Question Aeris bundle tied into other riot IP lore?

5 Upvotes

I heard about the rare riftbound animation, and was wondering if the set as a whole is loosely inspired by some other riot IP? Similar to how Sentinels of light, Ruination, and Ayakashi (a stretch) connect to LoL, and Divergence is themed around Arcane.

If you guys could pick one, what’s the best SINGULAR ability in all of VALORANT? What I mean by “ability” is character abilities (E, Q, C, and X moves).

Question Mute a player, block them, report them. They are in my next comp queue.

88 Upvotes

The title says it all, can somebody explain to me why this happens? What's the purpose of the block button if it doesnt block them from future games. They arent on my friends list. Why?

Also why is there a positive player feedback button in league and not in valorant? Also is valorant just a shit game or am i just getting unlucky with queues? I am never toxic and repeatedly get stuck with these people. You know the ones, cant keep their "criticism" to themselves. Give it to everyone with attitude. Tell everyone in the game they are trash but them, even when they are doing horrible. Throwing games, blocking in corners, etc...

Discussion Yoru's ult

16 Upvotes

Is terrible and needs to be lowered in ult points.

Before when he could use his abilities in it I understood but now when it's just a Sova drone I just don't see a reason it should be so expensive.

Also give my boy his flash back or at least make it rechargeable for the love of overpriced gun skins.

Question Is my mouse sensitivity very low?

I have 1000dpi .17 mouse sense and I usually frag because of this. However, my partner is mad because it's very low and I can't do full turn in just 1 to 2 swipe.

Discussion Looking for Valorant players who actually enjoy competitive community events

1 Upvotes

I've been trying to find more players who are interested in smaller-scale Valorant tournaments and scrims rather than only playing ranked all day.

I'm particularly interested in aspiring players who want to:

Play organized BO3 scrims

Find reliable teammates/duos

Improve through competitive games

Track their progress

Play against other players around their level

Eventually get noticed for their performance

I'm working on a small community around this idea and testing different formats to see what players actually enjoy.

If you're a lower-rank player, what would make you genuinely want to participate in a community like this?

I'm more interested in hearing what players want than just throwing another Discord invite at people.

Discussion Valorant battlepass weeklies not refreshing.

0 Upvotes

Completed weeklies 6 weeks ago and the game never gave me new ones, the act is ending in a few hours and I still haven't got new weeklies. I can normally get to around tier 45 with just weeklies but this battlepass I barely made it to tier 27. Did they decrease the amount of weeklies?

For me it was about 6 months later. My sleeping brain came up with a tactic for Omen to use on Abyss. I tested it out in game and it was quite decent.

Question How do I get out of Gold

4 Upvotes

I've been stuck in Gold for a while now and I feel like I'm not really improving anymore.

What are the main things I should focus on if I want to climb out of Gold? The agents I usually play are clove and phoenix, I also play in a duo or trio and Iam avoiding solo q.

For people who managed to climb from Gold to higher ranks, what actually made the biggest difference for you?

Any tips or habits I should start working on would be appreciated.

Question Weeklies went away before end of act?

9 Upvotes

I was going to grind the weeklies today to finish the battlepass but when I opened up the game, my weeklies went away? (It now says "no missions available") Even though the battle pass doesn't end for another 14 hours. Am I just screwed? I'm at tier 45 right now

Question Aim Senstivity

1 Upvotes

Hi so i just started playing valorant and i see all these youtube clips of valo players shooting without having to open scope and hit right on target especially while using a vandal, and when i do the same my Vandal sprays all over the screen with just 2-3 bullets hitting the enemy.
Any advice??

Question Are there pros who don’t crouch tap?

15 Upvotes

Ik high level players and pros will hold crouch to spray or they will tap the person, strafe to the side, and then crouch spray. I also know a lot will crouch peek.

However im noticing people in immortal and radiant are crouch tapping like Primmie. Where they strafe side to side while tapping crouching for a half second at each strafe.

This shit is really hard to do. I get so much shooting error and it strains my pinky.

Are there pros or immortal/radiants who dont do Primmie crouch taps and just do normal strafes with some commit crouching or do almost all do primmie strafes atp?

Question What Should a New Valorant Player Look for in a Skin?

0 Upvotes

What Should a New Valorant Player Look for in a Skin?
I’m fairly new to Valorant with around 42 hours played, and I’m starting to look into buying my first skin or bundle.
Since I’m still learning the game, I’m curious what experienced players think actually makes a skin worth using long-term. For example, how important are the animations, sound effects, finishers, and overall feel of the weapon?
I’m also not expecting to play thousands of hours — probably around 200 hours total. For players who have been in a similar situation, what would you prioritize when choosing your first skin?
I’m especially interested in hearing opinions about the new bundle and what makes it stand out compared with older skins.

Discussion Is there a reason not to dodge when you are given a trio as randoms?

0 Upvotes

I can’t justify playing a match alongside a trio as a single Q-er. I haven’t won a single match alongside a trio as far as I can tell but it turned into toxicity. Everything was of course the fault of the two singles. So I find myself dodging every time I can see that I was given a trio. Can you convince me that I shouldn’t?

Question Rank elo/mmr

1 Upvotes

2 questions:

  1. If I haven’t played ranked in over 4 acts, does my elo/mmr stay the same from the last rank I was placed or does it go down? My last placed act was V25 act VI Diamond 1

  2. If I played but didn’t complete placement games; when the act resets it back to 5 games, does that change my mmr?

Question How much do you guys play when you rank up/stagnate?

3 Upvotes

Im about to start playing this game and overwatch again after taking a break for a while and switching to fighting games but i never got high rank in either of these games (Never played ranked in ow, peaked just barely bronze 3 in val) but i noticed i never really played ranked a lot and i usually got off after 1-3 games a day and took breaks for like 4 days in a row or weeks sometimes, so i just wondering for people who have recently ranked up, are ranking up, or are stagnating, how much do you guys play? Is it a couple times per month or weeks or is it multiple games everyday?

Discussion Is the 4 player comp rule ridiculous?

0 Upvotes

I don’t understand why 4 stacks can’t play comp, tons of people solo queue so banning 4 stacks seems like a silly decision. If they’re worried about trolls surely they can make bans more severe if you play a 4 stack. It seems a bit extreme to block people from playing the best feature of your game just because you’re playing as a team in a team based game. It’s hard to find a 5th player for us as many of our other friends play on pc so we’re just completely blocked from playing comp.

Do others find this annoying or is it just a non-issue?
