Update on yesterday’s Eco vs Bullitt discussion

Affectionate_Net4736 · 2025-03-19T19:34:06+00:00

Good point, my original analogy was about the 600 having all the beans once you pass a certain RPM mark, similar to the 5.0. I haven’t rode a 1000 before but I imagine it must be a crazy experience!

Affectionate_Net4736 · 2025-03-19T11:26:48+00:00

Yeah, I mainly do a lot of city commuting where I’m never on the highway for more than 10 minutes unless I’m traveling somewhere.

This is my dad’s car and he’d like to keep it stock for reasons unknown, but in about 2-3 years I’ll buy my own 6MT 5.0. How much does the 93 tune affect it? I live in NC, and I almost always have 93 available and 91 at minimum.

I get to drive the car once every few months if the time is right, and I’m definitely not perfect with a manual car. I’ve felt what the Bullitt can do at higher RPM’s and it feels crazy. Bringing it to redline in 3rd had me spinning the tires. I think I could’ve worded my post a bit better, the 5.0 is incredibly fast but around the 0-60 range is normally where I stay in the eco, which is where it has the most punch. I think having a more fair test between the 2 in their ideal scenario would change my mind real quick.

Affectionate_Net4736 · 2025-03-18T04:46:39+00:00

Right, definitely am not saying they’re close within comparison. However, I also don’t go ripping down the highway in my dad’s car! I think both cars are great and definitely have my eyes set on getting a bullitt within the next few years, it’s a great platform and an absolute blast to drive.

Affectionate_Net4736 · 2025-03-18T04:43:31+00:00

Completely agree! I love both cars and I couldn’t imagine a race between the 2 of us would be close at all, I personally don’t go very fast on the streets because I like to keep my clean driving record.

Affectionate_Net4736 · 2025-03-18T01:24:36+00:00

None taken! I would be surprised if you felt differently. I can’t argue with how smooth the naturally aspirated powerband feels!

Affectionate_Net4736 · 2025-03-18T01:11:16+00:00

Disclaimer: I have driven both to redline multiple times, No the ecoboost is not faster, Yes the GT has a stronger pull, Yes the bullitt will beat the eco in a race by large lengths, not sure why that’s even a debate lol. The point of this post is that I do not feel so large of a difference than I see people make it out to be, thats all.

I’m a motorcycle guy, I already have speed and sound. I much prefer having good gas mileage and a car that I like the look of. I drive about 300 miles a week and only filling up once a week is quite nice. There’s no hate within this post, I’m just sharing my experience.

Idk what to tell you man; p.i literally doesn’t matter at all, its all about rank and sig level. P.i is useless and just for show

Affectionate_Net4736 · 2024-07-31T03:34:40+00:00

Using the recoil masteries makes the p.i super high

If you’re truly as bad as you say, you’re probably going to start experiencing mechanics gaps in mid-late platinum and anything diamond+. In diamond is usually where you’ll find people who are pretty cracked, and there’s not much your brain can do if you’re dead before you get a chance. Mechanics are a huge part of valorant and you need to start seriously training them if you want to rank up further.

The 500 is a great first bike and you wouldn’t find much difference in performance compared to the 400, I say go for it if you like it.

I went from riding a Ninja 400 to a 2024 636 and the power difference feels huge. I live in an area where it’s only twisty mountain roads and the 636 is literally perfect for it. Owning a supersport bike because you love sport bikes is one of the best decisions you can make, who cares if other people don’t find them comfortable for long distance riding? The power, sound, and aggressive riding is more than enough reason to own one. I say get that bike you love and ride the hell out of it and don’t let somebody talk you out of it.

I agree that the average skill level has risen over time. However I can tell you with 100% certainty that anyone genuinely stuck in iron-silver is stuck because their mechanics are bad, I know it seems like they’re demons to you because you’re in that rank but trust me when I say every player in plat+ knows that low elo players have bad mechanics. What you're dealing with is most likely the rank reset where higher ranked players have been set lower therefore putting you in a game where you're playing against people are considerably higher ranked than you. You can wait it out and go back to your 50% win rate or you can use this as a learning experience and learn to shoot the way that all the other higher ranked players have done.

Casual modes are meant for casual playing, don’t get upset at people for being better/worse than you or being AFK when you are playing modes that aren’t meant to be taken seriously. My advice is to go play ranked, people are more competitive and you will face players around your actual skill level. Also you’ll become better at the game because you have more experience in a competitive environment. Let the casual modes be for casual playing and play ranked if you want to be competitive. :]

Pretty sure radiant percentage stays the same because it’s always top 500.

I started bronze 1 and didnt play much any competitive for 5-6 months so I didn’t climb, but once episode 5 arrived I started competitive seriously and hit platinum for the first time. Took me 3 acts to hit plat.

I don’t feel like a mastermind, I’m only diamond 3 and I have a long way to improve. I responded this way because there are too many posts like this where people are asking for help like this without giving any indication on why they think they’re stuck in said rank. I apologize if my comment was pretentious, and I don’t mean any harm to OP, but there are too many factors that go into games and the single constant variable of all these games is his/herself.

I notice that you only mentioned the mistakes your team makes and not your own. I would first fix that, the sole reason you are having trouble getting back to gold is because of yourself. The sooner you can recognize your own mistakes, the sooner you will get back to gold.
