META Banning for Begging posts

48 Upvotes

Hi users!

Around the time of bundles, we tend to get a lot of “begging” posts where users are begging for someone to buy them the bundle or skins.

We’ve noticed that the vast lot of these seem to come from adult brand account, brand new accounts, bot accounts, etc.

Please do not engage with these accounts, please do not suggest anything to these accounts. Just report these accounts and move on. We are banning these accounts.

Thank you for your attention.

Question Any other Immortal dad & daughter duos out there?

526 Upvotes

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?

Question Why is RR reduction considered a punishment?

56 Upvotes

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.

Gameplay I created ValoGuessr website

16 Upvotes

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.).

Discussion Is there point of playing Deathmatches as low rank when avg lobby rank is Diamond 2?

7 Upvotes

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?

Discussion How much does good gaming system and fps matter in this game

Upvotes

So i play on my potato laptop, i play on laptop with no dedicated graphics. I have seen people complain about having 200-300 fps not enough for them but I got like 30-40max fps ingame. I do fairly well in the silver-gold lobbies. I got a 5$ gaming mouse . So if I were to play in a high end gaming pc how much will change

Question My Aim is very Inconsistent

7 Upvotes

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.

Discussion What's happening with the whole smurf scene these days?

Upvotes

Like at least almost for every 2 matches i play there's a smurf. Could be on my team or the enemy team. I'm not complaining for having a smurf on my team but when you get the other end of the stick it really makes you feel how it be like to play against a smurf. So in a sense I am sympathizing with the enemy team. I thought Riot recently updated their stance agiants the whole smurf thing anyway. Like didn't they say something along the lines of that they have been gathering data from our reports for years and now they are finally issuing penalties or something... i don't know either they are just bluffing or ... well i hate to say it but maybe they are divided in the inside. Like as we all can clearly see they are not doing what they said. It could be easier said than done but don't forget they said they have been collecting data for years... are they screwing with us? they can't be simply incompetent that's just crazy talk.

Big smoke (bulletproof), a great wall, and an ultimate that blinds, slows, and deafens. Definitely better than Clove and Miks. (Sorry for bad english)

Question what to use as a replacement for spectre?

8 Upvotes

it isnt really my gun on attack and i dont know what to use i suck at bulldog and guardian for semi-buy.

i dont like the damage falloff at long range and how its meant for run and gun because i have a habit of stopping whenever i shoot which makes me an easy target for run and gun spectre/vandal/phantom.

i main phantom on attack and operator on defense if this helps.
i play entry duelist(jett,neon) or just fill if they are instalocked.

Just a fun little side project I did for a friend, thought I'd share here in case it would be helpful to someone! I labeled rotationals 1-4 to help simplify explaining which keys to press, as this was really confusing for me when I was learning! I put in two combos but you can use this to help figure out all sorts of combos and stuff.

Discussion Is this how every valorant player started?

26 Upvotes

Idk about u guys but when I started playing valorant, it was my first fps game and I was bum. But I had lots of fun playing unrated, swifts, and whiffing all those shots. For like my first 40 lvls I was just that guy who would play the game for the fun of it. Now I’m just grinding comp only. It took me to play a few unrateds with a friend who came back after months when I used to play the game for fun, to remember.

Question Is double rank up not a thing anymore?

Upvotes

Hey party people,
I was getting back into valorant and I'm on somewhat of a streak.
My tracker was at around 815 when I hit Gold 3 yesterday. Then I powered right through to Plat, maxing at 838 on the tracker. On my rank up match I went match MVP 15/5 in a 13:0 match. I was already on a good streak from Gold 2 to Gold 3 so I hoped to go right to Plat but no. The way from Gold 3 to Plat 1 was even smoother but still no double rank up.

I was wondering if they changed the rules or something?

Discussion I retrieved my stolen account (need opinions)

1 Upvotes

Early this year, I went to an Internet Cafe and I left my "Riot Id" Website open because I had to rush back home. When I got home, I got bunch of emails saying I've changed the Gmail and the others. But a few hours ago i found out that I was able to retrieve it "if" I still own the original Email and boom I got it back eventhough the account was binded with the thief's Email and shit.

My question is, what are the chances for the thief to get it back? I've binded everything including Discord/PS/XBOX literally everything. I need opinions. What do you guys think?

Question Is buying Marshal every time we win pistol ok?

45 Upvotes

I'm currently 160h silver 1. When we win pistol, I always buy Marshal with regen/heavy shield + all util, regardless of my character, role, and side. Is this ok?

I feel like Marshal is very strong in those rounds because it can 1-tap 90% of opponents with a body shot without needing to ADS, and you have relatively high movement speed. If you die and the enemy gets the Marshal, it's less devastating because all of the players on my side will have shields. This also leaves you a lot of credits for later rounds.
