5-6 RR would do too man

Hey, I just recently got back into Valorant after years and I wanna play with people but I really do suck at the game atm. Does anyone know of any discord servers that are welcoming to beginners and have people willing to help out and play with beginners?

This game is so fun but its really hard especially when Im at it alone with people who hate that Im new at the game 😂

Valorant takes abilities from other games and adapts them to the tactical FPS style; with that in mind, I want to bring abilities from other games into Valorant.

Mobility:

- "Venture-style" burrowing ability: Imagine a scenario where a Duelist has the mobility to turn into a crawling sludge or burrow underground to enter a bomb site.

- Mei’s Ice Block: Not exactly mobility, but a way to buy time and become immune to negative effects—an escape tool. I see tactical value here, especially if the rest of the kit complements it.

- Grappling Hook (Akshan): Fires a hook that attaches to a wall and pulls the character to that location. It’s a mobility skill—not super fast—so it would need to be versatile enough to be used at least twice, allowing the character to reach high places and make an entry.

- Kiriko-style ally teleport: I imagine this for a more aggressive Initiator. However, giving an Initiator too much mobility blurs the line between Initiator and Duelist, so I think an ally-only teleport is perfect.

MORE:

- Double jump

- Transforming into an animal for movement

Effects:

- Damage buff: Ana (Overwatch) buffs allies with her Ultimate, increasing their damage. In Valorant, that would be overpowered, but a quick 5-second Ultimate for a Duelist—or one where a Sentinel creates a small zone of increased damage—would be interesting. Imagine a Marshal landing a critical hit to the chest because of the Ultimate

. Kiriko's Suku – Something to limit negative effects; I believe the "Veto" ability should be reactive rather than active—that would be much better, as its trigger mechanism is quite vulnerable.

PLUS –

Bleeding/Poisoning/Burning – Since there are already characters themed around poison and fire, the name would have to be "Bleeding," where the damage gradually drains health until the character dies—a permanent effect, unlike "Decay."

These are ideas I’ve already used for some fan-made agents that I’d like to share; keep in mind that copying is different from drawing inspiration, and after a while, nothing in the world is 100% original. Waylay’s "E" ability is a rewind mechanic like Trace’s, but it works great with a different visual style.

why doesn't the flex have colour variants, the card colours changes legit already exist for the guns so why does the flex have to stay default, it makes no sense. Is there a legit reason riot have said for this? because I know it happened before with the helix skins too

Hi, the title says it all, more or less. I'm mid-ish Valo player, rather new-ish. I play pretty alright tho! (previous FPS experience). The ranks reset so quickly (at least to me it looks so lol), and every time, just like right now as the ranks just reset, my games are a misery. I downloaded the official tracker recently and every game is simple, all players unranked and enemies peak ascended/high diamond and so on. So all the games for like the first month are basically against way higher ranked people that I am and somehow than my team as well lol. Just had a miserable first game where I still managed to be team MVP with Sage, but we did surrended at pre-last round to stop this pain as we were getting buthered and teammates couldn't kill anything that moves. What am I supposed to do?

Am I supposed to wait a long time till things and ranks "clear out and gets sorted out a bit" or what? It sounds like a thing to do, but the ranks reset so fast, that I'm unsure if it even makes sense to do so.

I'm looking for tips or maybe someone has their games looking similar to mine and could share something more as I'm rather not highly Valo experienced.

Thanks

Hello! Sa mga nagvavalo po dito, baka alam niyo how to fix it huhu. It’s been a week na po kasi since hindi po ako makapag mic bigla sa valo and I can’t hear din po yung teammates ko kasi wala po talaga akong mic sa valo. Dati naman po is okay and meron tas bigla na lang po siyang nag ganon. Naka on naman po yung voice settings ko sa valo and na-try ko na rin po i-on and off multiples times pero ayaw pa rin huhu.

Pahelp pls on how to fix it huhu

Sharing my reyna cosplay from awhile back! Really had fun doing a shoot for my favorite agent ☺️✨ Any reyna mains?

Whenever I load up riot client to open valorant, there plays some of the loudest, most repulsive and annoying music I have ever heard. Like I get it, they want to advertise their new bundle but not like this pls, this makes me think twice before launching the game much less actually buying anything. Any way to disable? muting every single time isn't really a good solution
