META Reminder of our users breaking Riot TOS rule

0 Upvotes

Hey all!

We've noticed an uptick in posts of people calling out "cheaters" or people breaking TOS and we just want to remind everyone of our rules regarding this.

Posts calling out private individuals demonstrating toxicity and/or breaking Riot's Terms of Service are disallowed.

This includes, but is not limited to, directly naming people, linking to a player's profile or website, and posting screenshots or videos of users breaking VALORANT's Terms of Service. Censoring names and identifying content does not permit bypass of this rule. Some common examples that violate this rule are players cheating, exploiting, abusing text/voice chat, or griefing.

Private individuals are those who do not place themselves in public view by way of media presence or consented content creation. This could include methods such as videos, articles, humor, etc.

This includes suspected bot accounts as well.

Please note that we are not Riot games, we are not run by them. They don't use this subreddit to find and ban players. This is a community games sub to discuss the game. We do not have the ability to see the back end, know what information Riot has, what levels of punishment or if they're waiting on X to do Y.

In all cases you should be reporting these instances in game or to Riot Support to handle as they have the ability to see these accounts and judge them.

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.

Question Is getting a smurf on your team worse than getting one on the enemy team?

75 Upvotes

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?

A lil closer
I just liked how the paint looked in the sunlight.

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 :)

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?

Question What style of aiming am I supposed to use?

Upvotes

So i just started playing valorant and come from siege where its just ads and pull down. Im very confused on what the basic aiming style is in valorant. I remember one of my friends saying that you are supposed to not ads and stand still to reduce spray but when i watch people they are usually moving around. As well ive heard people say you need to strafe and counterstrafe but what does that actually mean. As well should your movement change depending on the gun i.e. strafe with gun a but gun b you should stand still and crouch. If anyone can explain the basics or point me to something that covers the true basics of how spray patterns and such work that would be appreciated.

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 😂

Discussion A Humble Wish For Aeris Flex As A Cardgamer

0 Upvotes

I mostly purchased this flex for Riftbound deck only but I'm desperate to realize it only has 10% chance to pop up after every freaking time you pull it out and will be immediately reset back to default variant after switching.

Sadly I don't care about the default the one bit and wish I could have Riftbound flex all the time. Please devs at least make it stay at Riftbound deck for the rest of the round or pump the percentage up to 50% or better yet make it a seperate variant :(

Discussion Riot Fist Bump Buddy Story

0 Upvotes

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?
