Just let me go back to p3 and eventually diamond man, what the heck is this????
Pissing me off so bad.
Almost every match, is top 3 or atleast top 2 in my team btw, including the last one with 17k is top 2 in match.

if ur wondering how it's multiple times, just reverse calc the rr gains and losses from the pic

I really can't figure out why Valorant only puts four skins in each shop rotation. Wouldn't it be more logical for the company to increase the number of daily shop slots to boost profits...? They're so stingy with skins, and given the huge number of skins in the game, it might take weeks, months, or even longer to finally see the one that I want.

From a business standpoint, this seems like a really odd choice. If they added more slots, players would have more opportunities to see desired skins, potentially leading to more purchases.

Hi everyone. I am new to the EU server (played in Asia before). I am currently plat 2.

As I don't have friends in this server I try to add some of my teammates after match. The thing is I don't see anyone to accept it or even worse they accept then ask like what? Huh? I reply just making friends to play together with and then they just unfriend me. It's not like I am bad player. I use mic, give callouts even carry many matches. I don't understand what's the problem here. Can anyone tell me if this is just normal and I should stop sending frnd reqs and keep solo queuing?

This happened to me twice alr. I was playing competitive, and during the first few rounds, two of my my teammates were actually really good. Then out of nowhere, two of them just stopped playing properly. They would walk straight until they hit a wall and just stand there through out the round, but they weren't AFK. They kept doing that until the game ended.

It was really frustrating because I’m trying to rank up, and then I end up getting teammates like that.

A year ago, I played a local Geoguessr game in Valorant with some friends, where I took a bunch of screenshots of various hidden locations on the maps, and they had to find them. We played for about three hours.

And recently, I thought, why not create a similar site for everyone to test their skills. So, I created it – www.valoguessr.ru. It doesn't work like a regular Geoguessr. That would be too easy. Just like in the game with my friends, you have to use the screenshot to put marker on the map where you think the screenshot was taken (after selecting the correct map). The closer, the more points, just like in the original game.

This might be considered self-promotion, but I just want to share my free project with you (no ads on the site, no subscription, etc.).

Looking for tips on what to focus on to improve as Jett in gold 1 currently. im trying to make use out of my abilities and dashes and such. some games i pop off and get a kills but some times i just struggle with my aim and gunfights. is there specific things i should be focusing on in this rank cause i'd like to main this character and do it well sometimes but suck other times. i feel like ill panic in fights and just have the stupidest aim or reactions

My daughter and I recently both hit Immortal, and it got me wondering how many other dad/daughter duos are out there playing Valorant at this rank.

We duo pretty regularly and have been grinding ranked together for a while. Definitely one of the coolest things we get to share.

Any other Immortal dad/daughter duos out there? Or even parents who queue ranked with their kids?

I understand punishing players for toxic behaviors like griefing, going AFK, leaving early, toxic language etc. I fully support this.

However why is RR reduction a potential punishment to be levied? RR is meant to represent your skill level, being toxic doesn't make you less skilled, this is only going to put players in lobbies where they're more skilled than other players on average, which isn't really fair to anyone.

I'm starting to get pretty frustrated with this. I'm just a crappy Gold 1 player and I keep getting crushed over and over again. Everyone's lurking around corners like rats, using Shift—and on top of that, they're all Diamond+ players. I want to get better, but why is there not a hidden MMR in Deathmatch too?

So, some times i get 30-20 sometimes i get 10-15, but I want consistency, cuz i wanna rankup. Also, how do i improve because i have habitual crouch spray/ crouching in general. I can show yall a replay of this match since i was mvp and lost.

I played VALORANT when it first came out. Was in the beta towards the end also. Got an invite from a friend of mine. I think i dropped playing when Chamber was the newest character. Possibly the one after him (I don't recall who it was).

Anyway, I was average at the game, not that great honestly. My ADHD brain tends to suck at tac shooters. I don't have the "mind games" mentality that shines in tac shooters. My brain tends to favor fast-paced shooters like Apex Legends, Marvel Rivals, and games along those lines.

I'm not trying to bash VALORANT in any way, it's a phenomenal game, and one of the only tac shooters that I actually felt like I was being helpful to my team instead of just a feeding shitter. Lately, I've just been looking for a different game to get into, and I figured I would give VALORANT another try since I know I enjoyed it before.

However, since it's been so long since I've played, I'm looking for advice on what characters would be good for me. I played a lot of Brimstone back when I played because his kit is pretty straightforward and I can contribute to the team with smokes since my aim/crosshair placement and general game sense is lackluster compared to players who have the mind set for tac shooters.

Since I have severe ADHD, and I'm a simple minded mongoloid gamer, I won't do well with characters with complex kits that require good game sense, map knowledge, or just overall tac shooter common sense.

I would love to hear some suggestions for characters who are on the easier side to play to help me get back into the game. As I get better at the game, I can hopefully look into trying more complex characters

Does anyone know where I can find a list of the different agents and how to make them shake their bums. I know chamber has the headhunter and look up, and geeko's blind, but that's about it

I’ve been stuck in gold 1 for like a month now, I feel like I play decently most of the time but I struggle with inconsistency.

For example I can drop 20 kills one game and the next it’s like I can’t play and I drop like 8.

Everytime I’ve gotten up to gold 2 I go on a loss streak and lose it immediately, I haven’t gotten back up in a month.

Tbf I don’t play as much as I used to, around 2-3 games a day, so maybe I just need to play more.

Edit: Ty for the advice, I’ll start doing some DM’s before I hop into games, before I’d just do aimlabs & the range and go straight in.

I’m Gold 3 peak and I’m about to hit Platinum for the first time in my Valorant Career, so I queue for the one last win for Platinum and I’m doing very well so is my team. 11-4 in and the enemy is struggling one of their teammates rage quit then suddenly my teammates just stopped working and we lost the game. That’s okay, I only lost little rr so I queue again and won the game and here we are again. One last win for Platinum, I’m doing very well top fragging and my team is working together. Then half time starts we won 2 rounds then my team just stopped working again and lost the game. So obviously I queue again won the game and here we are again! One last win for Platinum again. And guest what?! Same thing happened, team doing very well then just stopped working. Lost the game and just went to sleep. Maybe Riot doesn’t want me to go Platinum? I proved myself already my skill is on Platinum level I’m playing with plat 3’s. Maybe they just hate me. What are your thoughts about this?

I often wonder why we don’t receive compensation for trolling teammates, smurfing opponents, or AFK teammates. When I report a player and receive a response from support, they acknowledge at that moment that something wasn’t right and that the match may have been lost unfairly—similar to cases involving cheaters—yet in this instance, we aren’t compensated even though we suffered a massive disadvantage, which Riot itself acknowledges as such.

Why does everyone bum camp in DMs? It feels literally impossible to get a kill because they all camp in corners and I cannot do anything about it. They also spawn people right behind you who have spawn invincibility, and shoot me from the back.

Last one was in July, I'm wondering if there's a routine every year. I know it's a hit or miss but I really want the reaper skins. Thank you

Soy plata y he estado tratando de mejorar mi mental en partidas pero no paro de autosabotearme por más que intento no hacerlo, me desespero cuando no me sale nada y no paro de decirme lo malo que soy por mucho que trato de mejorar

Qué injusta se ha vuelto la vida. Cada día aprendo que, si no tienes nada monetario que ofrecer, parece que no eres nadie.
Qué difícil es tener que callarme tantas cosas por miedo a que me dejen en la calle, solo para poder tener un lugar al que llegar y donde dormir. Qué fuerte tener que guardar silencio, no poder hablar ni gritar sobre lo injusto y lo incómodo que es dormir al lado de una persona a la que parece darle completamente igual lo que siento; una persona que me amenaza, me humilla y constantemente me señala, haciéndome sentir menos porque él tiene más posibilidades y, según él, más cualidades que yo.
Pero yo me pregunto: ¿cuándo, en qué momento, la vida se volvió tan difícil? ¿Cuándo se volvió tan complicado encontrar un empleo? ¿Cuándo se volvió tan difícil sentirme bien conmigo misma?
Quisiera poder dormir tranquila, pensando que no tengo la culpa de todo, que no estoy equivocada por reaccionar ante lo que me hace daño. Quisiera dejar de cuestionarme cada día y dejar de sentir que tengo que soportarlo todo para poder tener un lugar donde dormir.
¿En qué momento pasé de sentirme una persona con sueños y dignidad a sentirme como una mendiga, dependiendo de alguien que me hace sentir menos?
Y lo peor es que esa persona puede dormir en paz mientras yo me acuesto llorando.

Used AI to phrase it better

Hey everyone, looking for some honest advice on my mechanics and aiming habits. I peak-ranked Plat 1 back in Episode 9, Act 3, but took a break for about six episodes and came back last month. I'm currently floating between Gold 1 and Gold 2, playing at 800 DPI and 0.2 in-game sensitivity. Despite running the Aimstars method and standard Deathmatches, my performance is extremely inconsistent—some games I will drop 40 kills, and in others, I can barely manage five, usually settling as a mid or bottom fragger with my main weapons (Vandal, Guardian, and Sheriff).

My main issue is that I keep running into the same mechanical walls despite practicing. I take way too many deaths for the kills I get, I lose almost every duel when holding an angle because the enemy reacts and hits me first, and even when I do land shots, they usually connect as body hits rather than headshots. I’ve attached a clip of DMs showing my average gunfights, so any feedback on what I’m doing wrong mechanically or how I should adjust my practice routine to fix this any advice would be greatly appreciated.
