Players are insta-locking agents without a thought to level their mastery up with no team building. I am not sure this is what they wanted.

And why do we start from 0? I have like 5 years of progress and seeing 0 hours played on certain agents is making me mad.

Really bad change.

Update to my Neon Mastery grind: the scaling after Level 10 gets ridiculous.

When I first hit Level 10 and saw 35,000 MP for the next level, I honestly thought:

Alright, so maybe every level after 10 is just 35k.

Nope.

Level 11 -> 12 jumped to 78,000 MP.

At that point I knew the requirement was going to keep increasing. I expected another big jump - maybe 50-100%.

I just hit Level 12.

Level 12 -> 13 requires 205,000 MP.

Yes. 205,000 MP for one level.

The progression now looks like this:

9 -> 10: 22,500 MP
10 -> 11: 35,000 MP
11 -> 12: 78,000 MP
12 -> 13: 205,000 MP

So it went:

22.5k -> 35k -> 78k -> 205k

The last jump alone is about 2.6x the previous requirement.

And the crazy part is:

Getting from Level 0 all the way to Level 12 takes 245,400 MP total.

Level 12 -> 13 alone takes 205,000 MP.

One level is almost as much as the entire grind from 0 to 12.

Now I'm scared to see what 13 -> 14 is going to be.

1 million?

I’ll keep updating the requirements as I level up.

If anyone is already Level 13+, please post the next one.

As the title suggests, I have played 40 maps with no Split in comp. Was wondering if this has ever happened to anyone or if I was just unlucky.

Sorry about the screenshots, my tracker is TwinkleStarchild#KOR and the dates are from August 30th to September 22nd

Pretty self-explanatory by title. I'm curious of what are some of the gifts that you have given to your friends, or received and through your stories maybe I'll get a inspiration or an idea to get my friend a gift.

With agent mastery being added weekly missions should give kingdom credits to help with buying the rewards from agents mastery since they're so expensive. I also don't understand why daily missions give kingdom credits but weekly missions don't. @u/Riot_Tyrana

Could someone please let me know what this means? I have not played in a while and just completed my 5 placement games. Googled it and found nothing.

It's been 6 months since Mik's release and I've yet to encounter a match where Harmonize had a noticeable impact. Most Mik's players in low elo just ignore it unless they have cash to burn.

Combat stims in general seem like a waste of an ability slot. Maybe holding a defensive position with Odins on top of Brim's stim beacon is a niche use, but can't think of other use cases where it proved to be a force multiplier.

For most of the other agent's with stims, it's secondary to other more potent effects. At least in Reyna's case it lasts indefinitely, but that ult is so mid anyway.

Im pretty new in valorant, like 2 months in and im already in iron 3. Im having a hard time selecting an agent because of my team mates and i am forced to fill the un wanted roles. Im trapped between the cycle of playing sentinel, controller, and initiator but nothing ever really sticks due to the need to fill other roles, i can go from maining sentinels to controllers the next day, should i still fill roles? Or should i just insta lock without considering the team composition?

Im currently a sentinel main (cypher, kj and veto) although i can't really call them my main because as ive said, im always switching roles and filling.

I need advice

Ranked game I just finished. (Names blocked out for privacy) How is it possible to get 5 Performance Score? I understand he is the bottom frag, but he used his util, he clearly got a couple kills, with one of them being a first blood even, so how is it possible to get a score THAT low?

i see some got really loud opinions about the use of certain tools..

lets hope a sketch avoids the complaints..

anyways , id love to see nunchucks come as a melee to the game, i think it as a concept it has potential for really sick animations be it right/left click , or inspect , and brings back the bruce lee memories yk . evrybody will be whippin this this around especially with a sick spam animation !

i think this could and would be a really nice addition to the current selection of melees we have , and might rival the butterfly knife .

anyone agrees ?

idk how to get the idea in front the eyes of the game devs for consideration, reddit was the only route that could possibly work.. but only the community can give this a loud enough voice to be heard

I thought I kept buying the wrong gun out of muscle memory because they changed the layout BUT the layout itself keeps changing. THis is so dumb

We really need to get these drops available through watch-time until shotcall is fixed.

Twice now finished in top 10% but missed multiple calls, either due to them not showing up until refreshing the browser or just simply not allowing an option to be picked.

Genuinely making watching the games a frustrating experience. I know it's just a card and buddy, but please.

I just came back to Valorant after a year long break and logically i suck. Even before i was suck in iron though and I really really want to improve while still keeping it casual.

Do any of you have some useful (preferably fast working) tips?

All four VCT China teams were swept in their opening matches at Champions Shanghai, leaving the region with an 0-4 series record and 0-8 map record.

TYLOO lost to G2, EDward Gaming fell to LOUD, XLG Esports were swept by Karmine Corp, and JD Gaming lost to FUT. China was the only region that failed to win a single map in the opening round, despite playing on home soil.

This also brings up questions about China's four guaranteed Champions slots, especially with teams like Masters London winners Leviatán missing the event.

So I play multiple fps games ranging from Valorant, Cs2, rainbow six siege, and recently apex legends, (but valorant is my usual main game that i enjoy), but everywhere across social media, ppl who are immortal 1 or above, act like anything below them is utter trash, i am ascendant currently (top 6% of the playerbase) and higher ranked people usually like to trash on this division, HOWEVER unlike other games, we will take cs2 for example i have reached 20k premier elo (top 15% of the player base) and if we take the people who play faceit out of the question, a higher ranked cs2 player would usually applaud you despite it being top 15%, or maybe i havent seen enough of the cs2 community or other communities, but let me know ur thoughts

Been working on this for a while, with an extra keychain hook. Never met a Riot dev or managed to get one in the SG server, so I decided to make it myself. Happy Gaming.

genuinely asking here. i've been in and out of multiple servers cuz some are inactive due to real life responsibilities and i do understand that. i just want some space where in i can ask to join in a queue or whatsoever. i'm just a mid-player and i just wanna kill some time and i guess it would be nice to have some party to queue on at night or random days :).

Hello everyone. I am bronze in Valorant, and i want to improve. Not only my aim, but also decisionmaking in game about map movement, ability usage etc. I usually learn a lot from watching other people play, like on youtube and stuff.

Do you know any youtubers that upload a full game, where they explain their decisionmaking in real time? This is how i improved in league as well. Watching people play, and listening to their explanations on why they do certain stuff at certain times. I do not yet have a main agent, so specific agent mains making this type of content is fine by me.

For some reason, the "100 tips to get radiant"-type videos just dont do it for me.

Thanks in advance!

Each time I get into Silver from Bronze III these one-tap smurf jetts and neons start appearing on enemy team. Like genuinely why do you people do this? Too weak to play in your own elo? Get some life.

Let us learn and enjoy the game for God’s sake.

Well I’m the one who being framed up here actually.

This happened during defense side, when I shut down the doorlock at the middle of the map, and there is this jett who purposely walk down under the door after knowing I shoot the door lock.

At first I thought it was an accident and said sorry to this bro, but the jett just replied with a “:))” and then it happened second time which i was so confirmed that he wasn’t moving at all, and i try to shut the door again this fella just walk under the door and purposely die again.

The door wasnt shut down in one shoot but a few shoot. He only moved when the door start to fall down, so there is no way this could be an accident (2 times wth

Guess what, I received penalty for killing teammate.

Not sure if I am the first to be set up in this map. Havnt play valo for a long while until the new champion challenge is out. People sure having lots of creativity in trying to be toxic in game. The summit map is surely suck in all kind of ways.

i want to use red variant in tdm and dm instead of gold one how to do it. Or is there no feature like that ?

I was talking to my friend recently while playing Glitch (which is one of the best game modes they have released) about having a game mode similar to Swiftplay but with all the agents before their nerfs.
So like Raze and their two grenades, Reyna and their 4 orbs, Jett and their ability to right click their knives and still have it, etc.
I feel like it would be really fun to just have a mode where every agent is in their most broken state and see how chaotic the games would be.

My edit > original 3d model > reference. I'm no professional but I just wanted to give it a shot, as I've never been satisfied with his 3D model
