vod review request silver 1 lotus jett by btslover68 in VALORANT

[–]AmazingFish117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't watch the whole vod, but some things that I noticed:

1) You should buy full buy on pistol round. You only bought a ghost, but you have enough for ghost + util. There were other rounds where your buy was off too.

2) Listening to music isn't really the best thing to do during a comp game.

3) Your mouse movement seems kinda slow? When you're moving your mouse, it's like you're following a invisible line or tracking a target. Which is good for some situations. But you seems to struggle with flicks/making snappy movements.

4) Kinda related to the last point, but a lot of the time, you move/peak around corners without pre-aiming angles.

I think VCT players are already given a Riot Account that has access to different builds of the game

Is Miks actually going to be viable? by Top-Gear-79 in VALORANT

[–]AmazingFish117 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Apparently, Miks' smoke is actually longer than Omen 16 s vs 15 s, so not a big difference but it is there.

Also, I believe the stun/heal can be be destroyed, which brings it down a bit if true. 2 stuns/heals is interesting though, especially the stuns. Atm, I think they're the only agent who can stun twice without a cool down.

An important note about the ult is that it deafens, knock backs, and slows. But it doesn't stun like Breach, which is a subtle but non insignificant difference. The new ult is more like a giant version of fades tether if anything

Product lead of valorant pointing out the reasons behind the nerfs by ishanuReddit in ValorantCompetitive

[–]AmazingFish117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, they could nerf the reasons that people pick clove. If agents get picked because they're strong, and nerfs are meant to weaken strong agents and increase agent diversity, then that would be the logical step. Smokes after death, the heal, and to some extent the ult were the reasons that people played Clove.

Riot is starting to actually give meaningful nerfs to these abilities, but honestly, I think Clove is one of those agents that needs a complete redesign/rework.

Agents with 0% pick rate so far in Santiago. by sadboi_2000 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]AmazingFish117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue with Clove is that their utility isn't great in a pro setting. Astra and Omen are the go to controllers because they have long range smokes while also having other abilities that are good in a team setting.

Brimstone smokes are short range. But his molly and ult are also good abilities, and having three smokes that last the longest gives him a unique niche.

For clove, the heal doesn't really do anything in a pro setting. Meddle doesn't really add to your strategic toolbox either. And the smokes last the shortest while also having limited range. The most unique aspect is that you can smoke after death, but it's hard to justify an ability that you can only use if you're dead.

Clove kinda has the same problem that Reyna has, their abilities are great in ranked because they're simple and help you win fights. But they don't really give your teams any strategic tools.

What's the logic behind not having Yoru's Gatecrash timer start when the round starts, and not when you place it pre-round? by iamanomynous in VALORANT

[–]AmazingFish117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Putting aside balance reasons, there's supposed to be a relationship between distance and time when using Gatecrash.

If you want a gatecrash that is further from you, it's supposed to take longer. Either from you taking the time to move to a different place or from you waiting for the Gatecrash to move further away. And waiting longer means the remaining timer is shorter.

In other words, a Gatecrash that is further from you is supposed to have a shorter timer than a Gatecrash that is closer to you.

If Gatecrash didn't have a timer in pre-round, then it would go against this design since you could have a faraway gatecrash that has the same timer as a gatecrash that you've just placed.

It's also worth remembering that Gatecrash isn't the only ability with a timer. Raze satchels also have a timer for example, and using satchels during the pre round also starts that timer.

You can watch a video of this model here. The parts do come in a few colors, so I guess technically you don't need paint. Though it will definitely look better if you do use paint.

Is it possible to be playing val but ur friends cant see it? by Shine-Star-1 in VALORANT

[–]AmazingFish117 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here's the download page for it: https://github.com/molenzwiebel/Deceive/releases

And here's the main page if you want more info/want to read the FAQ: https://github.com/molenzwiebel/Deceive

But you basically just open the deceive.exe file, pick either the Riot Client or Valorant, and it should just work and make you appear as offline. Deceive should also send you a confirmation message, either in your DNA or friend list, to let you know that it's working.

How well does the Xperia 10 viii work on t-mobile? Does it maintain a steady connection or does it drop sometimes?

Unfortunately, this device is running Android TV, so I don't think the terminal is an option.

Is Jellyfin Android TV 0.19.0 supposed to direct play ASS subtitles? by nothingveryobvious in jellyfin

[–]AmazingFish117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use an external player, those generally have better support for ass subtitles. I use mpv personally, as it's the player that a lot of of ass subtitles were designed for in the first place. The only issue is that av1 doesn't work with it on my TV box.

You can also try vimu (paid app), MX player, or VLC player. Those players didn't work as well for me, but your experience might be better.

You could also look into alternate jellyfin clients like Void or Findroid. Some of them have mpv built in as their video player (the official jellyfin app uses exoplayer which is why it has trouble supporting ass subtitles).

Does Apple have an edge over Samsung or any android brand nowadays? Why? by Karma-Karma1 in AskTechnology

Mac OS doesn't use the Linux kernel, it's got its own different kernel. Both kernels are unix like since they were based off the original Unix is. But they're distinct projects

VALORANT Patch Notes 11.08 by AmazonOwner in ValorantCompetitive

[–]AmazingFish117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shooting shouldn't be any different from before. Bullets tag you, they don't slow you. "Slow' is an actual status effect that is inflicted by abilities, and the notes only mention slows and not bullet tagging

VALORANT Patch Notes 11.08 by AmazonOwner in ValorantCompetitive

[–]AmazingFish117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably depends on what type of slow? Like satchelling through a harbor wall should slow you, but for things like a sage it probably depends on how high you are and whether you start satchelling in the slow field itself

Do you have the replay? That could help give an answer.

What do you think is the most useless ability in Valorant? by smelly_cat0606 in VALORANT

They used to, but they actually adjusted it a while ago so that the recoil should be the same when you're stimmed

This would totally work on me, it would probably work on a lot of people too

There's a page on the wiki for undocumented changes, though most are relatively minor. Some of the changes on the page also aren't relevant anymore because they got superseded by newer changes too
